This worries me, because I did some experimentatiion yesterday, changing these settings and trying things out, Not for sending, but for recieving. i.e. I switch the algorithm on the server, and then send a lot of data to it. I have a MacBook, on home lan+wifi, and a small server running FreeBSD 13. I backup the laptop by rsyncing to the server and I can run that manually, so its a nice test of how fast I can push data to the server. I switched the server to cubic - and my rsync fails. Not always at the same point, but predictably after a number of minutes it always fails with the connection being dropped. Doesnt happen with newreno, and always happens with cubic. Which surprised me. So, I switched cubic back to newreno - but if this is going to be the default in CURRENT then probably we need to gte to the bottom of it somehow. I just am not sure how to start... -pete.
