Description
Muhammad Ahsan and Sajid Muhammad retune the internet's traffic cop for modern Wi-Fi in a 2023 paper. Google's BBR algorithm paces data by modeling a link's true capacity, aiming for full speed without clogging queues. Its second version, though, underfeeds Wi-Fi 5 networks, because the radio's frame-bundling trick sits idle.
Their variant, BBR-n, keeps more frames flowing into the radio bundle. On a physical testbed measured with standard tools, BBR-n more than doubled the throughput of stock BBR v2 on Wi-Fi 5. It also answered faster than the older loss-based rivals still common on the internet. The fix is small, targeted, and tested on real hardware.
