Video: BBR Support for Pods

[04:45] Tune in to our experts Nikolay Aleksandrov (speaker) and Daniel Borkmann comparing BBR-based congestion control to Linux' default CUBIC for Pods. The BBR-based congestion control for Pods has been added in Cilium 1.12 as a new feature for Cilium's Bandwidth Manager and for the first time enables Pods to use BBR in practice. Using a real-world adaptive video streaming use case they will compare two different network conditions - high-speed long-haul links with large BDP and last mile networks at the edge of Internet - and discuss the results.
