BIC TCP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BIC TCP (Binary Increase Congestion control) is an implementation of TCP with an optimized congestion control algorithm for high speed networks with high latency: so-called "long fat networks".

BIC TCP is implemented and used by default in Linux kernels 2.6.8 and above. The default implementation was again changed to CUBIC TCP in the 2.6.19 version.
