Dear All,

I’m a newbie for FreeBSD development. May I ask a stupid question where could I find the TCP BBR patches  :P 

From the FreeBSD Transport DevSubmit page, I knew that Randall Stewart is the main contributor for TCP BBR task, and found the code changes may be ready to get in.

I have searched the keyword “BBR” on https://reviews.freebsd.org <https://reviews.freebsd.org/>, but I only got few related documents, haven’t found the source code change about the TCP BBR:
 -  D11086 ("Enable the ability to load multiple versions of the same TCP stack”) document. 
 -  D11085 (“TCP Blackbox Recorder") document

I’m planing to transplant the BBR congestion control algorithm for FreeBSD SCTP network protocol in our project, so it would be really great if I could find a BBR code base on FreeBSD. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-D

Thanks a lot,
- Kuankuan
