Cloudflare's TCP congestion control algorithms have evolved to be more responsive to the dynamic and often sporadic nature of network congestion, particularly on mobile networks. By analyzing real-world network data from its global network, Cloudflare tunes its algorithms on a per-network basis to optimize performance, especially for networks experiencing high loss rates. This continuous tuning based on network growth and data analysis is core to Cloudflare's mission of building a better Internet.

Mobile Web Performance: Optimizing TCP Congestion Control Algorithms

6/13/2012

This post introduces Cloudflare's initiative to tune its TCP Congestion Control Algorithms based on real-world network data. It highlights the limitations of traditional algorithms in handling mobile network congestion and describes how Cloudflare is using its global network insights to adapt these algorithms for improved performance, especially on high-loss mobile networks. The post also emphasizes the ongoing nature of this tuning as the network grows.
