CUBIC TCP

CUBIC is a <a href="/facts/Network_congestion/9ohkRMso">network congestion avoidance</a> algorithm for <a href="/facts/Transmission_Control_Protocol/WW4sPrt9">TCP</a> which can achieve high bandwidth connections over networks more quickly and reliably in the face of high latency than earlier algorithms. It helps optimize <a href="/facts/Long_fat_network/72txR7o3">long fat networks</a>.
In 2006, the first CUBIC implementation was released in <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> <a href="/facts/Linux_kernel_version_history/zRSNGJ91">kernel 2.6.13</a>. Since kernel version 2.6.19, CUBIC replaces <a href="/facts/BIC_TCP/LepFBbHI">BIC-TCP</a> as the default TCP congestion control algorithm in the Linux kernel.
<a href="/facts/MacOS/Y93vVpTm">MacOS</a> adopted TCP CUBIC with the <a href="/facts/OS_X_Yosemite/nUzgd9Il">OS X Yosemite</a> release in 2014, while the previous release <a href="/facts/OS_X_Mavericks/5xavJXqv">OS X Mavericks</a> still used TCP New Reno.
Microsoft adopted it by default in <a href="/facts/Windows_10_version_history/flA9H1oo">Windows 10.1709 Fall Creators Update</a> (2017), and Windows Server 2016 1709 update.
