Re: Error loading tcp_bbr kernel module

Hi Michael,

thanks for your reply.

I tried tcp_rack and tcp_bbr, since both are separate TCP stacks. I just posted the wrong error message. Both TCP stacks weren’t loadable as a kernel module with just the former mentioned build option.

I currently have build running with both kernel options  you mentioned.

If the build is successful and I can change the default TCP stack to RACK and BBR I let you know.

Further I didn’t find any documentation within tcp(4) regarding RACK and BBR. Since I am about to enhance the manpages, I’ll extent tcp(4) about information about RACK and BBR, but this is a different topic.

Best regards,

Gordon
