Miller <davem@redhat.com> commit e1c3e7ab6de9711d2e0e9daf369c6638582eb7e7 Author: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Date: Sat Mar 24 21:34:38 2007 -0700 [TCP]: cubic update for net-2.6.22 The following update received from Injong updates TCP cubic to the latest version. I am running more complete tests and will have results after 4/1. According to Injong: the new version improves on its scalability, fairness and stability. So in all properties, we confirmed it shows better performance.
