Watch Videos At Higher Resolutions On Linux

[Tas_mania]

Previously here at Watercooler I came across a networking algorithm that can improve bandwidth on the big video platform

I did some more investigating and found a way of making it permanent on a Linux system.

Find what congestion control you are using now:
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
Mine had
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno cubic

Add BBR
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf        (gedit or whatever editor you want)
add the following two lines:

net.core.default_qdisc=fq
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr
save file
reload sysctl.conf  >   sudo sysctl -p

check congestion control again:
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno cubic bbr

Hopefully enabling this gives you better video performance.
I think more people are 'streaming' video on Android TVs. A network is only as fast as it's slowest bottleneck.
