Recently, pacing support was added for cubic congestion algorithm. This was activated by using the new token "cubic-pacing" on quic-cc-algo. Furthermore, it was possible to define a burst size with a new parameters after congestion token between parenthesis. This configuration is not oblivious to users. In particular, it can cause to easily forgot to tweak burst size, which can dramatically impact performance. Simplify this by removing the extra "-pacing" suffix. Now, pacing will be activated solely based on the burst parameter. If 0, burst is considered as infinite and no pacing will be used. Pacing will be activating for any positive burst. This better reflects the link between pacing and burst and its importance. Note that for the moment, if burst is specified, it will be ignored with a warning for algorithm outside of cubic. This is not a breaking change as pacing support was implemented in the current dev version.
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
