 # TCP ROCCET :rocket: (RTT Oriented CUBIC Congestion control ExTension)
 
-TCP ROCCET is a new TCP congestion control algorithm that reduces latency by detecting queuing.
-Additionally, it is specially suited for 4G/5G cellular networks.
+TCP ROCCET is a new TCP congestion control
+algorithm suited for current cellular 5G NR beyond networks.
+It extends the kernel default congestion control CUBIC
+and improves its performance, and additionally solves
+unwanted side effects of CUBIC’s implementation.
+ROCCET uses its own Slow Start, called LAUNCH, where loss
+is not considered as a congestion event.
+The congestion avoidance phase, called ORBITER, uses 
+CUBIC's window growth function and adds, based on RTT
+and ACK rate, congestion events.
 
-A peer-reviewed [paper on TCP ROCCET](https://opendl.ifip-tc6.org/db/conf/wons/wons2026/1571217211.pdf) was presented at the WONS 2026 conference.
+NOTE: A paper for TCP ROCCET is currently under review.
+Paper draft:

-## Install with apt
-Add tcp-roccet-dkms to your source lists and install:
-```
-echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/timfuchs/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tcp-roccet.list
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install tcp-roccet-dkms
-```
+The oldest Linux kernel version we tested with ROCCET is 6.1.
 
-### Loading and using the congestion control
-Note: This change is not persistent, the module will not be loaded at boot.

-sudo sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=roccet
