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=E2=80=99t 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=E2=80=99t find any documentation within tcp(4) regarding =
RACK and BBR. Since I am about to enhance the manpages, I=E2=80=99ll =
extent tcp(4) about information about RACK and BBR, but this is a =
different topic.

Best regards,

Gordon
