An enhancement of BIC, this was added to the BIC implementation in Linux 2.6.16, and became the default algorithm in 2.6.19. In Linux 2.6.26, the algorithm was improved to converge faster on LFNs. In September 2009, a CUBIC implementation was announced as a patch to FreeBSD. In December 2018, Microsoft documented that Windows Server 2019 changed the "default TCP congestion provider to Cubic to give you more throughput".
