Transmission Control Protocol and Congestion Control: A Review of TCP Variants (original) (raw)

2016

Abstract

Transmission control protocol (TCP) provides a reliable data transfer in all end-to-end data stream services on the internet. There are some mechanisms that TCP has that make it suitable for this purpose. Over the years, there have been modifications in TCP algorithms starting from the basic TCP that has only slow-start and congestion avoidance algorithm to the modifications and additions of new algorithms. Today, TCP comes in various variants which include TCP Tahoe, Reno, new reno, vegas, sack etc. Each of this TCP variant has its peculiarities, merits and demerits. This paper is a review of four TCP variants, they are: TCP tahoe, Reno, new reno and vegas, their congestion avoidance algorithms, and possible future research areas.
