Abstract

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in the Internet Protocol (IP) suite has become the most widely used protocol over the years for communicating between two computers. Recent developments in high-speed networking have created considerable interest in the performance analysis of TCP. Since many applications employ short data transfers, which complete even before TCP reaching its steady state, performance of TCP during the starting epoch is very critical. The algorithms and parameters used during this initial epoch affect the performance of TCP to a great extent. Start up dynamics of the TCP has considerable impact on its performance. TCP has different implementations namely Tahoe, Reno, New Reno depending on the algorithms used in this phase. This paper compares the performance of these three implementations along with SACK TCP in a congested network.
