In this paper, two TCP variants are compared in different scenario. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a reliable, end-to-end transport protocol which is most widely used for data services and is very efficient for wired networks. It also performs well in wireless networks. It is the backbone protocol of most of the internet based applications. Our analysis is on performance of TCP variants. In this paper we carry out performance study of TCP Sack and TCP Vegas to be able to classify which variant of TCP performs better in various possible scenarios. This paper describes an NS-2 based simulation analysis. By varying different parameters and congestion control mechanism we will check its effect on Throughput.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
