TCP-Transmission Control Protocol is a connection oriented and reliable transport layer protocol of TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP provided process-to-process, stream and full duplex communication. TCP also provides flow control, error correction and congestion control. Congestion is the traffic jam of the packets in the network. It occurs when the load in the network is higher than of its capacity to handle. This paper explains basic congestion control mechanisms used by TCP. This paper also discuss some of the possibilities of future research work in TCP congestion control. This all TCP variants have been proposed to improve TCP congestion control mechanisms. This paper explores some of the most widely used TCP variants conceptually.
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.
