Abstract
TCP/IP is the main and most widely used transport protocol for reliable communication. Actual use of TCP/IP protocol on wireless links in the Internet has found some serious performance issues. Different versions of the TCP have been planned to improve the performance of data transmission. Due to its widespread need, researchers have been proposing and studying new various TCP variants trying to improve its behavior. Different variants of TCP named TAHOE, RENO, NEW RENO, COMPOUND TCP, TCP VEGAS, HS (High Speed) TCP etc. Network Simulation and Emulation are widely used to Develop, Test and Debug new protocols, to explore and study a specific Network related research issue, or to evaluate the network performance of an existing protocol. We will compare the performance of various TCP variants in terms of different parameters and the final results can provide further insight into the advantages and drawbacks of TCP variants.
