Abstract
There are many congestion control mechanisms of TCP reported in the literature. Examples of these mechanisms are additive increase/multiplicative decrease, slow start, fast retransmit and fast recovery, and selective acknowledgement. Different versions of TCP have been implemented that include the previous mechanisms. Examples of these versions are TCP/Reno, TCP/Vegas, TCP/Sack, and TCP/Fack.
In this paper we have simulated different versions of TCP congestion control mechanisms. Extensive simulations are carried using NS Simulator to study the performance of the TCP congestion control mechanisms with different parameters such as the advertised window size, the initial size of congestion window on slow start, packet size, queue size, and bandwidth.
