Analytical Research of TCP Variants in Terms of Maximum Throughput
Abstract— This paper is comparative, throughput analysis, for the TCP variants as for New Reno, Westwood & High Speed, and it analyzes the outcomes in simulated environment for NS -3 (version 3.25) simulator with reference to multiple varying network parameters that includes network simulation time, router bandwidth, varying traffic source counts to observe which is one of the best TCP variant in different scenarios. Analysis was done using dumbbell topology to figure out the comparative maximum throughput of TCP variants. The analysis gives result as TCP Variant “NewReno” is good when low bandwidth is used, while TCP Variant “HighSpeed” is good in terms of using large bandwidths in comparison to Westwood. Network traffic flow was observed in NetAnim tool.
