Performance evaluation of TCP congestion control for different network operating systems

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the diyerent congestion control and avoidance mechanism which have been proposed for TCP protocol for diyerent network operating systems, namely: Tahoe, Reno, and SACK with diferent Unix and Windows based operating systems. Also, in this paper the previous mechanism shall implemented with Jacobson’s, Kern’s, and Nagle ’s algorithm for jlow control and round trip time calculation. Congestion window for TCP implementation in Unix Solaris, HP-UX and dyerent Microsoft Windows implementation will be investigated.
