Improved transmission control protocol model

Abstract

Transmission Control Protocol is one of the key protocol of Transport Layer in TCP/IP Protocols suite. While IP transmits data between individual computers on the Internet, TCP transfers data between actual applications running on the system. TCP provides connection oriented and reliable data stream. TCP achieves this reliability by assigning a sequence number to each segment it transmits and requiring a acknowledgment (ACK) from the receiving end. If the ACK is not received within the time-out interval, the data is retransmitted. This research paper describes improved Transmission Control Protocol model which transfers data efficiently among its peer.
