Mechanisms for Improving TCP Performance

Introduction

One of the most trustworthy protocols like the TCP, which has performed well in conventional networks, has been suffering from the packet losses, which are often a result of congestion. However, TCP networks are not the only ones that suffer from this problem, there are other networks including the lossy and the wireless networks that are suffering from the same problem (Karn, & Partridge, 1991). The TCP protocol responds to these losses through invoking the congestion control, along with the implementation of evasion algorithms. This results in the degradation of the end to ...
