TCP Transmission Control Protocol

TCP Transmission Control Protocol   A Reliable, Connection-Oriented, Byte-Stream Service   Objective This lab is designed to demonstrate the congestion control algorithms implemented by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The lab provides a number of scenarios to simulate these algorithms. You will compare the performance of the algorithms through the analysis of the simulation results.   Overview The Internet�s TCP guarantees the reliable, in-order delivery of a stream of bytes. It includes a flow-control mechanism for the byte streams that allows the receiver to limit how much data the sender can transmit at a given time. In addition, TCP implements a highly tuned congestion-control mechanism. The idea of this mechanism is to throttle how fast TCP sends data to keep the sender from overloading the network. The idea of TCP congestion control is for each source to determine how much capacity is available in the network, so that it knows how many packets it c...
