摘要：There has been a very rapid growth in developments related to wireless technologies over the last decade. The new evolved technology aims at providing network availability to users everywhere, at all times and at low cost. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is reliable, connection oriented transport protocol which provides end-to-end data delivery in networks. TCP was primarily designed for wired networks and it shows performance degradation when used in wireless networks. The main concern in wireless networks with TCP is the packet loss which is mostly considered to have occurred due to congestion. Over the time many TCP variants have been developed to solve the problem of congestion and improve performance of TCP. In this paper, an analysis of TCP variants has been performed. Paper presents methods along with corresponding advantages and disadvantages, which provides areas for future research.
