VEGAS: Better Performance than other TCP Congestion Control Algorithms on MANETs

The wireless communication TCP/IP protocol is an important role in developing communicationsystems and which provides better and reliable communication capabilities in almost all kinds ofnetworking environment. The wireless networking technology and the new kind of requirements incommunication systems need some extensions to the original design of TCP for on comingtechnology development. In this paper we have analyzed six TCP Congestion Control Algorithmsand their performance on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). More specifically, we describe theperformance behavior of BIC, Cubic, TCP Compound, Vegas, Reno and Westwood congestioncontrol algorithms. The evaluation is simulated through Network Simulator (NS2) and theperformance of these congestion control algorithms is analyzed with suitable metrics.
