Abstract:
TCP variants are significant as they are crucial in IP supporting networks. Hence, research is directed towards the management of TCP variants in network management and functioing. TCP provides a trustworthy end to end data transfer under changeable wired networks. The unreliability of IP network is a major problem where TCP is deployed to address the issue. Network management now heavily relies on MPLS over Internet to transfer data, to have edge over the traditional transferring strategies. While studying the protocol networks, it is found that the TCP show varying behavior. The current study is an extension of the work we did for TCP variants under IP and MPLS networks by focusing Tahoe, Reno, New Reno, Sack and Vegas under File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
