Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant protocol in modern communication networks, within which the issues of reliability, data flow and congestion control must be handled efficiently. TCP provides a communication service at an intermediate level between an application program and the Internet Protocol (IP). With the evolution of Third Generation (3G) toward 4G wireless network, such as Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-Advanced) standard, the use of TCP becoming more important for reliable end-to-end data delivery. As TCP was initially designed for wired networks, the...

This book presents the architecture, fundamentals and analyzed the functional structure of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Besides, the book had focused on the congestion control mechanism used by typical TCP variants. It had reviewed the factors and the parameters that affect the behavior and the TCP performance, and had illustrated the design of the congestion control of six TCP source variants in addition to some other TCPs. Furthermore, in this book, a new TCP agent was generated with an enhanced congestion control algorithm which carry the general architecture of TCP Reno but it is...
