Abstract

In a network, the most common transport protocol is the Transmission Control Protocol. The Transmission Control Protocol comes in many variants like TCP, Tahoe, Reno, NewReno, Vegas, STCP and so on. Each of these variants would work differently in different networks according to the parameters of that network. On the other hand, there are mainly four common routing protocols used in networks like DSDV, DSR, AODV and TORA. In this paper, we have simulated different networks with differing parameters to analyze the behavior of the most common protocols DSDV and AODV with different variants of TCP. By creating different networks in ns2 simulator, we could deeply analyze the behavior of the protocols with these TCP variants in the basis of the amount of packet drops in each case. The lesser the amount of drops the better the algorithm. This paper implicitly analyses which TCP variant has lesser drop rates with which routing protocol.
