Abstract

The TCP is one of the important protocols of the IP suite. It provides reliable, in-order delivery of a stream of bytes from a program on one computer to a program on another computer thus making it suitable for applications like file transfer and e-mail. Many studies in the Internet have shown that about 90% of the applications in the Internet use the TCP. With ever-increasing number of Internet users and bandwidth-hungry applications, the technology used in the core network has evolved to high-speed optical networks. The design of an efficient and reliable transport protocol in high-speed networks has become a challenging issue due to problems associated with the fundamental design of the TCP.
