Performance Comparison of different Congestion Control Protocols in Hybrid Network

Abstract

Widely implemented topology in Internet is Heterogeneous networks which are a combination of wired and wireless networks. Due to high bandwidth availability at wired links and high delayed products at wireless links, bottleneck situation is generated at Access Point and it has to face severe Congestion consequences. Some of the most known and recent protocols developed to provide faster and lighter congestion control are TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and the Rate Control Protocol (RCP). This paper provides performance comparison of TCP, RCP+ and our proposed algorithm RCP++ in hybrid network.
