Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a reliable protocol uses for transferring data end to end in the network. It is used by many internet applications. It was originally designed to handle congestion issue in the network. It has many variants like Tahoe, Reno, New Reno. This paper presents the performance of different variants of TCP to identify how they work with varying network characteristics. The simulation is done with the help of NS2. The results show how different variants give their performance on delay, packet drops, and throughput. This is immensely important analysis, to know which variant is better for a specific criterion. This paper covers many variants and their nature of handling congestion regarding to changes in the network.
