TCP congestion control has been intended to ensure the internet constancy along with impartial and an efficient allocation of the network bandwidth. To reduce the congestion collapse, they are several congestion control algorithms, namely TCP Forward acknowledgement (TCP Fack), TCP Selective acknowledgement (TCP Sack), and Rate Based Pacing are discussed here. The main purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the various congestion control algorithms which are available in TCP/IP protocols suite. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of different TCP congestion control algorithms by considering the performance metrics, Throughput, end to end delay, Jitter, Packet Delivery Ratio and packet loss. A table has also specified which show the comparison results of the TCP variants. This analysis will be helpful in determining the best variants among the various TCP congestion control algorithms to ensure the efficient data transfer, reliability, and speed.
