Congestion can occur when the quality of service in a network reduces as a result of a node orlink conveying too many data. TCP is the most widely used protocol for Internet traffic,including email, web browsing, data and an increasing portion of multimedia content deliveredin real time using the HTTP/TCP protocols. Performances of existing TCP congestion controlalgorithms degrade significantly when deployed over wireless networks. TCP was designedprimarily for reliability as opposed to real time delivery, but the problem is particularly severefor real time applications, such as, HTTP/TCP based streaming. In this paper, we carried out aresearch on the TCP’s four related congestion control algorithms, namely: slow-start, congestionavoidance, fast retransmit and fast recovery. We studied the behaviour and implementation ofslow-start and congestion avoidance algorithms, as well as the modifications to the fastretransmit and fast recovery. We used the OPNET Network Model as our methodology. The TCPperformance on the network was modeled, first without background traffic and then withbackground traffic. We compared these algorithms using the same network model todeterministically check several scenarios; and simulations were conducted to ascertain thedifferences between the congestion control algorithms studied and OPNET’s software. Theresults gotten showed that using different algorithms, traffic could actually be fine tuned in thenetwork being modeled so as to achieve higher Performance. The adjustments were done in theOPNET simulator
