Abstract : The concept of digital India increasing the internet very rapidly. Each and every one try to access internet facilities but
the network service providers are fail to maintain their network availability to each and every where to everyone with the same
consistent speed. The number of users can not able to access the internet facility with same speed due to heavy traffic generated
by the lot of mobile communication devices. Due to heavy traffic the congestion occurs and data packets are dropped. The service
providers are increase their devices through high speed and large bandwidth but the protocols are remain unchanged. So in this
direction lot of research required. The appropriate reason behind the congestion and slow data speed is that the TCP congestion
control algorithms are not much efficient to control the congestion occurrence and low bandwidth at receiver end or intermediate
routers. This article focused on the review of TCP congestion control mechanism and comparative analysis of congestion control
algorithms.

I. INTRODUCTION
Over the past decades, lot of work has been already done to enhance the TCP performance and the result many different
congestion control algorithms. The number of congestion control algorithms are already developed and implemented after finding
some enhancement result over the existing congestion control algorithms[1]. The researchers comment on the heterogeneous
resource allocation to achieve the full efficiency of the devices for load balancing. The proposed load balancing algorithm
compared with others to check their credibility. The load balancing is the major problem to achieve the maximum through put and
make network congestion free but in real life load balancing applied, thereafter congestion occurs and required best approach to
resolve the congestion[2]. In this research article the authors proposed an algorithm for packet routing in wireless sensor network
to increase the performance of the WSN, in this article the focus to reducing the packet loss rate during routing, reduce energy
consumption and increased the throughput[3]. The wireless network is having more challenges to the wired network. The TCP
congestion control algorithms are successfully implemented and tested in wired computer network but TCP face some challenges
in wireless mobile communication and mobile Ad-Hoc networking. Some of the main challenges are releted to wireless mobile
communication as open network architecture, shared medium, high speed of mobile nodes, dynamic topology, limited energy,
difficulty to find misbehaving mobile device etc. [4-6]
The implementation and comparing them with other congestion control algorithms is troublesome without network
simulators. In the real world scenario, it is very difficult to compare algorithm performance on the basis of actual devices it is
possible with the simulators it is less time to consume and less expensive and given the moral as actual results. Computer
simulator provides valuable insight into potential implementation before extending the considerable effort that may be required to
build a technology simulator allow us to measure and compare the existing algorithm as well as we can introduce a new algorithm
and compare in light of existing algorithms. It provides a much more flexible way to implement a new algorithm and finding out
the related result on the basis of some existing networking topology [7]. Today network devices like smart mobile phone and
servers are very well processing capabilities and interact with multiple network interfaces due to support of different wire/wireless
technology. The TCP congestion control algorithms are classified on the traffic basis, time basis, path basis[8].
Wireless sensor networks can also be classified in two types as structured and unstructured. The structure wireless
network has deployed in a planned manner and the numbers of mobile nodes are placed in a structure. The structure wireless
network maintenance is easy and low cost applied for up gradation. In this categories the homogenous and heterogeneous network
are working perfectly. Most of the public places are having structured wireless sensor network like railway station, airport,
hospital, supermarket etc. Whereas the unstructured wireless network no topology specified, no pre-plan for deployment of
mobile nodes, hard to maintained and required higher cost to maintain. Unstructured wireless mobile network very less used it is
known as Mobile Ad-Hoc network, Vehicular Ad-Hoc network , Aircraft Ad-Hoc network etc.[9]
It is very well known that TCP (Transmission control protocol) performed very well in varied networking environments
wired or wireless or both. The TCP performance is throughput and fairness different in wired and wireless network scenario. In
wireless mobile network, TCP performance is poor than the wired TCP. To improve TCP performance in wireless network
reviewed different TCP congestion control algorithms and mitigation of congestion control.[10]
