Abstract:- TCP provides reliability to data transferring in all end-to-end data stream services on the internet. This protocol is utilized by major internet applications. TCP was originally created to handle the problem of network congestion collapse. This paper is prepared on the performance of different TCP variants to identify the best protocol variant for network expansion. In such context, a full comprehensive simulation environment is created for evaluating the comparative performance of TCP variants like TCP Tahoe, Reno, NewReno and TCP Vegas. From the results, TCP Reno is the most aggressive (least fair one), and highest amount of throughput. In the TCP NewReno it follows Reno’s step by becoming the second most aggressive (second least fair), and second highest throughput. SACK is fair to Reno and NewReno, but it is competing with Vegas, Finally TCP Vegas shows the highest degree of fairness, TCP Vegas can adapt the changing bandwidth very well and it is robust against the fluctuation
