Abstract

Various communication protocols can be used simultaneously in a networking environment. This paper address the question that how much bandwidth is used by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) when they share the same link in transport layer and which protocol consumes more bandwidth than the other. A set of simple experiments has been conducted to find the effect of constant bit rate UDP traffic on adaptive TCP and vice versa. For that, four types of TCP which are TCP Tahoe, TCP Reno, TCP NewReno and TCP Vegas are used with UDP in variable bandwidth environment. From there, we are going to differentiate them in terms of bandwidth usage and define how it works and describes several effects that occurred when they work together.
