As the demand for high-performance internet applications continues to surge, the efficiency of network congestion control algorithms becomes a critical factor in ensuring a seamless user experience. This research paper delves into the comparative analysis of two prominent congestion control mechanisms: BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round- trip propagation time) and Cubic[1]. Both algorithms play pivotal roles in regulating data flow within networks, but their approaches differ significantly. The comparison section highlights the adaptive behavior of each algorithm, emphasizing real-world implications for diverse network scenarios. The discussion interprets the findings, offering a nuanced understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of both BBR and Cubic, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on congestion control strategies.
