Abstract

This study explores how QUIC and TCP manage network congestion and handle packet loss. Examining TCP's slow start, congestion avoidance, and loss detection, it compares them with QUIC's Cubic algorithm and proactive retransmission. Through meticulous experiments, we assess the performance of TCP and QUIC, revealing insights into their adaptability to dynamic network conditions. Challenges encountered inform potential improvements for both protocols, offering valuable insights for network optimization.
