Abstract:
In modern high-speed networks, providing reliable and high-quality Internet services is
essential. However, maintaining consistent network performance in dynamic environments with varying
scenarios presents significant challenges. To address these, Multipath TCP (Transmission Control
Protocol) offers a viable solution by aggregating multiple network paths, resulting in improved
bandwidth utilization, higher throughput, and reduced delay. This approach overcomes the limitations of
traditional single-path TCP by enhancing responsiveness, friendliness, and reducing window oscillation.
Moreover, MPTCP incorporates congestion control mechanisms that couple several subflows, ensuring
efficient traffic distribution across multiple paths, thereby improving overall network performance and
fairness. In this paper, we analyze the performance of LIA (Linked Increases Algorithm), OLIA
(Opportunistic Linked Increases Algorithm), and BALIA (Balanced Linked Adaptation) congestion
control algorithms using the ns-3 network simulator. The results show that BALIA achieves 21\% higher
throughput compared to LIA
