The focus of this study is to evaluate the performance and analysis of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) implementation in various operating systems. In this global and competitive era different operating system and emerging efficient protocols have been evolved. Moreover, recent trend towards the use of different devices to access internet resources has forced different operating systems to implement energy efficient TCP. As TCP is a connection-oriented protocol and mostly involves in high concert networking issues in the end hosts and operating systems. For this proposed study, various operating systems have been used and considered several parameters such as throughput and round trip time. The results of this study point out that the latest client Microsoft operating system could not fetch convincing enhancements in performance of network compared with its antecedent Windows. However, the latest Windows Server OS and Open Source (Linux) operating systems have much higher network performance than its predecessor. This work can help understand what TCP implementations are best to choose from and whether that the choice we suggest depends on certain parameters or limitations.
