Performance Comparison: v2rayn TCP vs KCP Protocol
In network communication, choosing the right protocol is crucial for performance. In this paper, we will take an in-depth look at the performance comparison of two protocols, TCP and KCP, in v2rayn.
TCP protocol
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable, connection-oriented protocol that is widely used for Internet communication. It establishes a connection through three handshakes to ensure reliable data transmission, but performance bottlenecks may occur in network environments with high latency or high packet loss rates.
KCP protocol
KCP is a fast and reliable ARQ protocol designed for weak network environments. It excels in networks with high packet loss rates and provides better performance through customized fast retransmission algorithms and congestion control mechanisms.
Through actual testing and research, we find that the KCP protocol has better performance compared with TCP in network environments with high latency and high packet loss. Specific data and statistical results can be found in the related research literature.
In summary, depending on the network environment, choosing the right protocol is crucial for performance optimization. In weak network environments, KCP may be a better choice, while in general network environments, TCP is still a reliable choice.
