Testing and Analyzing TCP Performance in a Wireless-Wired Mobile Ad Hoc Test Bed

Overview TCP is the most used connection-oriented transport protocol in the Internet nowadays. However, TCP has a number of problems when the connections are running over wireless links. This paper addresses some of them for mobile ad hoc networking. The authors have made a real-life testbed for experimenting and analyzing TCP connections from a multi-homed ad hoc network into the global Internet. Through a set of experiments, it shows how TCP behaves when switching gateways, and also the capture and unfairness problems of TCP. The testbed and the initial results are the first step for making an improvement to TCP for ad hoc networking.

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

The researchers found it was possible to circumvent the Chinese intrusion detection systems (IDS) by ignoring the forged TCP resets injected by the Chinese routers, which would normally force the endpoints to abandon the connection.
