Performance of TCP/UDP Under Ad Hoc IEEE802.11
Overview TCP is the De facto standard for connection oriented transport layer protocol, while UDP is the De facto standard for transport layer protocol, which is used with real time traffic for audio and video. Although there have been many attempts to measure and analyze the performance of the TCP protocol in wireless networks, very few research was done on the UDP or the interaction between TCP and UDP traffic over the wireless link. This paper studies the performance of TCP and UDP over IEEE802.11 ad hoc network. Two topologies are used, a string and a mesh topology. This work indicates that IEEE802.11 as an ad-hoc network is not very suitable for bulk transfer using TCP. It also indicates that it is much better for real-time audio.
