M-TCP+: Using Disconnection Feedback to Improve Performance of TCP in Wired/Wireless Networks
Overview This paper proposes the M-TCP+ algorithm for heterogeneous wired/wireless networks. The algorithm is a modification of M-TCP that was proposed for deployment in mobile cellular networks. It is recommended that Internet hosts enable the delayed acknowledgement (delayed ACK) option to maximize network bandwidth by reducing the number of ACKs sent to a TCP sender by a TCP receiver. The M-TCP+ algorithm performs best when the TCP delayed ACK option is enabled. The algorithm relies on feedback sent from a wireless host in anticipation of disconnections. The paper compares the performance of the MTCP+ algorithm with the performance of M-TCP, TCP NewReno, and TCP SACK in both the absence and the presence of disconnections for a file transfer protocol (download) application.
