TCP: Error Handling With Explicit Notification Schemes

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Wireless networks widely used in Internet have high error rates. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) originally designed for wired links needs for improving its performance over wireless links. In other words congestion avoidance approach is not sufficient when packet losses in the wireless networks occur due to corruption. In this paper I describe the schemes namely Explicit Loss Notification Schemes (ELN schemes) or Explicit Transport Error Notification Schemes (ETEN schemes) that allow the transport protocol to distinguish between a loss due to congestion and a loss due to corruption in the wireless networks, yielding performance benefits.
