Improving TCP Performance Over Mobile AdHoc Networks With Out-of-Order Detection and Response
Overview In a Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork (MANET), temporary link failures and route changes happen frequently. With the assumption that all packet losses are due to congestion, TCP performs poorly in such environment. While there has been some research on improving TCP performance over MANET, most of them require feedback from the network or the lower layer. This paper explores a new approach to improve TCP performance by detecting and responding to out-of-order packet delivery events, which are the results of frequent route changes. In the simulation study discussed in this paper, this approach had achieved on average 50% performance improvement, without requiring feedback from the network or the lower layer.
