A Survey of TCP Over Ad Hoc Networks
Overview The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was designed to provide reliable end-to-end delivery of data over unreliable networks. In practice, most TCP deployments have been carefully designed in the context of wired networks. Ignoring the properties of wireless Ad Hoc Networks can lead to TCP implementations with poor performance. In order to adapt TCP to Ad hoc environment, improvements have been proposed in the literature to help TCP to differentiate between the different types of losses. Indeed, in mobile or static Ad hoc networks losses are not always due to network congestion, as it is mostly the case in wired networks. This paper presents an overview of this issue and a detailed discussion of the major factors involved.
