A survey on tcp performance in ad hoc wireless networks

Routing means the movement of data from source node to destination node within the connected network. At transport layer, Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is needed for Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) as it is used widely in the current and future Internet. TCP has been smoothly integrated with the fixed Internet. To enhance the performance, TCP has been improvised as TCP-F or Feedback based TCP, Ad hoc TCP, Split TCP and TCP-ELFN. These method help to increase the throughput reduce the round trip delay time and improve performance. As the overall delay will be reduced so TCP-F is expected to perform better than the basic TCP.
