Abstract:TCP is a connection oriented and reliable protocol of transport layer. TCP receiver generates one acknowledgment denoted as ACK for each data packet that received to acknowledges the sender. If the data packet and ACK uses the same path, then there may be collision between them due to channel contention. Finally TCP throughput is reduced due to huge ACK packet generation. TCP performance is very poor due to wireless channel characteristics. Since the packet loss is always related to path length, choosing appro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
