Performance of TCP and the concept of heterogeneity in the future communication network

Abstract

TCP is an end to end transmission control protocol was originally tuned for wired network. As the random packet loss due to bit error is not negligible in wireless network, it causes a sever performance degradation of TCP under wireless environment. In the paper TCP is exclusively studied. Here in the paper a heterogeneous network have been considered. Challenges of TCP in such network have been well emphasized in the paper. Different versions of TCP have been explained and compared on the basis of simulation results
