Key Performance Indicators of major TCP Routing Protocols Deployed in MANETs

Abstract Mobile Ad-Hoc networks have fascinated lately as the means of provision of connectivity of the continuous network to mobile computing device irrespective of the corporeal location. Recent studies primarily focused over the routing protocols that are required in this very environment. In the research analysis, the effects of the link breakage will be analyzed because of the impact mobility has on the performance of TCP. Via simulation, it will be demonstrated that the output of the TCP drops significantly in the course of movement of the nodes. It can be due to various reasons, such as the difference amongst the congestion and link failure. The analysis various types of protocols will be presented on the basis of the path asymmetry, high bit error, route failure, network partition, TCP Congestion window size, energy constraint, intra-flow and inter-flow contention, multipath routing, and interaction between TCP and Media Access Control (MAC).
