Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the performance of TCP of various (single-hop and multi-hop) routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. Using ns-2, we evaluate the TCP window size, throughput and packet delay over a single TCP connection. Our results suggest that these metrics are tightly related, and that TCP performance is tightly coupled with the stability and length of the routing path of each routing protocol.
