“…Many surveys have analyzed and compared the behavior of TCP over MANET (Floyd and Fall, 1999;Blessing and Chakrabarti, 2009;Wu and Wu, 2006;Andrei and Sally, 2004;Holland and Vaidya, 1999a;Ahmed et al, 2004), some of which have been conducted to improve and enhance the performance of TCP in this dynamic environment. However, this is not sufficient in providing a complete understanding of TCP current state over MANET.…”

“…If the link layer abandons its attempts at link-level retransmission, TCP takes the loss as a congestion indicator. This misinterpretation of packet loss due to wireless channel error as congestion has badly affected TCP performance (Boukerche, 2008;Ahmed et al, 2004;Lochert et al, 2007). Therefore, there is a need for a detection mechanism to correctly interpret the loss as corruption instead of congestion (Habbal and Hassan, 2011).…”

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a fundamental protocol in the TCP/IP Protocol Suite.TCP was well designed and optimized to work over wired networks where most packet loss occurs due to network congestion. In theory, TCP should not care whether it is running over wired networks, WLANs, or Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). In practice, it does matter because most TCP deployments have been carefully designed based on the assumption that congestion is the main factor of network instability. However, MANETs have other dominating factors that cause network instability. Forgetting the impact of these factors violates some design principles of TCP congestion control and open questions for future research to address. This study aims to introduce a model that shows the impact of MANET factors on TCP congestion control. To achieve this aim, Design Research Methodology (DRM) proposed by BLESSING was used as a guide to present this model. The proposed model describes the existing situation of TCP congestion control. Furthermore, it points to the factors that are most suitable to be addressed by researchers in order to improve TCP performance. This research proposes a novel model to present the impact of MANET factors on TCP congestion control. The model is expected to serve as a benchmark for any intended improvement and enhancement of TCP congestion control over MANET.

“…[9], [10] and SWAN. Reference [9] uses ECN to improve the TCP performance in wireless networks, whereas [10] expands ECN to differentiate on the packet loss reasons and provide more network state information. In SWAN, all real-time packets, alternatively a subset of these, are marked when a congestion threshold is reached.…”

We propose and analyze an augmented DiffServ architecture for ad hoc networks. A scheme based on shadow classes and ECN is used to control the load. By including ECN we are able to regulate the admitted flows and the best-effort traffic in order to avoid congestion and improve the conditions for the prioritized traffic. Through simulations we analyze the proposed architecture, and illustrate trade-offs between utilization of the network resources and the QoS performance. By tuning the regulation mechanisms we can adapt to different network environments and performance targets.
