ABSTRACT
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) wad designed to provide reliable end-to-end delivery of data over unreliable networks. In practice most TCP deployments have been carefully designed in the context of wired networks. Ignoring the properties of wireless Ad hoc Network can lead to TCP implementations with poor performance. In order to adapt TCP to Ad hoc environment, improvements have been proposed in the literature to help TCP to differentiate between the different type of losses indeed, in mobile or static Ad hoc networks losses are not always due to network congestion as it is mostly the in wired networks. In this report, we present an overview of this issue an a detailed discussion of major factor involved. In particular, we show how TCP can be affected by mobility and lower layers protocols. In addition, we survey the main proposals which aim at adapting TCP to mobile and static Ad hoc environments.
