Performance of TCP over Wireless Networks with the Snoop Protocol

Several attempts have been made to assess the performance of TCP over wireless networks and several solutions have been proposed to improve its performance. Even though many different TCP versions and solutions exist, so far they have not been studied together. In this paper we include a simulation-based performance analysis of the most important TCP versions over wireless networks. In addition, we analyze those TCP versions in the same environment but including the Snoop protocol and find that TCP Vegas and SACK present an opposite behavior.
