Abstract

Nowadays Internet Mobile terminals are now all equipped with 802.11 devices. Moreover, a high and increasing number of hot spots are deployed in a variety of places, such as homes, cafes and airports. A typical mobile user uses TCP-based applications to access emails, browse the web or download files from the Internet. Thus the selfish interest for a user to have a better performing version of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
