Transmission control protocol (TCP) is a transport protocol designed specifically for wired Internet. In wireless ad hoc network, changes in topology can occur frequently and unpredictably which leads to packet loss and delay. TCP misinterprets that condition as congestion and it reacts by reducing the transmission rate and causes the performance to degrade and lower throughput. The TCP has to be modified if to recognize the difference between packet loss due to link failure or congestion. To adapt TCP to this demanding paradigm, some modifications have been proposed. This study evaluates the performance of the proposed enhanced TCP for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) environment. The enhanced TCP is integrated with Snoop protocol and installed in every node of the system model. The system model is designed and developed using OPNET software design tool. The simulation results show the enhanced TCP produces improved performance with higher throughput and support for node mobility.
