Mobile ad hoc networks have gained more and moreresearch attentions by provisions of wirelesscommunications without location limitations and pre-builtfixed infrastructure.Because of the absence of any staticsupport structure, ad hoc networks are prone to link failure.This has become the most serious cause of throughputdegradations when using TCP over ad hoc networks.Someresearches chose Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) as therouting protocol and showed that disabling the assigningof a route directly from cache gives better performance.Inthis paper, we introduce an efficient cache managementmechanism to increase the TCP throughput by replyingwith a route directly from the cache of DSR and performthe cache recovery when a host failure has occurred.Weuse simulations to compare the performance of ouralgorithm with the original DSR under the link failureprone environment due to mobility.We also provide thesimulation results when host failures are considered in thead hoc networks.
