Abstract

This paper presents experimental measurements of TCP bulk data transfer performance in a multi-hop wireless ad hoc network environment. The first part of the paper studies how TCP throughput is affected by AODV routing, user mobility, and the number of hops traversed in the network. The second part of the paper studies the effectiveness of rate-based pacing (RBP) of TCP packets in improving TCP throughput. Contrary to prior simulation results in the networking literature, our measurement results show no performance advantages for RBP TCP in our experimental scenarios.
