• Advantages:

  • no changes in FH
  • connection in wireless links can be optimized
  • faster recovery due to smaller RTT
  • hide wireless losses, no congestion control at the sender

• Disadvantages:

  • lost TCP’s end-to-end semantics
  • high latency on BS due to overhead of two connections
  • buffer required for every connection, higher handoff latency
