WTCP (2)
Advantages:
- in general, it can be effective with a sophisticated protocol
- handles packet losses by both causes
- rate-based congestion control suitable for bursty losses in wireless links
- detects congestion at the receiver, reduces effect of path asymmetry
-
Disadvantages:
- modification in both MH and FH
- computations in the receiver consume power
- congestion detection using inter-packet separation is questioned when bottleneck is not a wireless link [Stojmenovic, 2002]
- current error categorization in WTCP may have problems as reported in several studies [Stojmenovic, 2002]
