Studying The Performance Of Wireless Mesh Networks Using The Hxh Transport Control Protocol, Timothy Scott Larsen
Studying The Performance Of Wireless Mesh Networks Using The Hxh Transport Control Protocol, Timothy Scott Larsen
Theses and Dissertations
As the need to remain connected increases, more and more people are turning to wireless mesh networks because they reduce the need for network infrastructure. Unfortunately, TCP does not perform well in such networks. HxH, an alternate protocol, has shown great promise in simulations, but since it relies on exploiting passive feedback, real measurements are needed to determine how effective the protocol really is. This thesis uses a measurement study on a wireless mesh network to characterize the performance of the HxH protocol in real-world networks. Several aspects of the HxH protocol do in fact perform well on real networks, …
