Proactive Calculation of K-Shortest Paths for Improving Performance of TCP in Ad-hoc Networks

The most dominant protocol in the Internet used is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Most network application uses this protocol. The aim of this paper is to design TCP in such a way that it present end to end semantic for ad-hoc network. We will study TCP in such a way that how its design component will relate to the characteristics of ad-hoc network. Then we will deal with the different approaches to improve the performance of TCP protocol in ad-hoc network. We will present three approaches for improving performance. Then we will consider a solution to improve the performance by some proactive measures which will belong to one of the classes of the three approaches
