Abstract
Three issues concerning TCP in a tactical internet are addressed. They are TCP connection procedure, TCP parameter optimization and its performance comparison with UDP. Extensive OPNET simulations with various net models and scenarios were performed. The results showed that initial retransmission timeout is a critical parameter and UDP with SAR (segmentation and reassembly) outperforms TCP. A TCP connection procedure that is suitable to set up any number of connections based upon the need is also discussed
