This summary provides an overview of a document that reviews several algorithms aimed at improving TCP congestion control and addressing route failures in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).
The document begins with an introduction to MANETs and the issues they present for TCP, as TCP was designed for wired networks and interprets all packet losses as congestion. It then analyzes and compares five different algorithms that have been proposed to help TCP distinguish between losses due to route failures versus congestion. These algorithms aim to improve network performance metrics like throughput, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay. The document concludes that while these algorithms approach the problem of route failures and TCP performance degradation in different ways, their overall goal is the
