The robustness of TCP has contributed to its success in the Internet environment. The role of communications is already well-established in the office environment. With the advent of cheap, affordable broadband communications and the increasing complexity of consumer goods, it seems natural to extend the network into homes. In-home networking means a high-speed communication among the digital appliances within a home. Introduction of applications over high-speed home networks using the TCP/IP protocol is increasing. The integrated environment of Internet and home network is demanding as well. We have validated a TCP model over a high-speed home network environment, investigated the throughput behavior of TCP over IEEE 1394 home networks, and evaluated a potential solution for high performance of TCP over IEEE 1394 home networks. The simulation model has produced several interesting results in the performance of TCP over IEEE 1394 home networks.
