In this paper we evaluate the performance of the new algorithm of the TCP protocol for a long distance wireless link in the Galapagos Islands. In order to achieve this goal, it has been started from a study of different standards and tools for this project, besides of the amendments to the TCP protocol for wireless environments. Finally, the network was implemented and preceded to inject traffic to evaluate the performance of the TCP protocol. The results showed that the modified TCP protocol with a window of 15 is more appropriate, however, it was noted the need to optimize the sensing mechanism of the error type to improve wireless TCP performance by using cross layer design. With the intention of optimizing the TCP performance, we have mathematically modeled the RTT value that should be used to calculate the appropriate RTO.
