Design and implement of reliable short packet transport protocol
Changwen Zheng · Jisuanji gongcheng yu sheji · 2007
A large number of short packets need to be transmitted reliably and real-timely in some MANETs. UDP could not guarantee the reliability and lack of flow control which may cause congestion. TCP and its variations need three-way hand shake before data trans- port, which is a great waste for short packets. A reliable transport protocol is designed and implemented for short packet transport on analyzing the design problems of three-way hand shake. The short packet transfer performance is greatly improved through the avoidance of three-way hand shake, the F-RTO and a concise packet head for reducing the cost of the head.
