Network mobility standard released by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which allow the deployment of TCP/IP networks onboard a vehicle and maintain continuous network connectivity to the Internet through a mobile router. It enables the passengers travelling on public transports can avail the efficient mobile computing facility on move. It is challenging task to ensure network performance due to vulnerable nature of wireless link and network mobility. In this paper, a performance analysis of onboard networks is conducted with different transport protocols. It has been shown that high bit error rate and disruptions degrade network throughput. The performance of these protocols was obtained from the ns-2 simulations. Simulations were designed to test the protocols in non-congested environments. The performance of the protocols was measured based on the throughput parameter.
