Query: A Proxy Acknowledgement Mechanism for TCP Variants in Mobile Ad Hoc
  Networks   A sequence number checking technique is proposed to improve the performance
of TCP connections in mobile ad hoc networks. While a TCP connection is
initialized, a routing protocol takes the responsibility for checking the hop
count between a source and destination pair. If the hop count is greater than a
predefined value, the routing protocol decides to use a proxy node. The
responsibility of a proxy node is to check the correctness of data packets and
inform the missing packets by sending an acknowledgement from a proxy node to
the source node. By doing so, the source node is able to retransmit any missing
packet in advance without waiting until an end-to-end acknowledgement is
received from the destination. Simulation results show that the proposed
mechanism is able to increase throughput up to 55% in static network and
decrease routing overhead up to 95% in mobile network.
