Abstract—The performance of TCP decreases when high bit
error rate exists over wireless link. TCP responds by mistake
to all packet losses by invoking congestion control algorithm,
resulting in degraded end-to-end performance. Several
solutions have been proposed to improve the performance of
transmission control protocol (TCP) over wireless link. In this
paper, the implementation of snoop protocol, as a TCP-aware
link level over wireless networks, and conventional TCP are
compared using wired infrastructure. All simulations were
performed using network simulator 2 (NS-2). The simulation
results focus on key performance metrics such as throughput,
congestion control, end-to-end time delay, and packet loss rate.
Index Terms—TCP, snoop protocol, wireless networks,
