摘要
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was originally designed for wired networks. Many compatibility problems exist when it is applied to wireless environments, and hence it needs to undergo modifications. Currently, there are several TCP performance enhancement techniques for application of TCP in wireless environments, but all of them conflict with IPsec. This paper not only analyzes these conflicts, but also proposes 4 solutions: replacing IPsec with Transport Layer Security/Secure Socket Layer (TLS/SSL) protocol, adopting the extended Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol, segmenting the TCP route, and modifying the end-to-end protection mode of IPsec. It also presents their strengths and weaknesses.
