Opportunistic networks have attracted attention due to their inherent
characteristics, such as long latency, low data rate, and
intermittent connectivity. Extensive research has been conducted on
opportunistic networks, including the architecture, and routing.
However, few in the literature report the performance of TCP in
opportunistic networks, especially in the case of Epidemic Routing.
This document investigates the performance of TCP [1] in
opportunistic networks with Epidemic Routing. Our results show that
the Epidemic Routing in opportunistic networks degrades the
performance of TCP because multicopy data packets cause duplicate
ACKs, and in turn reduce the transmission rate of TCP. An enhanced
congestion control for TCP, named A-TCP/Reno is proposed. A-TCP/Reno
avoids the duplicate ACK problem caused by Epidemic Routing.
