End-to-End Protocols (2)

• Advantages
  
  
  • Maintains end-to-end semantics of TCP
    
    
  • Introduces no extra overhead at base stations for protocol processing or handoff
    
    
• Disadvantages
  
  
  • Requires modified TCP
    
    
  • May not operate efficiently, e.g., for packet reordering versus packet loss
