Model Name: OPNET M-TCP model

Opnet Modeler version: 11.0 PL1 Release date 2004-12-08
Opnet Model Library: 11.0 Release date 2004-12-01

The OPNET model implements M-TCP, a TCP variant proposed by K. Brown and 
S. Singh. M-TCP was designed to perform well in the presence of frequent and 
lengthy disconnections in mobile cellular networks. Such networks are 
characterized by low bit-rate wireless links subject to dynamically changing 
bandwidth. The model is employed to evaluate and compare the performance of 
TCP Reno and M-TCP with and without disconnections.	 

The OPNET M-TCP model contains a network architecture consisting of a fixed 
host (FH), a supervisor host (SH), and mobile host (MH). The FH is connected 
to the SH via a full duplex wired 10Mb/s Ethernet link while the MH is 
connected to the SH through an IEEE 802.11 11Mb/s wireless link. The OPNET 
M-TCP model includes an M-TCP process as a transport protocol in the SH, 
which is modeled using the OPNET WLAN Ethernet advanced router. It handles 
the routing and transport protocol adaptation for the mobile users.
