Abstract
We consider the impact of system-related overheads on the performance of two reliable transport protocols (TCP and XCP) over wireless links. Our measurement results indicate that various components providing networking support at a wireless host collectively have significant impact on transport layer performance. Furthermore, the relative performance of protocols is dependent on the host´s network subsystem configuration. These results highlight the importance of considering system-dependent behaviors in wireless network protocol evaluations
