Transmission control protocol is a connection oriented and reliable transport layer protocol. Initially TCP was mainly used for in wired networks but due to its efficiency was adopted initially for wireless and subsequently for Ad-Hoc Networks as well. Since TCP was originally designed to be meant for Wired Networks, it faced severe performance degradation when deployed in the wireless world. The reason for those performance failures included causes and effects such as route failures, channel losses and channel contention issues. This review is all about TCP working process with challenges of deploying TCP over wireless ad-hoc networks such as route failure and network partition, hidden and visible node problem, cross layer technique and improved inter layer communication. Finally, based on deriving best practices from the past works, authors have recommended for their own improvisation that is expected to address these limitations.

 Abstract: Reuse of existing deteriorated bituminous pavement material in construction and maintenance of flexible pavement is called recycling of bituminous pavement. Removed and reprocessed deteriorated pavement material which is recycled is termed as Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). In India during construction of flexible pavement different types of bituminous layers are in practice depending upon CBR of sub-grade and traffic count i.e. CVPD of the road stretch. Depending upon types of bituminous layer i.e. PC Seal Coat, Bituminous Macadam(BM), Dense grade bituminous Macadam (DBM), Semi Dense Bituminous Concrete (SDBC) or Bituminous Concrete(BC) Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement can classified in different groups These classified RAP groups materials will have different characteristics i.e. Rap aggregates and Recovered bitumen of different group of RAP will have different characteristics. In this study characterization of RAP limited to Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) and Aggregate Abra...

Lately, the concept of VANETs (Vehicular Ad hoc Networks) has gotten a huge attention as more wireless communication technologies becoming available. Such networkis expected to be one of the most valuable technology for improving efficiency and safety of the future transportation. Vehicular networks are characterized by high mobility nodes which pose many communication challenging problems. In vehicular networks, routing Collision Avoidance Messages (CAMs) among vehicles is a key communication problem.Failure in routing CAMs to their intended destination within the time constraint can render these messages useless. Many
routing protocols have been adapted for VANETs, such as DSDV (Destination Sequenced Distance Vector), AODV (Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector), and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing). This work compares the performance of those routing protocols at different driving environments and scenarios created by using the mobility generator (VanetMobiSim) and network simulator(NS2). The obtained results at different vehicular densities, speeds, road obstacles, lanes, traffic lights, and transmission ranges showed that on average AODV protocol outperforms DSR and DSDV protocols in packet delivery ratio and end-toend delay. However,
at certain circumstances (e.g., at shorter transmission ranges) DSR tends to have better performance than AODV and DSDV protocols.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a promising architecture for the future Internet that focuses on content rather
than IP addresses. By leveraging named-data instead of named-hosts, ICN does not need the set up and maintenance
of stable paths between end-nodes. This makes ICN particularly convenient in networks characterized by intermittent
connectivity and hostile propagation conditions, such as wireless multihop networks like ad hoc and mesh networks.
In this paper, we present an information-centric architecture for IEEE 802.11 wireless ad hoc networks, named
E-CHANET, which performs routing, forwarding and reliable transport functions, speciﬁcally tailored to cope with
the limitations and requirements of wireless distributed environments. E-CHANET performance is evaluated through
simulations and a comparison with the legacy TCP/IP architecture and the basic CCN model is provided. Achieved
results demonstrate the eﬀectiveness of the proposed solution in mobile wireless environments.

— Trust is an important computing networks concept and remains an issue not just in social platforms but also in networks in the deliverance of Quality of service (QoS). Video Streaming has, over the years gained prominence in mobile and vehicular ad hoc networks. However, it is faced with several challenges of being vulnerable to different attacks and poor QoS. Therefore, this paper proposed a robust and efficient trust management framework in an effort to eliminate the poor QoS due to network detriments caused by the dynamic topology of a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). The proposed trust framework in the network is aimed to assist in node accountability and QoS attainment. That is, it does not remove the dynamic topology issue but it strives to attain nodes' trustworthiness and excellent QoS despite the conditions set out against the network. The proposed trust framework is the application-centric trust management framework with distributed trust computations (AppTrusFram). It merges the concept of trust together with QoS in an application scenario. The paper present a theoretical-design solution to the topology related issues and discussed issues found in other proposed solutions.

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), links are created and destroyed in an unpredictable way, which makes quite challenging the determination of routes between each pair of nodes. In this paper, we propose a formulation of the routing problem in multi-services MANETs, as well as the implementation of an adaptation of the dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol.

Traditionally, mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and hybrid optical-wireless networks, also known as fiber-wireless (FiWi), have been considered disjointly and independently, with no synergic management solutions. The former has primarily focused on dispatching packets among mobile nodes in infrastructure-less and very dynamic environments, the latter on offering high-bandwidth and low-latency access to cellular-equipped mobile nodes. The recent advancements and penetration of software-defined networking (SDN) techniques have stimulated the adoption of SDN-based flexible monitoring and control also for the MANET and FiWi domains. In this perspective, the paper originally proposes a model and an architecture that loosely federate MANET and FiWi domains based on the interaction of MANET and FiWi controllers: the primary idea is that our MANET and FiWi federated controllers can seldom exchange monitoring data and control hints the one with the other, thus mutually enhancing their capability of packet management over hybrid FiWi-MANET networks. Our model is applied to several relevant use cases to practically point out the benefits of the proposal in terms of both load balancing and fairness improvements.

Mobile Ad hoc Networks(MANETs) consists of mobile nodes that are interconnected by wireless network interfaces to create a temporary network, each node among the MANET works as a host as well as a router while receiving data nodes help other nodes to forward packets. The wireless nature of the communication makes these networks susceptible to various kinds of security threats. Since these networks lack any central authority, so any intruder can steal the information from the network. Black hole is one such attack which intends to claim shortest path to the destination and then drops the data packets received by it. This paper presents the technique to detect the black hole attack but also in an energy efficient way. The proposed scheme has been compared on the basis of the remaining energy, throughput as well as packet delivery ratio. These parameters have showed an improvement over the existing scheme.

MANET is infrastructure-less, lacks centralized monitoring and has dynamic changing network topology. The high usage of MANET demands more security and confidentiality and integrity of the data communicated through network. Security has turned out to be a major concern so as to provide non-endangered communication between mobile nodes in an unfriendly environment of MANET, which poses a number of trivial challenges to security design. The wormhole attack is one of the most threatening and hazardous attacks. In this paper we have classified the well-known countermeasures against wormhole attack in the network according to detection and prevention techniques based on hop counts and delay, protocol modification, trust and reputation. The projected technique to be used for detection of wormhole attack using trust based mechanism, neighbor monitoring concept and credits based mechanism will help to detect and isolate the malicious nodes hence enabling the formation of trusted network.

ABSTRACT: Ad-hoc network can be defined as a collection of mobile nodes which makes a temporary
network secure routing in the field of MANET is one of the most emerging areas of research. Blackhole
attack is one of the well-known security threats in wireless MANETS. Blackhole attack[1] in MANETS is
an attack mainly occurs due to the malicious node, which attacks the data packets from the source node by
falsely advertising that it is nearest path to the destination node. This paper gives the analysis of black hole
attacks in MANET’s.

—Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) represents a system of mobile nodes that can self-organize freely and connect themselves by wireless links deprived of a common infrastructure. MANET routing protocols can be categorized into reactive, proactive and hybrid routing protocols. Recently, numerous researchers have conducted studies that compare performance of routing protocols that fall in these categories under varying conditions and constraints. However, most of the studies have concentrated on the comparison between reactive and proactive routing protocols. This study is subjected to performance comparison between reactive routing protocols (represented by Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector-AODV) and hybrid routing protocols (represented by AntHocNet) under four different mobility models. The metrics used are Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and End-to-End Delay (EED) under ns-2 simulation environment. The study found that AntHocNet provides better PDR and is more fault tolerant than the traditional single path AODV. The study suggests that, apart from the pheromone values, other quality of service matrices viz. energy, queuing delay, and mobility can be tested in future studies.

Ad-hoc network are autonomous network that do not rely on a pre-defined infrastructure and can be set up anywhere at any
time. In ad hoc network each node individually acts as a mobile router and communicates to each other to send and receive packets.
Wireless ad-hoc network is group of mobile nodes that communicates over a common wireless channel. Each node follows a routing
algorithm to route the packets from a source to desired destination. Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is infrastructure less collection of
mobile nodes that is connected through a wireless medium forming speedily changing topologies. Due to rapid deployment, the MANET has
attracted the researchers. The researchers have proposed various routing protocols for MANET. This paper discusses these broad ranges of MANET routing protocols. Further the paper reviewed the comparison among existing protocols on the basis of some selected performance
metrics such as scalability, overhead, reliability etc.

Because of lack of infrastructure and Central Authority(CA), secure communication is a challenging job in MANETs. A lightweight security solution is needed in MANET to balance its nodes resource tightness and mobility feature. The role of CA should be decentralized in MANET because the network is managed by the nodes themselves without any fixed infrastructure and centralized authority. In this paper, we created a distributed PUblic Key Infrastructure (PKI) using Shamir secret sharing mechanism which allows the nodes of the MANET to have a share of its private key. The traditional PKI protocols require centralized authority and heavy computing power to manage public and private keys, thus making them not suitable for MANETs. To establish a secure communication for the MANET nodes, we proposed a lightweight crypto protocol which requires limited resources, making it suitable for MANETs.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that can be established instantly without any help of fixed infrastructure and centralized monitoring. In this scenario, designing an efficient and secure routing protocol has been a major challenge over the last many years. In this paper, we study impact of RREQ flood attack of our proposed Neighbour Defence Technique for AODV (NDTAODV) with the existing Secure Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (SAODV) and Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol by varying network size in MANETs with respect to four major performance metrics i.e. Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF), Average Throughput (AT), End-to-End Delay (AED) and Normalized Routing Load (NRL). Simulation results show that the NDTAODV gives better security and outperform the AODV in all performance metrics and also found nearly same result as that of SAODV with minimised AED and improved NRL without using any complex cryptography processing on the mobile node in MANETs.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are more vulnerable to different attacks. Prevention methods as
cryptographic techniques alone are not sufficient to make them secure; therefore, efficient intrusion
detection must be deployed and elaborated to facilitate the identification of attacks. An Intrusion Detection
System (IDS) aims to detect malicious and selfish nodes in a network. The intrusion detection methods used
normally for wired networks can no longer adequate when adapted directly to a wireless ad-hoc network,
so existing techniques of intrusion detection have to be changed and new techniques have to be determined
to work efficiency and effectively in this new network architecture of MANETs. In this paper we give a
survey of different architectures and methods of intrusion detection systems (IDSs) for MANETs
accordingly to the recent literature.

The current communication requirements are moving quickly to mobile ad-hoc networks, mainly because of the decreasing cost of wireless networking technology and the increasing capacity to integrate into embedded devices technologies such as WiFi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, and WAVE. It is important to understand the limitation or the strength of each protocol and standard in order to make a better selection decision at the moment of implementing a specific scenario. This paper evaluates how routing protocols perform in mobile scenarios when the speed of nodes is relatively high. Our research shows that reactive routing protocols have a better packet delivery ratio (PDR) than proactive routing protocols. However, proactive routing protocols have a smaller end-to-end delay and hops count.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) composed of a collection of nodes that are linked in scattered way to
enable wireless communications. All nodes are moveable and are dynamically connected in a random manner.
MANETs could be used in numerous applications such as: military combats, WSN, in areas where it is tricky to
construct wired network. Due to changing topology of MANET, limited power of battery , and limited bandwidth of
wireless channels, it became design of routing schemes is one of the main defy in MANET. Commonly, MANETs’
routing protocols are categorized into two types: proactive routing (e.g. DSDV) and reactive routing (e.g. AODV
and DSR). A lot of studies manifested that reactive routing protocols are better than proactive protocols. As a
result, the offered article attentive with performance improvement of DSR, which is one of the most celebrated
reactive routing protocols. The original DSR is multi hop scheme in its nature, where route election between any
two communicating nodes is merely based on minimum hops count as a metric, irrespective of another metrics like
energy of nodes and traffic load of nodes, that may have passive effect on performance of the original DSR. This
essay presents novel version of original DSR, called (EELB-DSR), through modification of route discovery stage, in
such a way that minimizes energy consumption of nodes, reduces flooding of control packets and realization of
balanced traffic load of nodes, resulting in prolong life time of nodes, thence increase life time of the routes and
relative stability of network. In the suggested scheme, route selection is based on three merged metrics: nodes’
energy, traffic load of nodes and received signal strength. Performance evaluation and comparison between
proposed scheme (EELB-DSR) and original DSR has been implemented utilizing network imitator (NS2). Results
of simulation proved that performance of the proposed protocol outperform original DSR in terms of: packet
delivery ratio, end to end delay, normalized overhead and energy consumption of nodes.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. The mobility of nodes in MANETs results in frequent changes of network topology making routing in MANETs a challenging task. Routing protocols in MANET helps node to send and receive packets. Some studies have been
reported in the literature to evaluate the performance of the proposed routing algorithms. This paper evaluates the performance of reactive (DSR) routing protocols in MANETs based on Average end-to-end delay, Throughput using OPNET 14.5. The performance DSR routing protocols is evaluated with respect to throughput and end-to-end delay under different traffic load using OPNET simulator.

Actual network size depends on the application and the protocols developed for the routing for this kind of
networks should be scalable and efficient. Each routing protocol should support small as well as large
scale networks very efficiently. As the number of node increase, it increases the management functionality
of the network. Graph theoretic approach traditionally was applied to networks where nodes are static or
fixed. In this paper, we have applied the graph theoretic routing to MANET where nodes are mobile. Here,
we designed all identical nodes in the cluster except the cluster head and this criterion reduces the
management burden on the network. Each cluster supports a few nodes with a cluster head. The intracluster
connectivity amongst the nodes within the cluster is supported by multi-hop connectivity to ensure
handling mobility in such a way that no service disruption can occur. The inter-cluster connectivity is also
achieved by multi-hop connectivity. However, for inter-cluster communications, only cluster heads are
connected. This paper demonstrates graph theoretic approach produces an optimum multi-hop connectivity
path based on cumulative minimum degree that minimizes the contention and scheduling delay end-toend.
It is applied to both intra-cluster communications as well as inter-cluster communications. The
performance shows that having a multi-hop connectivity for intra-cluster communications is more power
efficient compared to broadcast of information with maximum power coverage. We also showed the total
number of required intermediate nodes in the transmission from source to destination. However, dynamic
behavior of the nodes requires greater understanding of the node degree and mobility at each instance of
time in order to maintain end-to-end QoS for multi-service provisioning. Our simulation results show that
the proposed graph theoretic routing approach will reduce the overall delay and improves the physical
layer data frame transmission.

Routing in ad-hoc networks is a big issue and challenge. AODV is most popular on demand routing protocol which is applicable in mostly all wireless ad-hoc networks. We here AODV routing protocol is analysed in wireless ad-hoc networks. Grid based topology has been used. Based on transmission rate and pause times, AODV is evaluated. Several routing parameters like throughput, dropped packets and average delay have been used for evaluation purposes. We have analysed AODV in several aspects at different network scenarios.

Opportunistic Networks an emerging research area that encompasses Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) and a subset of Delay Tolerant Network (DTNs). In such networks one of the most dynamic and challenging tasks is to detect congestion timely and effectively. Congestion both at link and node level can occur due to Irregular Connectivity, Long and Variable Length Delays, and Heterogeneous Networks Infrastructure. Intermediate nodes between source and destination are seems to be critical for detecting a congestion issue as they have to store data in their respective buffer until a next best forwarding opportunistic node is found. The prime objective of our research is to evaluate different congestion handling techniques that addressed issues of storage/node level congestion in opportunistic networks. Consequently it may help to detect congestion issue at node level in a Pre-active manner rather than pro-active manner.

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a distributed, infrastructure-less and decentralized network. A routing protocol in MANET is used to find routes between mobile nodes to facilitate communication within the network. Numerous routing protocols have been proposed for MANET. Those routing protocols are designed to adaptively accommodate for dynamic unpredictable changes in network's topology. The mobile nodes in MANET are often powered by limited batteries and network lifetime relies heavily on the energy consumption of nodes. In consequence, the lack of a mobile node can lead to network partitioning. In this paper we analyse, evaluate and measure the energy efficiency of three prominent MANET routing protocols namely DSR, AODV and OLSR in addition to modified protocols. These routing protocols follow the reactive and the proactive routing schemes. A discussion and comparison highlighting their particular merits and drawbacks are also presented. Evaluation study and simulations are performed using NS-2 and its accompanying tools for analysis and investigation of results.

s: Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) are used most commonly all around the world, because it has the ability to communicate each other without any fixed network. It has the tendency to take decisions on its own that is autonomous state. MANET is generally known for infrastructure less. The bridges in the network are generally known as a base station. In, this paper we simulate GRP routing Protocol, to know the network performance in the MANET.

Nowadays, the importance of Mobile Ad hoc Networks
(MANETs) is growing rapidly especially in military and business applications. It is crucial to have a more efficient initial link setup mechanism. In this work, we propose an efficient initial access authentication protocol, which realizes the authentications and key distribution through least roundtrip messages. We propose efficient initial access authentication mechanism over MANET that is more efficient than any message authentication method in the literature. The key idea behind the proposed method is to
provide efficient initial authentication as well as to provide secure message passing between Mobile user and authentication server. Furthermore, a simple and practical method is presented to make compatible with MANET.

Simulation of mobile networks requires reliable movement generation. Evaluation of the performance of the existing random movement generator used in ns2 shows a bias for placing the mobile nodes in the center of the experimental area. Applying the quadrat count and the VMR tests confirms the tendency for clustering of nodes. To remedy this problem we propose, and implement a different method for random movement generation for use with the ns2 simulator, and show that our movement generator improves the randomness of the node distribution during the simulation.

All networks must provide an acceptable and desirable level of Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure that applications are well supported. This becomes a challenge when it comes to Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). This paper presents a security framework that is QoS-aware in MANETs using a network protocol called Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR). Security & QoS targets may not necessarily be similar but this framework seeks to bridge the gap for the provision of an optimal functioning MANET. This paper presents the various security challenges, attacks, and goals in MANETs and the existing architectures or mechanisms used to combat security attacks. Additionally, this framework includes a security keying system to ascertain QoS. The keying system is linked to the basic configuration of the protocol OLSR through its Multi-point Relays (MPRs) functionality. The proposed framework is one that optimizes the use of network resources and time.

The MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) refers to a multi-hop packet based upon wireless
network that does not require any fixed infrastructure. Each node in the network act as the base station
and the packets are forwarded to the required destination. Many kinds of attack can be done on this type of
networks. In this paper we have described a method to detect the wormhole attack and to secure the path of
the packets from these types of attacks using delay per hop method. Wormhole attack is a dangerous attack
occurring in the routing protocols in the network layer. Using hop count method we isolate the node that is
the cause of the wormhole attack in the network. This method neither used the synchronized clocks nor the
special kind of hardware for detecting the wormhole. In this paper will help to pinpoint the malicious node
and to isolate that node from the network. The performance of the network is improved.

In the last years mobile networking via smart phones and mobile telephones is widely realized as an infrastructure based networking. The provider grants an affordable and stable access to the Internet, which can be used by applications in the same way as it is used on stationary computers. However, many mobile devices support a variety of communication interfaces that are suitable for ad-hoc communication. Routing in ad hoc network is a great problematic, since a good routing protocol must ensure fast and efficient packet forwarding, which isn't evident in ad hoc networks. In literature there exists lot of routing protocols however they don't include all the aspects of ad hoc networks as mobility, device and medium constraints which make these protocols not efficient for some configuration and categories of ad hoc networks. Thus in this paper I propose an improvement of Dynamic Source Routing Protocol DSR in order to include some of the aspects of ad hoc networks as mobility and energy by proposing a new metric to evaluate route based on intermediate nodes weight computed by combining the stability and the battery power of nodes to choose the most stable and powered nodes for packet forwarding.

Background:
In most reactive routing protocols, the discovery process for any dictation starts by sending a RREQ (Route request) to neighboring nodes. Then, the intermediate nodes will rebroadcast the RREQ until the destination is found.
Objective:
In this study, new techniques have been suggested to reduce the broadcast of the RREQ packets in the network, when the reactive routing protocols are used. These techniques are Closest Candidate Neighbors for Rebroadcasting the RREQ (C-CNRR) and Furthest Candidate Neighbors for Rebroadcasting the RREQ (F-CNRR).
Methodology:
The key concept behind these two routing protocols is to divide the transmission
range for each node that needs to find a path to a specific destination to four equal zones. Then, if no route is found in its routing table,
one node per zone will be smartly selected to rebroadcast the received RREQ.
Results:
The simulation results show that in term of
overhead, the C-CNRR and F-CNRR have better performance than th
e traditional ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol.
Conclusion:
Furthermore, reducing the overhead by more than 15% with our proposed techniques is reflected in an increase in the network throughput and a diminishing of data dropping.

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring network that is formed automatically via wireless links by a collection of mobile nodes without the help of a fixed infrastructure or centralized management. The mobile nodes allow communication among the nodes outside the wireless transmission range by hop to hop and the forward packets to each other. Due to dynamic infrastructure-less nature and lack of centralized monitoring points, the ad hoc networks are vulnerable to attacks. The network performance and reliability is break by attacks on ad hoc network routing protocols. AODV is a important on-demand reactive routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. There is no any security provision against a " Black Hole " and " Wormhole " attacks in existing AODV protocol. Black hole nodes are those malicious nodes that conform to forward packet to destination. But they do not forward packet intentionally to the destination node. The black hole nodes degrade the performance of network eventually by participating in the network actively. The propose watchdog mechanism detect the black hole nodes in a MANET. This method first detects a black hole attack in the network and then provide a new route to this node. In this, the performance of original AODV and modified AODV in the presence of multiple black hole nodes is find out on the basis of throughput and packet delivery ratio. In a wormhole attack, intruders tunnel the data from one end of the network to the other, leading distant network nodes to trust they are neighbors' and making them communicate through the wormhole link.

Ad-Hoc networks between vehicles are special types of mobile ad-hoc networks. VANET nodes despite MANET networks move too fast. Keeping and staying in a stable and constant route for urgent and alarming messages broadcasting from one danger area, is a very challenging task. Therefore, routing play significant role in VANETs. Network overhead decrease, preventing overcrowd incidence in the network, the traffic jam and increasing package delivery rate are the most important issues related to routing in VANET. Therefore, broadcasting and transmitting threatening alarm messages as accident prevention message and damage incidence, jam controlling messages, messages related to the road conditions and all other threatening alarm messages, on time for the endangered vehicles is of great importance. The main goal of this paper is to study routing protocol based on geographical location, so it needs Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain vehicle's location and improve decision making for data delivery. On VANET networks, for better routing, we will need network topology information to make decisions to deliver data to the next vehicle, so we can make the best decision. In this Paper, the purpose is to present one greedy routing method and executing it in a scenario as urban area. For this reason, the proposed method creation was by using the vector concept and b y using greedily transmission. which in time of selecting the next step, not only it gives importance to the distance criteria and data routing precision, but also is connected with intersections in urban areas and adds a certain mode for predicting vehicle's behaviour at intersections, which promote the routing protocol efficiency. By using the NS2 simulator, Simulation results of the proposed method, (GRUA), indicate that this method has an efficient performance and improves throughput , Packet drop , Packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay decrease.

The core of the study is to familiarize with the necessity of Ad-hoc Networks carried by Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks in effect to monitor and manage traffic hazard and the highways could be made more productive. The forefront suggestion could empower the travelers (the actual highway traffic trend-setters with VANET'S implementation). As well as they could have been informed and updated before the actual jam takes place so that more productive they become by avoiding the jams. The proposed system would contribute greatly to guard them and ensure the safe journey as well as could be unfailing help for authorities to face the emergencies forehand. Resultantly, a time saving and life guarding system can be put into effect to avoid all loses at large.

 Abstract: Transmission control protocol faces a problem of packet loss differentiation in the wireless and mobile adhoc network. Congestion control is not properly done here. It cannot manage the congestion window as per type of loss and it reduces Congestion window unnecessarily and that degrades the performance. TCP Westwood cannot identify congestion or link failure loss, and it cannot manage the congestion window as per available bandwidth. This paper discusses that TCP Westwood performs bandwidth estimation, setting up a congestion window and a slow start threshold. In mobile adhoc network, link failure may happen frequently, and it should be handled properly. Link failure can be detected with the help of retransmission timeout. Once timeout occurs Westwood performs congestion avoidance. Proposed Westwood manages three states of congestion 1) Avoidance 2) congestion and 3) No congestion, it updates congestion window and slow start threshold as per the status of network. It maintains congestion window dynamically. Network status is identified by estimated bandwidth and proportionality ratio. Proposed method is tested on NS2.35 and compared with the existing TCP variants. The proposed Westwood performs optimized link utilization and congestion control mechanism. Hence it gives significant performance for loss recovery.
