... of TCP was designed to be used in networks with high Bit Error Rates (BERs), and it will not work well in wireless environment, where losses are due to high BERs. Besides, because IP relies on end-to-end data verification, it is unsuitable for wireless links. TCP/IP has not the ability to handle the delay that occurs when performing transmission to and from the satellite. This is also due to the time delay of the physical link. IP Throughput As already has been mentioned, IP's job is to perform end-to-end data verification, which means providing a protocol to join various networks together enable data exchange. IP datagrams will be moved by routers among the different media and their encapsulations. The information about the path to the right destination will be found in the IP datagram itself. But IP's service is unreliable, since it may loose data, deliver data with errors or duplicate ...
