Abstract—The development of applications, such as online
video streaming, collaborative writing, VoIP, text and video
messengers is increasing. The number of such TCP-based ap
plications is increasing due to the increasing availability of the
Internet. The TCP protocol, works at the 4th layer of the
Internet model and provides many services such as congestion
control, reliable communication, error detection and correction.
Many new protocols have been proposed such as stream control
transmission protocol (SCTP) with more features compared to
the TCP. However, due to the wide deployment, TCP is still the
most widely used. TCP creates the segments and transmit to the
receiver. In order to prevent the errors TCP saves the segments
into the sender buffer. Similarly, the data is also saved at the
receiver buffer before its transmission to the application layer.
The selection of TCP sender and receiver buffer may be varied. It
is very important because many applications work on the smart
phones that are equipped with a small amount of memory. In
many applications such as online video streaming, some errors
are possible and it is not necessary to retransmit the data. In such
case, a small buffer is useful. However, on text transmission the
complete reassembly of message is required by the TCP before
transmission to the application layer. In such case, the large buffer
size is useful that also minimizes the buffer blocking problem of
TCP. This paper provides a detailed study on the impact of TCP
buffer size on smart-phone applications. A simple scenario is
proposed in NS2 simulator for the experimentation.
