Split Connection Approach: Disadvantages
nExtra copying of data at BS
–copying
from FH-BS socket buffer to BS-MH socket buffer
–increases
end-to-end latency
nMay not be useful if data and acks traverse different
paths (both do not go through the base
station)
–Example:
data on a satellite wireless hop, acks on a dial-up channel
FH
MH
