Abstract—In this study, IEEE802.11s mesh networking was formulated as it expected to be widely used because of its convenience. The properties of IEEE802.11s mesh networking were investigated and the results revealed its faulty communication performance in a multi-hop network. This could be explained based on Mathis’s theory for loss-based TCP congestion control algorithm that suggests that with an increase in delay, the loss probability decreases the communication performance. Recently, Google proposed TCP Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR), both of which may tolerate a high bit error rate. This algorithm does not follow Mathis’s model. In this study, we measure the performance of TCP CUBIC and TCP BBR on a mesh network, followed by an evaluation of the properties of this mesh network.
