Drawbacks of I-TCP

Question

Write down the drawbacks of the I-TCP.

Answer 1

Disadvantages of I-TCP are as follows:

a) The loss of end to end semantics of TCP results in the problems in case the foreign agent portioning the TCP connection crashes.

b) An increased handover latency causes the practical use problematic.

c) The foreign agent should be a trusted entity since the TCP connections end at this point.
