Abstract

We present our results on performance analysis of the Trickles protocol which is a transport-layer protocol of TCP/IP architecture. Our approach relies on the original model of the protocol which have been made for ns-2 simulator. We create a model of the network and measure performance metrics for the Trickles protocol and standard variants of the TCP protocol.
