This type of network degrades the performance of TCP or transmission control protocol which is the core element of internet protocol. The performance of TCP can be enhanced by using various optimization techniques. This paper focuses on the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of making use of contemporary WAN optimization technologies to overcome the challenges of degrading the performance of TCP in Ad-Hoc Networks.

Keywords: Ad-Hoc Network, Transmission Control Protocol, WAN optimization, & Cloud based services. 1 INTRODUCTION Ad-hoc network refers to the local area network which is developed as soon as the various devices are connected to each other. This type of network does not rely on a base station; instead data packets are sent and received by individual network nodes [1]. However, this type of network affects the performance of TCP or transmission control protocol which is the core element for maintain communication in a network. Basically, TCP manages the transmission of data packets between the computers and allows the exchange of data between two hosts. It also assures that data is received in the same pattern in which it is sent [1, 2]. Transmission control protocol is an essential part of the internet protocol, hence it is very important to monitor its performance. However, the performance
