Performance Metrics of Multipath State Aware Concurrent Multipath Transfer using Redundant Transfer in Stream Control Transmission Protocol Multihoming for Symmetric Paths | Science Publications

摘要

> Problem statement: In multihomed host, if data transfer starts using CMT, unaware of paths status causes delay in data transfer or packet loss due to path failure. Transmission Path (one or more paths) failures result in out-of-order data delivery causing receiver buffer blocking and preventing sender from transmitting further data. Approach: Multipath State Aware Concurrent Multipath Transfer using Redundant Transfer (MSACMT-RT), status of multipath is determined, initially and periodically before transmission. Data transfer begins immediately after determining the path status, for a particular interval of time and later transfers with CMT only for predefined period. Results: We discuss MSACMT-RT performance in symmetric paths with the constrained receiver buffer (rbuf) value of 128 and 256KB
