Performance evaluation of SCTP's multi-path transmission algorithm for real-time communications

摘要

As a consequence with wide spread of high speed Internet connections, real-time applications have been used widely. On the other hand, there appear many kinds of communication media that introduces multi-homing, which can improve the fault resilience. In order to support multi-homing, SCTP has been standardized in October 2000. However the current SCTP does not support real-time applications. In this paper, we propose SCTP's multi-path transmission algorithm to support real-time applications and improve their fault resiliency. Through evaluation, we show its effectiveness.
