초록

SCTP(Stream Control Transmission Protocol) 프로토콜의 '멀티홈잉(multi-homing)' 특성을 통해 SCTP 응용은 두 개 이상의 IP 주소를 통해 데이터를 전송할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스 기반 테스트베드 환경에서 SCTP 멀티홈잉 특성이 처리율 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 실험을 위해 MSTNET 에뮬레이터를 활용하여 다양한 패킷손실율, 링크대역폭, 및 전송지연 환경을 구성하여 SCTP 처리율을 비교 분석 하였다. 실험 결과, 패킷 손실이 존재하는 망 환경에서 SCTP 멀티흠잉은 단일홈잉 경우에 비해 높은 성능을 보이며, 이는 SCTP 멀티홈잉에서 대체경로 재전송에 의한 효과로 볼 수 있다. 반면에, 링크대역폭 및 전송지연 요소는 상대적으로 SCTP 처리율 성능에 미치는 효과가 미미하였다.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) provides the multi-homing feature, which allows each SCTP endpoint to use two or more IP addresses for data transmission. In this paper, the SCTP multi-homing feature is experimented and analyzed in terms of throughput over Linux platforms based on the NISTNET network emulator. We perform the experimental analysis of SCTP throughputs by SCTP multi-homing for the various network conditions: different packet loss rates, network bandwidths, and transmission delays. From the experimental results, it is shown that the SCTP multi-homing gives much better throughout gun over the SCTP single-homing case in the networks with a high packet loss rate. In the meantime, the other factors including network bandwidth and transmission delay do not seem to give a significant impact on the performance of the SCTP multi-homing.
