Abstract
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.
