The stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) will play an important role in the next generation of the Internet. Up to now, there are no literatures about differentiated services for SCTP associations. Regarding the throughput as SCTP criteria to support differentiated services, the differentiated services between SCTP associations can be obtained by introducing the weighted factor to a or b for AIMD(a,b)-based SCTP congestion control. Theoretic analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve well proportional differentiated services for SCTP associations with few additional overheads, and it is easy to regulate the fluctuation of data sending rate or SCTP response to networks.
