Zone-based fairness control in multi-channel multi-rate high-speed networks
Jeom Goo Kim, Hyuncheol Kim · 2009
SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a general-purpose transport protocol for IP network data communications. Due to its attractive features such as multi-streaming and multi-homing, SCTP has received much attention from the various network communities. This paper introduces the main features of SCTP, and presents a zone-based fairness control scheme that includes SCTP multi-streaming to solve performance problems and evaluates its performance. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated using an OPNET simulator. Proposed zone-based fairness control scheme overcomes existing problems in the traditional SCTP when a multi-streaming feature is used.
