This paper proposes a new scheme for the primary path switching of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) based on the throughput estimation. The SCTP supports the multihoming feature that enables an SCTP host to use more than one IP addresses and select the path to transport the data packets among more than one path. This paper suggests a new mechanism to determine when to switch the primary path.
