Enhanced stream control transmission protocol with access frequency control
Dongyoung Jung, Tae Yun Kwon, Kyung Tae Kim, Hee Yong Youn · 2016
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) supports multiple streams to minimize the performance degradation due to head-of-line blocking. Among several streams transmitted simultaneously, some stream may require smaller transmission time than the others. However, the current SCTP provides no facility for controlling the access frequency of respective streams. This paper proposes a new scheme allowing the control of access frequency at the receiver to improve the quality of delay sensitive service by utilizing the bandwidth of delay insensitive ones. The simulation based on NS-3 with four different types of streams shows that the performance enhancement is substantial compared to the current SCTP and existing protocols.
