SCTP Congestion Window Overgrowth During Changeover
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unlike TCP, the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) supports IP multihoming at the transport layer. SCTP allows an association to span multiple local and peer IP addresses, and allows the application to dynamically change the primary destination during an active association. We present a problem in the current SCTP (RFC2960) specification that results in unnecessary retransmissions and ”TCP-unfriendly” growth of the sender’s congestion window during certain changeover conditions. The problem is presented in a specific case, and an algorithm we name the Rhein algorithm is proposed and analyzed as a possible solution.

Making SCTP More Robust to Changeover
We present a problem in the current SCTP (RFC2960) specification that results in unnecessary retransmissions and “TCP-unfriendly” growth of the sender’s congestion window during certain changeover conditions. We first illustrate the problem using an example scenario. To gain insight into the ambient conditions under which cwnd overgrowth can be observed, we present an analytical model of this p...
متن کاملSCTP and TCP Variants: Congestion Control Under Multiple Losses
We characterize an inefficiency in the current specification of SCTP’s congestion control, which degrades performance (more than necessary to be “TCP-friendly”) when there are multiple packet losses in a single window. We present an SCTP variant, called New-Reno SCTP, which introduces three modifications. First, a Fast Recovery mechanism, similar to that of New-Reno TCP, is included to avoid mu...
متن کاملAn Adaptive SCTP Congestion Control Scheme Based on Receiver Available Bandwidth Estimation
Streaming control transmission protocol (SCTP) is one kind of new generation transport layer protocol, is a little modification form TCP. Like TCP, the congestion control mechanism of current SCTP relies on packet loss as an indicator of network congestion. When congestion been detected the sender will reduce congestion window size to half to avoid congestion. In wire/wireless network environme...
متن کاملSCTP Congestion Control: Initial Simulation Studies
This paper uses simulation studies to explore the behaviour of SCTP congestion control. Several possible variants of SCTP congestion control are identified and each is compared with the behaviour of Reno TCP, a well-known TCP variant. We identify three flaws in the current SCTP congestion control mechanisms. 1. Efficient recovery after a packet loss is only possible if SCTP generates the option...
متن کاملSctp Congestion Control Performance in Wireless Multi-hop Networks*
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is originally designed for signaling transport over IP-based networks in the Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) group of IETF and it has the potential to be an alternative transport protocol that may be better able to satisfy the requirements of future battlefield network than traditional protocols, TCP and UDP. SCTP performance over IEEE 802.11 is being e...
