A Study of SCTP Services in a Mobile-IP Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recently standardized transport protocol SCTP and the Mobile IP standard for IPv4 are examined. Both these protocols have been suggested as offering some additional functionality to mobile users over and above that which is currently available from TCP/IP. Here, the interaction of these two new protocols is investigated through the examination of traffic flows through a number of network topologies. The results seem to suggest that although these protocols do work together, they do not currently provide all the functionality that a mobile user might desire. In particular, some limitations caused by implementations are highlighted that could be remedied by small modifications without the need to change either standard specification.

Mobile SCTP Transport Layer Mobility Management for the Internet
Transport layer mobility management is proposed as an alternative to network layer methods like Mobile IP for realising seamless mobility in the Internet. Mobility management in the transport layer is purely accomplished by use of SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) and some of its currently proposed extensions. With Mobile SCTP seamless hand over even crossing physical, link and networ...
متن کاملMobile SCTP for IP Mobility Support in All-IP Networks
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport protocol that is featured multi-streaming and multi-homing. Until now, the two approaches have been considered for IP mobility management: Mobile IP in the network layer and SIP in the application layer scheme. In this paper, we discuss the use of SCTP for IP mobility support in the transport layer. We provide a framework of the...

متن کاملImproving End-to-End Throughput of Mobile IP using SCTP
Mobile IP is the IETF-proposed standard to offer seamless mobile computing. A new transport layer protocol, called Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), has recently been accepted by IETF as a proposed standard to address a number of TCP limitations. Most of the previous research on end-to-end throughput over Mobile IP has been carried out on TCP-Reno. Both TCP and SCTP can use Selective...
