“…Although the performance of IMP-SCTP declined (the rising level in jitter indicates degrading performance), IMP-SCTP was still better than ORG-SCTP. The performance degradations of the latter were evident in the following periods: 13-18 s, 61-69 s, 133-143 s, and 163-172 s. Meanwhile, the lowest performance degradations were observed at 11,20,35,46,59,70,82,92,106,118,144,161,162, and 173 s. Moreover, the jitter utilization of IMP-SCTP increased at 3, 43, 52, 100, 108, and 178-180 s. The performance of IMP-SCTP was better and more stable than that of ORG-SCTP from 10 s to the end of the simulation period, and rarely reached the maximum level. Throughout the 180 s, the behaviors were independent of elapsed time.…”
