SCTP-Based Middleware for MPI in Wide-Area Networks

Design and Implementation of a Service-integrated Session Layer for Efficient Message Passing in Grid Computing Environments

“…For that reasons, employing SCTP also in Grid environments may be beneficial compared to common TCP. [14,4] When looking at this diversity of alternative transport protocols, the question arise which one should be used by the bridging session layer of a message-passing library in meta-computing environments? The answer is that this depends on the properties of the actual environment.…”
