“…Multi-streaming elude the Head-of-line blocking (HOL) exists in TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), where a single stream loss can cause subsequent streams to also be delayed. HOL effect does not affect the SCTP association due to individual streams [11]. Figure 3 describes a multi-streamed association between hosts A and B.…”

“…Multi-homed nodes can be simultaneously connected through multiple end-to-end paths to increase resilience to path failure. For instance, users might be simultaneously connected through dial-up/broadband or via multiple wireless technologies such as 802.11b and GPRS [11]. shows that in case of a failure on the path to one of the IP addresses, the SCTP sender may use another of the receiver's addresses.…”

SCTP (Stream Control Transport Protocol) is a reliable transport layer protocol which provides acknowledged, error-free and non-duplicated transfer of message. It combines the advantages of TCP and UDP. In additional to that, SCTP has many attractive characteristics such as multi-homing, multi-streaming and partial data reliability. This paper thoroughly discusses about the advantages of SCTP. We have experimented the SCTP endpoints data transmission by using NS2 (Network Simulator 2) tool including multi-homed SCTP nodes data transmission. The result shows that an SCTP node in NS2 cannot be truly multi-homed. Hence, NS2 still lacks of full implementation of SCTP features.

“…To support the ongoing VHO research into UMTS/WLAN networks, the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) was previously proposed to minimize transition time during VHO over HWNs [2,5]. In particular, SCTP has a highly reliable transport layer protocol which is placed at the side of the user datagram protocol (UDP) and transmission control protocol (TCP) [11,12,16,18]. It provides ordered delivery and stability of data between two endpoints similar to UDP and TCP.…”

Enhancement of packet reordering in a mobile stream control transmission protocol for a heterogeneous wireless network vertical handover

Future wireless access networks will be heterogeneous wireless network (HWN) environment which consists of various wireless technologies including universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks and wireless local area networks (WLAN). They are used together through vertical handover (VHO) to ensure global mobility and service continuity. The mobile stream control transmission protocol (mSCTP) layer supports dynamic association reconfiguration. This protocol allows mSCTP endpoints to dynamically add, change and delete IP addresses when the mobile node (MN) is switched between HWNs. During a mSCTP handover, the endpoints of the mSCTP are required to change the primary link from an old link to a UMTS into a new link to a WLAN. However, due to the disparity between UMTS/WLAN bandwidth, a packet reordering problem will occur when the MN of the mSCTP leaves to a new network. This packet reordering problem can then causes additional drawbacks such as impossibility of growing an mSCTP congestion window, unnecessary fast retransmissions, actual packet losses, and reduced efficiency of the receiving mSCTP. In this paper, we propose a packet reordering model (PRM) that is inserted inside the MN, and works as a special buffer of a large capacity with one input and one output port to receive all transmission sequence numbers (TSNs). It then forwards all incoming data chunks to the MN/WLAN networks after the VHO. The performance of the system is simulated and analyzed using NS-2 simulation tool. The simulation results show that the suggested model enhances the performance throughput and the congestion window of the conventional mSCTP through VHO by handling the packet reordering problem. In other words, the average performance throughout of the proposed PRM scheme is 181.48 Kbps or 16% increment compared to conventional mSCTP at 165.54 Kbps.
