To support the transmission of real-time multimedia stream, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) developed by IETF is considered to be more efficient because of its high-degree expandability and compatibility. Today we can observe that instead of using SCTP may become the transmission protocol of next-generation IP network.
In this Thesis, we propose a mechanism to upgrade TCP and UDP, the multi-home feature of SCTP to ensure that multiple paths can exist between two SCTP ends. Not only can the primary path continue to function, but the secondary paths covey part of data packets once the network congestion occurs. Considering the dynamic change of our Internet, the proposed mechanism can enhance the effectiveness of SCTP data transmission, and increase overall network utilization. Cutting user data into chunks in SCTP, we can analyze the transmission performance of individual path by measuring the transmission delay from the sender to the receiving end.
By modifying the simulator of NS-2, we set up different topologies in the experiment to analyze the performance of our mechanism. We compare the modified SCTP with the original SCTP to highlight our proposed mechanism in increasing throughput and network utilization by adjusting the background traffic on the paths.
