The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a general-purpose transport layer protocol for IP network communications, analogous to TCP and UDP. The built-in support for multi-homed hosts allows a single SCTP association to run across multiple links to achieve link redundancy. SCTP exploits the multihoming feature through Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT) by transferring new data from a source to a destination host via two or more paths, for increasing the application's throughput. CMT receiver maintains a single rbuf which is shared across the sub-association flows. During the middle...
