Multipath transport and flow division for multihomed hosts

Abstract

This research primarily deals with the problem of ow division in the context of emerging multihomed protocols like the Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP In this work we augment SCTP to increase its throughput and overall reliability by incorporating ow division strategies which divide a ow on multiple paths Optimizing this ow division will enhance the system throughput while maintaining the QoS required by the ow We propose a new MultiPath SCTP MPSCTP protocol as an extension of S
