Performance of SCTP in Wi-Fi and WiMAX networks with multi-homed mobiles

Published: 20 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This paper provides an exhaustive performance analysis by simulation of the SCTP transfer protocol in WiMAX and Wi-Fi networks. We provide also a comparison of SCTP with both transfer protocols UDP for "VoIP-like" applications and TCP for FTP sessions, as SCTP can support these two types (elastic and non-elastic) of traffic. Finally, we study how SCTP performs when a mobile is multi-homed, i.e. connected simultaneously to two wireless networks (Wi-Fi and WiMAX).
