Transport Layer Multihoming for Fault Tolerance in Fcs Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We document a potential flaw in the current SCTP retransmission policy. The current scheme intends to improve the chance of success by exploiting the redundant paths between multihomed endpoints, but we have found that the current SCTP retransmission policy often degrades performance. We comparatively evaluate an alternative retransmission policy and show that the current SCTP retransmission policy unexpectedly performs worse under certain conditions. Our analysis exposes the problem and we discuss three possible solutions.

Concurrent Multipath Transfer Using Transport Layer Multihoming: Performance during Network Failures
Recent research on Concurrent Multipath Transfer using SCTP multihoming (CMT) proposed various retransmission policies to minimize the negative impacts of receiver buffer (rbuf) blocking that occurs during congestion. Here we investigate CMT’s throughput degradation caused by rbuf blocking during complete and/or short-term network failures. To improve CMT’s performance during failure, we introd...
متن کاملFault Tolerance in Optical Networks; A study of electronic in- and egress interconnections in Torus topologies
The ingress and egress nodes in an all-optical network have an electronic inand egress part and an optical switch. This work analyses various architectures for interconnection of the "electronic" and "optical" parts of the network in order to tolerate single optical switch failures and single optical link failures. The architectures studied are: non-redundant (reference), fault tolerant optical...
متن کاملSCTP in Go
This paper describes a successful attempt to combine two relatively new technologies: Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and the programming language Go, achieved by extending the existing Go network library with SCTP. SCTP is a reliable, message-oriented transport layer protocol, similar to TCP and UDP. It offers sequenced delivery of messages over multiple streams, network fault tole...
متن کاملVirtual ID: ID/locator split in a mobile IP environment for mobility, multihoming and location privacy for the next generation wireless networks
Current networking protocols designed around single interface stationary end-systems clearly fail to represent the present communication context of mobile, multi-interface end-systems. Also, the convergence of wired and wireless technologies into an all-IP (AIP) next generation network will make available multiple diversified contexts that can be leveraged for better fault tolerance, higher ava...
متن کاملAn incremental approach to IPv6 multihoming
The availability of two or more connectivity providers (configuration known as multihoming) allows improvements in failure tolerance and enables traffic engineering capabilities. Current IPv4 multihoming solutions suffer from scalability limitations. In this article we present a solution that allow IPv6 networks to benefit from multihoming, taking advantage from the fact that each provider dele...
