At the Transport Layer in Internet model, Transmission Control Protocol provide host-to-host connectivity. There are many other protocols under TCP like SCTP (Stream Control Transport Protocol) and DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol) which provides more features. DCCP is unreliable transport layer protocol designed to provide congestion control and suitable for time delivery of data. SC...

In the StreamControl Transmission Protocol (SCTP), when a portion of a packet is corrupted, the entire packet will be discarded at the receiver side. This may result in degradation of the throughput of SCTP over wireless networks with a high bit error rate. This paper proposes a new error control scheme of SCTP using a partial Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) checksum to enhance the throughput per...

Streaming control transmission protocol (SCTP) is one kind of new generation transport layer protocol, is a little modification form TCP. Like TCP, the congestion control mechanism of current SCTP relies on packet loss as an indicator of network congestion. When congestion been detected the sender will reduce congestion window size to half to avoid congestion. In wire/wireless network environme...

Numerous protocols were introduced in the transport layer, which can be very different depending on the provided services. Beside the traditional TCP and UDP, new transport protocols (SCTP, DCCP) have appeared in recent years to overcome limitations of the conventional protocols. The unique features of SCTP like multihoming and multistreaming make this protocol very attractive for reliable data...

Extended abstract. Network address translation poses a challenge for hosts that attempt to use protocols that place internet protocol addressing information inside IP payload. The same issue exists for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol and is even more difficult when SCTP associations are multi-homed. This paper deals with the options available for establishment of an SCTP association be...

We characterize an inefficiency in the current specification of SCTP’s congestion control, which degrades performance (more than necessary to be “TCP-friendly”) when there are multiple packet losses in a single window. We present an SCTP variant, called New-Reno SCTP, which introduces three modifications. First, a Fast Recovery mechanism, similar to that of New-Reno TCP, is included to avoid mu...

SCTP is a general purpose transport protocol featuring multihoming support and flexible, message oriented data delivery services. With respect to multi-homing, the SCTP standard uses this feature for network level redundancy only and, thus, does not provide load sharing capabilities among the redundant links. In order to satisfy the strict performance requirements for signaling transport, effic...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common inherited motor and sensory neuropathy. Previous studies have shown that neuropathic pain is an occasional symptom of CMT referred by CMT patients. However, neuropathic pain is not considered a significant symptom in CMT patient and no researchers have studied profoundly the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain in CMT. Here, we highlight the r...

T he transport layer’s primary role is to provide end-to-end communications service between two or more applications running on different hosts. It isolates the applications from the specifics of the underlying network connecting the hosts and provides a simple interface for applications developers. The transport layer can also perform sophisticated actions such as flow control, error recovery,...

Unquestionably, syslog provides the most popular and easily manageable computer system logging environment. In a computer network, syslog messages are used for several purposes such as for optimizing system performance, logging user’s actions and investigating malicious activities. Due to all these essential utilities, a competent transport service for syslog messages becomes important. Most of...
