The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) was developed to support the transfer of telephony signaling over IP networks. One of the ambitions when designing SCTP was to offer a robust transfer of traffic between hosts. For this reason SCTP was designed to support multihoming, which gives the possibility to set up several paths between the same hosts in the same session. If the primary pat...

One of the ambitions when designing the Stream Control Transmission Protocol was to o er a robust transfer of tra c between hosts. For this reason SCTP was designed to support multihoming, which presumes the possibility to set up several paths between the same hosts in the same session. If the primary path between a source machine and a destination machine breaks down, the tra c may still be se...

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It is designed to transport public switched telephone network (PSTN) signaling messages over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader applications. This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which describes the m...

OBJECTIVE To quantify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) and to demonstrate the usefulness of quantitative MRI findings in the management of CMT. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 160 subjects with CMT who had undergone neck MRI at the age of 48 months or younger at a tertiary medical center. Among the 160 subjects, 54 had undergone surg...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disorders are the extremely heterogeneous group of diseases of the peripheral nervous system in humans with a prevalence of 1: 2500. Up to date mutations in 30 genes have been reported in various CMT forms. In numerous CMT types only locus is known and some CMT forms were shown not to be linked with any known locus. Genetic studies in CMT disorders cover a wide spectru...

This study examined whether two machine-marked tests (MMTs; a clinical problem-solving test and situational judgement test), previously validated for selection into U.K. general practice (GP) training, could provide a valid methodology for shortlisting into core medical training (CMT). A longitudinal design was used to examine the MMTs' psychometric properties in CMT samples, and correlations b...

This paper studies the effect of path delay on SCTP performance. It focuses on the SCTP fast retransmit algorithm and demonstrates that the performance in the current retransmission strategy will degrade acutely when the secondary path delay is less than the primary path delay at a certain level. The performance degradation is due to the disordered SACKs and constant congestion window size duri...

In this paper we present a number of modifications to the recently adopted by IETF Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), that allow bandwidth aggregation over the multiple interfaces of a host. We show that it is possible to implement a number of algorithms for bandwidth aggregation, with only a small number of modifications to the base SCTP protocol. Our simulation results clearly depic...

Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neuropathy, with estimated prevalence of 17 to 40 in 100,000 affected (Patzkó, & Shy, 2011). CMT is characterized by atrophy of muscle tissue and loss of touch sensation of limb, predominantly in the feet and legs, foot drop, and hammer toes. The most frequent initial symptoms include foot drop, claw toe, and muscle wasting i...
