Building clusters from commodity off-the-shelf parts is a well-established technique for building inexpensivemediumto large-size computing clusters.Many commoditymid-rangemotherboards comewith multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and the low cost per port for Gigabit Ethernet makes switches inexpensive as well. Our objective in this work is to take advantage of multiple inexpensive Gigabit net...

This Article Presents The Design Of Continuous Video Streaming Compression Of A Networked System For Joint Compression, Error Detection And For Error Correction. Video Compression Applications Are Becoming More Popular Over Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The objective of this work is to design a cross-layer system that jointly controls the video encoding rate, the transmission rate, and t...

A comparison of three different end-to-end security solutions for the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) is presented in this paper. The compared solutions are SCTP over IPsec, TLS over SCTP, and secure socket SCTP (SS-SCTP). The two former are standardized solutions, whereas the latter is a newly proposed solution that was designed to offer as much security differentiation support as ...

Performance of multipath transport protocols is known to be sensitive to path asymmetry. The potential difference between each path in terms of bandwidth, delay and packet-loss significantly decreases the overall performance when a single data flow is carried over multiple asymmetric paths. In this paper, we evaluate and analyse Concurrent Multipath Transfer extension of Stream Control Transpor...

In SCTP's Concurrent Multipath Transfer, if data is sent to the destined IP(s) without knowledge of the paths condition, packets may be lost or delayed. This is because of the bursty nature of IP traffic and physical damage to the network. To offset these problems, network path status is examined using our new mechanism Multipath State Aware Concurrent Multipath Transfer using redundant transmi...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is newly emerged protocol, which combined good qualities of TCP and UDP. It is a reliable message oriented protocol providing Multistreaming and Multihoming as well. The congestion control scheme of SCTP is more or less similar to that of TCP with the exception of the Fast Recovery algorithm. The performance of SCTP over the Internet and satellite lin...

1 Dept. of Computer Information, Daeduk College, Deajon, Korea 2 Dept. of Computer Science, Namseoul Univ., Cheonan, Korea Summary SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a general-purpose transport protocol for IP network data communications. This paper examines methods of guaranteeing multi-streaming management and fairness among streams within SCTP associations. We investigated an imp...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is the third transport layer protocol next to TCP and UDP. The SCTP provides some distinctive features over the TCP. This paper is purposed to compare SCTP and TCP in the performance perspective. We compare the throughput of SCTP and TCP for the three different test scenarios: the performance comparison of SCTP and TCP for the different size of the us...

Today’s computer network is shifting from wired networks to wireless networks. Several attempts have been made to assess the performance of TCP over wireless networks. Also, several solutions have been proposed to improve its performance. Many people believe SCTP would be replacement of TCP. However, the performance enhancement research for SCTP over wireless network is in beginning stage yet. ...

Multi-streaming provides SCTP with an aggregation mechanism to accommodate heterogeneous objects, which belong to the same application but may require different type of QoS from the network. However, in the current SCTP specification, supporting QoS inside an SCTP association is not a concern; it is also hindered by the fact that all streams share the flow and congestion control at the associat...
