  Abstract

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), which has gained significant attention as a candidate transport protocol for the next generation Internet, provides several features unlike other traditional protocols such as TCP and UDP. Multihoming is one of the features, which receives the most attention in discussions of SCTP. Multihoming allows an association, which is a SCTP's term for a connection, between two endpoints to use multiple paths. One of the paths, called a primary path, is used for initial data transmission and in the case of retransmission an alternate path is used. However, inappropriate SACK handling was introduced where the primary path in wireless multihomed environment is temporarily disconnected for few seconds and recovered. In this paper, we show that the inappropriate SACK handling may occur even where the primary path includes a WLAN link with high burst errors, and analyze the effects with simulation results.
