Abstract:
One of the major advantages of SCTP is supporting multi-homed
communication. If a multi-homed end-point has a redundant network
connections, the SCTP associations have a good chance to survive
network failures by migrating traffic from inactive networks to
active ones. However, if the SCTP standard is followed, there can be
a significant delay during the migration. During this period, SCTP
might not be able to transmit much data to the peer. This issue
drastically impairs the usability of SCTP in some situations. This
memo describes the issue of the SCTP failover mechanism and specifies
an alternative failover procedure for SCTP that improves its
performance during and after failover. The procedures require only
minimal modifications to the current specification.
