Abstract

SCTP is a new general purpose transport layer protocol and it had been released by IETF for standard. There are many features which make SCTP powerful. But in the specification, IETF did not recommend technically to use SCTP multi-homing feature for load balancing because they want to use the backup paths to maintain the robustness of a network. In this paper, we proposed a load balancing system which was based on SCTP. But it did not affect the original idea of SCTP. Therefore, we can enhance the availability of the backup paths and then improve the throughput of the SCTP users. Additionally, we also introduced some schemes which can make our load balancing system more efficiency in mobile ad hoc networks
