Abstract

Internet-on-the-train is a rising concept in the last few years. Several trials in different countries have proved the feasibility of offering Internet access to train commuters, but none of them combines broadband access, scalability, seamless handover and quality of service guarantees in one solution. In this paper, we look at the features of SCTP and its extensions which could overcome these shortcomings and which were successfully demonstrated.
