Analytical model of RTT-aware SCTP

Connected vehicles are promoted with the use of different communication technologies for diverse applications. A host with multiple network devices is referred to as a multi-homed node. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is an IETF standard which supports multi-homing. However, original SCTP multi-homing functionality is only used when the primary address becomes unavailable. This paper presents an analytical model for a modified SCTP with multi-homed hosts, which selects the primary network address using a utility function based on minimum round trip time.
