SCTP Performance Improvement Based on:: Adaptive Retransmission Time-Out Adjustment

In this book we have shown what others have done in regard to enhancing SCTP's retransmission time-out performance, and how their approaches are different from ours. We have also shown how the Adaptive RTO algorithm helps improve the SCTP's performance in contrast to the existing implementation. Significant amount of data were gathered in order to show that we have improved the transfer rate in SCTP by about 5%, in the scenario where the Adaptive RTO algorithm is implemented. We have been vigilant in making sure the Adaptive RTO algorithm does not unnecessarily clog network's bandwidth, and that the current implementation of RTO MIN can be safely replaced with the Adaptive RTO algorithm. Furthermore, we have done extensive testing of the Adaptive RTO algorithm in respect to multiple scenarios.We have also shown that the Adaptive RTO algorithm does not clog network's bandwidth under any conditions. This is an evolutionary research. This book does not solve all the problems but sets up additional studies and hypothesis.
