Abstract
In this paper, we study the impact of multistreaming on the performance of SCTP over satellite networks. We first show that multistreaming results in higher goodput than single streams when the receiver buffer is constrained as in the case of wireless handheld devices. We then demonstrate that the multistreaming feature of SCTP results in reduced buffer requirements at the receiver in the presence of losses in the satellite network. The above advantages makes SCTP an attractive transport protocol for wireless handheld devices.
