Abstract
The stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) is a transport protocol that is robust against network failure. However, it cannot select routes for packet rerouting unless the receiver is a multi-homed host. We propose a method that allows single-homed hosts to support SCTP multi-path access; it allows hosts in a local network to select routes to single-homed severs on the Internet. In this method, a single-homed client constitutes a virtual multi-homed client with a Multi-path gateway (MPGW) and communicates with a single-homed server over multiple routes. Our experiments show that a virtual multi-homed client can communicate with a normal SCTP server and that the method establishes connections that experience the same network failure to recover at different times, whereas IP dynamic routing recovers them at the same time.
