“…With [7], concurrent multipath transfer has been introduced for SCTP (SCTP-CMT) and thus exposes SCTP now also to the scheduling problem in a similar manner as Multipath TCP. [18] tries to achieve ordered delivery at the receiver in SCTP-CMT by taking the delay of each path into account. While in theory this is promising, it is unclear how feasible it is in a real-world Linux kernel implementation where only a rough estimate of the path's delay is available.…”

Today many end hosts are equipped with multiple interfaces. These interfaces can be utilized simultaneously by multipath protocols to pool resources of the links in an efficient way while also providing resilience to eventual link failures. However how to schedule the data segments over multiple links is a challenging problem, and highly influences the performance of multipath protocols.In this paper, we focus on different schedulers for Multipath TCP. We first design and implement a generic modular scheduler framework that enables testing of different schedulers for Multipath TCP. We then use this framework to do an in-depth analysis of different schedulers by running emulated and real-world experiments on a testbed. We consider bulk data transfer as well as application limited traffic and identify metrics to quantify the scheduler's performance. Our results shed light on how scheduling decisions can help to improve multipath transfer.

“…These solutions vary in their techniques from simple calculations or modifications to the conventional MPTCP [7][8][9] to sophisticated scheduling methods [10,11]. Some studies have proposed solutions to mitigate receiver's buffer blocking particularly for the case of constrained buffer size [12]. However, the reordered packets that frequently trigger the fast retransmission and unnecessarily reduce the size of the congestion window (CWND) result in lower throughput.…”

“…With this concurrent multipath transfer has been introduced for SCTP [9] and still exposes to scheduling problem similar to the multipath transmission. Multipath TCP schedulers consider delay of each path into account and minimize the head of line blocking [11]. QoS improve services to the network users with guaranteed dedicated bandwidth and timely delivery of data packets with high priority to a particular destination.…”

In Multi Route Configurations (MRC) protocol when failure is detected, it forwards the packets over preconfigured alternative next-hops and immediately recovers from single or multiple failures. Multipath routing provides multipath communication and improves network transmission reliability. However, when there is a huge amount of traffic in the network existing MRC follows default scheduling which results in large transmission delay for high priority packet. Hence it is a challenging problem, and highly influences the performance of MRC. In this paper, we propose an Agent based Monitoring and Scheduling Technique (AMST) algorithm which provides a generic framework for packet scheduling. The main idea of AMST algorithm is to schedule the packets based on its priority and by selecting the transmission path with lowest transmission delay.
