SCTP METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A CONGESTION CONTROL IN STREAM CONTROL TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

摘要

The present invention is a method for controlling a congestion window value when data is transmitted between devices having a plurality of associations having different IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, when a new association is set. Estimating available bandwidth information of the new association; Calculating a congestion control threshold of the new association using the estimated available bandwidth information; And setting the calculated congestion control threshold to a congestion window value of the new association, wherein the congestion window value is an initial window value for congestion control indicating the amount of data that can be processed between the devices, and the new The method provides a method characterized in that the congestion control threshold of an association is determined based on the congestion control thresholds of a plurality of preset associations.
