This paper studies the effect of path delay on SCTP performance. It focuses on the SCTP fast retransmit algorithm and demonstrates that the performance in the current retransmission strategy will degrade acutely when the secondary path delay is less than the primary path delay at a certain level. The performance degradation is due to the disordered SACKs and constant congestion window size during the fast retransmit phase. Some modifications aimed at these problems are proposed and evaluated. This paper also identifies that the cause of the performance degradation in SCTP is a result of the single path configuration oriented design of the current fast retransmit algorithm. Several fast retransmission strategies are evaluated for different path delay and bandwidth configurations.
