If you are referring to unordered delivery or partial ordered delivery (using multiple streams): The advantage of reduced head-of-line blocking only becomes relevant if the message rate per association is rather high (average message interarrival time lower than RTT, according to some experiments with the Linux SCTP implementation I did some time ago). At least for a battery driven, mobile wireless device a sustained message rate in this order of magnitude might be too much. As Henning already pointed out resource consumption in the operating system is higher as for TCP (at least for the Linux implementation). regards, Sebastian -- Sebastian Kiesel mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Research Division tel:+49-6221-4342-232 fax:+49-6221-4342-155 NEC Laboratories Europe Kurfuerstenanlage 36, 69115 Heidelberg, Germany -- NEC Europe Limited Registered in England 2832014 Registered Office NEC House, 1 Victoria Road, London W3 6BL _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
