However, TCP % can handle only a single IP address per connection. Hence, applications that % uses TCP can not utilize multiple network access fully. % The Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a new transport protocol % which is receiving attention as the successor of TCP. % One of the advanced features of SCTP is multi-homing, % which allows an endpoint to have more than one IP address for switchovers to % be transparent to higher layers. % In this paper, we focus on issues in SCTP multi-homing and % propose a new framework that enhances this feature to realize smooth switchover. % By estimating the condition of each networks, such as delay or loss-rate, % our framework enables SCTP to use the best address that meets users' requirements. % Since our framework will be useful for delay-sensitive or loss-rate sensitive % applications in multi-homed environments, it will be suitable for applications % in mobile environments. % ]
