Abstract—In this paper we present a taxonomy for
retransmission policies that perform error recovery to offer
completely reliable or partial reliable services for Multi
Path Transport SCTP and quasi-SCTP. The taxonomy is
drawn from a survey and an extensive analysis of the state
of the art research works on retransmission policies for
Multi Path Transport SCTP protocol. The taxonomy
comprises two classification schemes: one that classifies
retransmission policies with respect to retransmission path
designation and one that classifies them with respect to their
decision base scheme to select retransmission path which is
the most salient feature of the retransmission policies for
protocols that supports Multi Homing at the Transport
layer. The sole purpose of our taxonomy is to gain valuable
insights into these retransmission policies and thereby
suggest baseline for future research. Based on our taxonomy,
a survey is made of existing retransmission policies. The
survey shows how retransmission policies are categorized
according to our taxonomy, and exemplifies the majority of
retransmission policies detailed in our taxonomy.
Index Terms—Taxonomy, survey, retransmission policy,
multipath, SCTP.
