In this letter, we investigate the performance impact of disjoint multiple paths on SCTP in the connected MANET under emergency situations. Disjoint multiple paths allow multi-homing of SCTP to be fully utilized in MANETs, but it may cause inappropriate SACK handling. Through simulations, we evaluate the impact in terms of throughput and energy efficiency.
