Integration of RTMFP in the OMNeT++ Simulation Environment

Abstract: This paper introduces the new Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) simulation model for the INET framework for the OMNeT++ simulation environment. RTMFP is a message orientated protocol with a focus on real time peer-to-peer communication. After Adobe Inc. released the specifications, we were able to implement the protocol in INET and compare its performance to the similar Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) with a focus on congestion control and flow control mechanisms.
