Agonias,

Perhaps the IP link is congested?  SCTP congests when the send
window is smaller than the offered load.  The send window is
not only dependent upon bandwidth available, but is also affected
(negatively) by the error rate (or packet drop rate) experienced
by the network due to noise or congestion.  It also depends on
what else is competing for the same bandwidth.  Also a large
bandwidth-delay product can cause underutilization.
