For each SCTP session, the receiver will notify the sender its receiver
buffer when the session is being setup. Therefore, the initial receiver
buffer size is fixed for each single simulation. After session setup, the
data sender will calculate the most recently receiver window of its peer,
which gives the sender an indication of the space available in the
receiver's inbound buffer.

In my point of view, if you kept the receiver buffer as 131026 you should
get the same throughput for all the link capacities given other parameters
are the same. Could you try multiple sessions instead of only one session to
measure the SCTP throughput if you want to use the fixed receiver buffer?
