Analysis of Performance SCTP in Mobile-IP Network Environment

This research describes and makes an analysis of performance of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) compared with User Datagram Protocol (UDP) using Network Simulator (NS-2). This new transport layer protocol has recently been accepted by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a proposed standard to address a number of Transport Control Protocol (TCP) limitations. Here, the interaction of these two transport protocols (SCTP & UDP) has been investigated through the examination of traffic flows through a number of network topologies. SCTP has many new features that could not be found in other transport protocol such as multi-streaming and multi-homing. This performance analysis was done over mobile-IP network environment that enables to measure the several performance metrics such as packet delay, packet loss and jitter. At the end of the study, results and analysis shows that the research objective was achieved as well as comparative studies between the three transport protocols that is SCTP, UDP and TCP

Performance Evaluation of UDP, DCCP, SCTP and TFRC for Different Traffic Flow in Wired Networks

The demand for internet applications has increased rapidly.  Providing quality of service (QoS) requirements for varied internet application is a challenging task. One important factor that is significantly affected on the QoS service is the transport layer. The transport layer provides end-to-end data transmission across a network. Currently, the most common transport protocols used by internet application are TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). Also, there are recent transport protocols such as DCCP (data congestion control protocol), SCTP (stream congestion transmission protocol), and TFRC (TCP-friendly rate control), which are in the standardization process of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this paper, we evaluate the performance of  UDP, DCCP, SCTP and TFRC protocols for different traffic flows: data transmission, video traffic, and VOIP in wired networks. The performance criteria used for this evaluation include throughput, end to end delay, and packet loss rate. Well-known network simulator NS-2 used to implement the UDP, DCCP, SCTP, and TFRC protocols performance comparison. Based on the simulation results, the performance throughput of  SCTP and TFRC is better than UDP. Moreover, DCCP performance is superior SCTP and TFRC in term of end-to-end delay

Performance comparison of SCTP and UDP over mobile ad hoc networks

Countless researchers have put efforts to conduct researchs about the performance of the traditional transport control protocols (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP).Recently new transport protocol had been designed calledStream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).In this research, we will focus to study the effect of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) on these two transport protocols SCTP and UDP and find out which one performs better over MANET.The transport protocol SCTP has more services and features compare to the traditional transport protocol.We also present some literatures on SCTP and UDP performance over MANET.The simulation parameters and the results of the simulation will also be discussed

Signalling Transport Protocols

SCTP is a newly developed transport protocol tailored for signalling transport. Whereas in theory SCTP is supposed to achieve a much better performance than TCP and UDP, at present there are no experimental results showing SCTP s real benefits. This paper analyzes SCTP s strengths and weaknesses and provides simulation results. We implemented SIP on top of UDP, TCP and SCTP in the network simulator and compared the three transport protocols under different network conditions
