Abstract
Internet applications like multimedia are comprised of a large amount of data traffic, and its transmission is increasing continuously due to the growth of Internet. The quality of different applications depends on network conditions and transport protocol. Quality of services needed by today’s Internet applications cannot be fulfilled by the traditional transport protocol like transmission control protocol (TCP) therefore other transport protocols like SCTP and DCCP with advanced features were developed. This paper considered three transport layer protocols they are transport control protocol (TCP), datagram congestion control protocol (DCCP), and stream control transport protocol (SCTP). The analysis of these transport layer protocols is done on the basis of average throughput, number of packets sent, average jitter, delivery ratio, average delay, number of packets lost using NS-2. NS-2 provides virtual environment for simulation. Simulation result shows that DCCP achieves higher throughput with less jitter and less delay. However according to our simulation analysis, it is found that more number of packets is dropped in DCCP protocol than other two protocols. But DCCP overcomes its competitor protocols from all other parameters.
