Abstract

The SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is relatively newer transport layer protocol which incorporates the core features of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and also has many unique features like multihoming and multistreaming. Thus it is necessary to analyze the performance of SCTP and its advantages over TCP and UDP. This paper presents the performance analysis of SCTP compared to TCP and UDP by using two topologies with NS2 simulator. The two topologies are: dumb-bell topology with single home and dual home SCTP. Measured performance parameters are throughput, delay, jitter and packet loss. The results indicate that the throughput of SCTP is better than the throughput of TCP and UDP. The jitter problem is less in SCTP compared to TCP. Transmission delay of SCTP is more compared to TCP and UDP transmission delay. Packet loss is zero for all three protocols. The single home SCTP and dual home SCTP gave similar performance.
