Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a transport layer protocol to support the data transmission. SCTP is similar to Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) in a variety of aspects. However, several features of SCTP including multi-homing and multi-streaming incur the performance difference from TCP. This paper highlights the data transfer during the initial slow start phase in SCTP congestion control composed of slow start phase and congestion avoidance phase. In order to compare the mean transfer time between SCTP and TCP, we experiment with different performance parameters including bandwidth, round trip time, and data length. By varying data length, we also measure the corresponding initial window size, which is one of factors affecting the mean transfer time. For the experiment, we have written server and client applications by C language using SCTP socket API and have measured the transfer time by ethereal program. We transferred data between client and server using round-robin method. Analysis of these experimental results from the testbed implementation shows that larger initial window size of SCTP than that of TCP brings the reduction in the mean transfer time of SCTP compared with TCP by 15 % on average during the initial slow start phase.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a new transport protocol that is known to provide improved performance than Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) in multi-homing environment that is having two and more IP addresses. But currently single-homed computer is used primarily that is having one IP address. To identify whether mean transfer time for SCTP is faster that for TCP in single-homed environment considering packet loss, we make up real testbed regulating the bandwidth, delay time and packet loss rate on router and observe the transfer time. We write server and client applications to measure SCTP and TCP mean transfer time by C language. Analysis of these experimental results from the testbed implementation shows that mean transfer time of SCTP is not better than performance of TCP in single homed environment exceptional case. Main reasons of performance are that SCTP compared to TCP stops transmitting data by timeout and data transmission is often delayed when SACK congestion happens. The result of study shows that elaborate performance tuning is required in developing a new SCTP module or using a implemented SCTP module.

Current Internet uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) as an application layer protocol and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) as a transport layer protocol to provide web service. SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a recently proposed transport protocol with very similar congestion control mechanisms as TCP, except the initial congestion window during the slow start phase. In this paper, we present a mathematical model of object transfer latency during the slow start phase for HTTP over SCTP and compare with the latency of HTTP over TCP. Validation of the model using experimental result shows that the mean object transfer latency for HTTP over SCTP during the slow start phase is less than that for HTTP over TCP by 11%.

최근 SCTP(Stream Control Transmission Protocol)는 TCP/UDP 이후의 차세대 수송계층 프로토콜로서 주목 받고 있다. SCTP는 기존 TCP 및 UDP의 문제점을 극복하도록 설계되었으며 특히 multi-streaming 및 multi-homing 특성을 제공한다. 본 고에서는 SCTP 프로토콜의 기본 특징에 대하여 알아보고, 현재 논의중인 확장작업의 주요 골자를 살펴본다.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) provides the multi-homing feature, which allows each SCTP endpoint to use two or more IP addresses for data transmission. In this paper, the SCTP multi-homing feature is experimented and analyzed in terms of throughput over Linux platforms based on the NISTNET network emulator. We perform the experimental analysis of SCTP throughputs by SCTP multi-homing for the various network conditions: different packet loss rates, network bandwidths, and transmission delays. From the experimental results, it is shown that the SCTP multi-homing gives much better throughout gun over the SCTP single-homing case in the networks with a high packet loss rate. In the meantime, the other factors including network bandwidth and transmission delay do not seem to give a significant impact on the performance of the SCTP multi-homing.

Generally an increasing number of recent applications have found TCP too limiting. There are some characteristics in the transmission of document and binary data which some transmission delay are tolerant but the content must completely be transferred. However voice signals are more sensitive with not some packet loss but some transmission delay. Therefore, Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is proposed to minimize the delay and packet loss in the field of delivery of voice signal. SCTP is designed to transport PSTN signalling messages over IP networks, but is capable of broader applications. In this paper, the architecture of SCTP implementation is designed and some interface of SCTP software library which are implemented are specified.

The current multihome-aware protocols (like stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) or parallel TCP for concurrent multipath data transfer (CMT) are not designed for high-capacity and large-latency networks; they often have performance problems transferring large data files over shared long-distance wide area networks. It has been shown that SCTP-CMT is more sensitive to receive buffer (rbuf) constraints, and this rbuf-blocking problem causes considerable throughput loss when multiple paths are used simultaneously. In this research paper, we demonstrate the weakness of SCTP-CMT rbuf constraints, and we then identify that rbuf-blocking problem in SCTP multihoming is mostly due to its loss-based nature for detecting network congestion. We present a simulation-based performance comparison of FAST TCP versus SCTP in high-speed networks for solving a number of throughput issues. This work proposes an end-to-end transport layer protocol (i.e., FAST TCP multihoming as a reliable, delaybased, multihome-aware, and selective ACK-based transport protocol), which can transfer data between a multihomed source and destination hosts through multiple paths simultaneously. Through extensive ns-2 simulations, we show that FAST TCP multihoming achieves the desired goals under a variety of network conditions. The experimental results and survey presented in this research also provide an insight on design decisions for the future high-speed multihomed transport layer protocols.

This paper has been studied some security issues o( stream control transmission protocol and designed some functional requirement for IPsec and IKE to facilitate their use for securing SCTP. In particular, some additional support in the form of new ID type in IKE and some implementation choices in the IPsec processing to accomodate for the multiplicity of source and destination addresses associated with a single SCTP association.

We have studied the effect of head of the line blocking (HOLB) on session initiation protocol (SIP) session establishment delays. Our results are based on experiments performed in a test bed and on the public Internet. We used the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) as a transport for SIP because SCTP can be configured to suffer or to avoid HOLB. Our experiments show that the effect of HOLB on session establishment delays generally starts to be significant starting at fairly low packet loss rates. However, there are scenarios where network conditions are good enough to make the effect of HOLB insignificant.

In this paper, we propose an analysis model for the performance of channel error probability in Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) using Markov model. In this model it is assumed that the compressor and decompressor work in Unidirectional Mode. And the average throughput of SCTP protocol is obtained by finding the throughputs of when the initial channel state is good or bad.
