  Abstract

This paper compares throughput performance of TCP and SCTP in a variety of network environments. For experiments, we construct a Linux-based testbed and consider a set of performance metrics such as MSS(Maximum Segment Size), transmission delay, and packet loss rate. In addition, we analyze the effect of SCTP multi-streaming on throughput. From the experimental results, we can see that SCTP provides throughput gain of approximately 20%~50% over TCP. This performance gain comes from the distinctive features of SCTP such as chunk bundling, initial congestion window of 2 MTU and SACK(Selective ACK) based error control. In the lossy networks, we can see that SCTP multi-streaming transmissions can effectively overcome the so-called HoLB(Head-of-Line Blocking) phenomenon of TCP.
