Abstract :
Stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) is gaining ever more attention. Several proposals, based on simulation results, aiming to replace TCP with SCTP are present. To the best of our knowledge there are no available tools supporting SCTP traffic generation. In this work, to study the performance of SCTP in real heterogeneous (wired/wireless) scenarios, we provide some preliminary results in terms of throughput and jitter that we obtained using a tool we developed to support SCTP traffic generation in real networks. A comparison with TCP and UDP over the same scenarios is also present.
