SCTP versus TCP: Comparing the Performance of Transport Protocols for Web Traffic

Content Provider	CiteSeerX
Abstract	The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is one of the most widely used protocols on the World Wide Web today. Typically, clients request documents from web servers and display it to the user after the requested document has been fetched. As the user base of this simple, but effective protocol has expanded, users have come to expect quicker responses. Stream Control Transfer Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable, message-oriented transport protocol that was designed to transport Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) signaling messages over IP networks. SCTP separates the notion of data transmission streams from that of an association, which is functionally equivalent to that of a TCP-style connection. This allows multiple streams within the same association. The data transmission over these streams is fully ordered. However, data from different streams are partially ordered over the association and this can reduce the delay caused by head-of-line blocking problems. We hypothesize that SCTP could be an effective transport protocol for web traffic and present the results of our comparison of SCTP and TCP. 1
