SCTP Versus TCP: Comparing the Performance of Transport Protocols for Web Traffic
Overview 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.
