SCTP(stream control transmission Protocol) is a transport protocol of next generation network,which integrates merits of TCP and UDP;Meanwhile it extends end-to-end services transportion and is adopted to transfer the signal of SS7 credibly in the IP network.In consideration of SCTP novel features(such as multistreaming and multihoming),a comparation is given between SCTP and different version of TCP,from the aspect of correlative and typical QoS parameters,such as delay,jitter,loss packet probability and throughput by network simulator software NS2;Results of the simulation show that the comprehensive performance of the network using SCTP outperforms that using traditional TCP,thereby QoS of the network is improved more,and at the same time the QoE of subscribers are improved as well.A comparation is given between SCTP and different edition of TCP,and it gives comparation and analysis based on aforementioned QoS parameters of network,all the work pave the way for the subsequent further research of SCTP.
