Performance comparison of SCTP and UDP over mobile ad hoc networks

Countless researchers have put efforts to conduct researchs about the performance of the traditional transport control protocols (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP).Recently new transport protocol had been designed calledStream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).In this research, we will focus to study the effect of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) on these two transport protocols SCTP and UDP and find out which one performs better over MANET.The transport protocol SCTP has more services and features compare to the traditional transport protocol.We also present some literatures on SCTP and UDP performance over MANET.The simulation parameters and the results of the simulation will also be discussed
