Abstract

Most current web application use HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to retrieve objects from the Internet. SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is recently proposed transport protocol with congestion control mechanism similar to that of TCP. Waiting delay is an important performance criterion for when transferring web object over the Internet. In this paper, we present an analytical model of mean waiting delay for object transfers over the Internet in a wireless using the SCTP as the transport protocol and compare with the mean waiting in using TCP. Validation of the model using experimental results show that the mean waiting delay for HTTP over SCTP is less than that for HTTP over TCP. This is caused by the small slow-start time of SCTP.
