Abstract -
Performance is the driving force for effective computer network utilization in the current and future trend in the network communication. SCTP is a new transport protocol defined by the IETF intended for the transport of voice signaling data (SS7) system over IP networks. SCTP with very recent defined extensions is growingly considered for other application scenarios too. In this paper, performance analysis of Disk Local Area Network Service – iSCSI, running over SCTP is presented. SCTP is believed to have many advantages in comparison to TCP in the TCP/IP transport layer. Based on our experimental results, recommendations with regard to SCTP usage and its ability to function as a TCP alternative are made.
