Stream Control Transportation Protocol (SCTP) towards MANET Routing: Comparison of DSR and AODV

This research wants to compare the performance of Stream Control Transportation Protocol (SCTP) with two difference mechanism, which are Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) by using Network Simulator (NS-2). Specifically, it measures the behavior of SCTP in terms of throughput and smoothness by having assumption that routing protocol in MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) can bring significant effect in SCTP in the overall performance. Actually, IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), has issued a new protocol called SCTP, which in this study, the interaction of SCTP is investigated through the examination of traffic flows through a number of network topologies. This performance analysis is over MANET Routing Protocol that enables the process of analysis of several performance metrics. The simulation use topology with 16 nodes that is consisting of metric 4×4 of SCTP transport layer for both routing protocol of AODV and DSR. At last, this research have been found that MANET impact less on the throughput of SCTP with only amounted to 0-2% within 5m/s to 25 m/s of simulation area. Furthermore, the speed of node movement does not significantly affect the smoothness as well.
