Abstract: The transport layer is responsible for the end-toend transfer of messages from a session entity in the source machine to a session entity in the destination machine. The three major protocols available in the transport layer are : TCP, UDP and SCTP. SCTP provides some of the same service features of both UDP and TCP: it is message-oriented like UDP and ensures reliable, insequence transport of messages with congestion control like TCP; it differs from these in providing multistreaming, multi-homing and redundant paths to increase resilience and reliability. In this paper performance comparison of TCP, UDP and SCTP is presented both in wired and wireless environment. To compare the performance of SCTP with that of TCP and UDP under different scenarios and to understand the scope for improvement is the main purpose of this paper. The performance is analyzed using the metrics: Throughput, Jitter and Packet loss. Network simulator NS3 is the simulator used.
