Transfer Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) are usually used to retrieve objects in the Internet. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) has attractive multistreaming feature, which allows for independent delivery among streams, thus can avoid the head-ofline blocking experienced by TCP and reduce the mean response time of users. We present an analytical model and algorithm to estimate the mean response time for HTTP over SCTP and compare with that of HTTP over TCP in the wireless environment. We validate the accuracy of our model using experiments. It is shown that mean response time for HTTP over SCTP is less than that for HTTP over TCP by 20% on average.
Lee et al. REF used an analytical model to compare the mean response time of both HTTP over TCP and HTTP over SCTP in wireless networks.
