Improving the efficiency of SCTP network software
The work presents a software system for demonstrating the operation of the SCTP transport protocol in comparison with its better-known analogues – TCP and UDP. To reproduce the operation of the chosen protocol, a socket API was created that describes the operation of SCTP, based on RFC 6458. It also describes the transport protocols that are similar to the protocol that was chosen to improve performance, namely TCP and UDP, their strengths and weaknesses, and what has been improved in SCTP.
