Abstract

We investigated the performance of the transport layer Stream Control Transfer Protocol (SCTP) for streaming video over CDMA2000 cellphone and data wireless networks. The hypothesis was that SCTP would be able to improve the quality of streamed video over UDP under the same memory requirements. The study involved a series of simulation experiments and measurements in a testbed on the Telecom NZ CDMA2000 network, to test the performance of video streaming under SCTP and under UDP. Results and conclusions will be presented.

This is the final presentation of Lee Begg's Masters Thesis.
