Throughput, Smoothness Analysis of SCTP Over AODV and DSR MANET Routing Protocols

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network of mobile-mobile node that has no fixed routers. In MANET, mobile nodes can communicate via the wireless interface while nodes are moving freely without using the network infrastructure. Each node in addition to functioning as a host, also serves as a router that can receive and forward packets to next the node. Nowadays existence of a new Internet protocol technology, that is, SCTP, the performance in a MANET Routing Protocol is still unknown. The general objective of this research is to analyze and make the comparative performance of Stream Control
Transportation Protocol (SCTP) with Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) using Network Simulator(NS-2). Specifically, this research (1) to measure the behavior of SCTP in terms of throughput and smoothness and (2) to determine routing protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) will have significant effect in SCTP. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) issued a new protocol called SCTP; the interaction of SCTP will be investigated through the examination of traffic flows through a number of network topologies. This research use Network Simulator 2 (NS-2), type of the traffic is CBR and packet size is 1000. This performance analysis is over MANET Routing Protocol that enables to analyst the several performance metrics such as Throughput and Smoothness. This topology consists of 16 nodes placed in a 1500m x 1500m rectangle because the researcher uses
static topology, consisting of a 4x4 metric with SCTP transport layer and using routing protocol AODV and DSR. The data sent consists of five speeds at 5 m/s, 10 m/s, 15 m/s, 20 m/s, 25 m/s, and then these speeds are used in AODV and DSR simulation. Throughput of SCTP over AODV is highest than DSR and the smoothness of SCTP over DSR is highest than AODV depends on five types of speed. This research it was found that MANET did not have a great impact on the throughput of SCTP. In other words, MANET only amounted to 0-2% impact on the throughput of SCTP. Furthermore, the speed of node movement does not significantly affect the smoothness.
