Describes SCTP, its security and highly efficient transport mechanism and its characteristic that makes it superior to existing protocol such as TCP and UDP, analyzes the delay performance of SCTP comparing withTCP. In addition, the possible application scenarios and the prospect of SCTP are also described.

Key words: transmission protocol, signalling transport, SS7, SCTP
