This paper proposes adding Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) mechanism into SCTP chunks (INIT chunk, and INIT-ACK chunk) to reduce the delay of transferring important data during congestion as compared with the TCP and UDP protocols. This paper also discusses the details of adding ECN, and the reason for choosing Random Early Detection (RED). Through the experimental analysis, we compare SCTP enabled ECN in INIT-ACK chunk to SCTP without ECN enabled in INIT-ACK chunk and demonstrate the result of ECN impact on SCTP delay time. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79960304325&doi=10.1007%2f978-3-642-22389-1_26&partnerID=40&md5=6bb300db0fa8f51a0a3ab0fbfc285977 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-642-22389-1₂₆ full_text_status: none publication: Communications in Computer and Information Science volume: 188 CC number: PART 1 place_of_pub: Ostrava pagerange: 288-297 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783642223884 issn: 18650929 citation: Tahir, H.M. and Md Said, A. and Elhalabi, M.J.M. and Puteh, N. and Othman, A. and Muhd Zain, N. and Md Dahalin, Z. and Ismail, M.H. and Mohd Zaini, K. and Zabidin Hussin, M.
