This document discusses evaluating the performance of using the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) for SIP signaling compared to the traditional UDP. It describes developing a DCCP agent and SIP traffic for the NS-2 network simulator to simulate SIP call setup over DCCP and UDP. The simulation results show that DCCP has lower call drop rates than UDP and less variation in call setup delays, indicating DCCP may be a preferable transport for SIP signaling over UDP.
