Question

Out of three prominent advance transport protocols (TCP, UDP and SCTP) which is the best to use and why should i use that protocol ?

Answer 1

It is very difficult to suggest without knowing your application requirement, features and need. All three protocols has their own way of getting the work done.

Will suggest you few links which can give you some info of all three protocols. Depends upon that you can go for your decision. Otherwise please provide the full details if i can suggest you.
