OPEN SHORTEST PATH FIRST SIMULATOR BY USING JAVA RMI

摘要

In essence, internet protocol is the most essential component of communication system for data transfer and routing. Routing is achieved by routing protocols. Researchers have defined different protocols to make routing more reliable. In this paper main focus of research is to explore the Open Shortest Path First protocol and develop a simulator to explain the functionality of OSPF. This project Simulator has been developed by on the basis of Java RMI. The main reason behind using Java RMI is to develop a robust system such that simulator can easily replicated original idea of OSPF. This project implements the complete OSPF protocol such as creation of routing table on the basis of minimum cost, find shortest path, load balancing etc. This project also implements concept of distributed system . The JAVA features have been used and RMI remote objects are used as routers to simulate different routers and interfaces.
