Performance Analysis of Routing Protocols Implemented in a Company Network

摘要

Various routing protocols like RIP, IGRP, EIGRP& OSPF are used in a network topology for forwarding the packets. Every router in a network maintains a routing table for successful delivery of packets from source to destination nodes. The information stored by router is purely dependent on the algorithm followed by it. Here in this paper the main focus is on analysing the performance of therouting protocols on the basis of the cost of delivery, no. of updated required, amount of overhead on each router, failure recovery, resultant throughput of the system& delay. This research is done to find out which protocol suits the best for the network and through a thorough analysis I have tried to find the pros and cons of each protocol.
