DESCRIPTION :

Routing protocols determine the best route to transfer data between network nodes. In this project, we plan to simulate various protocols: Routing Internet Protocol (RIP), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). Simulation scenarios are designed for each protocol. We plan to use Riverbed Modeler to simulate the system behavior and analyze the performance of the protocols when applied to real time applications.
