Comparison of Routing Protocols RIP, OSPF and EIGRP

Kamal Grover, Palak Bansal, Ranjan Venkatachala Shetty

ABSTRACT In communication network, routing protocols are used to determine the shortest path to destination. In this paper we are comparing the performance of RIP, OSFP and EIGRP routing protocol and then suggesting the best routing protocol for the given topology [1]. EIGRP, OSPF and RIP are the dynamic routing protocols being used in the practical networks to propagate network topology information to the neighboring routers [2]. We have implemented OSPF protocol for inter- networking between networks of a company present in different locations around the world. The headquarters of the company is present in Mumbai and Boston. After the implementation, the comparison is made by using different researches and simulations of OSPF routing protocol between routing protocols. Finally, it is concluded that choice of routing protocol depends on different critical parameters like convergence time, scalability, memory and CPU requirements, security and bandwidth requirement etc. Keywords:Communication network, Protocols, routing
