Dynamic Routing Protocols Analysis based on Dissimilar Number of Packets

Abstract

Efficient routing is one of the key challenges in the design and performance of a large scale intra- domain network. This paper describes the analysis of dynamic routing protocols IS-IS,IGRP,RIP for the scenario which has fifty number of workstations working on three dissimilar applications(Ftp, Remote Login and Videoconferencing) based on increasing number of packets per sec sent. High speed network is the demand of the user in order to perform multiple tasks with reliability so that its performance is efficient that is why we opted for dissimilar number of packets varying from hundred to thousand and analyzed their effects in the performance of LAN. Simulation is carried out with the help of Optimized Networking Engineering Tool (OPNET) which gives the better edge over the other network simulation tools available. The assessment is based on two parameters namely Ftp Download Response Time and Ftp Upload Response Time. The results concluded that that overall best performance can be achieved with the help of IS-IS protocol other than RIP and IGRP for increasing number of packets in the given scenario and hence it is observed that by sending maximum number of packets there is speed enhancement in the given network with high efficiency.
