Inter-domain routing in integrated LTE and WLAN networks

Abstract

The integrated LTE and WLAN Networks provide flexibility to use the Internet in Rural areas of India where their network infrastructure is not available. The research article focus to provide Internet service to the rural area end-users with a certain level of defined QoS as per ITU and TRAI guidelines. The selection of the best-suited routing protocol may have the capacity to help to achieve our objective. In the integrated network, it is much common to use a diverse variety of inter-domain routing protocol for forwarding packets by routing table updates. These tables are part of the memory of routers that help to forward packets from source to destination using their routing algorithms so that more users may experience QoS. This paper evaluates the performance of Bellman BGPv4, Inter OSPFv2, and Inter RIPv2 in terms of Routing Overhead for the integrated networks under a virtual QualNet 9.1 network simulator scenario.
