Performance Analysis of Mesh Based Enterprise Network Using RIP, EIGRP and OSPF Routing Protocols

Abstract

Computer network communication is quickly growing in this pandemic situation. Phone conferencing, video streaming and sharing file/printing are all made easier with communications technologies. Data transmitted in time with little interruption become a significant achievement of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A massive network is interconnection computer networks in the globe connected by the Internet, and the Internet plays a critical role in WSNs. Data access is a key element of any enterprise network, and the routing protocol is used to transmit data or access data. Due to the growing use of WSNs, it is essential to know about the network structure, the routing protocol. The routing protocols must be used to route all data sent over the Internet between the source and the destination. Which chooses the optimum routes between any two nodes in an enterprise network. This research focused on how the routing table will determine the optimum path/route of data packets to be transmitted from source to destination. The performance of three routing protocols, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), is investigated in this research for the massive mesh based enterprise wireless sensor network. We also investigated the behaviors of end-to-end packet latency, convergence time on flapping connections and average point-to-point throughput (bits/sec) between network links. Finally, the simulation results are compared to the efficacy and performance of these protocols implemented in the wireless LAN and internet-based wireless sensor network.
