Quality of Service EIGRP Routing Protocol on Campus Area Network

Abstract

Quality of Service (QoS) is a method of measurement used to determine the capacity of a network to perform services. One of the QoS implementations is to manage the performance of routing protocol. The routing protocol is a method used to connect one router to another, to convey information correctly and to provide a guaranteed service. This study discusses the QoS of the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) applied to campus area network. EIGRP is a routing protocol which only available on Cisco routers and often refers to the proprietary protocol on Cisco. EIGRP can only be applied by Cisco routers and their fellow. Campus area network is an interconnection of computer networks within the campus area. Data exchange on campus network should be undertaken quickly and precisely to facilitate campus operations. The method used in this study was Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) which consisted of several phases, namely analysis, design, simulation prototyping, implementation, monitoring, and management. The results of this study provided QoS with a throughput value of 77 bps, 0.53 percent of the packet loss value, 1.89 ms of latency, and 1.87 ms of jitter value. This indicates that the EIGRP routing protocol has a strong QoS value to be applied to campus area networks.
