Survey of the Influence of Routing Protocols to Network Performance Enhancement

Abstract

Routing protocols play a crucial role in the operation of computer networks by determining the optimal paths for data transmission. The selection of an appropriate routing protocol can significantly impact network performance, including factors such as latency, throughput, reliability, and scalability. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the influence of various routing protocols on network performance enhancement. The survey begins by presenting an overview of common routing protocols with their key characteristics. Subsequently, it explores the impact of these protocols on network performance metrics, focusing on their ability to adapt to changing network conditions, mitigate congestion, and ensure efficient resource utilization. Through a systematic review of literature, empirical studies, and real-world implementations, this survey aims to provide network administrators, researchers, and practitioners with valuable insights into selecting and optimizing routing protocols for specific network environments. Additionally, it identifies areas for further research and development to continue advancing the field of routing protocols and network performance enhancement.
