Performance Analysis of RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF Using OPNET

Don Xu, Ljiljana Trajković

Abstract

Routing protocols are key elements of modern communication networks. Currently deployed dynamic routing protocols that are used to propagate network topology information to the neighboring routers are Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. The choice of the right routing protocol depends on a number of parameters. In this paper, we use OPNET Modeler to analyze the performance of RIP, EIGRP, and the OSPF protocols, which are commonly deployed in Internet Protocol (IP) networks. We designed various simulation scenarios to compare their performance. 1.
