Dynamic Routing Protocols. Creating Stability and Reliability through Evaluation and Comparison - Anonymous - Bog

Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 1,5, , language: English, abstract: The main objective of this study is the empirical analysis of the evaluation and comparison of dynamic routing protocols regarding their stability and reliability. An especially close look will be paid to EIGRP, OSPF, and RIP; RIP (Routing Information Protocol) being one of the oldest routing protocols still in service.

A routing protocol is a protocol which is responsible to determine how routers communicate with each other and forward packets through an optimal path, travelling from source node to destination node. Each routing protocols performs in different ways. They have their own architecture, route to follow and sometimes even delays in packets. OSPF builds a database of routes to its neighbors, using an algorithm to calculate the best possible path. EIGRP is a vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network to help automate routing decisions and configuration.
