Routing performance analysis based on real time application / Nurul Farehah Md Mahtar

The purpose of routing protocols is to determine the usable routes on the network, construct the routing tables and create routing decisions. In this project, the routing protocols that chosen are Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). The aim of this project is to improve the network system in term of better performance by selecting the right routing protocols among EIGRP and OSPF for real time application such as video streaming and voice conferencing. Based on studies and literature review on this project, it reveal that there are still lack of analyzing on more parameters of network performance and used OPNET Modeler as the technique of the simulation. So, the purpose of this study is to define the comparison of network performance in term of throughput, jitter, convergence time, packet loss and end to end delay. Before the performance can be analyze and compared, network models are created and simulated using OPNET Modeler. These network models are designed based on three situations which are EIGRP alone, OSPF alone and combination of OSPF and EIGRP. The objective of this project is achieved and completed. The results show that the performance EIGRP routing protocol is better than OSPF and combination of OSPF and EIGRP routing protocol.
