Discrete event simulation-based performance evaluation of Internet routing protocols

Abstract

This paper presents a discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based comparative performance analysis between the open shortest path first (OSPF) protocol and the routing information protocol (RIP), together with the border gateway protocol (BGP), using DEVS-Suite. In order to evaluate the OSPF and RIP's scalability performance, several network models are designed and configured with the OSPF and RIP, in combination with the BGP.Evaluations of the proposed routing protocols are performed based on the metrics, such as the execution time, convergence time, turnaround time, throughput, and efficiency across an increasing size and complexity through the simulated network models. The evaluation results show that the OSPF routing protocol provides a better scalability performance than the RIP routing protocol for Internet applications.

Performance Analysis of EIGRP via OSPF Based on OPNET and GNS3

“…There are many routing protocols such as DSR routing protocol, Papaj et al (2013), Wireless Mesh Network WMN routing, protocol (Tan et al, 2013), RIP routing pr oto co l, BGP routing protocol (Celik et al, 2013) and also OSPF protocol which is presented in this study comparing with EIGRP protocol.…”

“…The routing protocol presents the way to transfer the messages from point to point over the network. So, the main purpose of the routing protocol is to transfer the data packets over the network (Celik et al, 2013).…”

Comparison between OSPFv3 and OSPFv2

“…OSPF is classified as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), it bases on link-state routing algorithm [4]. Protocol OSPF is an open standard routing protocol and a particularly efficient IGP that is faster than the RIP [5].…”
