In the modern communication networks, where increasing
user demands and advance applications become a
challenging task for handling user traffic. Routing
protocols have got a significant role not only to route user
data across the network but also to reduce congestion with
less complexity. Dynamic routing protocols such as
OSPF, RIP and EIGRP were introduced to handle
different networks with various traffic environments. Each
of these protocols has its own routing process which
makes it different and versatile from the other. The paper
will focus on presenting the routing process of each
protocol and will compare its performance with the other.
Experiments are conducted, using network topology with
topological changes in order to analyze the protocols
convergence activity and how it affects the overall
performance of the network. The simulated results are
analyzed to understand the function of the routing
protocols in various network scenarios.
