Performance Analysis of Mesh-Based Enterprise Network using RIP, EIGRP and OSPF Routing Protocols

Computer network communication is quickly growing in this pandemic situation. Phone Conferencing, Video Streaming, and Sharing File / Printing are all made easier with communications technologies. The internet is a vast network of interconnected computer networks that connect the world. In communication networks, the internet plays a critical role. Data access is a key element of any enterprise network. In an enterprise network, the routing protocol is used to transmit data or access data. Which chooses the optimum routes between any two nodes in an enterprise network. All transmitted data through the internet between the source and the destination need to be routed using one of the routing protocols. This research focuses on addressing the path/route of data packets to be sent will be governed by this routing protocol in the form of table routing. A routing table is used in the memory of a router that keeps the track of routes to a particular network destination and the most popular routing algorithms used to forward packets are Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). In addition, this paper presents advances in routing technology that highlight the difference between RIP, EIGRP, OSPF in terms of metrics and other technical aspects.
