Evaluation of Routing Protocols based on Performance
Ullas Gupta · 2013
In a network, various routing protocols are used to forward packets. Each router maintains a routing table which stores the information of its neighbors. The extent of information stored about the network depends on the routing it follows. This information is regularly sent on the network to find the efficient path between the source and destination. Thus every protocolconsumes a part of the network resources forthis transmission. This paper tries to find themost efficient protocol that is best suited for anetwork based on its performance parameterslike latency, throughput, convergence time andother factors.
