In modern internet period, communication networks are developing very quickly. To offer effective routing in the network, routers play a significant role. Routing is the mechanism of transporting data from source to destination node. Routing chooses suitable route in the network and propagate a packet over the network to a device on a different networks and it depends on routing protocols. Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) are the prevalent interior routing protocols for these type of networks. This paper shows a simulation based analysis of these kind of protocols. We employed the combination of RIP&IS-IS, EIGRP&IS-IS routing protocols on the Hybrid network for revealing the benefit of one protocol over the other as well as the robustness of every protocol combination and how this is evaluated. To conduct the network simulations, we employed Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET) v16.0. The comparison analysis depends on various parameters that decide the robustness of these protocols. We utilized HTTP object response time, throughput, e-mail download response time and database response time parameters to evaluate the routing performance of the network.
