A rapid growth in the internet network technologies claims for a better routing protocol in transmitting data. The network performance is evaluated to compare the two Link State (LS) routing protocols which are the Open Shortest Path First version3 (OSPFv3) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS). The evaluation is done in terms of the performance in the network convergence through an extensive research and simulation. Both routing protocols are simulated using the same Dijkstra's shortest path first algorithm in calculating the best possible path to bring forward a packet to a particular destination. Riverbed Modeler network simulation software is used to investigate the related findings. Thus this research proves that IS-IS outperforms OSPFv3 in most cases, specifically, in the convergence issue. Therefore, IS-IS is more efficient and scalable compared to OSPFv3 depending on the particular network usage.
