Comparative performance evaluation of RIP with OSPF routing protocol

Routing protocols are a set of rules used by routers to exchange data between source and destination devices. There are quite a number of routing protocols, out of which, Routing Information Protocol and Open Shortest Path First routing protocols play a dominant role in the internet for optimal data transfer and communication paths in the network. This research paper will basically discuss the performance evaluation of wired routing protocols Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) & Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Also, this paper will use network performance metrics traceroute for the performance evaluation of these routing protocols and discuss the most appropriate routing protocols for small and large-sized network design.
