Abstract

This abstract discusses the examination of routing protocols within IP networks using Packet Tracer. Packet Tracer serves as a simulation tool to analyse the functionality and efficiency of various routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP in an IP network environment. Through practical experimentation and simulation, this study aims to evaluate the performance, scalability, and reliability of different routing protocols under diverse network conditions. The analysis involves assessing factors like routing table updates, convergence time, and resource utilization. Insights gained from this research contribute to enhancing network design, optimization, and troubleshooting strategies, thereby improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of IP network routing.
