Abstract

In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze the steady state behavior of RIP and OSPF routing protocols for WAN in terms of convergence duration with respect to simulation time in the context of link failure and recovery using OPNET simulator. The time that is required for the network to converge is referred to as convergence duration. Convergence is one of the key factors that determine the performance of the routing protocol. From the experimental results we found that convergence activity and convergence duration is maximum for OSPF and minimum for RIP.

Keywords
