Abstract

The main function of a network layer is to route packets from the source machine to the destination machine. Algorithms that are used for route selection and data structure are the main parts for the network layer. In this paper we examine the network performance when using three routing protocols, RIP, OSPF and EIGRP. Video, HTTP and Voice application where configured for network transfer. We also examine the behaviour when using link failure/recovery controller between network nodes. The simulation results are analyzed, with a comparison between these protocols on the effectiveness and performance in network implemented.
