Implementation and comparison of performance of various EGPs and IGPs with traffic management

There are mainly two types of routing protocols, static and dynamic. Static routing manually sets up the optimal paths between the source and the destination computers. On the other hand, the dynamic routing uses dynamic protocols to update the routing table and to find the optimal path between the source and the destination computers. Dynamic routing protocols can further be divided into two main categories- Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) and Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs). IGPs such as RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) are used for routing within an autonomous system (group of networks under a common administration) whereas EGP is used to exchange routing information between the autonomous systems. BGPv4 is the current EGP used in the internet. In this paper we have implemented various topologies in different autonomous systems and also evaluated various traffic management parameters in order to minimize the problem of congestion.
