Performance evaluation of hybrid network using RIP & IGRP for different applications

This paper presents the performance evaluation of hybrid network using RIP & IGRP routing protocols for different applications in low load campus network. In this network model, generic LANs models and WLANs are used. In this paper, a simulated environment is created where many applications are in use at a time and their mutual effects thereof. This network model is based on OPNET IT GURU Academic Edition. This model is tested against various types of applications (Email, FTP, & Print Server) in Hybrid Networks. Two routing protocols RIP and IGRP are used to check the performance of Hybrid Network for different applications. This OPNET simulation shows the impact of IP routing protocol for hybrid networks for different types of applications.
