Performance Evaluation of Dynamic Routing Protocols on Video Streaming Applications

A number of publications discuss similar research [1],[2] [3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8], however, a very few of them worked on comparison and analysis of protocols such as EIGRP and OSPF on real-time, bandwidth intensive network applications. Past studies on different routing protocols such as EIGRP, OSPF and RIP have been done based on simulation [3], in which, authors concentrated on comparative performance and detailed simulation study on IP networks. Numerous researches have been published on the behaviors of OSPF and EIGRP [1],[9] and how VoIP performance is affected by their routing characteristics [10]. These studies contributed potential insights of interior routing protocols. This paper has similar approach and works towards that direction.
