Analisis Kinerja EIGRP dan OSPF pada Topologi Ring dan Mesh

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path Fisrt) is the routing protocol that is widely used in a computer network. EIGRP can only be used on devices Brand CISCO, while OSPF can be used on all brands of network. In this study comparison of both the delay and the routing protocol implemented on Ring and Mesh topology. Cisco Packet Tracer 5.3 is used to simulate both the routing protocol. The first scenario is the design of the network and then do the test of time delay 100 times in 5 cases. The second scenario tested trace route to determine the path of the data packet and then disconnect the main link. In the second scenario also conducted a cost comparison of metrics and the simulation results with the calculation formula. The third scenario testing time for each routing protocol convergence on any topology. The result EIGRP faster than 386 microseconds for a ring topology while OSPF OSPF 453 microseconds faster than EIGRP for Mesh topology. The results showed trace route chosen by the routing protocol metric value and cost is the smallest. Average convergence time in the EIGRP topology Ring of 12.75 seconds and 34.5 seconds, while the Mesh topology in an OSPF EIGRP for 13 seconds and 35.25 seconds in OSPF.
