RIP: Routing Information Protocol

Scenario1. failure occurred on router2, router4 get placed of router2 as next hop for router1 to reach other networks. In that case the cost to arrive network 192.0.5.0 and 192.0.6.0 will be 3 from router1 . Therefore to reach to network from router1 to 192.0.5.0, 192.0.6.0 the route must go through from router4, router3 and router2. As it has show in fig3.

Fig1. RIP Traffic Sent (No_Failure and Failure)

In No failure scenario, it shows that routing table we created will build their routing table with no update tables as there is no link failure therefore, the routing table is smooth as show in the above part of the fig1. In Failure scenario, we created a link failure where more traffic is sent and set time is 200 seconds to fail the simulation (200 second equal to 3minutes and 20 seconds). In result the RIP in effected nodes send out an update of their routing table to place that failure. Scenario 2. To understand this scenario we illustrate the router1 routing table to go over the effect on link failure.Router2 is connected to network 192.0.5.0(interface 1), 192.0.6.0(interface2), 192.0.7.1(serial link). The (cost) metric to reach these networks is 1 from router1(as router2 were connected to router1). After link Student Name: Shearz Salim Student ID: 20388626

Fig2. Ping Response Time.

0.0025 sec to 0.00196 sec as show in the Fig2.

Scenario4 To get the require result we make an scenario name it Q3_Recovery where we compares the total number of updates of NO_Failure, Failure, and Q_Recovery. The Q3_Recovery time is set 400 second (6.67 minutes)

Conclusion The lab sheet the RIP updates process and when fail node updates occurred in the network topologies. This lab give a deep knowledge of RIP protocol and to understanding them in real life with complex network. Reference 1.

Fig4. RIP Traffic sent (No_Failure, Failure, Q3_Recovery)

To analysis on the routing table of Q3_Recovery we look at the router1 routing table in fig5. To understand the routing table we will compare the routing result with No_Failure, and Failure scenarios, the observation show that the cost (metric) of all destinations back to the cost showed in No_Failure routing table. Thus Q3_Recovery routing table for the next hop network are 192.0.9.0, 192.0.10.0 and 192.0.12.0(loopback) as it used in Failure scenario that router4 (192.0.3.2) which is not a Router2 as were used in No_Failure scenario. To reach to conclusion Router2 or Router4 give the same cost (Metric) to the above networks as no changes apply the next hop to Router2 cause of either next hops.
