Comparison of IPv6 Dynamic Routing Protocols on Routing Hole Handling

This electronic document is a “live” template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet. The increasing demand for IPv6 in the future is a challenge for building a stable network. The development of the enterprise network requires better and more stable performance with other branches. In the construction of inter-branch networks, a dynamics routing protocol is needed that can connect between these networks. Connections between branch networks can drop due to a link failure called a routing hole. Therefore, it is essential to compare the performance of the IPv6 routing protocol in dealing with the occurrence of routing holes. This paper compares the performance of routing protocols RIPng, OSPFv6, and EIGRP in routing hole handling. In this study, several test scenarios were carried out using GNS3. The results showed that EIGRP got the best results for delay and packet loss in all scenarios.
