Performance Evaluation of First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) on VRRP, HSRP, GLBP with Routing Protocol BGP and EIGRP

In building network infrastructure, one of the most important things is how the network can handle failure. Network providers, network operators, and other network equipment manufacturers, have targeted network availability of up to 99.999% (“5 nine” availability), which means that a network is only allowed to experience interference for 5 minutes within one year. For this reason, it is necessary to have two or more gateways connected in a network, because if one of the gateways is dead, the other gateways will immediately replace the dead gateways. This study will evaluate the performance of the first-hop redundancy protocol (FHRP) on VRRP, HSRP, and GLBP to determine the performance comparison using the QoS parameters (throughput, jitter, packet loss, dan downtime). The data collection method was using a study of literature and simulation method with 8 stages (problem formulation, conceptual model, input & output data, modelling, simulation, verification & validation, experimentation, and output evaluation). The results of this study indicate that the GLBP has better QoS parameters than VRRP and HSRP.
