Performance Evaluation of Wireless Routing Protocols: RIP vs OSPF

Throughout the recent years, the network routing protocols play a vital role in forwarding network packets from the source node to the destination node. This paper will discuss and compare the performance evaluation of two wireless routing protocols which are OSPF and RIP respectively. The comparison will be conducted by performing network simulation on the NetSim software. The main aim of this paper is to come up with a conclusion on which routing protocol is better based on the application metrics obtained from NetSim simulation such as throughput and delay. Moreover, it is also important to prove if the results obtained from NetSim are accurate based on the researches that have been done is the previous years.
