QUESTIONS:
1.0 Obtain and analyze the graphs that compare the sent RIP traffic for the Failure and
NO Failure scenarios. Make sure to change the draw style for the graphs to Bar. [5
marks]
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 figure. In Failure scenario, we created a link failure where more traffic is
sent and set time is 0.00025 seconds to fail the simulation. In result the RIP in effected nodes
send out an update of their routing table to place that failure.
2.0 Change the Ping packet size to 5000 bytes (Hint: Edit the attributes of the Ping
Parameters node). Run the simulation to generate a new Ping report. What is the
effect of the new size on the ICMP packet response time? [5 marks]
The ICMP packet response time will be affected if the Ping packet size is changed. If the
size of byte increases, so the time response is faster and also vice versa.
CONCLUSION [5 Marks]
In this experiment, we had done to configure and analyze the performance of Routing
Information Protocol model. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely-used protocol
for managing router information within a self-contained network such as a corporate local
area network (LAN) or an interconnected group of such LANs. RIP is classified by the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as one of several internal gateway protocols (Interior
Gateway Protocol). Using RIP, a gateway host (with a router) sends its entire routing table
(which lists all the other hosts it knows about) to its closest neighbor host every 30 seconds.
RIP uses a hop count as a way to determine network distance. Each host with a router in the
network uses the routing table information to determine the next host to route a packet to for
a specified destination.
RIP is intended for use within the IP-based Internet. The Internet is organized into a
number of networks connected by special purpose gateways known as routers. The networks
may be either point-to-point links or more complex networks such as Ethernet or token ring.
Hosts and routers are presented with IP datagram’s addressed to some host. Routing is the
method by which the host or router decides where to send the datagram. It may be able to
send the datagram directly to the destination, if that destination is on one of the networks that
are directly connected to the host or router. In this experiment, we had test the performance of
different scenarios.
