Performance Evaluation Of Hsrp, Glbp And Vrrp With Interior Gateway Routing Protocol And Exterior Gateway Routing Protocol

The year of 2019 and 2020, saw the world shifting from physical classes, meetings etc., to online mode due to the commence of worldwide pandemic called COVID-19. Due to this, new network infrastructures were required and among the networks, efficient protocols were required in order to ensure 100% uptime and availability. Among the network routing protocols used, it is prudent to find which routing protocol works best with which redundancy protocol, as they have different switching algorithms. Therefore, in this paper, interior gateway routing protocol (OSPF) and exterior gateway protocol (BGP) are being evaluated on their performance with a redundancy protocol (HSRP, GLBP and VRRP). The criterion of measuring the performance includes jitter, downtime, throughput and number of packets lost. The result will help to analyze which first hop redundancy protocol works best with which routing protocol. The result of this study indicates that OSPF has 4.52% better QoS values with HSRP and BGP has 5.12% better QoS values with GLBP.
