The impact of Routing Protocols and topologies on IOT Based Systems

Abstract

Routing protocols is a mechanism of detecting best route path from single node to multiple nodes or signal node in order to transfer data between network and it specify how routing techniques in routers communicate between routers to accomplish communication tasks. A simulation was done to compare some protocols such as ““RIP””, ““OSPF”” and “EIGRB’ to determine the best routing protocol at a specific given network topology for IoT applications. The main problem there is a different routing protocols was developed each has its performance among different IoT applications. As well a simulation was required to detect the perfect routing protocol required for IoT applications. In this project a simulation of “IoT” network that serve the “IoT” applications using different routing protocols such as ““RIP””, ““OSPF”’ and “EIGRB” and an evaluation to the performance of each routing technique was to decide which is the best routing for “IoT” applications. Opnet modular was used to implement the simulation and it is found that the ““IGRP”” has the fastest router convergence among the three protocols we are testing.
