Routing_Protocols_RIP_OSPF_and_BGP

The document discusses routing protocols, specifically RIP, OSPF, and BGP, highlighting their functions in sharing network reachability information. It explains the differences between static and dynamic routing, with a focus on the characteristics and advantages of each protocol, such as OSPF's faster convergence compared to RIP. Additionally, it outlines the distinctions between RIPV1 and RIPV2, emphasizing improvements in message handling and support for classless addressing.

Routing Protocols

(RIP, OSPF, and BGP)


Presented by.
TAMFU DIVINE G.
• A routing protocol is the language a router
speaks with other routers in order to share
information about the reachability and status
of network.
• Routing Metric(cost): metric is a variable
assigned to routers as a means of ranking
them from the best to worst or from most
preferred to least preferred.
In a computer network, the transmission of data
is based on the routing protocol which selects
the best routes between any two nodes.
Different types of routing protocols are applied to
specific network environment.
• Three typical types of routing protocol are
chosen as the simulation samples: RIP, OSPF
and BGP.
• RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is one of
the oldest routing protocols still in service. RIP
Treats each network as equals i.e The cost of
passing through each network is the same.
• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is the most
widely used IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) for
large enterprise networks. It allows
administrators to assign a cost for passing
through a network based on the type of serviced
required.
• Each router applies the Dijkstra algorithm to form
its link state database.
• BGP(Border Gateway Protocol) is an inter-
autonomous system routing protocol based on
the path vector routing method.
• Static Routing and Dynamic Routing .
• Protocols can fall into two groups:
• static routing and dynamic routing.
• Static routing is simply the process of manually
entering routes into a device’s routing table via a
configuration file that is loaded when the routing
device starts up.
• In static routing, all the changes in the logical
network layout need to be manually done by the
system administrator.
• Dynamic routing allows routers to select the best
path when there is a real time logical network
layout change. In our project, we will discuss the
difference between the BGP, RIP and OSPF. All of
them are dynamic routing protocols.
• RIP is a standardized vector distance routing
protocol and uses a form of distance as hop count
metric. It is a distance vector.
• A distance vector routing protocol uses a distance
calculation and a vector direction of next hop
router as reported by neighboring routers to
choose the best path.
• Typically, the maximum number of hops allowed for
RIP is 15.
• Since the maximum number of hop counts allowed
for RIP is 15, as long as the number goes beyond
15, the route will be considered as unreachable.
• OSPF is an interior Gateway Protocol used to
distribute routing information within an AS
(Autonomous System).
• OSPF is the most widely used routing protocol in
large enterprise networks.
• OSPF is based on link-state technology by using
Dijkstra algorithm which calculates the shortest
path.
• It is worth noting that OSPF packets are
encapsulated in IP datagrams.
• The cost (metric) of OSPF is the cost of sending
packets across a certain interface. The formula to
calcite the cost is: cost= 10000 0000 /bandwidth in
bps. If the bandwidth is wider, the cost would be
lower.
• BGP is an inter-autonomous system routing
protocol based on the path vector routing
method
• i.e the path is not based on the smallest hop
count or the minimum metric but on the
policy imposed on the router by the
administrator.
• BGP message are encapsulated in TCP and it
uses the services of TCP on port 179.
• Advantages/Comparison.
• Compare to RIP, OSPF has no limitation due to hops (RIP
has a limit of 15 hops so any network with more than 15
hops cannot be achieved by RIP.
• OSPF can handle Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) but
RIP cannot.
• The most important is that OSPF converges much faster
than RIP due to its calculation algorithm.
• BGP is the fastest amongst the 3.
• OSPF and RIP has much longer initialization time than BGP.
• RIP has a very slow convergence(a change somewhere in
the internet) and its unstable.
DIFFERENCE B/W RIPV1 AND RIPV2
• RIPV2 does not augment the length of the
message of each entry.
• RIPV2 only replaces those fields in RIPV1 that
were filled with 0s with some new fields.
• RIPV2 support classless addressing and CIDR.
• RIPV1 uses broadcasting to send RIP message
to every neighbor WHILE RIPV2 uses the
multicast address 224.0.0.9 to multicast RIP
message only to RIP routers in the network.
