PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF DYNAMIC ROUTING PROTOCOL RIP BY COLORED PETRI NET

Abstract

The models of the procedures, which are stipulated by dynamic routing protocol RIP, were constructed. Their efficiency was estimated on backbone networks’ models. Models are built in the form of colored Petri nets in the environment of simulation system CPN Tools. The basic network components are: the basic model of IP-router, router port, component, which implements the RIP protocol, network scheme. Basic models of terminal networks were used for investigation of IP network quality of service parameters. The comparative analysis of IP networks efficiency with dynamic and static routing tables was made. The estimation of the useful bandwidth for different types of loads was obtained. It is shown that the RIP protocol consumes a small part of network resources, while increasing the useful load. The technique is applicable for the dynamic routing protocols choice and optimization of their parameters, as well as the development of new dynamic routing protocols.
