Abstract

The choice of a suitable routing protocol for implementation is an important part of every network design. During routing protocol implementation, several decisions are considered in order to select the best protocol for deployment. These decisions are usually taken on the basis of some quantitative parameters that are used to determine which protocol will perform better than others whenever there are different routing protocols available. The routing protocol with the best performance in terms of these parameters is considered the most suitable protocol and is selected for implementation. In this paper, performance of two routing protocols (OSPFv3 and IS–IS) for IPv6 has been measured and compared by simulation using Riverbed Modeler Academic Edition. Performance evaluation is based on convergence duration, IPv6 packets dropped, throughput, link utilization and queuing delay as the main parameters. The main objective of this paper is to compare both protocols and to evaluate their performance in order to determine which of them will be the more suitable one for routing network traffic in IPv6. In order to achieve the objective of this paper, two scenarios were used: OSPFv3 scenario and IS–IS scenario. Both scenarios were simulated against the chosen parameters. Overall, simulation results have shown that IS–IS performed better than OSPFv3 on the basis of convergence time, link utilization and queuing delay. OSPFv3 on the other hand performed better than IS–IS on the basis of network throughput. On the basis of IPv6 traffic dropped, IS–IS performed better than OSPFv3 when the simulation started. However, before the simulation ended, OSPFv3 dropped the least IPv6 traffic.
