1. Title of Project:
Analysis of Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)
2. Abstract:
Routing is an important part of a network that allows the carriage of data over networks. Each
routing protocol has different characteristics, performance, topology, and algorithms to ensure
reliability. Data is moved across different networks and handled by different protocols inside and
outside of different Autonomous Systems (AS). A reliable, secure, and fast network platform based
on the correct configuration of protocols. In this project, we will perform redistribution between
different types of networks to do analysis between them and evaluate the performance It's about
finding the best combination of protocols for any complex situation to achieve fast and reliable
connectivity.

4. Introduction:
Most networks you'll come across will only use one routing protocol, such as OSPF or
EIGRP. Perhaps you will come across some old tiny networks that are still using RIP
and need to be upgraded to OSPF or EIGRP. What if you own a company that uses
OSPF and you recently purchased another company whose network uses EIGRP?
We will likely have many routing protocols, in this case, we will need a way to
communicate routing information between them. This is referred to as redistribution.
We will investigate some of the problems we come across. What are our plans for our
metrics? OSPF uses cost, while EIGRP uses K-values, the two are incompatible also
Hop count is used by RIP to overcome the problems of this scenario we have to
perform a practical analysis.
Problem statement:
To understand and analyze problems that affect communication between different
protocols of IGP while redistribution.
Here, in short, besides our existence of huge info about routing protocols, we want to
independently have our own research. by the end of our analysis, we are very keen to reach a
desirable conclusion and experience.
Proposed System:
All steps will be done with the help of networking virtual tools and real tools exists in our campus
computer labs.
 Overviews of entire routing protocols
 A study of IGP
 Configuration of given scenarios
 Comparison using simulation and testing tools
This study will increase general awareness of IT students about routing and efficient transmission
and configuration of different network (autonomous).
5. Project Design:
To analyze each protocol, we must create a virtual lab using simulations applications which will
have two stages.
A Lab Creation & Installation of Testing Tools
B Testing and Sampling
a). Tools:
This is a very important part for application that which you using because it is really matter:
 Wire Shark & Solar Wind

Applications for analyzations
 Networking Real & Virtual Labs (Packet Tracer and GNS3)

To create labs
 Operating System

We use Windows & Virtual Machines
b). Work schedule:
The creation of lab for testing and analyzation process is very important part for developing project
that will be completed on time, this project will be start from 01 May 2022 and will be completed
on the going below table.
In the first week of our project, we will start literature review of previous findings then we follow
the following scheduling for our project:

6. Conclusion:
Interior routing protocols like EIGRP and OSPF are broadly getting used along with the simple
protocol RIP. In this project, we will have an evaluation and analyzation of routing protocols
EIGRP and OSPF. The evaluation will be accomplished through using virtual testing software to
examine each protocol. The performance will be measured on the premise of a few parameters that
will be affects connectivity.
