RIP and OSPF Routing Protocol Analysis on Defined Network Software

Abstract

In building a network, routing technology is needed to connect between networks. Software-Defined Network (SDN) is a network paradigm where the control plane is separate from the data plane, making it easier for us to configure on the control plane side, so in this research, a simulation is carried out to determine the performance of OSPF and RIP routing protocols on a small-scale SDN network using an emulator mininet and POX controller. The results of performance testing of RIP and OSPF routing implementations on SDN networks show that the value of service quality with a total of 128Kbps packets on RIP is 1.05Mbps throughput, 0.361ms delay, 0.0118ms jitter, and 0% packet loss. OSPF simulation includes 1.05 Mbps throughput, 0.06708ms delay, 0.0349ms jitter, and 0% packet loss. The results of comparing SDN simulation performance with OSPF routing and RIP routing in service quality prove that RIP is superior to OSPF for jitter parameters. At the same time, OSPF is better than RIP in delay parameters. Simulations were also carried out with the addition of traffic loads with several traffic capacities; from this result, the RIP protocol was better for packet loss and jitter parameters, while for OSPF throughput parameters, it was better. For the delay parameter, OSFP is better for heavy traffic.
