Introduction:

U.S. government agencies realised the importance and potential of Internet technology many years ago, and have funded research that has made possible a global Internet. Officially named the TCP/IP Internet Protocol Suite and commonly referred to as TCP/IP, it can be used to communicate across any set of interconnected networks. These networks function via Routers. Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) is a generic description that refers to an algorithm that interior routers use when the exchange network reachability and routing information. One of the most widely used IGP's is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The underlying RIP protocol is a straightforward implementation of distance-vector routing for local networks. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a new protocol that tackles several goals. It is a link-state algorithm which uses SPF to compute shortest paths, and also scales better than a distance-vector algorithm. In this report, I will put these......
