When designing a network, one of the most important decisions you have to make is determining which routing protocol is best suited for the design of the network that you have created. I thought in this article I would create a simple table with some basic information in regards to some differences and similarities between two of the more popular, widely used routing protocols out there: RIPv2 (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First). Below are some of the more important aspects of each routing protocol and hopefully they will aid you in choosing which protocol best suites the design of your network.
As you can see, OSPF looks to be the more beneficial routing protocol of the two to use. In a later article, I will discuss the similarities and differences between OSPFv2 and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and from there, we can determine which of the two, under your network's circumstances, would be the most beneficial routing protocol to use for your network.
