Packet switching communication networks employ routing
protocols to determine the path traversed by each packet as
it passes through the network. Routing protocols which are
adaptive and can restructure the packet paths in response to
localized network congestion ace called "dynamic" routing
protocols. Dynamic routing protocols seek to optimize the
routing (provide the shortest path) for each packet in the
network. Routing protocols which are unaffected by the
addition or deletion of any subset of nodes are called
"distributed" routing protocols. The relative performance
of two distributed, dynamic routing protocols is determined
using computer simulations. Tia protocols are implemented
on four theoretical networks and tested under a range of
network traffic loads.
