To communicate with each other, routers need routing protocols for sending information. There are several routing protocols used to send information, OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, and IS-IS. Each of these protocols has different algorithms in determining the best path for sending information, this of course makes a difference in the workings and performance of the routing protocol. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the best protocol in a condition in order to obtain the best performance. This study uses the Graphical Network Simulator 3 (GNS-3) application to simulate the actual network using a Mesh topology with 4 routers, 6 routers, and 8 routers. The parameters used as a measurement of the performance of the routing protocol are convergence time and round trip time. The smaller the value of the test parameters obtained from the routing protocol, the better the improved protocol.
