Effect of routing protocols and layer 2 mediums on bandwidth utilization and latency

Abstract

Computer networks (CNS) are progressing as emerging field in information and communication technology (ICT). Various computer networks related problems relies on performance of computer network specifically bandwidth utilization and network latency issues. CNS especially Routing protocols play a vital role for management of network resources as well as for managing the network performance but on the other hand these have adverse effect on performance of network. Network routing protocols, bandwidth and latency rate of any computer network are tightly bounded with each other with respect to network performance. This research is being conducted to analyze the relationship between performance of different protocols, their effect on bandwidth utilization, and network latency rate using layer 2 medium. After analysis of relationship of these parameters suggestions will be made for enhancement of network performance over layer 2 medium.
