Abstract
Routing plays a critical role in ensuring efficient and reliable data transmission in computer networks. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Routing Simulator, a tool developed to model, simulate, and analyze various network routing protocols under different network conditions. The simulator supports customizable network topologies, real-time packet visualization, and comparative performance metrics for protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP. Through detailed experimentation, the simulator provides insights into protocol behavior, scalability, and fault tolerance, offering a valuable resource for education and research in network communications.
