Networking has evolved immensely in recent years. With the increasing need to distribute applications across multiple networks, and the availability of high capacity, high-performance intermediate switching nodes and networks, the core requirement has become an efficient routing mechanism. Standard based protocols have become a requirement of the networks of today. Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol are currently deployed dynamic routing procedures which are used to circulate network topology data to adjoining routers. Choosing the right procedure to route depends on a number of factors. The simulator software cisco packet tracer shows the impact of routing protocol for different types of applications in hierarchical and flat structures. In this research work, it will evaluate OSPF and EIGRP's routing behavior regarding their hierarchical and flat structure, and will also consider parameters such as bandwidth and delay.
