The advancement in communication systems and networks has led to a growing need to share routes information between routing instances, especially in networks configured in dissimilar routing protocols. Thus, route redistribution is without doubt, an important part in IP network design. The first part of this thesis began with the study of routing protocols and network topologies. Route redistribution was demonstrated; the configuration of route redistribution between classful and classless protocols was later clarified using Cisco Packet Tracer program. In the outcome of this project, designs were made for numerous hybrid mesh-ring network topologies configured in different routing protocols. Route redistribution was successfully performed using boundary routers. All forms of route redistribution scenarios were studied, and their behavior was critically modelled in real-time video conferencing application using industrial simulation software, Optimized Network Engineering tool, OPNET Modeler. Protocol performance metrics such as convergence time, end-to-end-delay, jitter and queuing delay were used to analyze that the hybrid topology of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and the Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) has the best performance in simple networks. The hybrid network of EIGRP and the Route Information Protocol (RIP) has the poorest performance both in simple and complex networks. The integrated mesh-ring topology of the EIGRP and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) performs best in complex networks.
