Impact of MD5 Authentication in Secured and Non-Secured Traffic Routing for the Case of EIGRP, RIPv2 and OSPF Routing Protocols

Routing is the process of forwarding data across an inter-network from a designated source to a final destination. Along the way from source to destination, at least one intermediate node is considered. Due to the major role that routing protocols play in computer network infrastructures, special c...
