Abstract
The convergence time of a network is very essential to a network. Networks that converge faster are
considered to be very reliable. Users of the network appreciate it when they are always able to access
resources. The research was carried out to compare the convergence of two routing protocols namely RIP and
EIGRP. Network scenarios were created and a simulation was performed using packet tracer to measure the
convergence times of both protocols separately. Results indicated that EIGRP had the fastest convergence
time and both protocols’ convergences were not affected by a change in topology. This will help network
administrators in their choice of protocols
