This document compares the performance of link recovery between the EIGRP and OSPF routing protocols through simulation. It finds that EIGRP has faster retransmission times than OSPF when there is a failure in a data transmission link. Specifically, before a link fails the average transmission time is 17.5ms for OSPF and 17.1ms for EIGRP, and after a link fails the times increase to 29ms for OSPF and 28.4ms for EIGRP. Therefore, the research shows that EIGRP has better performance than OSPF in retransmitting data after a link fails.
