Abstract : Vast usage of Wireless Networks need improvement in capacity and coverage so that user may receive high Quality of Service (QoS), especially for teaching, learning, assessment and administration in Educational setting, hence, efficient Network Routing and Routing Protocol is basically essential. This paper is directed on quantitative and experimental analysis of packet transmission through Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) by routing a message from one node to another within the available nodes in hypothetical Campus Network. Simulation was carried out in MATLAB to demonstrate path determination capability of OSPF algorithm in Campus Intranet Network. Experimental results and analysis showed that Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a suitable algorithm for routing signal by minimizing the delay time, in order to maximize the throughput of data packet.

I. INTRODUCTION
Routing plays a prominent role in directing network transmitted information and/or data packets and to provide quality service in networks [2]. Nowadays, wireless networks are being trusted in every facet of life through modern communication and Internet of Things (IoT), for allowing communication between human and computer [5].
Computer networks are becoming more paramount in today’s learning environment with central role in maintaining and transmitting message or valuable information between the users [15].
It is considered to be ‘intranet’ when its connectivity infrastructure are configured as proprietary and private network, which is only accessible to members of a particular educational institution or any other organization. The frequent use of computer networks requires improvements in network technologies and management techniques to derive Quality of Service (QoS). Major aspect of PC networking that is germane to Quality of Service (QoS) is the packet data routing. There is high demand placed on the network by multimedia, mobile applications and web services, in terms of speed, bandwidth and scalability which had strained the resources of existing internet infrastructures [8]. Most of the algorithms used in WLAN helps define set of protocols to enhance bandwidth utilization and higher throughputs [1].
