Diseño y comparación de redes de acceso MPLS y Metro Ethernet integradas a un backbone MPLS para un proveedor de servicios y realización de un prototipo base

Abstract

In this project a comparative study is made between MPLS and Metro Ethernet (ME) access technologies with MPLS backbone to determine the benefits of one technology over the other, according to the offered services to users. Services that each can offer users are described. Implementation features of E-LINE / E-LAN and services layer 3 (L3 VPN) for voice, data and video are compared. The theoretical principles of VPN, MPLS, ME implementations networks with VLANs and Q in Q and ME QoS considerations in MPLS networks is exposed. The design of an access MPLS and MPLS / ME network for a service provider in the cities of Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Manta, Machala and Ambato, integrated into an MPLS backbone is made. A scalability study in delivering services for each technology and a cost comparison while implementing the network designed for each technology is carried out. A prototype with network devices required for emulating the delivery of services to users in a real-time network access for MPLS and MPLS / ME was prepared and results between the two scenarios are compared. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for the project are shown.
