Diseño de la arquitectura de red de datos jerarquizada basada en tecnología MPLS-TP para la Empresa Eléctrica Riobamba S.A.

Abstract

The objective of the master final project was designing a data network architecture based on MPLS-TP technology for the EERSA, for the supervision and control of information data to be transmitted through the company´s communications networks through a network topology based on in a hierarchical architecture of three layers: access, distribution, and core.

The access layer that is responsible for providing entrance to the network of terminal equipment (RTUs, IEDs, among others). The distribution layer that is responsible for providing connectivity based in policy, routing functionality, and control of limit between the access and core layers. And the core layer is responsible for aggregating traffic from distribution layer devices and managing high- speed transport of enormous amount of data between equipment´s in different regions of the network and outside of it.

Once the architecture was proposed, the analysis of technical characteristics that must be met by the equipment that makes up the network was conducted in accordance with the infrastructure installed in EERSA, such as a Fiber Optic network. The Implementation of the MPLS-TP data network is recommender, and thus migrate existing networks with SDH technology, taking into consideration the current infrastructure.
