Engenharia de tráfego aplicado à simulação de uma rede backbone de um provedor de internet regional utilizando o protocolo MPLS TE

Abstract

Traffic rates on current internet providers have increased considerably due to the increasing presence of fiber optic links. With this scenario, the current challenges for ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are no longer related to transmission speed, but to guarantee quality of service (QoS - Quality of Service) for applications that require more criteria in transmission. data, such as lower delay, jitter, packet loss, among others. This work aims to implement, through the EVE- NG simulation software, a network based on a backbone topology of a provider in the city of

Castanhal, in the State of Pará, in order to compare the traffic performance for two types of services (Streaming and VoIP), using traffic engineering mechanisms provided by the MPLS protocol, also called MPLS TE. (Multi-Protocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering). Through the simulations, the traffic for these two services will be evaluated in a scenario without and with MPLS TE implemented. The results obtained show an optimization of the traffic in the network scenario with MPLS TE, through the determination of explicit paths in the backbone network for different types of traffic.
