Diseño y simulación de una red MPLS para interconectar estaciones remotas utilizando el emulador GNS3.

Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to understand the MPLS technology, with a design that simulates the implementation of a network interconnecting remote stations of a company X, clearly describing the advantages and benefits of the same. The simulation GNS3 will help you interact with different equipments, protocols, topology and configuration that are used in real time, which could be applied in real components, without having any problem when you connect, install and program them as it was done in the simulation. After implementing it was evident that the MPLS protocol allows a mix between the routing process and resending data. Additionally, it was verified that it work in conjunction with the BGP protocol to allow overlapping routes in MPLS cloud. It was identified how to save resources and physical ports when implementing MP-BGP in cloud provider by using the Route Reflectors, after confirming these resolutions it can be concluded that the implementation of the technology studied brings benefits to providers, mainly in terms of saving processing capabilities, hardware, decreased delay fluctuations, and packet loss, the network also provides higher throughput, increased reliability and data transport between three geographically distant points, but belonging to the same network.
