Análisis comparativo del protocolo BGP en IPV4 e IPV6 para la transmisión de servicios web dentro de un escenario básico

Abstract

This research was carried out to comparatively analyze the behavior of BGP protocol implemented on Internet protocols IPV4 and IPV6, to determine which version shows a better performance in the transmission of FTP and RTP Web services. The BGP protocol over IPV4 and IPV6 has been set to the same test environment, this has allowed to implement a DUALSTACK scenario, so it has been possible to perform measurements on transmissions of FTP and RTP protocols on the same network conditions, using four desktop PCs configured as BGP routers in three different Autonomous Systems with limited data channel, all thanks to free hardware resources; and, just as free software applications to perform traffic generation and analysis of packets generated from four computers used as network hosts, thus recreating the conditions in an actual production network. The results obtained indicate that the implementation of BGP on IPV6 presents relation slight improvements in its application on IPV4, dispite not having used mechanism to ensure the quality of services. BGP is concluded that improves the information transmission of protocols FTP and RTP giving priority to communication between routers inside and outside an autonomous system; however, it is recommended to correctly select the scenario and traffic to be analyzed, because of the different nature when it comes to Web services.
