Evaluación del protocolo MPLS con la aplicación de VPN para mejorar el rendimiento del sistema de transmisión de datos de la Corporación Nacional de Electricidad Regional Bolívar.

Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the performance of the MPLS protocol with the VPN application and verify its influence on the data transmission system of the Bolivar National Electricity Corporation. The gathered information was analysed in the Radio Mobile software, then the topology of the network was made in GNS3, which interacts with the different equipment, protocols, topology and configurations that are used in real time. The Modeller is a scenario where it is designed Network topologies, connected by several routers. The performance evaluation of the network was carried out, proposing six test scenarios for the study of the existing network, with and without the application of the MPLS/VPN protocol, by which it was carried out a quantitative comparison of the evolution of these network topologies. It was statistically analysed using the Chi-square test to verify the validity of the research data, in which it was demonstrated the need to implement the MPLS protocol with VPN to improve the performance of the existing network. It is concluded that with the implementation of the MPLS protocol a saving of processing capacities, physical equipment, low delay, fluctuations and percentage of use is achieved. In MPLS data, the performance of the network and its packet switching are favourably noted, allowing the network to be more secure and reliable in data transmission. It is recommended to use flexible systems such as MPLS with the VPN application to improve the data transmission system.
