Abstract
MPLS is in discussion since last decade. It has been introduced to improve the performance
and speed of the backbone network. There has been demand for transition from conventional
network to the MPLS network in the service providers network. A comparative study and
performance behaviour of the service providers network with MPLS network under different
traffic conditions with various services is being proposed. An experimentation will be carried
out on MPLS network with different traffic conditions to support the performance analysis on
service provider routers.
There has been significant improvement in the demand for the bandwidth requirement in the
near future. This requires the access network and the backbone network to be significantly
improved with respect to various services. Specifically a high speed network with a
improvement in performance in expected at the backbone network. One of the contenders for
the above problem is MPLS protocols. A network with MPLS protocols will take care of all
the future demands for large bandwidth access for the subscribers. The analysis of the MPLS
protocols has been carried out which has been reported in literature. A performance analysis
of MPLS network under different traffic conditions and under different services is required
before it is deployed in the field. Wireshark ,VLC, Jperf are some open source tools used for
traffic generation and network analysis .
This work proposes analysis of network performance parameter such as Latency, Throughput,
Packet Loss, Jitter with traditional routing and MPLS. Testing scenario is created in with
Service Provider MPLS enabled router and MPLS protocol features are analysed .
