Rediseño de puntos de intercambio de tráfico (ixps) de la red de Aprosva

Abstract

This research project deals with the Redesign of Exchange Points or IXP for its acronym in English, through the research have been determined the problems presented by the ISP members of Aprosva, in addition to generating a proposed solution based on the correct configuration of equipment and protocols that allow the interconnection between different ISP and an exchange point that allows access to the benefits it offers. Currently, there are Transit and Peering agreements that determine how the networks are interconnected and the traffic that flows through them is managed. The main objective of the research is to demonstrate the improvements and benefits that an ISP can obtain by connecting to an IXP, for which a survey of information of each of the members of the IXP that are part of Aprosva has been carried out, determining the current configuration they have, the equipment they have, the protocols and other software resources they have, then the topology of each of these IXP was simulated, thus obtaining the most important parameters that influence the performance of a network. This redesign was based on the configuration of Mikrotik equipment, BGP protocol configuration, adequate routing filters, the advantages of having public IPs and an autonomous system number. Finally, a proposal is presented in which the technical and economic benefits of connecting to an IXP have been determined.
