Analysis of VoIP over MPLS VPN using OSPF and IS-IS as IGP

Members:Luis Duran

The main goal of this capstone project is to analyze the behavior of MPLS VPN with respect different

performance metrics like VPN delay, VPN load and throughput. To accomplish this task VoIP traffic is used

across the IP QoS enabled MPLS VPN backbone that consists of interior gateway protocols (IGP) OSPF,

IS-IS, and exterior gateway protocol (EGP) BGP. OPNET modeler is used in this project to design and

simulate the proposed scenarios.
