Abstract

In this paper we present the development and validation of an experimental platform based in open source software and the development of a package for monitoring purposes. Also we show a group of tests executed on this platform and their results, which intend the validate the functioning and support for future research which includes new ideas in the NGN (Next Generation Networks) topics, such as QoS (Quality of Service) mechanisms, traffic characterization and MPLS (Multi-protocol Label Switching) hybrid routing. We believe that the procedures shown in this paper, may give other research groups an overview of the primary steps for the implementation of a research lab with similar interests.
