Análisis y medición del tráfico en redes ip inalámbricas mediante herramientas prtg y mrtg

Abstract

Network traffic refers to all the data or packets that circulate through the network at a given time or moment, the use of wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, is now common and every day improvements and new technologies are created to make communication faster and lead to improvements in the quality and service of the network. The network traffic analysis is performed first hand to get an idea of what kind of traffic, packets or data transiting through a network, this analysis is done mainly by software or a monitoring application which help us to identify upload and download speeds. The Technical University of Machala. UTMACH is an institution of higher education that gradually seeks quality improvement in order to have an optimal technological infrastructure. For this reason, it seeks to improve the service of its network throughout the Faculty of Civil Engineering. FIC, which is distributed in three blocks, Block 1 has cubicles, offices, laboratories of the career of Information Technology, Block 2 has laboratories of Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering and also with cubicles, and Block 3, consists of the library of the faculty and 18 classrooms that are used for the 3 careers that exist within it. The objective of this degree work is to measure the traffic of the FIC network using two tools that are optimal to meet this objective, which are PRTG and MRTG. An assessment is offered through a study analysis of the FIC infrastructure and the measurement of wireless network traffic in order to determine any improvement within it. The work in condition to the analysis of the requirements and needs of the Faculty of Civil Engineering is presented as a solution to the problems that constantly maintains the wireless network due to the poor location of wireless devices in turn it is recommended to add another type of wireless technology in order to configure the network with QoS and thus have an optimal performance for students of the FIC. In the FIC there are problems with the wireless network and in some areas the signal is null, for this reason it is required the implementation of a technology called IEEE 802.16d since currently there is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n technology which is one of the most common technologies used by any entity and institution. The degree project consists of several parts where all the important information regarding the wireless networks of the FIC is compiled so that in addition to reaching signal to all points also has an improvement of bandwidth, network traffic and so students have a good quality navigation and can take full advantage of it, giving priorities through QoS to applications and pages of academic relevance. Through the proposed change of technology in their networks, it is also included the improvement of their network coverage so they will have as a benefit an optimal and efficient network for their different areas and uses.
