ABSTRACT: Currently, the increasing network connectivity is becoming more and more complex and the
integration of several services continues to appear. These approaches need a
guarantee in terms of throughput, the performance of which they potentially
impact. So, the basic aim of this research is to get the best MPLS network
performance towards linux and FreeBSD operating systems. This is why in this
report, we have worked on MPLS network performance, which will help to identify
performance metrics. To evaluate the performance, we used those operating
systems implementing the MPLS architecture in order to define the best
performing between the two on this domain. For this, we used scapy to measure
the response times by varying the size of the packets sent and validate the
measurements with the MATLAB Simulink. After all experiments, we realized that
FreeBSD operating system is more reliable than linux in MPLS network base.
