Abstract

Quality of Service in a network is a big thing that must be resolved and dealt with as best as possible. The limitation of the maximum transfer rate in network devices creates an obstacle in the process of transferring data packets. To maximize the transfer rate in network devices, you can use Virtual Link Aggregation which can offer bandwidth optimization and failover in the network. Link aggregation is a solution in combining several physical links into one logical link. The method used in this research is to consider the allocation of bandwidth, load balancing and failover in the link aggregation. From the results of the link aggregation test using two (2) interface bonding, the results of the bandwidth averages when there is a UPD data packet transfer to 0 bps / 184.9 Mbps, which was previously around 0 bps / 91.6 Mbps. While the result of the bandwidth averages when the TCP data packet transfer occurs is 0 bps / 105.5 Mbps, which was previously around 0 bps / 93.8 Mbps. Link Aggregation using a Mikrotik Router is a solution to produce a larger Throughput Bandwidth by combining two (2) Ethernet Physical Links into one logical link.

Highlights

  • Stability and reliability of Quality of Service in a network seems to be a big thing that must be resolved and dealt with as best as possible

  • Link Aggregation itself is a method used to combine more than one interface in order to get a greater bandwidth speed [3], and the use of Link Aggregation can increase the speed of data packet transfer in the network to be twice or more than the previous speed [4] link aggregation is a method for building bandwidth connections using logical links that include a number of physical links [5]

  • The use of Link Aggregation in previous studies was able to reduce the occurrence of throughput, delay and downtime [8] ], and can improve network quality when viewed from the delay, jitter or throughput [9] [10] [11]

Summary

Introduction

Stability and reliability of Quality of Service in a network seems to be a big thing that must be resolved and dealt with as best as possible. 1. Bandwidth Testing Scenarios Without Bonding The first test scenario is to test the connectivity to determine the performance in the network before implementing Link Aggregation Bonding.
