How To Grow Fast and Increase Your Network Size: Fitel Network Case Study - Spain

The Fitel Network case study describes how the company optimized their network by deploying the Splynx ISP billing system, redesigning their core network to allow 10G throughput, registering AS and IPv4 address space, and deploying BGP. They added additional routers and split the load using OSPF and BGP for redundancy and failover to address a challenge where customer reconnects caused high CPU usage.

HOW  

TO GROW FAST AND INCREASE YOUR NETWORK SIZE   


WITH SPLYNX ISP FRAMEWORK

FITEL NETWORK CASE STUDY | SPAIN 


The company has had its own wireless network for 2 years with
over 1,000 subscribers connected.
At the end of 2017, the Fitel team started to deploy fiber optics.
Fiber was installed in the main urban locations of the city of Lloret
de Mar. The topology that the technical management team decided
to use is FTTH and FTTB, with GPON technology. Currently, the
network is designed to connect over 10,000 fiber ONT devices.
Services that are provided to end-users include VOIP and Mobile
connections. 
The company connects companies and residential customers that pay on a monthly basis
(recurring) and has a number of customers who come to Lloret de Mar for a vacation and
pay for services in a prepaid mode.
The Fitel Network was optimized by deploying the Splynx ISP billing system, redesigning
the core network to allow 10G throughput, registering AS and IPv4 address space and
deploying BGP services for their customers.

Challenge
Once a day at around 4pm, several customers
reconnected their PPPoE sessions, which caused the
CPU activity to jump from 30% to 100%, and, as a result,
the router stopped responding to new PPPoE requests.
Also, it started to disconnect dozens of already-
connected PPPoE customers.

Solution
Adding additional CCR Mikrotik routers and split the
load between different routers. Use OSPF and BGP
protocols for redundancy and failover.

Existing Topology Result


1. Wireless network. All users connect through the The Fitel Network business was
network on L2 bridges up to a CCR router. Customers optimized by deploying the Splynx ISP
have UBNT CPE equipment billing system, redesigning the core
2. Fibre network. A Huawei MA5608 router is connected network to allow 10G throughput,
to a MikroTik CCR router with two Gigabit interfaces. registering AS and IPv4 address space
3. MikroTik CCR1036. The router was connected via a and deploying BGP in the network
10G port to the uplink with PPPoE and NAT server
running on it.
Case Study

Description of design :
PPPoE servers are connected to the same switch on the same VLANs, which means
that users from fiber and wireless networks can connect to one of three PPPoE
servers at the same time. The advantage of this approach is scalability and failover. If
one router fails, customers can automatically reconnect to the two remaining PPPoE
routers.
PPPoE routers are linked with Splynx Radius server. When a customer connects to
router1, he gets the IP from the pool, which is dedicated for this certain router. OSPF is
used to redistribute /32 PPPoE routes to BGP router.
BGP router announces public prefixes to the Internet and routes traffic between two
Internet providers. Uplinks are 10GB lines.

The initial topology looked as in the picture provided below:

Topology after the change was implemented:

General Director & CEO of Fitel Network S.L.:

Many hours of work, some days without sleep, all


efforts are rewarded by the core of Fitel Network,
which is prepared to compete with the big operators
in IP traffic of 10G, implementation of BGP, OSPF,
PPPOE servers, routing, implementation of security
policies, and also the implementation of the software
for ISP. A special thanks to SPLYNX team, Alex
Vishnyakov and Paul Gerhardt for their dedication and
for believing in this great project.
