GMPLS update - 48: optimizing standard extended GMPLS tunnel entries

Optimized #standard #extended GMPLS #tunnel entries in GMPLS module. #Reduced some of the #address #variables used on the GMPLS tunnel entries and #removed the pointer to the #extra #parameter. The addresses used for the #RSVP #Notify mechanism has been reduced. These include the #upstream-notify-recepient, #downstream-notify-recepient, #upstream-notify-request-address and #downstream-notify-request-address. The downstream-notify-request-address is the address sent out in the PATH message for requesting the downstream nodes to sent Notify messages when needed, also the upstream-notify-request-address is the address sent out in the RESV message for requesting the upstream nodes to sent Notify messages when needed. The upstream-notify-recepient is the address received in Notify Request in the PATH message from the upstream - which is the default value used in the corresponding downstream-notify-request-address - similarly the downstream-notify-recepient is the address received in Notify Request in the RESV message from the downstream - which is the default value used in the corresponding upstream-notify-request-address. The upstream-notify-recepient is kept in the #PATH #state-block and downstream-notify-request-address in the #outgoing #PATH #state-block. The downstream-notify-recepient is kept in the #RESV #state-block and upstream-notify-request-address in the #forwarded #RESV #state-block. The extra parameters are not used as extended tunnel entries are already in place.

TED update - 17: adding new TE-Link parameters

Added #new #parameters on the #TE-Link in the TED module. The new #attribute #indicates whether the #TE-Link #crosses an #autonomous-system or an #area - i.e. AS / Area #border #link. An #admin-flag parameter has been added to the TE-Link to mark this information. Also the existing #te-adjacency-enable and #te-distribution-scope parameters has been added as #admin-flags to compact the parameters. When computing a path which crosses AS / Area boundaries these changes helps to specifically search and find border links in the network. This helps in faster and efficient path computation.

TED update - 13: optimizing TE-Link link-reservation entries

#Optimized #TE-Link #link-reservation entries in TED module. The #reservation #priority has been added to the link-reservation entries, so that #preemption feature can be optimally implemented for #path #computation procedures. The #link-reservation #index has been made #compact by removing the 4 integer indexes and #replaced them with a #generic 16 byte #wide #index. This helps to keep traffic-engineering module to be less specific to the MPLS framework, as the generic index can be used from other modules as well. Also this makes link-reservation database more easily usable. The #preemption is used for #high #priority #path #setup #requests in the #traffic-engineering module. Preemption is used when #resource #crunch is experienced on a TE-Link for these requests. The #previously placed #low #priority resource #reservations will reused for performing current high priority request. The existing low priority reservations of will be either #teared #down or #moved to a different TE-Link. The bandwidth that got available from handling the low priority reservations will be used for current high priority path setup request.

When the #cross-connect is between TE-Links of #different #media #types, a possible #media #conversion has to be performed as per the #adjustment-capability information configured. Hence the TE-Links involved in a cross-connect may be part of same media layer or different media layers. On nodes with #hardware #constraint on link cross-connect this information will be useful in expressing the limitation. This could be used to #compute #path for #tunnel #LSPs in complex networks.

TED update - 6: renaming standard TE node entries

Renamed #standard #TE-node entries in TED module. The TE-node configuration entries has been made straight forward by correcting it's name. The TE-node entries contain #attributes like #node-id, #autonomous-system-number ( #ASN ), #country-code ( #CC ), #itu-t-carrier-code ( #ICC ) and a local node index for unique reference. This enables to refer the nodes in the network using either using the ASN or the ITU-T based ICC addressing scheme. This also serves as a #database of all #known #nodes in the system. When new nodes gets discovered by the TE signaling modules (e.g. OSPF-TE, ISIS-TE) a dedicated entry will be created for each node, so that it can be referenced in remaining parts of the system (e.g. endpoints of TE-Link). The TE-nodes will be referenced as source, destination or the intermediate nodes of an tunnel LSP path.

GMPLS update - 4: added standard MPLS LSR management framework

Added #standard #MPLS #LSR #management #framework in GMPLS module. This adds the facility for #create/#modify/#remove #LSP #in-segment/#out-segment s. The operator can #create/#modify/#remove #cross-connect s between the in-segment s and out-segment s. There are separate configuration entries for managing #MPLS enabled #interface s in the LSR. The #label-stack on the segment s can be separately configured and maintained in the LSR.

GMPLS update - 1: created new GMPLS and TED modules in the system

Created #Generalized #Multi-Protocol #Label #Switching ( #GMPLS ) and #Traffic #Engineering #Database ( #TED ) modules in the system. The GMPLS module will assist the operator in creating transport paths - #tunnel s - in the network. The TED module will hold the information about the network necessary for planning resource optimized paths - tunnel s - in the network and provides  traffic engineering capability to GMPLS module. With the help of TED the GMPLS module will create transport #Label #Switched #Path s ( #LSP ) in the network with optimum resource ( e.g. #bandwidth ) utilization.
