GMPLS update - 3: added standard GMPLS TE management framework

Added #standard #GMPLS #TE #tunnel #management #framework in GMPLS module. This adds the #extended #GMPLS #attribute s to the TE tunnel/LSP s. The GMPLS attributes like #switching-type, #LSP-encoding, #payload-type, #protection-type, #directionality, #path-computation-model, etc ... can be specified for the tunnels. Also the #LSP path level information can be separately indicated. The #statistics information of the #reverse #path for #bidirectional #LSP s is specified. The #LSP level #error #logging is also provided as part of the standard GMPLS framework.

GMPLS update - 2: added standard MPLS TE management framework

Added #standard #MPLS #TE #tunnel management #framework in GMPLS module. This adds the facility for #create / #modify / #remove TE #tunnel/ #LSP s. The resource requirement for LSP s can be separately specified as #bandwidth #constraint. The #path #constraint for the LSP s can be specified as explicit route configuration. The #run-time real #path information of the LSP s is also provided as part of the standard framework.

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.
