IF update - 16: removing augmented data types

#Remove d #augment ed interface #data-types and related #routine s from IF module. These contain redundant data-structures and their support routines. The functionality of these are #complement ed by the #standard #logical-interface #data-structures and newly added support #routines.

GMPLS interface update - 2: added MPLS interface external API

Added #MPLS-interface #external #API routines in GMPLS module. This enables to #create / #remove #MPLS-interface related #hierarchical #entries through a single API. The standard GMPLS interface entries are also created indirectly through these routine calls. The MPLS interface handle will be using these routine calls to create the MPLS-interface as the side effect of creating the corresponding logical-interface in the IF module. The MPLS interface entries #contain the #attribute s like #current range of #in-coming / #out-going #label s used and the #bandwidth #state.

GMPLS interface update - 1: added MPLS interface create/remove sequence

Added #MPLS-interface #create / #remove #sequence in GMPLS module. This enables to #create #MPLS-interface s #through the #IF #module #interface #management operations. On creating the MPLS logical-interface in the IF module the corresponding interface is created in the GMPLS module through the logical-interface handler routine. On removing the MPLS logical-interface in IF module, corresponding operations are performed in GMPLS module accordingly. The #MPLS-interface #activation and #ADMIN-STATUS operations are performed in the GMPLS module #through the appropriate logical-interface #handler #routine s defined by GMPLS module for the same, and the triggers for these operations are passed from the IF module to GMPLS module through these handlers.

IF update - 15: updating logical interface references in system

#Update d #reference s to the #logical-interface in all the #module s as well as in the IF module. This removes the earlier #augment ed #type and #replace s them with the #standard #interface #type. All the modules which currently performs the interface related operations has been updated to reflect this change.

IF update - 14: updating logical interface stacking handler

Updated the #logical-interface #stack #handling routines in IF module. The #stacking #change #handler routines has been #upgraded for the new data-structure changes. The interface stacking change handler will #check with the #upper and #lower #interface #layer s #on #create / #remove operations for each stack slice. e.g. On adding a #TE-Link over an #ethernet port the port capability (L2/L3/MPLS, bandwidth, MTU, duplexity, etc ...) and it's current state (OPER-STATUS) is checked. On creating the TE-Link TE-Link bandwidth is deduced from the lower layer ethernet port speed/bandwidth. On removing an GMPLS / #MPLS-tunnel, the earlier reserved bandwidth is returned back to it's lower layer #MPLS-interface and #TE-Link. These operations are supported through the interface stack change handler.

IF update - 13: updating logical interface status handler

Updated the #logical-interface #hierarchical #status #handling routines in IF module. The #status #change #handler routines has been #upgraded for the new data-structure changes. The hierarchical status handler #propagate s the interface #status #from the #lower interface #layer s #to the #higher #layer s. The interface #stacking enables the interface status to be decided based on the lower layer component interfaces. The interface status will depend on it's own #ADMIN-STATUS, #interface-type dependent #procedure s and #lower layer #interface #OPER-STATUS.

GMPLS update - 8: optimizing GMPLS interface configuration entries

#Hard-link ed #GMPLS #interface #configuration through #standard #interface #entries in GMPLS module.
