GMPLS update - 58: optimizing standard in-segment entries

Optimized #standard #in-segment #entries in GMPLS module. This #removes the #attributes like #pointer to #extra #parameters. The hard-linked #custom #in-segment entries provides the extra #parameters on the segment which satisfies the same requirement. The custom in-segment entry holds attributes like in-label. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the in-segment entries.

LAG upgrade - 25: removing custom aggregator create API

Removed #custom #aggregator #create / #remove API in LAG module. The custom aggregator entries are #embedded in the #standard #aggregator entries and the standard aggregator create / remove API already handles the required functionality. Hence the redundant external API is being removed.

LAG upgrade - 24: removing custom member port create API

Removed #custom #member #port #create / #remove API in LAG module. The custom member port entries are #embedded in the #standard #member #port entries and the standard member port create / remove API already handles the required functionality. Hence the redundant external API is being removed.

LAG upgrade - 23: updating custom member port parameters agent mapper routines

Updated #custom #member #port parameters agent routines in LAG module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #member #port #based #indexing. This will access the member list embedded in the member port and there by removing the redundant indexing. The custom member port entries holds the attributes like the #port-aggregator-group, #LACP-enable, #LACP-passive-enable, #LACP-slow-timer-enable, #dynamic-key-management-enable, etc ...

GMPLS update - 57: optimizing standard out-segment entries

Optimized #standard #out-segment #entries in GMPLS module. This #removes the #attributes like #top-label, #pointer #to top #label and #pointer to #traffic #parameter. The hard-linked #custom #out-segment entries provides #alternate #parameters which satisfies the same requirement and the traffic parameters are derived from the associated tunnel LSP. The custom out-segment entry holds attributes like #swap-label and #top-label. The removed standard attributes support only few media types, but the custom attributes supports #label-types for different media types. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the out-segment entries.

GMPLS update - 56: optimizing standard GMPLS actual-path entries

Optimized #standard #extended GMPLS #tunnel #actual-path #entries in GMPLS module. This removes the #extended #path-hop #attributes like flags indicating whether #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label are present or not, the #labels them selves and the #pointers to the external labels. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the #GMPLS #actual-path-hop entries. The hard-linked #custom GMPLS #actual-path-hop entries provides #alternate custom #parameters which satisfies the same requirement.

GMPLS update - 55: adding standard tunnel activation handler

Added the #tunnel #activation #handler in GMPLS module. This will change the #tunnel #state as #active / #not-in-service effectively #enabling / #disabling the tunnel operation. On activating the tunnel depending on the tunnel type further actions will change. For a #static tunnel, the #bandwidth #reservation will be performed on the lower links and the #external #paths will be found in that process. The #cross-connects and the #segments will be created and they will be further made active, effectively cascading the activation operation. For #dynamically #signaled #tunnels the signaling modules will take over the further operations.

GMPLS update - 54: updating standard extended tunnel agent mapper routines

Updated #standard #extended #tunnel #parameter agent routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #tunnel #based #indexing. This will access the extended tunnel entries #embedded in the standard #MPLS #tunnel entries and there by removing the redundant indexing. The extended tunnel entries contain attributes like the #opposite-dir-tunnel pointer, #tunnel-index and the #tunnel-instance for the reverse tunnel, etc ...

LAG upgrade - 22: updating aggregator activation handler

Updating the #aggregator #activation handler in LAG module. The references to the augmented aggregator data-structures has been updated to the standard aggregator data-structures. This allows to directly use the #standard #aggregator data-structure and use the #embedded custom aggregator data-structure for internal operations. The #status related parameters are kept in the custom data-structure and on aggregator status #change these are updated as #active / #not-in-service. When aggregator are not ready to participate in the normal operations because of inconsistency in the applied configuration the state is set as #not-ready.
