GMPLS update - 85: updating standard GMPLS actual-path agent mapper routines

Updated #standard GMPLS #actual-path agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #actual-path entry based #indexing. This will access the actual-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom actual-path indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom actual-path entries. The custom actual-path #entries add support for #attributes like #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label. The #label-type attribute adds support for #media #specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) through the #label-type and #label-value attributes.

GMPLS update 84: optimizing GMPLS Tunnel configuration entries

Updated the #GMPLS #Tunnel configuration #entries in GMPLS module. The GMPLS Tunnel configuration entries has been #optimized to use shorter #variable #names and removed the #length variable for many #multi-size #parameters. This makes uses of short & easier variable names. The memory size of many multi-size variables have been made static and length support has been removed reducing the memory requirement.

GMPLS update - 82: adding new parameters in custom computed-path configuration

Adding new #attributes in custom #computed-path configuration GMPLS module. The new attributes #node-id and #link-id adds support for specifying the #path #segment with respect to the #TE-Node and #TE-Link. This helps in describing the tunnel path using the nodes and links along the way. The #address information of the individual links are #automatically #populated based on the specified node-id and link-id configuration. This adds support for specifying the tunnel computed-path without knowing the address information, but using only the links on the way.

GMPLS update - 80: optimizing tunnel session attribute

Updated #session-attribute parameter for #MPLS-Tunnel in GMPLS module. The parameter size has been fixed to specific bytes and hence the #length variable for the parameter has been removed. The agent handler for this parameter has been updated to remove the variable length from use. This reduces the memory required to hold the session-attribute parameter. The session-attribute will keep track of the parameters like #fast-reroute-enabled, #merging-permitted, #persistence-enabled, #route-pinned, #record-route, etc... The fast-reroute-enabled parameter enables the upstream node to safely reroute the tunnel on a downstream link or node failure using a local-repair mechanism. The merging-permitted parameter enables the transit routers to merge the tunnels with the same destination, this is used on a resource crunch or better scaling of the network. The persistence-enabled parameter causes to automatically retry to reestablish the tunnel on a failure. The route-pinned parameter causes the dynamically computed path to be used permanently as an explicit-path. The record-route parameter causes the transit routes to be recorded and send back to the tunnel head-node.

GMPLS update - 77: adding new set of custom tunnel configuration parameters

Added new set of #custom #configuration #parameters for #tunnels in #GMPLS module. The new parameters are #reroute_upstream_enable, #upstream_resource_index, #crankback_model, #crankback_enable, #crankback_list_index, #softpreemption_enable, #oam_enable and #oam_status. The reroute_upstream_enable controls the capability to reroute the tunnel from upstream node and procedures to request reroute. The crankback_model indicates the specific model being followed by the stack e.g. end-to-end-rerouting, boundary-rerouting or segment-rerouting and crankback_enable controls whether crankback operations are permitted or not. The softpreemption_enable parameter enables the soft-preemption procedures - when needed. The oam_enable enables/disables OAM procedures on the tunnel.

GMPLS update - 68: adding asymmetric bandwidth parameter in custom tunnel entries

Added #new #parameters in #custom #MPLS-tunnel #configuration in #GMPLS module. The #reverse-resource-index optional parameter has been added to tunnel configuration. When present it specify the #resource #requirement for the #reverse #direction, other wise resource requirement is assumed to be same for both directions as the normal #resource-index parameter. This enables to specify #asymmetric #bandwidth for #forward and #reverse #tunnel directions. In normal cases forward and reverse directions shares the same resource requirements. But in specific scenarios it is necessary to specify unequal bandwidths for forward and reverse directions. The new parameter caters this requirement and enables to specify different resource configuration for each directions.
