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.

LAG upgrade - 19: updating standard extended member port agent mapper routines

Updated #standard #extended #member #port 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 extended member port entries #embedded in the standard #member #port entries and there by removing the redundant indexing. The standard extended member port entries contain #attributes like the #custom #destination #address for the #LACP control and marker #PDUs.

LAG upgrade - 16: optimizing standard extended LAG member port entries

Updated #standard #extended #member #port agent mapper routines in LAG module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard member port entry based #indexing. This will access the port entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the standard member port statistics indexing used earlier. The extended entries add support for #attributes like #custom #destination #address for the #LACP control and marker #PDUs, these will #default to the standard #Slow_Protocols_Multicast address.

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 - 18: adding new TE-Link address based index

Added #new #address #based #indexing on the #TE-Link in the TED module. This will enable to #query TE-Links #based on their configured #address (i.e. #IPv4, #IPv6 or #un-numbered). This will be useful in many parts of the system as external to the stack the TE-Links are always identified by their assigned address. Support has been added for #multi-address scenario on the same TE-Link.

TED update - 16: adding extended addressing parameters in TE-Link address entries

Added #extended #addressing #parameters with #link-address entries in TED module. The address information has been extended by including the #address #prefix length and the #un-numbered address support. The address #prefix allows to represent #ranges of #address in link-address entries. The #address-prefix holds the #prefix #length of the specified address in the entries. The #un-numbered addresses are represented by #address-unnum parameter. Along with the un-numbered address the #parent #IPv4 #address is also included in the entries. The new parameters allows to represent wide range of address in a compact way and variety of address types are added in the link-address entries.

TED update - 14: adding standard TE-Node ASN/ICC based look-up methods

#Added #standard #TE-Node #ASN / #ICC address based #look-up methods in the TED module. This enables to access the #TE-Nodes in the network based on the #ASN based addressing or the #ITU-T based #ICC #addressing scheme. The #ASN based address scheme involves an #autonomous-system-number ( #ASN ) and the #node-id. This is also referred as the #IP-compatible addressing scheme. In the #ICC addressing scheme the TE-Nodes are addressed by #country-code ( #CC ), #itu-t-carrier-code ( #ICC ) and the #node-id. The new look-up mechanism uses #independent ASN address and ICC #address #mapping methods. This enables to access the TE-Nodes in either of the addressing schemes.

TED update - 10: adding local and remote IP address based index for TE-Link

#Added #local and #remote #IP #address based #index for #TE-Link in TED module. This will enable to #access the #TE-Link entry based on it's #local-ip-addr and #remote-ip-addr #indexes. This will help to look-up TE-Link entries from the address information. The IP #address on the TE-Link can assume #IPv4, #IPv6 or #un-numbered address #types. The #local #address part of the TE-Link is an #operator #configuration and #remote address part is #dynamically updated as part of the #signaling. The remote address can also be statically updated by the operator in certain scenarios. This helps to efficiently map the TE-Link entries from the address index.

TED update - 2: added standard TE-Link management framework

Added #standard #TE-Link #management #framework in TED module. This adds the facility for #create / #modify / #remove #TE-Link s. The #attribute s like #max-available-bandwidth, #address, #metric, #protection-capability, etc ... on the TE-Link are maintained in the framework. The operator can configure TE-Link #switching-capability-descriptor ( #SC-Desc ) and #shared-resource-link-group ( #SRLG ) information on TE-Links. Also #unreserved-bandwidth on the TE-Link is also maintained in this framework. Similarly the SC-Desc, and unreserved-bandwidth information is maintained for the elementary #component-link s of the TE-Links.
