TED update - 17: adding new TE-Link parameters

Added #new #parameters on the #TE-Link in the TED module. The new #attribute #indicates whether the #TE-Link #crosses an #autonomous-system or an #area - i.e. AS / Area #border #link. An #admin-flag parameter has been added to the TE-Link to mark this information. Also the existing #te-adjacency-enable and #te-distribution-scope parameters has been added as #admin-flags to compact the parameters. When computing a path which crosses AS / Area boundaries these changes helps to specifically search and find border links in the network. This helps in faster and efficient path computation.

TED update - 15: adding new parameters in custom TE-Node entries

#Added new parameters in #custom #TE-Node entries in the TED module. This include the #node-type for indicating the type of the node as #node, #area or the #autonomous-system, the #node-area which identify the area of the local node in a #multi-area #network, the #node-xc-type to indicate that the node has only a #fixed #cross-connect and can not be #reconfigured, and the #node-label-distribution-enable which identify whether or not to #signal the #label related node #capabilities to other nodes. The area and autonomous-system level #summarization #nodes uses the #node-type to indicate the summarization level. The nodes which has a #fixed #connectivity #matrix will limits the way in which the #input port can be connected to the #output #ports. For these kind of nodes the #node-xc-type is set as fixed. Also it is possible to convey the node level #label #constraints to the neighboring nodes to assist in better #path #computation operation. On setting the #node-label-distribution-enable flag the node passes the label constraints to the respective signaling modules.
