LACP upgrade - 11: updating member port distribution and collection handler

Updated #distribution and #collection #handler for #member-ports in #LACP module. The handler #enables the collection and distribution operations #sequentially on each port. After an #aggregator port is selected to be #attached with the member port member port moves to the #synchronized #state with the peer port. i.e. both peer agrees that same aggregator link is used for attaching from both peer systems. Once the synchronization is attained the handler #enables #collection operation on the member port and the #HAL #calls will be done for enabling collecting operation in the #hardware as well. Once this is done, informs the peer about this with an updated LACP PDU. Once both the peers are collecting data from each side of the link for the same aggregator port the #distribution operation will be started on the member port by the handler in the next step. The #HAL call will be done and the updated LACP PDU will be sent to peer to inform them as well. Once both collection and distribution operations are enabled on the member ports the link will be fully participating in the aggregation operation.

LACP upgrade - 6: updating member port aggregator attach handler

Updated #member #port #attach #handler with the aggregator in the #LACP module. This handler make the #hardware calls to #attach the member port with the selected aggregator and mark the member port state as attached. The #remote #peer is informed of this by sending a #new #LACP #PDU and peer is marked as #synchronized. Later, when peer responds with it's PDU the actual #distribution and #collection operations will be #started for member ports. On attaching the member port with the aggregator the LAG distribution and collection operations will be started in hardware. i.e. The traffic sent out on the aggregator port will be distributed to the member ports and traffic received on the member ports will be collected on to the combined aggregator port.

Ethernet phy update - 15: phy port cleanup

Added corrections in #provider #bridge ( #PB ) #phy #port #handler routines in bridge module. Updated provider bridge internal LAN ( #ILAN ) - between provider edge port ( #PEP ) and customer network port ( #CNP) - #create / #remove routines. Also updated provider backbone bridge ( #PBB ) provider instance port ( #PIP ) #attach / #detach operations on with the #bridge #component and customer backbone port ( #CBP ) #activation handler.

Ethernet phy update - 12: added component level phy port attach / detach routines

Added #phy #port #attach / #detach #routine s for component in ethernet module. This will #handle the #hierarchical #processing associated with phy port attach / detach operations.

Bridge MAC learning & forwarding update - 4: adding support for more use-cases

Added #transparent #port #configuration #handling in #use-case s like bridge port removal and phy port attach / detach operations in ethernet module. On #bridge #port #removal from the attached component #cleanup calls has been added to #remove #transparent #port #configuration from the port. On #bridge #phy #port #attach / #detach operations on components respective operations has been performed to #add / #remove #transparent #port #configuration from the port.

Bridge port update - 4

Re-sequencing #bridge #port #logical-interface #attach / #detach operations with respect to bridge #port #activation in ethernet module. These changes will try to attach with the logical interface when port is getting activated. On removing the port from bridge component the logical interface is set to detach from the bridge port.
