CFM update - 3: optimizing agent framework for VLAN & Component support

Updated the #agent #framework in CFM module for #VLAN & #Component support. The VLAN & Component aware #CFM #framework has been #optimized to use proper #variable #names and removed the #length variable for many #multi-size #parameters. All the VLAN aware part of CFM framework has been upgraded this way. This makes uses of straight forward variable names. The memory size of many multi-size variables have been made static and length support has been removed reducing the memory requirement.

TED update - 20: adding new TE-Link switching-capability index

Added new #indexing on the #TE-Link #based on the #switching-type and #lsp-encoding-type in the TED module. This will enable to #look-up TE-Link based on the #switching-capability-descriptors available on the link. This will be useful when computing #path for #LSPs of specific #switching-type and #encoding-type. The switching-capability-descriptor of a TE-Link is #derived from it's underlying #component #links. This enables to create #TE-Links #over higher capacity #server-layers e.g. #Ethernet capable TE-Links created over #SDH / #OTN server-layers.

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.

Bridge component update - 6

Added #bridge #VLAN #egress #rewrite #status handlers in #bridge #component #status #update #sequence in ethernet module. This will cause the bridge VLAN egress status to be updated as part of component status update sequence. The will cause to #cascade the #status from bridge components to VLAN egress rewrite entries for both #enable / #disable.

Bridge component update - 5

Added #bridge #VLAN #ingress #rewrite #status handlers in #bridge #component #status #update #sequence in ethernet module. This will cause the bridge VLAN ingress status to be updated as part of component status update sequence.

Bridge filtering database update - 5

Added corrections for referencing #bridge #default #VLAN-learning-constraint through the parent #bridge #component in ethernet module. The hard-linked default learning-constraint entries enables accessing them directly from the standard component entries.

Bridge filtering database update - 4

#Hard-link ed #bridge #default-learning-constraint for #VLAN parameters with #bridge #component in ethernet module. This will reduce the memory requirement for default #VLAN-learning-constraint parameters.

Bridge multicast update

Added support for #dynamic #configuration on max_number_of_ports in #bridge #multicast #group #framework on ethernet module. This will enable to dynamically set the size of #member #egress #ports and #learned #ports listing for each bridge #multicast-group. This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list. According to the configured port density on the particular bridge #component the multicast group member port lists will be dynamically allocated.
