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 - 79: updating custom computed-path agent mapper routines

Updated #custom #computed-path agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #computed-path entry based #indexing. This will access the computed-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom computed-path indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom computed-path entries. The custom computed-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 - 67: optimizing custom computed-path parameter entries

Updated #GMPLS #custom #computed-path #parameter agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #computed-path entry based #indexing. This will access the custom computed-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom computed-path indexing used earlier. The custom computed-path parameter entries has been embedded in the standard computed-path entries. The custom computed-path #entries add support for #attributes like GMPLS #forward-label, #reverse-label, etc ...  These labels are computed and populated as part of the path-computation operation. The custom computed-path #entries add support for #media specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) by maintaining the GMPLS #label-type and #label-value #attributes.

GMPLS update - 62: optimizing standard GMPLS computed-path entries

Optimized #standard #extended GMPLS #tunnel #computed-path #entries in GMPLS module. This removes the #extended #path-hop #attributes like flags indicating whether #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label are present or not, the #labels them selves and the #pointers to the external labels. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the #GMPLS #computed-path-hop entries. The hard-linked #custom GMPLS #computed-path-hop entries provides #alternate custom #parameters which satisfies the same requirement.
