GMPLS update - 55: adding standard tunnel activation handler

Added the #tunnel #activation #handler in GMPLS module. This will change the #tunnel #state as #active / #not-in-service effectively #enabling / #disabling the tunnel operation. On activating the tunnel depending on the tunnel type further actions will change. For a #static tunnel, the #bandwidth #reservation will be performed on the lower links and the #external #paths will be found in that process. The #cross-connects and the #segments will be created and they will be further made active, effectively cascading the activation operation. For #dynamically #signaled #tunnels the signaling modules will take over the further operations.

GMPLS update - 43: adding external API for GMPLS tunnel create

Added changes for #create / #removal of #GMPLS #tunnel #hierarchical #entries in GMPLS module. This involves the #creation of #dependent #configuration #entries as part of #tunnel / #LSP #create operation and #removal of these #cross #references which were created for maintenance of #dynamic #tunnel #state. On creating a tunnel entry, the #statistics entries are created for both #forward and #reverse traffic directions, the #GMPLS #configuration entry, the #extended #configuration entry and the #custom #configuration entry is created. A tunnel specific #error #entry is created to track the detailed tunnel state and the cause for the state.

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.

Bridge VLAN update - 11

Added optimizations for #bridge #VLAN #runtime #database in ethernet module. This enables to specify the set of #egress #ports to which frames received on a VLAN are permitted to sent. The port lists specifies #all #egress #ports and #egress #untagged #ports separately for VLANs and they are sized according to the #dynamic #max_number_of_ports parameter configuration. This will enable to dynamically set the size of egress ports listing for each bridge VLAN. This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list.

Bridge filtering database update - 10

Added optimizations for #filtering configuration of #multicast #MAC #addresses for #filtering-database s in ethernet module. This enables specify the set of ports to which frames received from specific ports and containing specific #multicast / #broadcast #destination #addresses are allowed to be forwarded. The port lists specifying the ports to which matching frames has shall be forwarded and ports to which frames shall be forbidden to be forwarded are sized according to the #dynamic max_number_of_ports parameter configuration. This will enable to dynamically set the size of #member #ports listing for each bridge VLAN. This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list.

This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list. The forward-unregistered port configuration will be either configured statically or dynamically via #MMRP protocol.
