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.

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 - 40: adding in-segment activation handler

Added #in-segment #activation #handler in GMPLS module. On activating the in-segment it #enables the #LSP #segment operations on it. i.e. It #starts #receiving the #LSP #labelled #data on the interface. When cross-connect is also activated the received data will switched to the respective out-segments - with the respective out-going labels. And further passed to the out-going interfaces, thus completing the #label-switched #data-path.

MSTP update - 5: added bridge port xSTP activation handler

Added #bridge #port level #spanning-tree #activation #handler in MSTP module. On activating the spanning tree on a port it #enable s #xSTP #protocol operations on it. When disabled the xSTP protocols won't be running on the port.

Bridge MAC learning & forwarding update - 3: adding interface module configuration handler

Added #logical-interface level #transparent #port #configuration #handler in ethernet module. This will enable the configuration changes from the #logical-interface to #phy #port. Operator can arbitrarily #enable / #disable the #MAC #learning & #forwarding on the #interface and new handler will apply the changes in ethernet module on to the #phy #port.

Bridge port update - 12: PCP encoding/decoding admin flag

Added changes in ethernet module for handling the #bridge #port level #admin #flag for #PCP #mapping. The port level PCP mapping flag will #enable or #disable the PCP encoding/decoding #configuration on the port.  This flag will enable #port level #priority #code #point ( #PCP ) #encoding configuration entries and #decoding configuration entries on provider bridges. By default, #CoS and #DEI values as per the translation tables defined in #802-1Q-2011 will be used which can be further fine tuned by the operator.

Bridge port update - 11

Added changes in ethernet module for handling the #bridge #port level #admin #flag for #TC #mapping. The port level TC mapping flag will #enable or #disable the #CoS to #traffic-class #mapping #configuration on the port.  The TC mapping will enable to map CoS on frames to a traffic-class. The mapped traffic class will be used for effective #QoS treatment on the frame. By default, all CoS values are mapped to traffic-class '0' and #best-effort ( #BE ) treatment is provided.

Bridge port update - 10

Added changes in ethernet module for handling the #bridge #port level #admin #flag for #CoS #mapping. The port level CoS mapping flag will #enable or #disable the #CoS #mapping #configuration on the port.  The CoS remapping will enable to map CoS on frames to a different CoS value. The remapped CoS will be used for effective #QoS treatment on the frame. By default, for a frame the ingress CoS is considered as the #effective #CoS for QoS handling.
