GMPLS update - 81: reducing explicit-path configuration parameters

Updated #MPLS-Tunnel #explicit-path configuration entries in GMPLS module to #reduce the necessary #parameters. The parameters #hop-as-number, #hop-lsp-id and #hop-path-computation-type have been removed. Instead of these parameters the #hop-address-type and #hop-address parameters are used. On specifying the #AS-Number or the #LSP-Id the hop-address-type is marked specifically for it and the hop-address will contain the value. The hop-path-computation-type is not used as it was marked obsolete by GMPLS framework and #tunnel-path-computation-type is used. The #path-computation-type is only specified in the tunnel level.

GMPLS update - 75: updating custom explicit-path agent mapper routines

Updated #custom #explicit-path agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #explicit-path entry based #indexing. This will access the explicit-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom explicit-path indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom explicit-path entries. The custom explicit-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 - 74: adding new parameters in custom explicit-path configuration

Adding #new #attributes in custom #explicit-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 explicit-path without knowing the address information, but using only the links on the way.

GMPLS update - 72: optimizing custom explicit-path parameter entries

Updated #GMPLS #custom #explicit-path #parameter agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #explicit-path entry based #indexing. This will access the custom explicit-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom explicit-path indexing used earlier. The custom explicit-path parameter entries has been embedded in the standard explicit-path entries. The custom explicit-path parameter entries holds the #attributes like #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label.

GMPLS update - 51: optimizing standard extended GMPLS tunnel explicit-path entries

Optimized #standard #extended GMPLS #tunnel #explicit-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 these respective labels. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the #GMPLS #explicit-path-hop entries. The hard-linked #custom GMPLS #explicit-path-hope entries provides #alternate custom #parameters which satisfies the same requirement.
