LACP upgrade - 12: updating member port selection handler

Updated #member-port #selection #handler in #LACP module. This handler checks and #verifies whether the #peer #partner and the #peer #port #attributes are not changing. The peer port info is recorded while LACP PDU is received. While there is an #administrative #configuration change from the peer side or a #physical #connectivity #changes happens from the remote side, it has to be decided whether the #member-port can still be part of #aggregation or not. The handler reads out the attributes passed in the LACP PDU and compare them against the peer port info recorded earlier. When the attributes differ in the PDU the member-port is marked as not part of the aggregation and #member-port #selection #procedures are executed.

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.

LACP upgrade - 10: updating LACP PDU partner info handler

Updated the LACP #PDU #handler in #LACP module. This handler will #process the #PDU while #received on port. The #peer #partner #info of the received port is #updated from the info received in the LACP PDU. The info in the PDU is checked against the actor port specific info to #decide whether the #peer port is in #sync with the received port. The partner info like oper-port, oper-priority, oper-system-id, oper-system-priority, oper-key and oper-stat are populated according to the values received from LDU. The actor specific info like port, port-priority, system-id, system-priority and oper-key are cross checked with the info in PDU to decide whether synchronization has been attained with the peer port.

LACP upgrade - 9: updating LACP PDU transmit handler

Updated the #PDU #transmit #handler in the #LACP module. Whenever updated LACP packets has to be sent to the #peer #partner node, the PDUs are #composed from the internal data-structures in this routine. This routine access the member port data-structures for #creating the individual #TLVs in the LACP PDU. The data-structure references has been corrected to the native member port structures. This routine passes the created PDUs to the appropriate #platform #handlers to send them out of the actual port.

LACP upgrade - 7: updating the received LACP PDU handler

Updated incoming #LACP #PDU #handler in LACP module. The PDU handler has been updated to use native member port structures. The #peer #partner #data-structures on the particular member port are updated and internal LACP state on the port is updated in the handler. The routine to update the peer partner data-structures with the #administratively configured #default #values has been updated to remove references to the augmented data-structures. The #partner #info #expire #handler also has been updated in the same lines.

LACP upgrade - 6: updating member port aggregator attach handler

Updated #member #port #attach #handler with the aggregator in the #LACP module. This handler make the #hardware calls to #attach the member port with the selected aggregator and mark the member port state as attached. The #remote #peer is informed of this by sending a #new #LACP #PDU and peer is marked as #synchronized. Later, when peer responds with it's PDU the actual #distribution and #collection operations will be #started for member ports. On attaching the member port with the aggregator the LAG distribution and collection operations will be started in hardware. i.e. The traffic sent out on the aggregator port will be distributed to the member ports and traffic received on the member ports will be collected on to the combined aggregator port.

LACP upgrade - 5: updating aggregator port state update handler

Updated #aggregator #port #status #handler in #LACP module. The data structure has been updated to use the new updated structure. This routine #updates the aggregator status as part of the #administrative or #operational #changes. The #LAG module uses this to #convey the aggregator #status #change to LACP module. When the aggregator port status changes to DOWN current aggregator selection is marked to be cleared. The remote information is marked as expired. This will cause the remote peer information to be gathered fresh again on port UP change. When port state comes as UP, the peer synchronization is marked as lost and expired and a timer is set to start operation on this port again.

LACP upgrade - 4: updated LACP member port detach handler

Updated #member-port #detach #handler in #LACP module. This handler #detaches the #port from the #hardware #aggregator and #inform the #remote #peer of the same. After this a wait timer is set for later processing. This procedure is executed as part of #protocol #state #changes or as a side effect of a management operation. The aggregator is detached from the member-port in hardware and the peer is informed that local end is not in sync anymore. The #collection and #distribution procedures are #disabled in #hardware and the peer will be known of the same when it receives the updated LACP PDU from local end.

LACP upgrade - 1: updated LACP aggregator and member port activation handler

Updated the port status #activation #handler for both #aggregator and the #member-port in #LACP module. The data type references has been corrected to use the new updated type. The activation handlers #cascade the #configuration #state #changes from the #LAG module to LACP module. On moving the port to #active state from LAG module, the #LACP #protocol specific procedures will be #started for these ports. Similarly on putting these ports in to #not-in-service or #not-ready state, the #protocol procedures are #stopped and #cleanup is done for these ports.

LAG upgrade - 28: added LAG interface OPER-STATUS handler

Added #aggregator logical-interface ( #lag-interface ) #OPER-STATUS #handler routine in LAG module. This enables to #perform the #support #procedures for #lag-interfaces on OPER-STATUS change. The handler is registered with the IF module and #IF #module will #execute this #call-back on respective #parameter #change in IF module. This helps to perform the necessary procedures in LAG module when the OPER-STATUS is changed from IF module. The references to the augmented custom aggregator data-structures has been updated to the standard aggregator data-structures.

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.

GMPLS interface update - 1: added MPLS interface create/remove sequence

Added #MPLS-interface #create / #remove #sequence in GMPLS module. This enables to #create #MPLS-interface s #through the #IF #module #interface #management operations. On creating the MPLS logical-interface in the IF module the corresponding interface is created in the GMPLS module through the logical-interface handler routine. On removing the MPLS logical-interface in IF module, corresponding operations are performed in GMPLS module accordingly. The #MPLS-interface #activation and #ADMIN-STATUS operations are performed in the GMPLS module #through the appropriate logical-interface #handler #routine s defined by GMPLS module for the same, and the triggers for these operations are passed from the IF module to GMPLS module through these handlers.

IF update - 14: updating logical interface stacking handler

Updated the #logical-interface #stack #handling routines in IF module. The #stacking #change #handler routines has been #upgraded for the new data-structure changes. The interface stacking change handler will #check with the #upper and #lower #interface #layer s #on #create / #remove operations for each stack slice. e.g. On adding a #TE-Link over an #ethernet port the port capability (L2/L3/MPLS, bandwidth, MTU, duplexity, etc ...) and it's current state (OPER-STATUS) is checked. On creating the TE-Link TE-Link bandwidth is deduced from the lower layer ethernet port speed/bandwidth. On removing an GMPLS / #MPLS-tunnel, the earlier reserved bandwidth is returned back to it's lower layer #MPLS-interface and #TE-Link. These operations are supported through the interface stack change handler.
