GMPLS update - 61: adding cross-connect out-segment based indexing

Added #out-segment based #index for #cross-connects in GMPLS module. This will enable to #access the #cross-connect entry based on it's #out-segment, #in-segment #index pair. This will help to look-up cross-connect entries from the out-segment information. This is used to #pass the #trigger to the #cross-connect on #out-segment level #changes. This helps to efficiently map the cross-connect entries from the out-segment index.

GMPLS update - 50: corrections in standard MPLS tunnel API

Added #corrections in the #standard #MPLS #external #API in GMPLS module. The #cross-connect based #index #removal #step has been added in the tunnel removal routine. The #standard #extended #MPLS #entries and the #standard #GMPLS #error #entries routines has been #chain #linked in the create / remove routines for the external tunnel API. This ensures a hierarchical handling of these entries in the #create / #remove #sequence s.

TED update - 18: adding new TE-Link address based index

Added #new #address #based #indexing on the #TE-Link in the TED module. This will enable to #query TE-Links #based on their configured #address (i.e. #IPv4, #IPv6 or #un-numbered). This will be useful in many parts of the system as external to the stack the TE-Links are always identified by their assigned address. Support has been added for #multi-address scenario on the same TE-Link.

GMPLS update - 38: adding in-segment interface index

Added #mpls-interface based #indexing on #in-segment configuration entries in GMPLS module. This will help in doing #search #operations among the in-segment entries for #specific #interfaces in a #quick and #efficient manner. On #interface #changes the events are #forwarded to all the segments created on the interface. From segments the events #chained to #cross-connects and then further to the parent #tunnel #LSPs. On maintaining the interface index on segments expedite the event chaining process. The mpls-interface is used as an index in to the segment.

GMPLS update - 35: updating custom GMPLS tunnel parameter agent mapper routines

#Updated #custom #GMPLS #tunnel #parameter agent routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #tunnel #based #indexing. This will access the custom tunnel entries #embedded #in the standard #MPLS #tunnel entries and there by removing the redundant indexing. The standard GMPLS tunnel reverse statistics entries contain attributes like the #call-id, #cross-connect-index, #resource-index, #path-computation-model, #re-optimization-enable, #diffserv-type, etc ...

TED update - 13: optimizing TE-Link link-reservation entries

#Optimized #TE-Link #link-reservation entries in TED module. The #reservation #priority has been added to the link-reservation entries, so that #preemption feature can be optimally implemented for #path #computation procedures. The #link-reservation #index has been made #compact by removing the 4 integer indexes and #replaced them with a #generic 16 byte #wide #index. This helps to keep traffic-engineering module to be less specific to the MPLS framework, as the generic index can be used from other modules as well. Also this makes link-reservation database more easily usable. The #preemption is used for #high #priority #path #setup #requests in the #traffic-engineering module. Preemption is used when #resource #crunch is experienced on a TE-Link for these requests. The #previously placed #low #priority resource #reservations will reused for performing current high priority request. The existing low priority reservations of will be either #teared #down or #moved to a different TE-Link. The bandwidth that got available from handling the low priority reservations will be used for current high priority path setup request.

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.
