GMPLS update - 39: adding out-segment interface index

Added #mpls-interface based #indexing on #out-segment configuration entries in GMPLS module. This will help in doing #search #operations among the out-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 will be #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.

TED update - 11: renaming standard TE-Link switching-capability (ISCD) entries

#Renamed #standard #TE-Link #switching-capability ( #ISCD ) entries in TED module. The TE-Link switching-capability configuration entries has been made straight forward by correcting it's name. The TE-Link switching-capability entries contain #attributes like #min-lsp-bandwidth, #max-lsp-bandwidth for each #priority, #interface #MTU, SONET / SDH type, etc ... The switching-capability entries are identified by their #switching-type and #LSP-encoding types. The same information has been updated for the counter parts from the #component-links as well.

TED update - 9: renaming TE-Link un-numbered identifiers

#Renamed #standard #TE-Link #un-numbered #identifiers entries in TED module. The TE-Link configuration entries has been made straight forward by correcting un-numbered identifier names. The TE-Link entries contain #attributes like #local-id, #remote-id will hold the local and remote #un-numbered #identifiers on the link. The attributes #local-ip-addr, #remote-ip-addr will contain the #IPv4 address of the #parent #numbered #interfaces and the #address-type will indicate as #unknown to identify the un-numbered identifiers type. The un-numbered identifiers is also updated in the #link-address database for efficient TE-Link look-up.

GMPLS update - 14: removing standard GMPLS label framework

#Removed #standard GMPLS #label #framework from GMPLS module. The label parameter s from the standard framework has been removed as there are #custom #label #parameter s already present to #complement the functionality. The custom parameters support #different #type s ( #global / #interface-specific / #upstream-assigned ) of #label #scope s and these can be specified optionally #linked #with either specific #interface s or #neighbor #node s. Different label ranges can be configured in the system either specific to an interface or in the global/platform scope. Also #media #specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) are separately indicated.

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 - 15: updating logical interface references in system

#Update d #reference s to the #logical-interface in all the #module s as well as in the IF module. This removes the earlier #augment ed #type and #replace s them with the #standard #interface #type. All the modules which currently performs the interface related operations has been updated to reflect this change.

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.

GMPLS update - 8: optimizing GMPLS interface configuration entries

#Hard-link ed #GMPLS #interface #configuration through #standard #interface #entries in GMPLS module. This will indicate the #GMPLS #interface attributes like #RSVP #hello-interval, signaling-types supported,  etc ...
