TED update - 20: adding new TE-Link switching-capability index

Added new #indexing on the #TE-Link #based on the #switching-type and #lsp-encoding-type in the TED module. This will enable to #look-up TE-Link based on the #switching-capability-descriptors available on the link. This will be useful when computing #path for #LSPs of specific #switching-type and #encoding-type. The switching-capability-descriptor of a TE-Link is #derived from it's underlying #component #links. This enables to create #TE-Links #over higher capacity #server-layers e.g. #Ethernet capable TE-Links created over #SDH / #OTN server-layers.

TED update - 17: adding new TE-Link parameters

Added #new #parameters on the #TE-Link in the TED module. The new #attribute #indicates whether the #TE-Link #crosses an #autonomous-system or an #area - i.e. AS / Area #border #link. An #admin-flag parameter has been added to the TE-Link to mark this information. Also the existing #te-adjacency-enable and #te-distribution-scope parameters has been added as #admin-flags to compact the parameters. When computing a path which crosses AS / Area boundaries these changes helps to specifically search and find border links in the network. This helps in faster and efficient path computation.

TED update - 4: adding extended TED parameter framework

Added #extended #custom #TED #parameter s in TED module. The new TED #framework include #node, #link, #link-address and #node-adjacency #databases on the network. The node database include s all TE nodes present in the network. The TE-Links configured on each node is captured in the link database, the addresses by which the links are identified is available in the link-address database. The adjacency information between the nodes and their neighbors are available in node-adjacency database. The #locally #configured #TE-Link information is directly fed to the TED database, also the #TE information #available #from the #external #signaling modules (e.g. #OSPF-TE, #ISIS-TE) is also captured in the TED database. The TED database is used to efficiently #compute #path for #tunnel #LSPs.

GMPLS update - 16: removing link switching-capability descriptor from GMPLS Call framework

#Remove d #link #switching-capability #descriptor ( #ISCD ) from GMPLS #Call #framework from GMPLS module. The switching-capability descriptor has been removed as the #same #functionality is already available #from the corresponding #TE-Link #switching-capability #descriptor in #TED module. The removed data-structures indicates the switching-capability information of the remote TE-Links conveyed through the Call signaling mechanism. The same information will be populated in the TED module on signaling and used in place, so as to reduce the memory requirement.
