TED update - 16: adding extended addressing parameters in TE-Link address entries

Added #extended #addressing #parameters with #link-address entries in TED module. The address information has been extended by including the #address #prefix length and the #un-numbered address support. The address #prefix allows to represent #ranges of #address in link-address entries. The #address-prefix holds the #prefix #length of the specified address in the entries. The #un-numbered addresses are represented by #address-unnum parameter. Along with the un-numbered address the #parent #IPv4 #address is also included in the entries. The new parameters allows to represent wide range of address in a compact way and variety of address types are added in the link-address entries.

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.

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.
