IF update - 17: adding interface create/remove handler

Added support for #logical-interface #create / #remove #handler in IF module. On #row-status #change for interfaces in IF module will #call this #handler for #perform ing the #support #procedure s in the respective module. The interface #handler has been #register ed from the #GMPLS module to complete the interface create/remove sequence for MPLS-interface s. The existing interface activation handler in IF module has been updated to use the newly added interface call-back routine.

IF update - 16: removing augmented data types

#Remove d #augment ed interface #data-types and related #routine s from IF module. These contain redundant data-structures and their support routines. The functionality of these are #complement ed by the #standard #logical-interface #data-structures and newly added support #routines.

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.

IF update - 13: updating logical interface status handler

Updated the #logical-interface #hierarchical #status #handling routines in IF module. The #status #change #handler routines has been #upgraded for the new data-structure changes. The hierarchical status handler #propagate s the interface #status #from the #lower interface #layer s #to the #higher #layer s. The interface #stacking enables the interface status to be decided based on the lower layer component interfaces. The interface status will depend on it's own #ADMIN-STATUS, #interface-type dependent #procedure s and #lower layer #interface #OPER-STATUS.

Ethernet phy update - 9: correcting logical-interface to phy port mapping

#Corrected #logical-interface #to #phy #port #mapping handlers to reference phy port configuration in ethernet module. #Updating phy port create / remove routines #to #keep #both physical port and logical-interface #indexes. This helps in reducing the redundant information and thus by reducing the memory requirement.

Bridge MAC learning & forwarding update - 3: adding interface module configuration handler

Added #logical-interface level #transparent #port #configuration #handler in ethernet module. This will enable the configuration changes from the #logical-interface to #phy #port. Operator can arbitrarily #enable / #disable the #MAC #learning & #forwarding on the #interface and new handler will apply the changes in ethernet module on to the #phy #port.

Bridge port update - 4

Re-sequencing #bridge #port #logical-interface #attach / #detach operations with respect to bridge #port #activation in ethernet module. These changes will try to attach with the logical interface when port is getting activated. On removing the port from bridge component the logical interface is set to detach from the bridge port.
