TED update - 15: adding new parameters in custom TE-Node entries

#Added new parameters in #custom #TE-Node entries in the TED module. This include the #node-type for indicating the type of the node as #node, #area or the #autonomous-system, the #node-area which identify the area of the local node in a #multi-area #network, the #node-xc-type to indicate that the node has only a #fixed #cross-connect and can not be #reconfigured, and the #node-label-distribution-enable which identify whether or not to #signal the #label related node #capabilities to other nodes. The area and autonomous-system level #summarization #nodes uses the #node-type to indicate the summarization level. The nodes which has a #fixed #connectivity #matrix will limits the way in which the #input port can be connected to the #output #ports. For these kind of nodes the #node-xc-type is set as fixed. Also it is possible to convey the node level #label #constraints to the neighboring nodes to assist in better #path #computation operation. On setting the #node-label-distribution-enable flag the node passes the label constraints to the respective signaling modules.

GMPLS update - 33: adding standard extended TE tunnel parameters

#Added #standard #extended #TE #tunnel parameters in the GMPLS module. This include the #extended #tunnel #parameters for #bi-directional operation as well as parameters to specify the #TE-Node #identifiers as the #head and #tail #nodes for #mpls-tunnels. The #opposite-dir-tunnel pointer is used to refer the tunnel in the #reverse #direction for co-routed bi-directional or associated bi-directional tunnels. The #reverse #LSP could be a #different #LSP of the #same #tunnel in #co-routed #bi-directional use-case or the #same #LSP could function for #both the #directions. For #associated #bi-directional tunnel the #reverse #LSP will be part of an entirely #different #tunnel. The #tunnel-index and the #tunnel-instance parameters specify the respective indexes in the #reverse #tunnel for an associated bi-directional tunnel.

TED update - 6: renaming standard TE node entries

Renamed #standard #TE-node entries in TED module. The TE-node configuration entries has been made straight forward by correcting it's name. The TE-node entries contain #attributes like #node-id, #autonomous-system-number ( #ASN ), #country-code ( #CC ), #itu-t-carrier-code ( #ICC ) and a local node index for unique reference. This enables to refer the nodes in the network using either using the ASN or the ITU-T based ICC addressing scheme. This also serves as a #database of all #known #nodes in the system. When new nodes gets discovered by the TE signaling modules (e.g. OSPF-TE, ISIS-TE) a dedicated entry will be created for each node, so that it can be referenced in remaining parts of the system (e.g. endpoints of TE-Link). The TE-nodes will be referenced as source, destination or the intermediate nodes of an tunnel LSP path.

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 - 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.
