GMPLS update - 73: updating custom out-segment agent mapper routines

Updated #custom #out-segment agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to #use standard #out-segment entry based #indexing. This will access the out-segment entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom out-segment indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom out-segment entries. The custom label-stack #entries add support for #out-segment #attributes like GMPLS #top-label, #swap-label, etc ... The custom out-segment #entries add support for #media #specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) by maintaining the GMPLS #label-type and #label-value #attributes.

GMPLS update - 66: adding out-segment create/remove API

Added #create / #remove #API for #standard MPLS #out-segment #configuration in GMPLS module. These APIs will be used by the other module procedures to create out-segment entries in the #MPLS-LSR #framework. This will #create the other #dependent #objects of the out-segment. For each standard out-segment entry, one out-segment #statistics entry, one #GMPLS #configuration entry and a #custom #out-segment configuration entry will be created along with it. The create API makes sure that these #hierarchical #entries are in place. The remove API will handle the #cleanup operation of the standard out-segment entry. On removing the standard out-segment entry the related #hierarchical #entries will be #removed from the framework #automatically.

GMPLS update - 64: hard-linking standard GMPLS out-segment entries

Hard-linked standard #GMPLS #out-segment entries with #standard #out-segment #entries in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #out-segment entry based #indexing. This will access the out-segment entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the GMPLS out-segment indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the GMPLS out-segment entries.

GMPLS update - 61: adding cross-connect out-segment based indexing

Added #out-segment based #index for #cross-connects in GMPLS module. This will enable to #access the #cross-connect entry based on it's #out-segment, #in-segment #index pair. This will help to look-up cross-connect entries from the out-segment information. This is used to #pass the #trigger to the #cross-connect on #out-segment level #changes. This helps to efficiently map the cross-connect entries from the out-segment index.

GMPLS update - 59: optimizing standard out-segment entries

Optimized #standard #out-segment #entries in GMPLS module. This #removes the #attributes like #pointer to #extra #parameters. The hard-linked #custom #out-segment entries provides the extra #parameters on the segment which satisfies the same requirement. The custom out-segment entry holds attributes like #swap-label and #top-label. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the out-segment entries.

GMPLS update - 57: optimizing standard out-segment entries

Optimized #standard #out-segment #entries in GMPLS module. This #removes the #attributes like #top-label, #pointer #to top #label and #pointer to #traffic #parameter. The hard-linked #custom #out-segment entries provides #alternate #parameters which satisfies the same requirement and the traffic parameters are derived from the associated tunnel LSP. The custom out-segment entry holds attributes like #swap-label and #top-label. The removed standard attributes support only few media types, but the custom attributes supports #label-types for different media types. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the out-segment entries.

GMPLS update - 53: updating standard out-segment statistics entries

Updated #standard #out-segment #statistics agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard out-segment entry based #indexing. This will access the out-segment statistics entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the standard out-segment statistics indexing used earlier. The out-segment #statistics contain the #count for #packets and #bytes #sent on the out-segment, also #count for #packet #errors and packet #discard are separately maintained.

GMPLS update - 41: optimizing out-segment statistics entries

Hard-linked #out-segment #statistics through #standard #out-segment #entries in GMPLS module. This will indicate the #out-segment #attributes like #bytes sent, #packets sent, #erroneous packets, #discarded packets,  etc ... This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the out-segment statistics. The hard-linked out-segment statistics entries enables accessing them directly from the standard out-segment instance entries.

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.

GMPLS update - 7: adding custom GMPLS LSR management framework

Added #custom #GMPLS #LSR #management #framework in GMPLS module. This adds the #extended #GMPLS #attribute s to the LSR. The GMPLS #label #range s can be specified in different modes on different #interfaces ( #global / #interface-specific / #upstream-assigned). The #in-segment and #out-segment extended attributes like #top-label, #swap-label, etc ... can be specified. Also #cross-connect and #label-stack information as well cab be specified separately.

GMPLS update - 4: added standard MPLS LSR management framework

Added #standard #MPLS #LSR #management #framework in GMPLS module. This adds the facility for #create/#modify/#remove #LSP #in-segment/#out-segment s. The operator can #create/#modify/#remove #cross-connect s between the in-segment s and out-segment s. There are separate configuration entries for managing #MPLS enabled #interface s in the LSR. The #label-stack on the segment s can be separately configured and maintained in the LSR.
