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.

TED update - 3: adding TE-Link logical port update

Added stubs for logical #interface #status and #stacking handling in TED module. This control the operations of logical interfaces of type #TE-Link. Status handler will control the operations on an interface status change as in OPER UP/DOWN/TESTING etc ... On stacking of a higher layer entity similar operations are performed by stacking handler.

GMPLS update - 6: adding MPLS logical port update

Added stubs for logical #interface #status and #stacking handling in GMPLS module. This control the operations of logical interfaces of type #MPLS and #MPLS-Tunnel. Status handler will control the operations on an interface status change as in OPER UP/DOWN/TESTING etc ... On stacking of a higher layer entity similar operations are performed by stacking handler.

Ethernet logical port update

Added stubs for logical #interface #status and #stacking handling in ethernet module. This control the operations of logical interfaces of type #ethernet , #VLAN , #ILAN and #virtual-bridge . Status handler will control the operations on an interface status change as in OPER UP/DOWN/TESTING etc ... On stacking of a higher layer entity similar operations are performed by stacking handler.

PBB provider instance port update - 5

Added stubs for provider instance port ( #PIP ) logical #interface #status handler and #stacking handler. Status handler will control the operations on an interface status change as in OPER UP/DOWN/TESTING etc ... On stacking of a higher layer entity similar operations are performed by stacking handler.

Interface stacking update - 4

Added changes for #interface #stacking handling routines in interfaces module. This will create an individual stacking layer between a pair of #lower and #higher layer interfaces. This will support different kind of checks - such as compatibility checks, capacity verification, etc ... - before and after the stacking layer creation or removal on upper and lower layer interfaces.
