GMPLS update - 85: updating standard GMPLS actual-path agent mapper routines

Updated #standard GMPLS #actual-path agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #actual-path entry based #indexing. This will access the actual-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom actual-path indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom actual-path entries. The custom actual-path #entries add support for #attributes like #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label. The #label-type attribute adds support for #media #specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) through the #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. The GMPLS out-segment #entries add support for #attributes like #segment-direction, #ttl-decrement, #pointer to external parameters, etc ...

GMPLS update - 63: updating standard GMPLS tunnel error agent mapper routines

Updated #standard #extended GMPLS #tunnel #error agent routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #tunnel #based #indexing. This will access the extended tunnel error entries #embedded in the standard #MPLS #tunnel entries and there by removing the redundant indexing. The extended tunnel error entries contain attributes like the #error-type - the kind of error happened on the tunnel (e.g. local configuration error, local dynamic state - shortage of resources, path not found - issues, network protocol failures, etc ...), #error-time, #error-reporter, related #error-tlvs and #error-description, etc ...

GMPLS update - 62: optimizing standard GMPLS computed-path entries

Optimized #standard #extended GMPLS #tunnel #computed-path #entries in GMPLS module. This removes the #extended #path-hop #attributes like flags indicating whether #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label are present or not, the #labels them selves and the #pointers to the external labels. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the #GMPLS #computed-path-hop entries. The hard-linked #custom GMPLS #computed-path-hop entries provides #alternate custom #parameters which satisfies the same requirement.

LAG upgrade - 27: updating member port activation handler

Updating the #member #port #activation handler in LAG module. The references to the augmented custom member port data-structures has been updated to the standard member port data-structures. This allows to directly use the #standard #member #port data-structure and use the #embedded custom member port data-structure for internal operations. The #status related parameters are kept in the custom data-structure and on member port status #change these are updated as #active / #not-in-service. When ports are not ready to participate in the normal operations because of inconsistency in the applied configuration the state is set as #not-ready.

GMPLS update - 60: optimizing standard label stack entries

Optimized #standard #label #stack #entries in GMPLS module. This #removes the #attributes like #label and #pointer to label. The hard-linked #custom #label #stack entries provides the label information of the stack which satisfies the same requirement. The custom out-segment entry is capable of maintaining the label of any media type, hence this will be more useful than the standard entries - which is quite limited. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the label stack entries.

LAG upgrade - 25: removing custom aggregator create API

Removed #custom #aggregator #create / #remove API in LAG module. The custom aggregator entries are #embedded in the #standard #aggregator entries and the standard aggregator create / remove API already handles the required functionality. Hence the redundant external API is being removed.
