LACP upgrade - 11: updating member port distribution and collection handler

Updated #distribution and #collection #handler for #member-ports in #LACP module. The handler #enables the collection and distribution operations #sequentially on each port. After an #aggregator port is selected to be #attached with the member port member port moves to the #synchronized #state with the peer port. i.e. both peer agrees that same aggregator link is used for attaching from both peer systems. Once the synchronization is attained the handler #enables #collection operation on the member port and the #HAL #calls will be done for enabling collecting operation in the #hardware as well. Once this is done, informs the peer about this with an updated LACP PDU. Once both the peers are collecting data from each side of the link for the same aggregator port the #distribution operation will be started on the member port by the handler in the next step. The #HAL call will be done and the updated LACP PDU will be sent to peer to inform them as well. Once both collection and distribution operations are enabled on the member ports the link will be fully participating in the aggregation operation.

LACP upgrade - 4: updated LACP member port detach handler

Updated #member-port #detach #handler in #LACP module. This handler #detaches the #port from the #hardware #aggregator and #inform the #remote #peer of the same. After this a wait timer is set for later processing. This procedure is executed as part of #protocol #state #changes or as a side effect of a management operation. The aggregator is detached from the member-port in hardware and the peer is informed that local end is not in sync anymore. The #collection and #distribution procedures are #disabled in #hardware and the peer will be known of the same when it receives the updated LACP PDU from local end.

LACP upgrade - 1: updated LACP aggregator and member port activation handler

Updated the port status #activation #handler for both #aggregator and the #member-port in #LACP module. The data type references has been corrected to use the new updated type. The activation handlers #cascade the #configuration #state #changes from the #LAG module to LACP module. On moving the port to #active state from LAG module, the #LACP #protocol specific procedures will be #started for these ports. Similarly on putting these ports in to #not-in-service or #not-ready state, the #protocol procedures are #stopped and #cleanup is done for these ports.

GMPLS update - 55: adding standard tunnel activation handler

Added the #tunnel #activation #handler in GMPLS module. This will change the #tunnel #state as #active / #not-in-service effectively #enabling / #disabling the tunnel operation. On activating the tunnel depending on the tunnel type further actions will change. For a #static tunnel, the #bandwidth #reservation will be performed on the lower links and the #external #paths will be found in that process. The #cross-connects and the #segments will be created and they will be further made active, effectively cascading the activation operation. For #dynamically #signaled #tunnels the signaling modules will take over the further operations.

GMPLS update - 43: adding external API for GMPLS tunnel create

Added changes for #create / #removal of #GMPLS #tunnel #hierarchical #entries in GMPLS module. This involves the #creation of #dependent #configuration #entries as part of #tunnel / #LSP #create operation and #removal of these #cross #references which were created for maintenance of #dynamic #tunnel #state. On creating a tunnel entry, the #statistics entries are created for both #forward and #reverse traffic directions, the #GMPLS #configuration entry, the #extended #configuration entry and the #custom #configuration entry is created. A tunnel specific #error #entry is created to track the detailed tunnel state and the cause for the state.

GMPLS interface update - 2: added MPLS interface external API

Added #MPLS-interface #external #API routines in GMPLS module. This enables to #create / #remove #MPLS-interface related #hierarchical #entries through a single API. The standard GMPLS interface entries are also created indirectly through these routine calls. The MPLS interface handle will be using these routine calls to create the MPLS-interface as the side effect of creating the corresponding logical-interface in the IF module. The MPLS interface entries #contain the #attribute s like #current range of #in-coming / #out-going #label s used and the #bandwidth #state.
