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.

Bridge multicast update - 3

Added support for #dynamic max_number_of_ports parameter in #bridge #multicast #forward-unregistered configuration on ethernet module. This will enable to dynamically set the size of #member #egress #ports, #static #ports and #forbidden #ports listing for each bridge VLAN. This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list. The forward-unregistered port configuration will be either configured statically or dynamically via #MMRP protocol.

Bridge multicast update - 2

Added support for #dynamic max_number_of_ports parameter in #bridge #multicast #forward-all configuration on ethernet module. This will enable to dynamically set the size of #member #egress #ports, #static #ports and #forbidden #ports listing for each bridge VLAN. This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list. The forward-all port configuration will be either configured statically or dynamically via #MMRP protocol.

PBB PIP pre-provisioning update

Created routines for #static assignment of provider instance ports ( #PIP ) to virtual instance ports ( #VIP ) in bridge module. This enables the #pre-provisioning of PIP ports in the #I-Component.
