TED update - 10: adding local and remote IP address based index for TE-Link

#Added #local and #remote #IP #address based #index for #TE-Link in TED module. This will enable to #access the #TE-Link entry based on it's #local-ip-addr and #remote-ip-addr #indexes. This will help to look-up TE-Link entries from the address information. The IP #address on the TE-Link can assume #IPv4, #IPv6 or #un-numbered address #types. The #local #address part of the TE-Link is an #operator #configuration and #remote address part is #dynamically updated as part of the #signaling. The remote address can also be statically updated by the operator in certain scenarios. This helps to efficiently map the TE-Link entries from the address index.

TED update - 7: adding inter TE-Link cross-connect parameters

Added new node level inter #TE-Link #cross-connect information in TED module. This enables to draw the #possible #cross-connect #constraint present between TE-Links of a node. When this configuration is present in a node, that will be the only possible cross-connects between the specified links. But on the absence of this configuration in a node, links can be inter-connected in any possible combination - i.e. no constraint exist for cross-connect between links. When the #cross-connect is between TE-Links of #different #media #types, a possible #media #conversion has to be performed as per the #adjustment-capability information configured. Hence the TE-Links involved in a cross-connect may be part of same media layer or different media layers. On nodes with #hardware #constraint on link cross-connect this information will be useful in expressing the limitation. This could be used to #compute #path for #tunnel #LSPs in complex networks.

GMPLS update - 14: removing standard GMPLS label framework

#Removed #standard GMPLS #label #framework from GMPLS module. The label parameter s from the standard framework has been removed as there are #custom #label #parameter s already present to #complement the functionality. The custom parameters support #different #type s ( #global / #interface-specific / #upstream-assigned ) of #label #scope s and these can be specified optionally #linked #with either specific #interface s or #neighbor #node s. Different label ranges can be configured in the system either specific to an interface or in the global/platform scope. Also #media #specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) are separately indicated.

IF update - 15: updating logical interface references in system

#Update d #reference s to the #logical-interface in all the #module s as well as in the IF module. This removes the earlier #augment ed #type and #replace s them with the #standard #interface #type. All the modules which currently performs the interface related operations has been updated to reflect this change.

Inet logical-interface update - 1: registering logical-interface types for IP

Registered #logical-interface #type s for #IP operation in INET module. These types will handle the cases of #enabling #IP / IP #forwarding on ports.

Bridge filtering database update - 7

Added #constraint #type handler for #bridge #VLAN #learning-constraint configuration in ethernet module. The learning-constraint configuration for a VLAN indicates the #filtering-database ( #FDB ) to be used for #mac-learning and whether the database is shared with other VLANs. The constraint type of #independent indicates that VLAN uses FDB independent of other VLANs. When VLAN shares the FDB with other VLANs constraint type is kept as #shared.

Bridge port update - 2 & Ethernet phy update - 6

Added bridge #port #type check and #interface #index check in port activation routine on ethernet module. Removed unwanted changes from #ethernet #phy register / de-register routines. Added #chassis support for ethernet phy framework.
