TED update - 18: adding new TE-Link address based index

Added #new #address #based #indexing on the #TE-Link in the TED module. This will enable to #query TE-Links #based on their configured #address (i.e. #IPv4, #IPv6 or #un-numbered). This will be useful in many parts of the system as external to the stack the TE-Links are always identified by their assigned address. Support has been added for #multi-address scenario on the same TE-Link.

TED update - 16: adding extended addressing parameters in TE-Link address entries

Added #extended #addressing #parameters with #link-address entries in TED module. The address information has been extended by including the #address #prefix length and the #un-numbered address support. The address #prefix allows to represent #ranges of #address in link-address entries. The #address-prefix holds the #prefix #length of the specified address in the entries. The #un-numbered addresses are represented by #address-unnum parameter. Along with the un-numbered address the #parent #IPv4 #address is also included in the entries. The new parameters allows to represent wide range of address in a compact way and variety of address types are added in the link-address entries.

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 - 9: renaming TE-Link un-numbered identifiers

#Renamed #standard #TE-Link #un-numbered #identifiers entries in TED module. The TE-Link configuration entries has been made straight forward by correcting un-numbered identifier names. The TE-Link entries contain #attributes like #local-id, #remote-id will hold the local and remote #un-numbered #identifiers on the link. The attributes #local-ip-addr, #remote-ip-addr will contain the #IPv4 address of the #parent #numbered #interfaces and the #address-type will indicate as #unknown to identify the un-numbered identifiers type. The un-numbered identifiers is also updated in the #link-address database for efficient TE-Link look-up.
