GMPLS update - 75: updating custom explicit-path agent mapper routines

Updated #custom #explicit-path agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #explicit-path entry based #indexing. This will access the explicit-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom explicit-path indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom explicit-path entries. The custom explicit-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 - 74: adding new parameters in custom explicit-path configuration

Adding #new #attributes in custom #explicit-path configuration GMPLS module. The new attributes #node-id and #link-id adds support for specifying the #path #segment with respect to the #TE-Node and #TE-Link. This helps in describing the tunnel path using the nodes and links along the way. The #address information of the individual links are #automatically #populated based on the specified node-id and link-id configuration. This adds support for specifying the tunnel explicit-path without knowing the address information, but using only the links on the way.

GMPLS update - 73: updating custom out-segment agent mapper routines

Updated #custom #out-segment agent mapper routines 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 custom out-segment indexing used earlier. This will reduce the memory requirement associated with the custom out-segment entries. The custom label-stack #entries add support for #out-segment #attributes like GMPLS #top-label, #swap-label, etc ... The custom out-segment #entries add support for #media #specific labels ( #Ethernet / #SONET / #SDH / #OTN ) by maintaining the GMPLS #label-type and #label-value #attributes.

LACP upgrade - 9: updating LACP PDU transmit handler

Updated the #PDU #transmit #handler in the #LACP module. Whenever updated LACP packets has to be sent to the #peer #partner node, the PDUs are #composed from the internal data-structures in this routine. This routine access the member port data-structures for #creating the individual #TLVs in the LACP PDU. The data-structure references has been corrected to the native member port structures. This routine passes the created PDUs to the appropriate #platform #handlers to send them out of the actual port.

LACP upgrade - 8: updating the LACP PDU processing routine

Updated the internal #LACP #PDU #processing routine in LACP module. This handler #disects the LACP #packet in to individual #TLVs and do the respective handling. The LACP PDU receive handler passes the incoming PDUs to this routine for processing. The routine has been upgraded to use the native member port level data-structures for it's internal processing.

LACP upgrade - 7: updating the received LACP PDU handler

Updated incoming #LACP #PDU #handler in LACP module. The PDU handler has been updated to use native member port structures. The #peer #partner #data-structures on the particular member port are updated and internal LACP state on the port is updated in the handler. The routine to update the peer partner data-structures with the #administratively configured #default #values has been updated to remove references to the augmented data-structures. The #partner #info #expire #handler also has been updated in the same lines.

GMPLS update - 72: optimizing custom explicit-path parameter entries

Updated #GMPLS #custom #explicit-path #parameter agent mapper routines in GMPLS module. The agent #iterator routines and #mapper #routine has been updated to use standard #explicit-path entry based #indexing. This will access the custom explicit-path entries by using the #native #indexing. This removes references to the custom explicit-path indexing used earlier. The custom explicit-path parameter entries has been embedded in the standard explicit-path entries. The custom explicit-path parameter entries holds the #attributes like #hop-forward-label and #hop-reverse-label.
