Table with one row for each element of the type: 'Serial connection'.

Columns

Name Description
A Origin node
B Destination node
Description A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
VLANs Sequence Indicates the sequence of VLANs associated with the current path configuration
Attributes User-defined attributes associated to this element
CEP B TAPI connection-edge-point in the link destination
SRGs The Shared Risk Groups (SRGs) this element belongs to: the SRGs that mandate the shutdown (set in failure state) of this element
NEP A TAPI node-edge-point in the link origin
CEP A TAPI connection-edge-point in the link origin
TAPI uuid TAPI global uuid json object
NEP B TAPI node-edge-point in the link destination
Rate (Gbps) The rate in Gbps of the end ports of the element
Name A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
Identifier A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed
Length (km) The length in km that traverses the traffic of this element, considering the paths followed in the underlying physical transport connections. The value provided is the worst case length: all the paths of this element in the underlying infrastructure are analyzed. More than one path can occur e.g. if 1+1 bifurcations appear at lower layers carrying this element
Latency (ms) The latency in miliseconds suffered by the traffic of this element, considering the paths followed in the underlying physical transport connections. The value provided is the worst case length: all the paths of this element in the underlying infrastructure are analyzed. More than one path can occur e.g. if 1+1 bifurcations appear at lower layers carrying this element
IP port (B) Attached IP port in link destination
Traversing IP Links IP links traversing this virtual transport connection
External links Indicates if this element has one or more user-defined external URLs associated to it. If so, when the user clicks this cell, and selects the URL (if more than one), a navigator is launched and the URL page is shown. External links are not editable in the GUI, but via API.
Tags User-defined tags associated to this element
Carried traffic (Gbps) Indicates the current carried IP traffic in Gbps.
TAPI JSON Full TAPI JSON for this element
Intra-node Indicates if both end nodes are the same or not
Bidi pair If this element is bidirectional, contains its bidirectional pair
JSON An optional JSON content describing this element
Path Sequence Indicates the sequence of paths used in the current configuration
IP port (A) Attached IP port in link origin
Installed Indicates if the element is installed. If not installed, the element behaves as if it did not exist, being unable to e.g. handle traffic or reserve any bandwidth
TAPI Local uuid TAPI local UUID. This means, local respet to belonging TAPI element
Up Indicates if the element is up (active) or down (failed)
Utilization (%) Indicates the maximum utilization measured as a percentage across all attached IP logical ports
