Columns

Name Description
Site Site this node belongs to
Description A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
Power consumption (KW) Estimated power consumption of the element, in KiloWatts (KW)
Attributes User-defined attributes associated to this element
JSON An optional JSON content describing this element
SRGs The Shared Risk Groups (SRGs) this element belongs to: the SRGs that mandate the shutdown (set in failure state) of this element
Power consumption details A JSON detailing the cost items in this element
Name A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
X-pos Coordinate along x-axis (i.e. longitude)
Identifier A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed
OPEX (per year) Estimated OPEX cost of the element per year, in arbitrary units
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

Cost details A JSON detailing the cost items in this element

Views

Name Columns Description
Full view Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, Show, Up, Installed, Srgs, Site, X-pos, Y-pos, Population, Tags, Attributes, Json, Capex, Opex(perYear), CostDetails, PowerConsumption(kw), PowerConsumptionDetails This table view corresponds to a view with all the table columns.

Description & tags & attributes Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, Up, Site, Population, Tags, Attributes, Json Columns associated to side information like element names, descriptions, user associated tags or attributes
Power consumption info Name, Up, PowerConsumption(kw), PowerConsumptionDetails This view collects information on the estimated power consumption related to this element
KPIs Name, Up, Installed Columns associated to traffic-related KPIs of the multicast flows
Default view Name, Show, Up, Site, Tags This table view corresponds to a subset of columns selected as representative for a default table view. They typically include the most typical required values
Cost info Name, Up, Capex, Opex(perYear), CostDetails This view collects information on the estimated costs related to this element
