OLS path

Table with one row for each element of the type: 'OLS path'.

Columns

Name Description
A Origin node
B Destination node
Description A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
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
Spectrum mask Spectrum mask of this element, indicated as a list of pairs (bandwidth, offet). Each pair represents a block of occupied spectrum. First element is the block width in MHz. Second is the offset from the block start to the start of the lowest block (which has offset 0)
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
Name A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
Bandwidth (GHz) The total bandwidth occupied (in GHz) by the optical path associated with this OLS path
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
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
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
Nominal paths List of nominal paths defined
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)
Lowest frequency (MHz) The lowest frequency occupied by the lowest frequency of the lowest block, in MHz

In some occassions, this may imply an impractically large number of columns for human inspection.
TAPI A, B, Up, NepA, NepB, CepA, CepB, TapiLocalUuid, TapiUuid, TapiJson Columns associated to TAPI-related info
Failure status A, B, Up, Installed, Srgs Columns associated to the risks this element belongs to, and its failure status
Connectivity A, B, BidiPair, Up Columns associated to the element related paths, links, neighbor nodes and alike
Description & tags & attributes Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, A, B, Up, Tags, Attributes, Json Columns associated to side information like element names, descriptions, user associated tags or attributes
KPIs A, B, Length(km), Latency(ms), Up, Installed Columns associated to traffic-related KPIs of the multicast flows
Default view A, B, Latency(ms), Up, NominalPaths, Bandwidth(ghz), 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
