Exclusively ODUs belonging to the slave category are subject to the power saving switching.
Current problem:
The MicroWaveDeviceInventory (MWDI) has not yet been expanded to document topology information, too.
Consequently, the ODU pairings, which are forming a link, cannot yet be read out.
It does not make sense to implement algorithms for creating topology information inside AIPS as they would be redundant to future applications of the same purpose writing their results into MWDI (then renamed to: MicroWaveNetworkInventory) for making them generally available.
As soon as the MicroWaveNetworkInventory is providing a service for reading out connections, the following functions have to be added:
There shall be a path on the API for activating a cyclic operation for updating the list of AirLayer connections that shall be subject to the power saving switching.
The length of the period of the cyclic operation shall be configurable and be stored in an instance of IntegerProfile.
Periodically, the list of connections shall be read from the MicroWaveNetworkInventory.
The list of connections shall be filtered for AirLayer connections.
The AirLayer connections shall be filtered for groups of at least two AirLayer connections between the same devices.
The connections belonging to these groups shall be separated into master and slave category according to criteria that need to be defined.
The following information about the connections belonging to the slave category shall be listed:
LinkID
UUID of AirLayer connection
MountName, UUID and LocalID required for addressing both AirInterfaces that are terminating the AirLayer connection
Before storing this list as application data into a LOADfile, it has to be assured that all AirLayer connections listed in the existing version of the LOADfile are operating in the original mode (opposit of power saving mode).
Access to the LOADfile shall be described in an instance of FileProfile.
A module for creating and storing a LOADfile comprising the AirLayer connections of the slave category has to be complemented in a future release of the AIPS after the MicroWaveDeviceInventory has been expanded to become the MicroWaveNetworkInventory.
