Title: ForCES Forwarding Element Model
State: Active
Authors: Lily Yang
Group: Forwarding and Control Element Separation (forces)
Date: 2004-07-19
This document defines the forwarding element (FE) model used in the
Forwarding and Control Plane Separation (ForCES) protocol. The model
represents the capabilities, state and configuration of forwarding elements
within the context of the ForCES protocol, so that control elements (CEs)
can control the FEs accordingly. More specifically, the model describes the
logical functions that are present in an FE, what capabilities these
functions support, and how these functions are or can be interconnected.
This FE model is intended to satisfy the model requirements specified in
the ForCES requirements draft [1]. A list of the basic logical functional
blocks (LFBs) is also defined in the LFB class library to aid the effort in
defining individual LFBs.
