Change Scope

  • This change adds leaf nodes for several status flags defined in the CMIS spec. Some of them are also defined in the earlier specs for management interfaces of SFP+ and QSFP+ modules.
  • Some of the flags are specific to media channels. They are defined in
    the existing list /components/component/transceiver/physical-channels/channel.
  • Other flags are specific to electrical host lanes. This change adds a new list /components/component/transceiver/host-lanes/lane to hold them, analogous to physical-channels/channel.
  • This change is backwards compatible.

It is good to see some of the failure modes start getting added directly within places in the model as we had intended long ago when we proposed the alarms model. So happy to see that.

I'm good with the three under the physical-channels.

I was hoping to discuss more on the new host-channelslist because I have some concern this conflicts with the terminal-device/logical-channels. The thinking was that electrical/digital things went to the logical-channels, whereas anything analog/physical is intended for the physical-channels. This feels like we are creating a new list that overlaps with logical channels. One option could be to use logical channels (which we definitely do for coherent optics, such as ZR).

Another option I was wondering about is if these actually do fit in physical-channel? tx-los for instance sounds more physical for example anyway?

That's not how I read the CMIS spec [1]. In Table 8-77 that I referenced, it states that Tx LOS and Tx CDR LOL are indexed by host lane, not by media lane (channel), in contrast with the other flags. For some media types (such as 400GBASE-FR4 in my CLI output above), these won't map one-to-one, so we can't use the same list physical-channels for the host lanes and the media channels.

I suppose you could read this section of openconfig-platform-transceiver.yang:

A transceiver will always contain physical-channel(s), however
when a line side optical-channel is present (i.e. ZR+ optics)
the physical-channel will reference its optical-channel.

as meaning that an optical module should always use physical-channels for the host lanes and optical-channel for the media channels. But I think that implies that /components/component/transceiver/physical-channels/channel/state/input-power, output-power, and laser-bias-current would never be used, because non-optical modules would never have those DOM readings.

I'm having a hard time seeing the references to logical channels in https://github.com/openconfig/public/blob/master/release/models/optical-transport/openconfig-terminal-device.yang as matching up with host lanes. For example, I've never heard of "grooming" being applied to electrical host lanes. And some of the descriptions of LLDP-related nodes in that YANG module seem to refer to PDUs being sent on individual logical channels. But we wouldn't think of a packet as being sent on a single host lane out of 4 or 8, if the port was configured at maximum speed.

Ah, thanks for bearing with me and providing more detail. I think this makes sense to introduce a place for host lane telemetry. I suppose host lanes would always be read-only since there is nothing configurable on this side? I was initially thinking on the other side of the transceiver which is where the terminal-device model starts to come into play, but that's unrelated here.

@nkitchen nkitchen force-pushed the channel-flags branch 2 times, most recently from 3f3cfea to 597ef60 Compare October 22, 2024 18:06
These flags are defined in the CMIS spec.  Some of them are also defined
in the earlier specs for management interfaces of SFP+ and QSFP+
modules.

Some of the flags are specific to media channels.  They are defined in
the existing list /components/component/transceiver/physical-channels/channel.

Other flags are specific to electrical host lanes.  This change adds a
new analogous list /components/component/transceiver/host-lanes/lane to
hold them.
