| Description | This object indicates the type of link being described.
A link type of 'dedicatedWavelength' represents a
wavelength that is dedicated to carrying control and
network management traffic, rather than user data. A
dedicated wavelength should be terminated on the switch
that physically connects to the fiber carrying that
wavelength, i.e., the remote switch should be a physical
neighbor.
A link type of 'inBand' represents a message channel used
to carry control and management traffic on a wavelength
that otherwise carries user data. An 'inBand' link does
not need to be terminated on the switch that physically
connects to the fiber carrying that wavelength, i.e., the
remote switch need not be a physical neighbor. |
