Data Model: Network Link

(c) AMWA 2017, CC Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)

A Network Link represents the bidirectional link between a Network Device and another Network Device.

The parameters of a Network Link are:

  • peers: an array of exactly two objects identifying a network device interface (by its device_id and port_id) and the peer network device interface
  • speed: the speed of the link

The only operation permitted for this resource is GET. When a broadcast controller performs a GET operation with a device_id query parameter, the network controller returns all the links that originate/terminate in the specified network device. As these links are bi-directional, a link will be reported when a GET operation is performed for either peer network device.
