Alternate Name: Resource Domain::Resource ABE::LogicalResource ABE::Converged Network ABE::NetworkForwardingDomain
Category: [a] Class
The NetworkForwardingDomain (NFD) object class represents the capacity to enable forwarding and potential for forwarding via ForwardingReleationshipEncapsulation (FRE) constructs. The NFD represents the capability to define a route for forwarding across the contained network. \n \nThe NFD represents capability for one or more specific layerProtocols where the relevant boundaries for each layerProtocol coincide appropriately \n \nIt a grouping of zero or more: \n- TPEs which represent access to the NFD \n- subordinate NFDs which are a partition of its capacity (and hence completely contained) \n- TLs between the grouped subordinate NFDs \n \nThe TPEs associated may terminate TopologicalLinks (TLs). NFD instances and TL instances together define the network topology. \n \nNew TPEs may be assigned to the NFD and TPEs may be unassigned from the NFD. \n \nNote that the NFD object may be used to represent routing domains or other administrative domains. The domain groupings may be orthogonal. \n \nThe top level NFD corresponds to the whole network for the layerProtocols it includes. \n
