6.1.16 MPLS-TE Tunnel
The MPLS-TE Tunnel topology represents a unidirectional link between the TE tunnel
interface, which is the head of the TE tunnel, and the Label Switching Entity (LSE), which is
the tail of the TE tunnel. The head of the TE tunnel is represented by the MPLS-TE Tunnel
IMO (IMplsTETunnel) and the tail of the TE tunnel is represented by the Label Switching
Entity IMO (ILSE), which is the MPLS forwarding component on the destination VNE.
MPLS TE tunnels also have mid-points, which are not represented in the MPLS-TE tunnel
topology.
Link type: MPLS-TE, P2MP MPLS-TE
The link is unidirectional and represents a flow from the head to the tail of the TE tunnel.
Link type ‘MPLS-TE’ will be used when TE tunnel has a single LSP (i.e. for point to point) and
‘P2MP MPLS-TE’ will be used for TE tunnel with multiple LSPs (i.e. for point to multi point).

6.1.17 MPLS-TP Tunnel
The MPLS-TP Tunnel topology represents a bidirectional link between two TP tunnel
interfaces, which represent the two edges of the TP tunnel.
A TP tunnel interface is represented by the IMPLSTPTunnelEP IMO. MPLS-TP tunnels also
have mid-points, which are not represented as part of the MPLS-TP tunnel topology.
Link type: MPLS-TP.
The link is bidirectional.

6.1.18 FC and FCoE
The Fibre Channel (FC) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) topology represents a link
between two native Fibre Channel interfaces or between two Fibre Channel components
of FCoE interfaces that are connected in the network. In the VNE model, the endpoints of
the link are Fibre Channel IMOs (IFiberChannel), which represent the underlying native (FC)
or virtual (FCoE) Fibre Channel ports.

Note: Fibre Channel interfaces can be connected in a point-to-point, arbitrated loop, or
switched fabric topology. Prime Network supports link discovery only for the
switched fabric, discovering links on extension and node ports.
