Assignment
This class represents configuration data.
Logical channel elements may be assigned directly to
optical channels for line-side transmission, or can be
further groomed into additional stages of logical channel
elements. The grooming can multiplex (i.e., split the
current element into multiple elements in the subsequent
stage) or de-multiplex (i.e., combine the current element
with other elements into the same element in the subsequent
stage) logical elements in each stage.
Note that to support the ability to groom the logical
elements, the list of logical channel elements should be
populated with an entry for the logical elements at
each stage, starting with the initial assignment from the
respective client physical port.
Each logical element assignment consists of a pointer to
an element in the next stage, or to an optical channel,
along with a bandwidth allocation for the corresponding
assignment (e.g., to split or combine signal).
