Tieline2 Path Detail Table
The ‘Tieline2 Path Detail’ table (under the ‘Views’ pane) shows all the tieline paths of your
configuration
— in detail. This is a sample ‘Tieline2 Path Detail’ page:
The tieline paths are those all the theoretical paths that signals can traverse through the
network of tielines available.
The details presented in this table, separate from the ‘Tieline2 Path’ table, are the ports that
define the “hops” of each path. (These data are presented separately because the presentation
is somewhat tidier.)
Each tieline path has as many entries in this table as are required to represent all the “hops” of
the path. Thus, for any N-hop tieline path, there are N+1 entries in this table. Each entry is called
a “segment.”
Each tieline path has a head end; that is segment 0. Each tieline path has a tail end; for an N-hop
tieline, that is segment N. (A segment, then, is equivalent to one of the router partitions along
the tieline path.)
At the head end, the input port is undefined because a tieline path originates at an output. At
the tail end, the output port is undefined because a tieline path terminates at an input. We indi-
cate that a port is undefined by a –1 in the port field.
The first 3 paths (IDs 20342, 20343, and 20344) in the illustration above show a 1-hop, 2-hop,
and a 3-hop tieline respectively.
