Thank you for rewriting the bandwidth check helper!
My initial understanding of available_pbn was completely wrong and
therefore the bandwidth validation was not doing what it intended.
This version is much cleaner and easier to follow than the initial one,
since you're separating branch and port validation into 2 different
functions, and also go down the device topology rather than starting
from the end nodes. Also the explanation and the diagram help a lot to
understand how it should have be done initially.
This change makes sense and looks correct to me, therefore:
