Hello all,

First of all, thanks to Jeff for giving us a bit more hints about how to use 
the tcp model. We’ll try to see how to leverage it as much as possible.

Michael,

The draft mentions Maximum Segment Size  in section 3.1, first point (“Typical 
examples are the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) or configuration related to 
hardware offloading.”) but I don’t see it anywhere in the model. I would assume 
that you don’t want to include it. Still, This is sort of confusing, at least 
to me.
Since I couldn’t fully understand what your goal with that example is, I cannot 
offer a suggestion for making it clear, however I think it would be nice if you 
take a look at that sentence.

Thanks,
Camilo C

    Camilo,

    Responding somewhat late to this thread, but I think that you will find that
    the latest updates to the tcpm module addressed most of your concerns, if
    not all of them.  The BGP YANG module, as Michael notes below, helped refine
    some of the use case scenarios.

    The audit was primarily covering how to use authentication.  Some additional
    focus on other TCP properties might be worth evaluating.

application, but BMP requires other  features like authentication, MSS, 
keepalives which seem general enough. What we wanted was to leverage other 
model for this, if existing.
