New version of the RIB info model has been posted. Main changes include:

- Inter-domain (AS) specific stuff is out from the main grammar. I've
added a new section called "Inter-domain extensions to the RIB" that puts
all the inter-domain stuff as optional augmentations.

- Consolidated rib-family and nexthop-address-family into a single thing.
They were simply duplicates.

- Got rid of fields nexthop-attributes. There was contention that things
like NO_PROPAGATE_TTL and NO_DECREMENT_TTL are too implementation specific
and shouldn't be in the info model. Since those were only the only
attributes currently present, there was no point in having a nexthop-attr
object that contained nothing.

- Got rid of the INSTANCE_DISTINGUISHER. It was a topic of great
discussion and everyone felt that INSTANCE_NAME and INSTANCE_DISTINGUISHER
were both the same thing (from a modeling perspective).

- Fixed numbering for the figures

- Added reference to multicast in the figures

- Got rid of route-metric, since there was no strong use-case for a
controller programming 2 routes with different metrics in the same RIB.

- Enhanced ipv4/ipv6 route object so as to enable source based routing.

Events and notifications section has not been updated in this rev.

Thanks
Nitin
