If Not: what problems arise that would be solved by having a network model, do we need one, and where would it come from if not i2rs?
I think it is useful to have a network-wide topology model that is accessible at a device level. Meaning, topology could be distributed into the network and retrievable either as a whole network or in parts based on filters. For example, given an I2RS Agent, give me the Agent plus two routed hops. This would be very useful, for example, in the support case where we need to understand what a network looks like in order to help troubleshoot problems.
But, I could also ask this same Agent to give me the whole routed network from a given instance. This would give me the graph (edges, nodes) of that topology.
