Subject: [i2rs] nits review of draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo-01.txt

A few notes from a quick read of this I-D:

- There are multiple places where the text says network.yang but
  really means ietf-network.yang. The same for network-topology.yang
  and ietf-network-topology.yang.

<ALEX> Will clean this up.
</ALEX>

- The 'organization' and 'contact' are TBD or WILL-BE-DEFINED-LATER.
  I think this needs to be filled in now.

<ALEX> OK
</ALEX>

- There is probably a need to add some copyright etc. text to the
  module descriptions.

<ALEX> OK
</ALEX>

- Instead of putting I-D names into reference clauses, please insert
  instructions for the RFC editor so that the editor knows which
  things need to be replaced with RFC numbers.

<ALEX> OK
</ALEX>

- The description of the typedef link-id says 'The identifier may be
  opaque.' What does that mean? It is an inet:uri after all. If two
  systems populate a link-id, how are they going to come up with the
  same identifier? Is the SHOULD realistic to achieve? The same
  comment applies to the typedef tp-id.

<ALEX> Basically, this says that there may be different convenions 
used to pick identifiers, and we are not prescribing a specific 
convention.  You may have different systems which choose to populate 
link-ids differently, but they are different systems and 
refer to different links.  
</ALEX>

- I am not sure whether the security considerations are sufficient.  I
  think it would be fair to point out that topology information is
  most likely information that requires proper protection. See also
  section 3.4 of RFC6087 which points to the template:

  http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/ops/trac/wiki/yang-security-guidelines

<ALEX> OK, we can expand.
</ALEX>

- Reference 6021 has been obsoleted by RFC 6991.

<ALEX> OK, will fix
</ALEX>

- Reference 6241 is cited but not in the references section.

<ALEX> OK, will fix
</ALEX>

- The IANA considerations section is missing. You need to do IANA
  registrations of the YANG module name and the namespace URN.

<ALEX> OK, will fix
</ALEX>

- RFC 2119 terms are used but not 'imported'.

- There are references without citations: [yang-json], [restconf].

<ALEX> OK
</ALEX>

- I do not really understand why RFC1195, RFC2328, and RFC3209 are
  normative references. Even RFC6241 and RFC7223 may not be normative.
  Well, RFC6241 is not cited at all so it should be removed anyway
  (ah, bad for my h-index).

<ALEX> I am not sure why they would not be normative - they are standards 
track?  What would be the criteria to list them otherwise?  
(And, we can try to add a citation for RFC 6241 to make your h-index happy)
</ALEX>

- Make sure idnits is happy.
<ALEX>OK, we'll try to make that happy too.
</ALEX>


I have asked the YANG doctors to comment on section 3.5.
