Hi,

I think it's a good idea to give a definition in the beginning of the document. 
The i2rs definition matches also my definition which we are using to describe 
the fact, that a customer specific service "configuration" on a service node 
does not survive a reboot.

Just my 2 cents

Betreff: [i2rs] Ephemeral - Should we use another word - (3/24 to 4/3) Call for 
opinion

Hi all:

<wg chair hat on>
The draft-ietf-i2rs-architecture document has been approved as an RFC.  In the 
review, the OPS-DIR review indicated that "ephemeral" meant more than "does not 
survive a reboot". They have asked the I2RS working group if replacing 
"ephemeral" with non-persistent (across power on/off or reboot cycles) would be 
a better choice.

What do you think - leave at it at "ephemeral" or change to "non-persistent 
(across power on/off or reboot cycles) ? We will have a 1 week call on

This would mean every place that "ephemeral" is listed, the authors would 
replace with "non-persistent".  In the first instance, we will indicate 
"non-persistent (across power on/off or reboot cycles).

<wg chair hat off>

As the author, I think we are better to define ephemeral at the beginning as 
"non-persistent (across power on /off or reboot).  Changing the definition at 
this point, I suspect will simply confuse people.
