Andy We currently are specifying i2rs rib model which can overwrite the local config. Implementations experience will provide us with input on the protocols. Sue

Hi, If your graphic advice means "the requirements are good enough, move on" then I agree. The datastore framework would be nice to have, but it is very close to the implementation details. It is also attempting to be a superset of all "accepted" implementation choices. By "on the wire" we usually mean a protocol specification. IMO, all that is needed (for editing) is a set of RESTCONF extensions. Some people want to describe the I2RS desired behavior wrt/ how it interacts with the local config. (and many more features...) Perhaps a good first step would be ephemeral data models that do not interact with the local config at all. I2RS is the only protocol of concern and the highest priority client. I2RS just needs to support read/write/notify of ephemeral data. If this is not acceptable then be prepared to wait until all the framework stuff is settled and standardized.

It would be so much cleaner and straight forward if the YANG modules developed by I2RS focusing on the “Over the Wire” data structure (and with NETMOD to focus on other aspects). The “I2RS ephemeral State” has the needed description for the desired behavior of the data received over I2RS interface. If we follow the IETF practice, it is good enough. Internal implementation framework is always controversial, hard to converge, usually ending up with a document (if completed) that is too big and difficult to read. Providing some source code to show the internal implementation would be much more useful as a reference implementation. The draft-schoenw-netmod-revised-datastores-00 is on the architectural framework for datastores as they are used by network management protocols. IMHO, how data stores are used are internal to the end points.

This is a volunteer organization so usually solution proposals come from people who have created a solution and they want the WG to standardize it.

IMO, it would be in I2RS's best interests if netconf/netmod provided drafts in appropriately normative language covering I2RS requirements. However, we've been in a pathological cycle of: "We don't understand, please give us requirements" "We don't understand your requirements" "You provided examples with your requirements that appear to be attempts to change our protocol - don't do that." The most recent revised-datastore draft would be a good place to document where netmod(/netconf) believes ephemeral datastores (if that's the instantiation) could live, and also how ephemeral configuration state could interact with candidate, startup and running configuration. yang-push covers much of our desired pub-sub behavior. (Yay!) Discussion is required for how to tag security considerations impacting transport into the yang model, in particular for notification. Proposals for secondary identity and priority are also needed. -- Jeff
