Linda, the problem is that there is no such thing as an I2RS protocol,
much less version 1 of such a protocol. If I2RS is using NetConf, the
protocol is NetConf. If it is using RestConf, then that is the protocol.
Further, the exact mechanism to express what the agent can do over these
protocols is defined by those mechanisms.
I can't argue with your observation that there is not much to the
requirement as reworded. I consider that it is not vacuous because it
confirms that we need the relevant capability information. I recognize
that the NetConf and NetMod working groups have been very good about
doing that.
My primary point, as I have said several times on the list, and saqid on
the webex, is that the requirement as written was not a description of
what we requried, but of a possible (and in my personal view incorrect)
way of meeting the requirement.
Yours,
Joel

Joel,
The existing text and the proposed test mean different things to me. The
existing text is to say support I2RS Version 1, whereas the proposed text
states a very obvious statement.
If I2RS client didn't have the needed "communication mechanisms" to I2RS agent
or can't decide if the communications mechanisms needed is supported, how can I2RS client
even start to send commands to I2RS agent?

Subject: [i2rs] ephemeral requirements - REQ 08 bullet 1
Existing Text:
1. protocol version support for I2RS modifications - (e.g. I2RS
version 1)
Proposed Text:
1. Support for communication mechanisms to enable an I2RS client to determine
that an I2RS agent supports the mechanisms needed for I2RS operation.
This probably is already met by existing NetConf mechanisms. I think it is
useful to state anyway, so that solution development will verify that it is met.
Yours,
Joel
