I agree, the granularity would depend on the feature/RFC.

Another aspect I have seen in TLV implementations is, Receiving side processing 
is supported
But sending side isn’t. It may be useful to introduce this sending 
support/receiving support notion in the
Model.

[External Email. Be cautious of content]

Speaking as a co-author of the draft, I'm open to name suggestions.

As for granularity, I'd say this really varies per RFC/feature. We want to make 
it useful for operators but not too tedious to implement. Realistically, we 
won't be able to have modules for all existing RFCs, so it's more about new 
RFCs. The WG should decide the level of feature granularity as part of the 
document when it is to be published.

Thanks,
Yingzhen

Hi Acee,

I concur that a simpler name is better and am fine with what you propose. Or 
pretty much anything other than ‘PICS’.  :-)

I disagree that feature level granularity is sufficient. Example: suppose an 
implementation supports traffic engineering. Is that sufficient for an 
operator? Is that enough to ensure interoperability? I’m not convinced. Does 
the node support administrative groups? What about extended administrative 
groups? Maybe we don’t need to be at the individual TLV level for every 
feature, but it sure would be nice to call out each and every option that an 
implementation may support.

Yes, I realize that it’s a giant hassle, but if we ever want to get to the 
world when network management is fully automated, we will need to make 
everything transparent.

Regards,
Tony

Speaking as a WG contributor:

Hi Les,

I think a simpler name is better - perhaps ietf-isis-feature-support.yang with 
YANG prefix isis-fs would be better.  Which brings me to my next and more 
important point…

Like carbon neutrality, everyone at the LSR WG meeting who had an opinion 
thought such a YANG model would be operationally useful. However, I think the 
level of granularity is key. I believe that having a separate data node for 
each TLV/sub-TLV as was done in the example ietf-isis-pics-sr-mpls.yang module 
is way too granular to be useful. Rather, the YANG reporting should be done at 
the feature level. Also, does a distinction need to be made as to whether the 
IS-IS node supports the feature or both supports it and has it enabled (as 
would be the case for non-backward compatible features)?

Thanks,
Acee

Loa -

I agree with you that simply "IS-IS Support" may not be the best choice.
Although, the meeting minutes have not yet been posted, as I recall my response 
to Tony Li's suggestion of "IS-IS Support" was "Yes - something like that."

The draft authors have not yet discussed this - but we will and share the 
proposed new name.
Other suggestions welcomed.

  Les

Subject: [Lsr] Question on draft-qgp-lsr-isis-pics-yang

Working Group,

During the presentation of draft-qgp-lsr-isis-pics-yang there was a
rather strong opposition in the chat against using the ISO-term "PICS"
in an IETF document.

I think the term "Support" was suggested (excuse me if I missed
something), but I'm not that impressed, and would rather like to see
something like - "Supported Protocol Aspects".
