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 agree that the level of granularity is key.
I’d rather call for a significant granularity (but I’d welcome any pushback).
Personally, I don’t see why per TLV granularity would not be ok: it’s ok to 
implement which is more work, so just listing the supported TLV and sub-TLV 
should be doable. In any case, operators, pre-sales and support engineers will 
likely need this information some day. So let’s just fill it once for all and 
have it available for all persons.

I’d would even call for more granularity. E.g. for RFC 5130, for “32-bit 
Administrative Tag Sub-TLV 1”, “On receipt, an implementation MAY consider only 
one encoded tag, in which case, the first encoded tag MUST be considered and 
any additional tags ignored. »

To me, if the WG bothered making such granularity at the 
feature/TLV/implementation level, we need such granularity at the reporting 
level. And that’s not theoretical, I had to check that for a project a month 
ago. At best, it’s indicated in the vendors documentation, so the data is 
there, so let’s make it friendly to digest. At worst, we need to involve 
expensive people 😉.

If we want less granularity, let’s do less granularity in spec (everything is 
MUST)

Thanks,

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.

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".
