Anees, does it really make sense to have to track multiple different objects in order to find out which IP address(es) are used by an interface? Perhaps I am old school but I do like the existing design better - one place to find the operationally used state. I rather have additional _metadata_ about where the values are originating from instead of a static marker in a data model that requires to report state in multiple places that than needs to be integrated again to answer simple questions like which IP addresses are used by an interface.
Knowing the origin of operational state data is highly useful. Trying to encode that in the design and structure of the data model, however, seems complex, costly, and inefficient. /js On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 06:22:28PM -0700, Anees Shaikh wrote: > So the model probably would have this as a choice, right?
