[As co-chair]
To facilitate the meeting, following is a straw man list of requirements
based on what I've read. Let's focus on refining this list during the
meeting.
1. Ability to interact with both intended and applied configuration
a. The ability to ask the operational components of a system
(e.g., line cards) for the configuration that they are currently
using. This is the "applied configuration".
b. applied configuration is read-only
c. The data model for the applied configuration is the same as
the data model for the intended configuration (same leaves)
d. For asynchronous systems, when fully synchronized, the data
in the applied configuration is the same as the data for the
intended configuration.
2. Applied configuration as part of operational state
a. the ability to retrieve the applied configuration and
derived state nodes in a single protocol operation.
3. Support for both transactional, synchronous management
systems as well as distributed, asynchronous management
systems
a. For asynchronous systems, the ability to request a protocol
operation to not return (i.e. block) until the intended
configuration has been fully synchronized.
b. The protocol operation's response would indicate the result
of the operation (success, failure, partial, etc.)
4. Separation of configuration and operational state data; ability
to retrieve them independently
a. be able to retrieve only the derived aspects of operational state
b. be able to retrieve only the non-derived aspects of operational
state
5. Ability to retrieve operational state corresponding only to
derived values, statistics, etc.
// this is a duplicate of # 3-a
6. Ability to relate configuration with its corresponding operational state
a. ability to map intended config nodes to corresponding applied
config nodes
b. ability to map intended config nodes to associated derived state
nodes
c. The mappings needs to be programmatically consumable
7. Ability for distinct modules to leverage a common model-structure
a. Scope is limited to IETF-defiend modules
b. multiple domain-specific trees are okay
c. multiple namespaces are okay
Thanks,
Kent
