Acee,

    I personally was assuming we'd follow 3, but I'd like to understand
the implication of 2 as I'm not sure I really understand what you're
thinking here.  Can you elaborate what you're thinking here?

Thanks,

Lou

I would really like to understand what problem (3) is supposed to solve.

Most of the foo-state variables are for monitoring.
This information is useful even if the server uses proprietary configuration 
mechanisms.
(e.g., the way the SNMP world has worked for 30 years)

If you forbid separate monitoring subtrees and force the data to be co-located
with configuration, that means the standard monitoring will not be supported
unless the standard configuration is also supported.

If they are meant to be supported independently, why wouldn’t they be separate 
models?



YANG features can be used and they can still be supported independently.

True - but I have not run across a model featured at the config/state branch.

Acee





Thanks,
Acee


Andy


Why is that progress?


Andy
