Then the client probably should have used a proper filter. Augments are a key feature of YANG. A client not interested in any additional data should not (implicitely) ask for it. (It does not matter whether the additional data is debugging or other information; if you do not need it, do not as for it if you want to be robust.) /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
