The text in the I-D says
o dynamic: represents data provided by a dynamic datastore.
o learned: represents configuration that has been learned via
protocol interactions with other systems, including protocols such
as link-layer negotiations, routing protocols, DHCP, etc.
and
identity dynamic {
base origin;
description
"Denotes data from a dynamic datastore.";
}
identity learned {
base origin;
description
"Denotes configuration learned from protocol interactions with
other devices, instead of via the intended configuration
datastore or any dynamic datastore.
Examples of protocols that provide learned configuration
include link-layer negotiations, routing protocols, and
DHCP.";
}
Is this text unclear?
/js
PS: We consider to change 'configuration' to 'data' in the definition
of 'learned', i.e., 'represents data that has been learned...' and
'Denotes data learned from..."
