Subject: Re: [netmod] 6991bis: address-with-prefix-length
Hi,
The request was for a combined type that contains both an ip address
*and* a prefix length in one value. Hence the name "ip-address-and-prefix-
length" :)
I know that this type is convenient, esp. if you use it for manual input, but I
wonder if it really is good practice to squeeze two values into one.
Perhaps allowing YANG to support a tuple type would be an elegant solution.
I.e. the value exists on a single path, and has to be atomically updated, but
the value can still be composed from different types.
I think that would be a great addition to YANG. I've had numerous
discussions over the awkardness of using a grouping to group multiple
leaves together when you really want to define some form of compound /
tuple type.
However, that is a longer term project and IMHO not something that
should stop adding a ip-address-and-prefix-length type to 6991bis today :)
Kind regards,
Kristian.
