Hi Erik, Thank you for catching this inconsistency. The choice of v4-mapped-v6 address was discussed while co-authoring RFC8029 and I think I mixed up and used the IPv6 loopback address in the YANG module. I will fix the same in the next revision of draft-nainar-mpls-lsp-ping-yang.

This seems to be inconsistent to me.

On the other hand, the IETF has defined documentation addresses which many if not most writers of examples for YANG modules seem unaware of so if we add anything, I would add those. > > Tom Petch > > From: netmod <[email protected]> on behalf of Juergen Schoenwaelder <[email protected]> > Sent: 17 July 2020 20:25 > > - There was a request to add types for loopback addresses > (127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128). > > - This is related to an effort to define a YANG module for MPLS LSP > Ping (RFC 8029) but the details are unclear, i.e., what is exactly > needed and how such a type will be used and whether there is a > common need for types for loopback addresses. > > - Proposal: do not add such types at this point in time > > -- > Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH > Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany > Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <https://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
