I consider RFC 8808 an extension that people may implement if their systems do what RFC 8808 describes, namely that the running datastore is bootstrapped from a factory default datastore. (Of course, a system with an empty running datastore after a factory reset may claim to be bootstrapped from an empty factory default datastore.) In other words, I think the answer to "What exactly is the content of the running datastore when it comes from the factory?" is that it is empty. On first boot, on a system implementing RFC 8808, it would be loaded with the content of the factory default datastore and on systems not implementing RFC 8808 it would most likely remain empty. /js -- 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
