Hello,

In connection to the draft
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01 I propose to
send a liaison statement from IETF Netmod to ORAN.

 

The issue: 3GPP is standardizing a good number of YANG modules as part of
the 3gpp TS 28.541 and 28.623
(https://forge.3gpp.org/rep/sa5/MnS/tree/Rel17-draft/yang-models). 

ORAN plans to re-use this models, but possibly refine them in some ways.
They are considering using deviations to do this. 

E.g. change config=true schemas node to config=false. This creates problems
as documented in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01#section-5.8.1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01%23section-5.
8.1> 

 

-   Deviations by an SDO (standard defining organization) prevent
implementations from reporting their own deviations for the same nodes.

-   Deviations by an SDO prevent implementations from conforming to the
standards specified by both SDOs.

 

To avoid these problems I propose to send the following text to ORAN:

 

“IETF NETMOD working group requests ORAN to avoid using deviations as part
of its specification. As documented in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01#section-5.8.1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-packages-01%23section-5.
8.1>  the usage of deviations would prevent:

*       Vendors to implement their own deviations for the same YANG schema
nodes
*       Vendors to claim conformance to both ORAN and 3GPP specifications
which are in some cases used as a base for the ORAN YANG models

Note: These problems with deviations exists even if YANG modules are used
without using YANG packages.
