I suggest that people questioning the need to support scoped IPv6
addresses in IETF YANG data models write an I-D explaining why IETF
YANG data models do not need to support scoped IPv6 addresses and pass
the I-D through the IPv6 working group.
The question is not whether there is a single use case for IPv6 link local
addresses with a zone. The question is whether the base pattern for IPv6
addresses should include a zone and whether one was expected for all the
existing YANG model usages of inet:ipv6-address. I think that given the very
narrow scope, the answer is clearly no. Additionally, the zone is only
applicable to IPv6 link-local addresses yet the pattern in RFC 6991 allows the
zone for ALL IPv6 addresses. This is also clearly wrong.
Do you at least admit that IPv4 link-scoped addresses with zone have no useful
purpose? Or are you going to try and argue that the ever-popular 169.254.0.0/16
addresses are an absolute requirement for YANG models and expected for every
usage of inet:ipv4-address?
Acee
P.S. I would add that it is a good thing that syslog server can't be mapped to
a link-local address with a zone in the Open-Config model. In general, IPv6
services such as syslog servers should be mapped to global IPv6 addresses.
