The IESG has approved the following document: - 'System-defined Configuration' (draft-ietf-netmod-system-config-19.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Network Modeling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mahesh Jethanandani and Mohamed Boucadair. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-system-config/ Technical Summary The Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) in RFC 8342 defines several configuration datastores holding configuration. The contents of these configuration datastores are controlled by clients. This document introduces the concept of system configuration datastore holding configuration controlled by the system on which a server is running. The system configuration can be referenced (e.g., leafref) by configuration explicitly created by clients. This document updates RFC 8342. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? >From the Shepherd report: One particular point was somewhat controversial. This being that the current solution is NMDA only, necessitating that clients wanting to perform offline-validation must know how to fetch the <system> datastore and merge it with the <running> datastore. However, the WG noted that trying to support legacy clients made the solution overly complex and architecturally unsound. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? Again, from the Shepherd (Kent Watsen) report: There is interest in implementing it (including by yours truly), but I am unaware of any implementations yet. Separately, an early and an IETF LC review was conducted by YANG experts, and they have approved the module. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Kent Watsen. The Responsible Area Director is Mahesh Jethanandani. _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
