Please find below some non-blocking COMMENTs, responses to these COMMENTs will be greatly appreciated, albeit not required. Please also note that my COMMENTs about section 1 were nearly DISCUSS level. Regards -éric ### Abstract Should NETCONF and RESTCONF be called out ? ### Definition of immutable in section 1 ` that cannot be modified by clients (that is, it is immutable)` is not really correct. Immutable means that it never changes, 'cannot be modified by clients' allows the server to change its read-only value, e.g., "CPU temperature" is read-only (cannot be modified) but not immutable (as it can change). ### Which servers/clients in section 1 The text uses "server" and "client" without being specific about the protocol... as the I-D updates the NETCONF/RESTCONF RFC, the reader can *guess* that it is about "RESTCONF or NETCONF server"... Please avoid ambiguities in a proposed standard... ### Section 11 My understanding based on the previous sections is that this flag is for read-only stores, so, I wonder how could a sensible client send an edit request to a read-only store ? `Clients can leverage this information to avoid sending edit requests that would otherwise fail due to immutable nodes.` ? _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
