DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the work on this document, and apologies for the delayed review.
I have one DISCUSS point, a couple of comments.

As noted in https://www.ietf.org/blog/handling-iesg-ballot-positions/, a
DISCUSS ballot is a request to have a discussion; I really think that the
document would be improved with a change here, but can be convinced otherwise.

I have divided comments into "minor" (including the questions) and "nits".
Neither require replies strictly speaking, please feel free to address as you
see fit. I will appreciate answers to my questions, to improve my
understanding. If any clarification comes out of it, I hope it will help
improve the document.

Francesca

                       leaf holdtime {
                         type uint32;
                         units "msec";

FP: This might be me not finding the right reference (or little knowledge of
YANG), but I was wondering if "msec" was defined somewhere as a unit (note that
the description does not mention that the unit is milliseconds either).

While doing my due diligence to see if I missed or misunderstood something, I
researched the RFCs mentioned in the beginning of the YANG module:

   This module uses types defined in [RFC6991] and [RFC8343].  It also
   uses groupings defined in [RFC8519], [RFC8177], and [RFC8294].

And found no use of the "msec" unit. A quick google search shows that RFC 8299
uses it, so there is precedence for it, but I couldn't find its definition from
that document either. All the other leaves use "milliseconds" (which is defined
in RFC 8294), so my preference would be to have consistency, if "msec" was
defined and I just missed it.

(Note that a similar remark could be made for "bps" used, which does not appear
in the description text, and is also used in RFC 8466, however there is no
issue about consistency there).

## Minor

2. -----

   'status':  Indicates the status of the OSPF routing instance.

FP: Most likely a copy-paste leftover in section 7.6.3.4 should be IS-IS
instead of OSPF.

3. -----

Section 7.6.3.5, re timers

FP: shouldn't the units be explicitly stated in the timers description text, or
are they defined somewhere else? Actually, I can see the unit is specified
later on in the YANG module - so my suggestion is to add some simple text in
7.6.3.5 to explicitly say that the timers are in seconds.

4. -----

                       leaf required-min-rx-interval {

FP: I see that RFC 5880 does not specify a default value for this; is there
really no default that can be specified here?

## Nits

5. -----

                             "It is included only when enryption
                              is enabled.";
                         }

FP: typo s/enryption/encryption
