While junos does have the interface as part of the routing instance interface hierarchy, you're also correct in that junos enforces that the interface is only associated with one instance. The question is with regard to generic modeling: Should a single unified interface model with the ability to associate the interface with the instance? Should the instance refer to interfaces? My concern with making the interface model point to associated instances is how we handle versioning for unknown things that we may want to associate that interface with. The interface model is something we want to be rock solid stable, not something that needs to be revised each time some new instancing mechanism is created. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ rtgwg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rtgwg
