Hi,

draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang-08.txt should fix most of the issues raised 
during the WG LC.  Please can you check the diff 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang/history/) to 
ensure that your comments have been correctly addressed, closed issues are 
tracked at 
https://github.com/netmod-wg/interface-extensions-yang/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed
 .



There are still some open issues, at 
https://github.com/netmod-wg/interface-extensions-yang/issues that need to be 
resolved, with proposed resolutions below:


1. Do we rename "Carrier-delay".

Possibly, this could be renamed to something like "link-flap-suppression" or 
"state-flap-suppression"?



2. Do we add in-pkts and out-pkts counters?
Effectively, these counters would be equivalent to the sum of the 
in-unicast-pkts + in-broadcast-pkts + in-multicast-pkts.

In hindsight, I wish the counters had been defined as:
in-pkts, in-broadcast-pkts, in-multicast-pkts.  I.e. where the broadcast and 
multicast counters are a subset of in-pkts.  This approach works for interfaces 
that don't distinguish between the types.

However, I'm not sure whether adding these counters into interface extensions 
is the right place.  If we were to add these counters, I think that it would be 
better to add them to a new revision of ietf-interfaces.yang.


3. Do we add a new "in-discards-overflow" counter?

I propose that we add this counter, with the following definition:

           leaf in-discards-overflow {
             type yang:counter32;
             description
               "The number of inbound packets that could have been
                deliverable to a high-layer protocol but have been
                discarded due to lack of resources to process the
                packet.

                This counter does not change the meaning of the
                'in-discards' counter, and hence discarded packets
                Counted against this counter MUST also be
                counted in the 'in-discards' counter.

                This counter does not include packets that are
                discarded due to exceeding a QoS policy, only those
                dropped due to resource constraints.

                Discontinuities in the values of this counter can occur at
                re-initialization of the management system, and at other
                times as indicated by the value of the 'discontinuity-time'
                leaf defined in the ietf-interfaces YANG module (RFC 8343).";

             reference
               "RFC 2863: The Interfaces Group MIB - ifInDiscards";
           }

If we add this counter for ingress, then I suggest that we also define a 
similar counter for egress as well.


4. As discussed at IETF 105, I propose adding the following discard counter, 
unless there are strong objections:

  /*
   * Add discard counter for unknown sub-interface encapsulation
   */
  augment "/if:interfaces/if:interface/if:statistics" {
    when "derived-from-or-self(../if:type,
                               'ianaift:ethernetCsmacd') or
          derived-from-or-self(../if:type,
                               'ianaift:ieee8023adLag') or
          derived-from-or-self(../if:type, 'ianaift:ifPwType')" {
      description
        "Applies to interfaces that can demux to sub-interfaces";
    }
    if-feature "sub-interfaces";

    description
      "Augment the interface model statistics with a sub-interface
       demux discard counter.";

    leaf in-discard-unknown-encaps {
      type yang:counter64;
      units frames;
      description
        "A count of the number of frames that were well formed, but
         otherwise discarded because their encapsulation does not
         classify to the interface or any child sub-interface.  E.g.,
         a packet might be discarded because the it has an unknown
         VLAN Id, or does not have a VLAN Id when one is expected.

         For consistency, frames counted against this counter are also
         counted against the IETF interfaces statistics.  In
         particular, they are included in in-octets and in-discards,
         but are not included in in-unicast-pkts, in-multicast-pkts or
         in-broadcast-pkts, because they are not delivered to a higher
         layer.

         Discontinuities in the values of this counter can occur at
         re-initialization of the management system, and at other
         times as indicated by the value of the 'discontinuity-time'
         leaf defined in the ietf-interfaces YANG module (RFC 8343).";
    }
  }


5. l2-mtu leaf

I've changed the name and definition from "l2-mtu" to "max-frame-size".

I've changed the definition to be more encaps agnostic, so it included FCS 
bytes, and doesn't have any special IEEE 802.3 VLAN definition, and increased 
its size to uint32 to accommodate the Linux loopback MTU of 65536 bytes.

The propose new text is:

2.5.  Maximum frame size

   A maximum frame size configuration leaf (max-frame-size) is provided
   to specify the maximum size of a layer 2 frame that may be
   transmitted or received on an interface.  The value includes the
   overhead of any layer 2 header, the maximum length of the payload,
   and any frame check sequence (FCS) bytes.  If configured, the max-
   frame-size leaf on an interface also restricts the max-frame-size of
   any child sub-interfaces, and the available MTU for protocols.

And the YANG:

       /*
        * Allows the maximum frame size to be configured or reported.
        */
       leaf max-frame-size {
         if-feature "max-frame-size";
         type uint32 {
           range "64 .. max";
         }
         description
           "The maximum size of layer 2 frames that may be transmitted
            or received on the interface (including any frame header,
            maximum frame payload size, and frame checksum sequence).

            If configured, the max-frame-size also limits the maximum
            frame size of any child sub-interfaces.  The MTU available
            to higher layer protocols is restricted to the maximum frame
            payload size, and MAY be further restricted by explicit
            layer 3 or protocol specific MTU configuration.";

         reference "RFC XXX, Section 2.5 Maximum Frame Size";
       }

Thanks for all of your review comments,
Rob

Abstract:
   This document defines two YANG modules that augment the Interfaces
   data model defined in the "YANG Data Model for Interface Management"
   with additional configuration and operational data nodes to support
   common lower layer interface properties, such as interface MTU.

   The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management
   Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342.
