Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for your response.

I am new to YANG; apologies in advance for making all of the beginner
mistakes.  My understanding of the specification

              list binding-entry {
                key "binding-ipv6info";
                description "binding entry";
                uses binding-entry;
              }

was that "binding-ipv6info" uniquely identifies the B4 (because it's a
key within the binding-entry list).  Is that not the case?  If it is the
case, how is it possible for one B4 to have multiple softwires?

Indeed.  Happily for me though this complexity is on the B4 side of
things ;-)  By the time it gets to the AFTR I don't have any sort of
policy decisions to make there.  It is a very pleasant standard in that
regard :)
