Suresh The concern I have is that it muddies the waters further on the standing of tunnels so while I think that its proposals for ifType per se are fine, I would like it to make explicit that tunnels are out-of-scope at this time. Tunnels are certainly not out-of-scope. There's two existing registries (interface types and tunnel types), and this draft documents existing registration process, and some process clarifications to address points of process confusion and ease process friction today. I have been trying to reconcile the workings of softwire, in creating a tunnel YANG module, with the existing IANA structure and failing. I believe that is because the current status of tunnels is unclear. Thus the softwire I-D refers to a registry that does not exist Yes it does. The software I-D does not create any new registry. It only creates another format for retrieving the contents of an existing registry.. Many registries are retrievable in multiple formats (XML, excel, txt, etc.). This registry is no different. What I can do is add a paragraph explaining the use of multiple formats for the interface type and tunnel type registries, to make it clear that each format is not a separate registry, just like getting the TCP port registry in XML vs excel is not two different registries. Dave (as such) although the URL that the softwire I-D does. I think the timing unfortunate in that IMHO the softwires I-D will get pressed ahead before this work can complete, so quite what this I-D then says about tunnels will be coloured by what then exists for tunnels. So this I-D should make clear what a tunnel is, when it is not an interface, but otherwise declaring tunnels out-of-scope, for a future I-D to do a comparable job for tunnels, setting up a tunnel registry from which MIB modules, YANG modules and anything else can be derived (as long as the relevant data is supplied - SMI needs integers, YANG does not, which I-Ds do not always recognise although the Designated Experts can take care of that). Finally, when I first encountered this I-D I asked on NETCONF and NETMOD WG lists if anyone knew of it, where it was being worked on and got no reply - which surprised me. I note that you have not copied them although they were involved in making the interface type registry what it currently is when creating the YANG module for interface types. I wonder if other WG have an interest, CCAMP or TEAS perhaps. I agree that int-area is the WG best equipped to work on it and that it needs working on.
