Hello all,

Here is a short status update on the SR Policy YANG draft since the last IETF 
meeting (v07, v08).

The latest update maximizes the reuse of ietf-te-types​ where doing so does not 
compromise SR Policy semantics, while keeping SR-specific behavior explicit 
where TE reuse would otherwise blur the model.

The main model changes currently reflected in the draft are:


  *
dynamic optimization objectives now reuse the TE optimization metric entry
  *
dynamic path constraints now reuse TE path metric bounds, affinities​, SRLGs​, 
and disjointness​ through a path-constraints subtree
  *
the former SR max-sids​ handling is now represented through path-metric-bounds​ 
using an SR-specific msd​ identity under the TE path-metric​ base
  *
policy bandwidth​ keeps the SR leaf shape, but the requested​ and reserved​ 
leaves now use the TE bandwidth​ typedef


One point that came up during review is the appearance of inherited 
explicit-route-include-objects​ and explicit-route-exclude-objects​ subtrees in 
the rendered YANG tree. We are not enabling those as SR Policy behavior. They 
still appear because they come from the reused TE optimization grouping, but 
the SR model disallows the TE route-object optimization identities that would 
activate them. We have added clarification in both the model text and the draft 
prose to make that explicit.

Editorially, the draft has also been updated to align the narrative with the 
current model structure and naming, including the selective TE reuse approach 
and the current treatment of dynamic candidate-path constraints and objectives.

Next steps:

  *
Addressing feedback from co-authors about gaps with the SR-Policy architecture.
  *
YANG DOCTOR’s review

Thank you and best regards,

Tarik

Hi Alvaro, Adrian, and WG,

We have pushed an updated revision of ietf-sr-policy-yang

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-spring-sr-policy-yang-08

We have maximized the re-use of TE Grouping/definition in the SR-TE model.

We are planning to push another commit that addresses some feedbacks from the 
co-authors.

Thank you and best regards,

Tarik

Hi Alvaro,

Yes, we are trying to close on long standing pending comment (re-using TE 
attributes) amongst authors and have had one meeting this week already.
We plan to close this in less than two weeks time and then plan to push a 
revision before the IETF cutoff date.
HTC.

Kamran:

Hi!

Just checking to see if you will push another update before I start the Yang Dr 
review.

Thanks!

Alvaro.

Hi Alvaro, Adrian, and WG,

We have just pushed an updated revision for the 
draft-ietf-spring-sr-policy-yang-07.txt.
This addresses some editorial comments, as well as prepares it for YANG DR 
review (taking cues from your comments on srv6-yang document).
We have couple of pending items (e.g. TE attributes re-use) that are being 
closed between the authors - we are working on them and trying to close in a 
week time and push another update (if/as needed).

Best regards,
