Document: draft-ietf-netmod-schema-mount-10 Reviewer: Joel Halpern Review Date: 2018-06-28 IETF LC End Date: 2018-06-29 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: This document is almost ready for publication as a Proposed Standards. I believe that the working group has gotten too close to the work, and failed to notice that important explanations that they understand do not actually appear in the document. Major issues: There is no explanation in the document as to who controls mounting and how it is specified. From this, I infer that the intention is that the server knows what is to be mounted at specific mount points, and does so. The Client does not tell the server to mount specific schemas in specific places. Ok. Say so. And explain that the server knows this by means external to the YANG modules. The text explicitly states that the case where the mount point definition selects the data model to be mounted is NOT supported by this document. There is some ambiguity, quite possibly only in this reader, as to what a client finds when it does a NETCONF Get at or below the mount point. I had assumed originally that it would find structure defined by the schema that is mounted there, as defined by the schema-mount container. However, the Schema-mount definition itself states that what is found at the mount point is an instance of YANG library. Given that this lefft me completely confused, please add some explanatory text? Minor issues: N/A Nits/editorial comments: The introduction, in its third paragraph refers to the "source or target YANG module" seeming to use both the term source and the term target to refer to the module with the uses or augments statement. Even if other YANG documents use both terms, this is a confusing construction. _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list Gen-art@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
