Ah.. Interesting  viewpoint on the word "overwrite". And I find nothing wrong 
with your viewpoint.
If i2rs only config does not resolve to installable state, how would you handle 
it.  Is this a case where i2rs config value does not exist so local config is 
used?  I am showing partial installation of i2rs rib model. 
If I can see how this works, maybe I can find a way to understand juergen's 
model.  

Why would this work?You mean the I2RS agent incorrectly accepts an edit that 
cannot be installedbecause it is invalid, or there are insufficient resources?
Sue:: valid config.  Route needs to resolve next hop to specific interface.
This is the same as the "no-validate" case for I2RS.If there is a "when IPv4" 
clause that is ignored by the agent, such that the agentappears to accept 
"IPv4" fields in an "IPv6" entry, what happens?
(IMO this is 1 reason the no-validate mode is so broken).
Sue: not the same case. Not invalid config.  Just not resolve to interface to 
send packet out
Does the hopelessly invalid data stay in the ephemeral datastore?Does the agent 
attempt to (incorrectly) apply the IPv4 parameters to an IPv6 entryor does the 
agent ignore the data (i.e., must be validating the data somehowif it knows to 
ignore it)
Sue: not this case.  Ephemeral config has been validated like all yang 
validation.

We currently are specifying i2rs rib model which can overwrite the local 
config.    Implementations experience will provide us with input on the 
protocols. 

I don't view it that way.The local config remains untouched throughout.The 
higher priority ephemeral config value is used instead of the local config 
value.The operational state should reflect that ephemeral config is overriding 
the local config.The data model for the I2RS version does not have to be the 
local config model.

Andy,

 
Agree with your suggested approach.

Hi,

 


If your graphic advice means "the requirements are good enough, move on"


then I agree.


 


The datastore framework would be nice to have, but it is very close


to the implementation details.  It is also attempting to be a superset of all


"accepted" implementation choices.


 


By "on the wire" we usually mean a protocol specification.


IMO, all that is needed (for editing) is a set of RESTCONF extensions.


Some people want to describe the I2RS desired behavior wrt/ how it


interacts with the local config. (and many more features...)


 


Perhaps a good first step would be ephemeral data models that do not


interact with the local config at all.  I2RS is the only protocol of concern 
and the


highest priority client.  I2RS just needs to support read/write/notify of 
ephemeral data.


If this is not acceptable then be prepared to wait until all the framework 
stuff is settled


and standardized.

IETF has been successful for past 20 years  in focusing on “Over the Wire” data

 and straight forward if the YANG modules developed by I2RS  focusing on the

The “I2RS ephemeral State” has the needed description for the desired behavior  
of the data received over I2RS interface.
 If we follow the IETF practice,  it is good enough. 
Internal implementation framework is always controversial, hard to converge, 
usually ending up with a document (if
 completed) that is too big and difficult to read. 
 
Providing some source code to show the internal implementation would be much 
more useful as a reference implementation.

 

The draft-schoenw-netmod-revised-datastores-00
is on the architectural framework for datastores as they are used by network 
management protocols. IMHO, how data stores are used are internal to the end 
points.

Hi,

 


I am not convinced the IETF can be forced to function as if it were


a dev-group in some corporation.  This is a volunteer organization so


usually solution proposals come from people who have created a solution


and they want the WG to standardize it.

IMO, it would be in I2RS's best interests if netconf/netmod provided drafts

in appropriately normative language covering I2RS requirements.  However,

we've been in a pathological cycle of:

"We don't understand, please give us requirements"

"We don't understand your requirements"

"You provided examples with your requirements that appear to be attempts to

change our protocol - don't do that."



The most recent revised-datastore draft would be a good place to document

where netmod(/netconf) believes ephemeral datastores (if that's the

instantiation) could live, and also how ephemeral configuration state could

interact with candidate, startup and running configuration.



yang-push covers much of our desired pub-sub behavior. (Yay!)



Discussion is required for how to tag security considerations impacting

transport into the yang model, in particular for notification.



Proposals for secondary identity and priority are also needed.
