What is the netconf server supposed to do if a client tries to store 192.168.1.1/24 in ipv4-prefix ? Or 2001:db8::1/64 in ipv6-prefix? Since the constraint on the non-masked portion of the prefix is solely in the description, there is nothing to prevent this and I'm sure the ipv4-prefix and ipv6-prefix types are being used incorrectly. Thanks, Acee Reading the canonical format description in 6021 one might intepret that the netconf server should just truncate the host bits and store these as 192.168.1.0/24 and 2001:db8::/64 ? This means the netconf server actually stored something else than the client tried to commit (the resulting uint32 and uint128 will have different information than was commited by the netconf client). Or should the netconf server throw an error if the client tries to commit data that is not according to the bit pattern described in the canonical format? I guess I am getting confused by the "canonical format" term being used in IPv6 for describing the ascii representation of the value, but both in IPv4 and IPv6 it's also used to describe how the bits should be set (and not be set) depending on prefix/mask. Also, the IPv4 canoncical format representation doesn't describe at all the ascii representation, so for instance 192.168.001.001 would be valid according to 6021. I haven't seen this to be a problem in reality though, because IPv4 addresses are typically "compressed" the same way, all the time. If we're revving 6021, then perhaps some text about ascii representation format should be to use the format used by the posix function inet_ntoa() ? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swm...@swm.pp.se _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list netmod@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list netmod@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
