I suggest that people questioning the need to support scoped IPv6 addresses in IETF YANG data models write an I-D explaining why IETF YANG data models do not need to support scoped IPv6 addresses and pass the I-D through the IPv6 working group. The question is not whether there is a single use case for IPv6 link local addresses with a zone. The question is whether the base pattern for IPv6 addresses should include a zone and whether one was expected for all the existing YANG model usages of inet:ipv6-address. I think that given the very narrow scope, the answer is clearly no. Additionally, the zone is only applicable to IPv6 link-local addresses yet the pattern in RFC 6991 allows the zone for ALL IPv6 addresses. This is also clearly wrong. Do you at least admit that IPv4 link-scoped addresses with zone have no useful purpose? Or are you going to try and argue that the ever-popular 169.254.0.0/16 addresses are an absolute requirement for YANG models and expected for every usage of inet:ipv4-address? Acee P.S. I would add that it is a good thing that syslog server can't be mapped to a link-local address with a zone in the Open-Config model. In general, IPv6 services such as syslog servers should be mapped to global IPv6 addresses. /js -- Jürgen Schönwälder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <https://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ 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
