Hi NETMOD WG,

Scott and I think that we have finished updating these two drafts based on WGLC 
comments.  I.e., we are finally done, we hope!

The diff for draft-ietf-netmod-sub-intf-vlan-model is pretty minor/boring, but 
is here:
https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-ietf-netmod-sub-intf-vlan-model-11&url2=draft-ietf-netmod-sub-intf-vlan-model-13&difftype=--html

The diff for draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang is here:
https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang-14&url2=draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang-15&difftype=--html

The second draft has a few more significant changes (increasing the doc size by 
8 pages), that I would like to draw the WG’s attention to:

(1) in-discard-overflows has moved so that it augments all interfaces, rather 
than being restricted to Ethernet interfaces.

(2) As requested, I have defined a set of Ethernet ingress/egress histogram 
counters (i.e., measuring the number of packets based on their length).  IEEE 
802.3 effectively only really recognises frames up about 1518/1522 bytes, but 
often hardware supports Jumbo frames, up to around 8/9K.  Hence, I’ve defined 
counters that match those previously defined by the RMON MIB but extended them 
with a few extra buckets to account for larger frames (e.g., 1519-to-2047, 
2048-to-4095, 4096-to-8191, 8192-to-max.  Not all hardware will support these 
initially, but deviations and extra vendor defined counters can be used for 
those cases, and hopefully, over time, newer hardware will align to support 
these definitions directly.

(3) I’ve removed the sub-interface and ethSubInterface identities that were 
intended to abstract over the IANA if:types for augmented data nodes, but the 
solution didn’t really work helpfully as it is defined.  This might still be 
worth trying to fix in future but would need to be done as a set of base 
identities that the IANA types derive from rather than the other way around.  
I.e., a bigger item of work beyond the scope of this draft, so if we want to 
progress this idea, this would be best done in an entirely separate draft.

I’m fairly sure that the chairs would like these drafts to be done and handed 
off to the AD, so please take a look and comment back to the list if you have 
any issues with the approach taken on either of these changes.

Kind regards,
Rob
