The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Common YANG Data Model for Scheduling' (draft-ietf-netmod-schedule-yang-10.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Network Modeling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mahesh Jethanandani and Mohamed Boucadair. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-schedule-yang/ Technical Summary This document defines common types and groupings that are meant to be used for scheduling purposes such as event, policy, services, or resources based on date and time. For the sake of better modularity, the YANG module includes a set of recurrence related groupings with varying levels of representation (i.e., from basic to advanced) to accommodate a variety of requirements. It also defines groupings for validating requested schedules and reporting scheduling status. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? While not a controversy per se, there was quite a bit of discussion around whether the YANG module should offer default values or make some statements mandatory. In the end, the WG decided against doing either, as it was not clear how the groupings might be used in an actual YANG module, and what impact it might have where that YANG module is used. Instead, guidance for default values is mentioned in the description statement. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? The document defines a YANG module, and a YANG doctor's review was performed. Comments from that review were incorporated into the document. Since the document only defines groupings, it is ultimately other YANG modules that use these groupings that will need to be implemented. There are no known YANG modules that are known to use these groupings. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is James Cumming. The Responsible Area Director is Mahesh Jethanandani. IANA Note The document requests two registrations for IANA to make: - This document registers the following URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. - This document registers the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]. _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
