Bonjour Med, Thank you for your reply and your actions that should improve the overall quality of the document.
I am still unclear about whether this overall document is YANG related as the focus appears to me more on a standard data model (where of course YANG can help). But, this is merely an academic-like non-blocking comment.

[Med] Will double check. But, please note that from a YANG standpoint, the NAT module is not only about NAT44, but covers also NAT64, CLAT, SIIT, EAM, NPTv6. > > Should there be a reference to > draft-claise-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture (albeit not yet > an adopted > document) ? [Med] We could consider adding it as another example under Section 5 if we had a volunteer to provide the text explaining the mapping with the arch in the document. > > There are a lot of detailed service creations with a good > decomposition of all the required steps; but, little is written on > the importance of YANG models (as opposed to any standard data > exchange), so, the current title seems a little misleading. [Med] The important of YANG is described in the intro, e.g., o Allow for vendor-agnostic interfaces to manage a service and the underlying network. o Move from deployment schemes where vendor-specific network managers are required to a scheme where the entities that are responsible for orchestrating and controlling services and network resources provided by multi-vendor devices are unified. o Ease data inheritance and reusability among the various architecture layers promoting thus a network-wise provisioning instead of device-specific configuration. o Dynamically fed a decision-making process (e.g., Controllers, Orchestrators) with notifications that will trigger appropriate actions allowing thus to continuously adjust a network (and thus involved resources) to comply the intended service to deliver. > > -- Abstract -- > To be honest, I fail to understand why data models can be used to > 'derive' > configuration information. Did the authors mean 'describe' or > 'specify' ? > [Med] We meant "derive". Think about a service model (L3SM, for example), it does not specify the configuration that will be put into effect in a network, but will be used to derive a network model (L3NM), that will be used to derive the actual device configuration models. > Later "This document describes an architecture" while the title of > this document if "framework" ? Slight semantic difference ;-) > [Med] Will be fixed. > And later "accommodate modules that", is it 'YANG modules' or 'data > models' ? [Med] YANG modules. > > -- Section 4 -- > The complex figure 4 would benefit from some textual introduction > referring to the subsections. Also, the meaning of the arrow would > gain if specified.

[Med] Yes, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8342#section-5.1.4.
