Folks

I have read draft-ietf-ospf-yang-02 and have some questions and doubts.  Please 
let me know your thoughts on the following.


-          There are some concepts that appear to be implementation specific. 
For example, should the following be part of the OSPF Yang definition?


o   admin-distance: this is not an OSPF concept that I am familiar with.  
Administrative distance is commonly used for comparing the usability of routes 
originating from different protocols and not associated specifically with an 
OSPF instance.


o   nsr: there is no IETF standard for NSR.



o   local-rib: OSPF may be one of a number of routing protocols running on a 
router and therefore the local RIB is not OSPF-specific.



o   container ldp: should this be part of the OSPF Yang?


-          Conversely, should configuration of IGP shortcut support be added to 
the Yang definition?


-          There are some options that I would expect to see for the 
instance-config that are not present.  Are there any plans to add other 
options?  For example, the following.


o   Configuring the instance as an ASBR.

o   Support for traffic engineering.

o   The ospfRFC1583Compatibility field defined in RFC 4750.


-          The text is OSPFv2-centric in places.  For example:


o   leaf router-id and grouping interface-operation : the description fields 
references RFC 2328.  Should this also refer to RFC 5340 for the OSPFv3 case?

o   The grouping interface-operation

*  does not include the instance ID

*  dr and bdr leaves have type:ipv4-address.

o   container graceful-restart : description "Enable/Disable graceful restart 
as defined in RFC 3623."  (Note that the feature graceful-restart does 
reference RFC 5187, OSPFv3 Graceful Restart.)

o   container te-rid: refers to IPv4 addresses in several places.


-          The TE (Traffic Engineering) configuration is specified within 
"container mpls".  Is it safe to assume that TE configuration is always 
mpls-related?  It may be better to make it non-specific about the usage of the 
TE information.


-          I found the "container stub-router" confusing.  In particular, the 
different description fields.  For example, I failed to understand the 
following.

o   "Specific different triggers to enable stub router." for the choice trigger 
description

o   "Enables maximum metric for non-stub router link" for the presence.
