First, let me explain why I requested that the route-filters be removed
from the model. What I don't like about the route-filters is that they
are merely place-holders placed at a point-of-attachment which I don't
necessarily agree with.  Although we may end up with something similar,
these definitions should be in a more complete routing
policy model. Additionally, I believe it is obvious that there will
be both generic policy and protocol specific policy (e.g., BGP). If
these route-filters are to be included, there should be more guidance
as to precisely how they are to be used. Given their point-of-attachment,
they should clearly only be used for generic routing policy. Note that
for the two routing protocol instances (static and connected) defined
in draft-ietf-netmod-rtg-cfg, the import filters aren't even applicable.
This fact alone would suggest that this may not be the right
point-of-attachment for such routing policy. However, if I'm in the
minority, they can be retained for TBD augmentation.

As for the interface list in the routing-instance, I think it is
obvious that one should not define the address space for interface
disjointly from the IPv4/IPv6 interface addresses. That is why I
would recommend augmenting the RFC 7273 objects with a reference
to the routing instance rather having a disjoint interface
list in routing-instance as proposed.

Thanks,

P.S. netmod list bcc’ed. This discussion should take place on
