Yes, indeed both RTA and RSC can be used to sign arbitrary digital objects
through reference of their respective SHA256 message digest. But that
applies to any and all digital objects. :)

Given that the Geofeed specification includes a build-for-purpose
methodology (which has running code), are references to other illustrations
of signing maybe somewhat of distraction?

The current draft outlines in a good and detailed way how to authenticate a
signed Geofeed file; on the other hand, the references to RSC or RTA leave
a lot up in the air what exactly the workflow could/should be in context of
Geofeed files.

I think the Geofeed authenticator specification is superior to RTA and RSC,
for the purpose of signing Geofeed files.

Kind regards,

Job

Re: [OPSAWG] [Inventory-yang] [CCAMP] [inventory-yang] poll for network inventory base model

2023-09-15 Thread Camilo Cardona
Hello Daniele,

 

Oh, absolutely nothing with bad intent or complain. I apologize if the “there 
is always something was wrong” phrase was too negative.  

 

All models change, more if they aim for concepts that are hard to abstract, as 
this one. I was just wondering if in general, as a policy, the group wanted to 
publish the (already good quality) models quick to bootstrap deeper 
discussions, and then not be afraid of updating the model if needed. As an 
alternative, one could wait years to gather use cases over the years to prove 
maturity. 

 

I have nothing against one strategy, or the other, just wanted to understand 
the strategy.. I am sensing the group is aiming for the first? 

 

Thanks,

Camilo

Hi Camilo,

 

As you said there will always be something that "could have been done 
better"...but we'll not request for the publication of a document/model of low 
quality. Moreover both the documents we're considering for adoption have been 
there for a while with a lot of experts working on both of them. I followed the 
CCAMP a bit more since i'm chairing that WG and it went through thorough 
reviews before being adopted in the WG.

 

I'm not sure what your question is aiming for. Can you please elaborate a bit?

 

Thanks

Hi working group,

 

Thanks a lot for all the useful comments on the different drafts.

There seems to be a split of preferences between option 1 and option 3. Given 
that the interinm meeting is soon (next week), we suggest to use it to further 
discuss suggestions and concerns from the working group and defer the decision 
by 1 week (Sep 22nd) immediately after the interim meeting.

 

In order to have a fruitful discussion at the interim meeting please consider 
the following inputs:

 

Italo made a very good proposal on the split between HW only and HW+SW use 
cases. Is this something we want to pursue? Do you think it makes sense to 
start focusing on e.g. HW and then add SW on top of it?
When asking to adopt one draft or the other we were asking (as per IETF 
process) which you consider to be a good starting point for the working group 
to work on, not something that is ready for publication. This means that 
whatever draft we decide to adopt, we can significantly update it to properly 
cover all the different aspects of invently. With this regard Alex did a very 
good analysis in his mail. Maybe we don't need to make an hard choice between 
the draft but take the best of each. For example: we can take 30% of one draft 
and 20% of the other and build a new one as per option 3, if on the other side 
we decide to take 80% from one draft, then it makes more sense to start from it 
and build on top of that.
Another good point touched by Alex is the "equipment-room". We are supposed to 
cover also sites and location of the inventory. Are these things connected? it 
seems so. If the WG prefers not to address this in the core model and add it on 
top, that fine, otherwise we would suggest to have sites and location added 
(whetehr in che core model or added on top can be discussed).
Again we have a good proposal from Alex on the way forward, which is:

 

"For example, one could start with draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory-yang, 
modifying it to remove the network-hardware-inventory container and splitting 
the remaining module in two (for equipment-room and network-elements, both of 
which will now be top-level containers).  Remaining modifications can be made 
from there.  I guess this makes me a proponent of option 3, but with the caveat 
that this would not need to restart from scratch - really an option 4 that says 
merge (for overall structure and common parts, which in this case is possible) 
and split the remaining difference."

We don't really care whether this is called option 1, 3 or 4 but seems to be 
the most meaningful one...which is: use ccamp draft as a starting point, 
implementing the modifications suggested by Alex

Hi chairs/WG

As I didn’t answer the initial survey yet, I thought I was still on time. I 
take the opportunity to base my answer on your analysis.

My preference is for the below option4, based more on the “simplicity and 
focus”, with the starting approach of draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory-yang , 
and as suggested, to extend and build on top of the initial HW use cases.

Regarding your second point, I would like to reiterate on the approach as part 
of the example shown in draft-palmero-opsawg-dmlmo, on the import 
exercise (referred to in the appendix). We demonstrate how to extend the 
concept of “asset”, considering attributes that might not be initially 
considered in initial model, as they could be easily adopted and extended.

I vote for the so called option 4, as suggested below.

Many thanks,
Marisol Palmero

and split the remaining difference."
We don't really care whether this is called option 1, 3 or 4 but seems to be 
the most meaningful one...which is: use ccamp draft as a starting point, 
implementing the modifications suggested by Alex and then incorporate the 
material from the opsawg draft.

Given this deferral of the polling decision, if anyone else wants to ask for a 
10 mins slot at the interim, please do so now. We will put together the agenda 
on Monday.

Thanks you everyone

Hi Working Group,

It’s now time to start considering how to move forward with the inventory base 
model. We have two different documents that could be used as a starting point 
for our work or, in case the working group believes none of them is “good 
enough”, we can start a brand new ID.
In case the latter option is chosen, Daniele and I will write a -00 version 
including just the table of content and what we’d like to be covered in each 
section. The document will then be handed over to a pool of authors which will 
bring it till the WG adoption.

Hence, we will have a 3 weeks polling starting today. We decided to make it a 
bit longer than usual because this time the working group is requested to 
review two drafts instead of one.

This mail starts a 3 weeks polling, terminating on September 15th,  where

Hi working group,

Thanks a lot for all the useful comments on the different drafts.
There seems to be a split of preferences between option 1 and option 3.
Given that the interinm meeting is soon (next week), we suggest to use it
to further discuss suggestions and concerns from the working group and
defer the decision by 1 week (Sep 22nd) immediately after the interim
meeting.

In order to have a fruitful discussion at the interim meeting please
consider the following inputs:


   - Italo made a very good proposal on the split between HW only and HW+SW
   use cases. Is this something we want to pursue? Do you think it makes sense
   to start focusing on e.g. HW and then add SW on top of it?
   - When asking to adopt one draft or the other we were asking (as per
   IETF process) which you consider to be a good starting point for the
   working group to work on, not something that is ready for publication. This
   means that whatever draft we decide to adopt, we can significantly update
   it to properly cover all the different aspects of invently. With this
   regard Alex did a very good analysis in his mail. Maybe we don't need to
   make an hard choice between the draft but take the best of each. For
   example: we can take 30% of one draft and 20% of the other and build a new
   one as per option 3, if on the other side we decide to take 80% from one
   draft, then it makes more sense to start from it and build on top of that.
   - Another good point touched by Alex is the "equipment-room". We are
   supposed to cover also sites and location of the inventory. Are these
   things connected? it seems so. If the WG prefers not to address this in the
   core model and add it on top, that fine, otherwise we would suggest to have
   sites and location added (whetehr in che core model or added on top can be
   discussed).

Again we have a good proposal from Alex on the way forward, which is:

"For example, one could start with draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory-yang,
modifying it to remove the network-hardware-inventory container and
splitting the remaining module in two (for equipment-room and
network-elements, both of which will now be top-level containers).
Remaining modifications can be made from there.  I guess this makes me a
proponent of option 3, but with the caveat that this would not need to
restart from scratch - really an option 4 that says merge (for overall
structure and common parts, which in this case is possible) and split the
remaining difference."
We don't really care whether this is called option 1, 3 or 4 but seems to
be the most meaningful one...which is: use ccamp draft as a starting point,
implementing the modifications suggested by Alex and then incorporate the
material from the opsawg draft.

Given this deferral of the polling decision, if anyone else wants to ask
for a 10 mins slot at the interim, please do so now. We will put together
the agenda on Monday.

Thanks you everyone
