Dear authors and *AD (Jim),

We have updated the edited (AUTH48) copy of this document per the updates from version -22 to version -24 (https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fauthor-tools.ietf.org%2Fiddiff%3Furl1%3Ddraft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-22%26url2%3Ddraft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-24%26difftype%3D--html&data=05%7C01%7Cyingzhen.qu%40futurewei.com%7C389e9f5c54e34f5a889e08dbdb055716%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C1%7C638344588233146700%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=o5G50zcl3AbU8gkXwutsGTBmIyrrbzqCxHc%2Bt3G0yhQ%3D&reserved=0<https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-22&url2=draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-24&difftype=--html>) and made a few editorial updates as needed.

Please review our updates carefully, and let us know if anything (particularly in the YANG module) is incorrect.

* Jim, there are four questions below for you, marked "*[AD]".  Please review, and let us know if you approve.

Our updated list of questions is as follows.  Please review, and let us know how this document should be further updated:

1) <!-- [rfced] Would you like the style of the document title to more
closely match that of other YANG RFCs?

Please note that for now we updated the title for this document, as
listed in Section 5, to match the current first-page document title.

Original title:
 RIB Extension YANG Data Model

Original from the module in Section 5:         reference
         "RFC XXXX: A YANG Data Model for RIB Extensions.";

Suggested (as originally cited in Section 5; we would revert the
  change in Section 5 to match)):
 A YANG Data Model for RIB Extensions -->

[Yingzhen]: “A YANG Data Model for RIB Extensions” is good.

2) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear in the
title) for use on <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rfc-editor.org%2Fsearch&data=05%7C01%7Cyingzhen.qu%40futurewei.com%7C389e9f5c54e34f5a889e08dbdb055716%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C1%7C638344588233146700%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hwO5XHAwCWytrp0eiiYyFm6AiepIFNlSBk16%2BJt3lPs%3D&reserved=0<https://www.rfc-editor.org/search>>. -->

[Yingzhen]:  RFC8349 has the following keywords: configuration, IPv6 Router Advertisements, NETCONF, RESTCONF
For this document, I’d suggest to use “YANG, Routing,  RIB”.

3) <!-- [rfced] Section 3:  Because only one ietf-routing YANG module is
defined in [RFC8349], we changed "modules" to "module" in this
sentence, per "the ietf-routing YANG module [RFC8349]" in Section 1.
If this is incorrect, please provide clarifying text (e.g., perhaps
all three relevant modules from RFC 8349 should be listed here and in
Section 1?)
Original:
 The YANG module defined in this document augments the ietf-routing
 YANG modules defined in [RFC8349], which provide a basis for routing
 system data model development.

Currently:
 The YANG module defined in this document augments the ietf-routing
 YANG module defined in [RFC8349], which provides a basis for routing
 system data model development. -->

[Yingzhen]: we are actually augmenting ietf-ipv4-unicast and ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing modules as well. So how about the following:
 The YANG module defined in this document augments the
 YANG modules defined in [RFC8349], which provide a basis for routing
 system data model development.

4) <!-- [rfced] Sections 3 and 5:  We have received guidance from
Benoit Claise and the YANG Doctors that "YANG module" and "YANG
data model" are preferred.  We have updated the text to use these
forms.  Please review, and let us know any concerns.

Original:
 Together with YANG modules defined in
 [RFC8349], a generic RIB YANG model is defined to implement and
 monitor a RIB.
...
5.  RIB Extension YANG Model
...
 description
    "This augmentation is only valid for routes whose
     source protocol is not OSPF or IS-IS since their YANG
     models already include a 'metric' augmentation for
     routes.";
...
 description
   "This augmentation is only valid for routes whose
    source protocol is not OSPF or IS-IS since their YANG
    models already include a 'tag' augmentation for
    routes.";

Currently:
 Together with the ietf-routing YANG
 module and other YANG modules defined in [RFC8349], a generic RIB
 YANG data model is defined herein to implement and monitor a RIB.
...
5.  RIB Extension YANG Module
...
 description
   "This augmentation is only valid for routes whose
    source protocol is not OSPF or IS-IS, since their YANG
    data models already include a 'metric' augmentation for
    routes.";
...
 description
   "This augmentation is only valid for routes whose
    source protocol is not OSPF or IS-IS, since their YANG
    data models already include a 'tag' augmentation for
    routes."; -->

[Yingzhen]: Agreed with Acee’s suggestion.

5) <!-- [rfced] Section 3.1:  We could not parse this sentence.
If the suggested text is not correct, please provide clarifying text.

Original:
 The following tree snapshot shows tag and preference which augment
 static IPv4 unicast routes and IPv6 unicast routes next-hop.

Suggested:
 The following tree snapshot shows tag and preference entries that
 augment static IPv4 unicast route and IPv6 unicast route next hops. -->

[Yingzhen]: OK.

6) <!-- [rfced] Section 5:  Per common practice in YANG documents, we
added the following introductory paragraph just prior to the YANG
module.

This also accounts for the addition of RFCs 9129 and 9130 as
references in the latest version of this document.

Please let us know any objections.

Original:
 5. RIB Extension YANG Model

   <CODE BEGINS> file "[e-mail]"

Currently:
 5.  RIB Extension YANG Module

    This YANG module references [RFC6991], [RFC8343], [RFC8349],
    [RFC9129], [RFC9130], and [RFC5714].

    <CODE BEGINS> file "[e-mail]" -->

[Yingzhen]: this looks good.


7) <!-- [rfced] Section 5:  As it appears that a lower preference value
is preferable, we updated this sentence (4 instances) as follows.
If this is not correct, please provide clarifying text.

Original:
 Routes with a lower preference next-hop are
 preferred and equal preference routes result in
 Equal-Cost-Multi-Path (ECMP) static routes.

Currently (first instance; "ECMP" used thereafter):
 Routes with a lower next-hop preference value
 are preferred, and equal-preference routes result in
 Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) static routes. -->

[Yingzhen]: I did some search online, and I see both “Equal-Cost Multi-Path” and “Equal Cost Multi-Path”. Whichever is IETF tradition is fine.

8) <!-- [rfced] Authors and *[AD]:  Section 6:  We see "RPC (Remote
Procedure Call) operation" in Section 2 but do not see any other
mention of RPC operations in this document.  Please confirm that
the "Some of the RPC operations" paragraph as listed on
<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ietf.org%2Fgroup%2Fops%2Fyang-security-guidelines&data=05%7C01%7Cyingzhen.qu%40futurewei.com%7C389e9f5c54e34f5a889e08dbdb055716%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C1%7C638344588233146700%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=lKGtfdFubM9xxjiFC2HOWg2D0eoSf9YyZSPzitfhTes%3D&reserved=0<https://wiki.ietf.org/group/ops/yang-security-guidelines>> is not
applicable to this document (and if it isn't applicable, is the "RPC
(Remote Procedure Call) operation" listing in Section 2 still
necessary?). -->

[Yingzhen]: Please remove the “RPC” from section 2.


9) <!-- [rfced] *[AD]:  Per the latest updates to the YANG module in this
document, we added RFCs 9129 and 9130 to the Normative References
section.  Per our process, we need to ask for your approval regarding

these additional Normative Reference listings are acceptable. -->
