The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-babel-information-model/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for this document. I support Ben's discuss regarding reusing the terminology from NMDA. I think that the document should have a normative reference to RFC 8342, and probably explain that in some places the information model is using the same concepts of configuration and operational data separation described in NMDA. I also support Alvaro's question about whether the source-routing component should be included. This is just a comment, and I'm not proposing that you change tack, but I have to confess that I question how beneficial publishing an Information Model really is. I understand that the goal here is to be able to publish two different data models, one based on YANG and other based on BBF's [TR-181]. But what we end up with is an information model defined in a custom ad hoc language, which will naturally necessitate for the YANG and TR-181 models to be generated by hand, and for all three models to be kept up to date and consistent with each other. Hence, I wonder whether retrospectively it would have been better to just define the YANG model in IETF and ask BBF to use that as source reference to construct the TR-181 model from, ideally as a programmatic conversion, or failing that by hand. At least that way there are only two things to keep in sync rather than three. Regards, Rob
