Re: [CCAMP] YANG prefix for Tunnel models (was RE: YANG prefix for flexi-grid (was RE: FW: Proposal for YANG model prefix naming))

Let's continue the discussion about the prefix to be used for tunnel models, adding also TEAS WG since this discussion impact also the ietf-te model

There have been some negative comments from Tom against the current prefix (i.e., "te" which would also lead to "otn", "wson" and "flexg" in CCAMP tunnel models) which is broader than just the te-tunnel

The letter 't' is not possible because it has been already used for topology (i.e., "tet", "otnt", "wsont", "flexgt")

The only option to abbreviate tunnel I have seen so far are tn or tnl with or without the hyphen: "tetn", "te-tn", "tetnl" or "te-tnl"

I have a slight preference for "te-tnl", which would lead to "otn-tnl", "wson-tnl" and "flexg-tnl" in CCAMP, but I am open to other opinions or better proposals

I have only a strong preference to close this issue as quickly as possible :)

Any other opinion or better suggestions?

<tp>
I am losing track of the context, which modules are involved, but assuming it is WSON, OTN. FLEXG (MW?, DWDM?) then I would prefer  '-tn' to '-tnl'  as it is shorter  and to 'tn' as it is easier to read. 'tl' 'to' can be misread as 't1' 't0' in some typeface. ('tx' I often use but usually as transport or transmit not tunnel). 'tu' I reject because it is consonants that are wanted not vowels in such abbreviations,

There are plenty of other topo in TEAS but I do not know which if any will have a matching tunnel.
