Re: [forces] I-D Action: draft-ietf-forces-model-extension-04.txt

Greetings to the list,

This is an update on the model extension draft, based on the excellent
review from Ben Campbell (Gen-Art reviewer).
This new draft addressed all comments that needed to be addressed.

Regards,
Evangelos Haleplidis.

> Abstract:
>    Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) defines an
>    architectural framework and associated protocols to standardize
>    information exchange between the control plane and the forwarding
>    plane in a ForCES Network Element (ForCES NE).  RFC5812 has defined
>    the ForCES Model that provides a formal way to represent the
>    capabilities, state, and configuration of forwarding elements within
>    the context of the ForCES protocol, so that control elements (CEs)
>    can control the FEs accordingly.  More specifically, the model
>    describes the logical functions that are present in a forwarding
>    element (FE), what capabilities these functions support, and how
>    these functions are or can be interconnected.
> 
>    RFC5812 has been around for two years and experience in its use has
>    shown room for small extensions without a need to alter the protocol
>    while retaining backward compatibility with older xml libraries.
>    This document updates RFC5812 and extends the model to allow complex
>    datatypes for metadata, optional default values for datatypes,
>    optional access types for structures and fixes an issue with Logical
>    Functional Block (LFB) inheritance.  The document also introduces
> two
>    new features a new event condition BecomesEqualTo and LFB
