Benoit Claise has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-13: Discuss When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is another validation issue, on the latest v13, that must be corrected. Actually multiple mistakes, all with the same root cause. Note that those warnings were reported in the datatracker: - Yang catalog entry for ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state@2017-11-15.yang - Yang catalog entry for ietf-l3-unicast-topology@2017-11-15.yang Thanks to Michal, here is the detailed explanation. Hi Benoit, firstly, you see the output only with -V because it changes verbosity to 'warnings' instead of the default one 'errors'. So, the warnings are valid and the when conditions are wrong. In short, in these cases the local module is not ietf-l3-unicast-topology, but ietf-network (despite being defined in ietf-l3-unicast-topology) - "ietf-network:network-types/l3-unicast-topology" should be "ietf-network:network-types/ietf-l3-unicast-topology:l3-unicast-topology" or even "network-types/ietf-l3-unicast-topology:l3-unicast-topology". To explain, here is the (long) justification. I will use the first warning as an example, all the other warnings are caused by the same mistake. We are dealing with a when condition "nw:network-types/l3-unicast-topology" in an augment "/nw:networks/nw:network" in the module ietf-l3-unicast-topology. As per [1], the context node of the XPath expression (when condition) is the augment target node "/nw:networks/nw:network". If you notice, the warning warns about not finding the node "l3-unicast-topology", not "nw:network-types". So, what node is actually referenced by "l3-unicast-topology"? Looking at [2], second bullet point, the namespace (prefix) should that of the "current node". Sadly, there is no (I have found none) formal definition of "current node" but I dared to assume it to be the node returned by the "current()" [3] function. As was said at the beginning, the "initial context node" is "/nw:networks/nw:network". Finally, we can now decide that "l3-unicast-topology" actually takes the prefix of the module "ietf-network" and there is no such node, this node is defined in the module "ietf-l3-unicast-topology". I hope it is clear now.

However, since I reviewed the version 11, since some of my ballot points have been addressed (thank you), and since I wanted to share my feedback publicly, here is my feedback. 1. The examples. In the AUTH48 for the RESTCONF RFC, the example YANG module discussion came up (again). And the examples in draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology were also discussed. Here is the feedback from one YANG doctor, from a couple of days ago. Look at this: module example-ietf-ospf-topology { ... namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:example-ietf-ospf-topology"; ... description "This module defines a model for OSPF network topologies. Copyright (c) 2017 IETF Trust and the persons identified as authors of the code. They are using the IANA-controlled namespace w/o registering it. This module *really* looks like a proper normative module, rather than an example. They went to far in trying to mimic a real module. It is clear that we need more guidelines in 6087 for how to write example modules. I was going to ask if this module passed YANG doctor review - then I checked and saw that version -02 was reviewed, which didn't include this example. How should we (the YANG doctors) handle such a case? In this case they should: 1. change the name to example-ospf-topology 2. change the namespace to urn:example:ospf-topology 3. remove the top-level statements: organization, contact, revision 4. change the top-level description to what the text in the draft says: description "This module is intended as an example for how the Layer 3 Unicast topology model can be extended to cover OSFP topologies."; (same for the other example module) As I mentioned to the authors, respective chairs and AD already, we should follow the decision in this NETMOD email thread https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netmod/current/msg17428.html This will hopefully resolve fast. Once settled, the examples should be updated. 4. leaf-list router-id { type inet:ip-address; description "Router-id for the node"; } My initial DISCUSS was: We don't want to wait for https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtgwg-routing-types-00 (btw, we should expedite this publication), but any good reason why this is aligned with its definition? typedef router-id { type yang:dotted-quad; description "A 32-bit number in the dotted quad format assigned to each router. This number uniquely identifies the router within an Autonomous System."; } My NEW DISCUSS: since is in IETF LC and on the telechat on Oct 12th, it makes sense to import its router-id ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - YANG definition "YANG: A data definition language for NETCONF" I would use: YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for network management protocols [RFC7950] - There are multiple slightly different definitions of the datastore in the different RFCs. Let's not add to the confusion. Pick one (RFC6241 should be the latest one) and mention the reference. I'm copying Lada, as the responsible YANG doctor, in case he wants to add anything. - section 7 OLD: The moodel defines NEW: The model defines
