Joel:

I2RS data model is a ephemeral-only data model, and uses an rpc to do rib
add/delete, route add/delete, nexthop add/delete.  Therefore, we need
ephemeral rpc support.

Subject: [i2rs] ephemeral RPC?

We have agreed that non-ephemeral data must not reference ephemeral data.

However, we have, up till now, not had the notion of ephemeral RPCs.  I see
that the recent ephemeral requirements draft, as a side-effect of improving
clarity, creates the notion of an ephemeral RPC.

What is an ephemeral RPC, and why do we have it?
We have been, up till now, assuming that we could use normal NetConf RPCs to
set and get the ephemeral information.

Thank you,
Joel
