Re: [i2rs] Question on opstate/ephemeral update

My read of the ephemeral state requirements in this regard (3.4) was 
that we are simply assigning Intended Conifg and the specific other 
cynamic control protocols priorities in the same space we are using for 
deciding between I2RS clients in the case of conflict.

So if I2RS Clients have priorities ranging from min+2 to Max-2, then 
assuming higher is better, to get the result in your first example, one 
would set intended to min-1 and dhcp to min-2.
And the reverse for your second example.

As an operator, one could assign ones clients priorities in various 
ranges, and arrange the dhcp and intended config priorities at other 
points to get more complex results.
And of course, one could set dhcp to max+1 and intended config to max+2 
to max I2RS yield to all the others, and intended config take precedence 
over everything.

Yours,
Joel
