I agree – the BGP hierarchy is wrong. Address-family is generally higher both abstractly and in implementations..

Hi Mahesh,

Thanks for the update.

I'd like to comment on the new changes at a high level:


1) rib extension

This paradigm is inconsistent with other protocol models like ospf and isis, where the protocol specific routes are kept under the protocol instance tree, not under the /rt:routing/rt:ribs. Based on RFC8349, the /rt:routing/rt:ribs tree is used to model the routes per routing instance, which is better mapped to the Route Manager (whose name varies depending on the implementations).


While that might be true, routes in the BGP model currently are maintained at the per-address family level.

It is fine that routes are maintained at per-address family level, which is also done by other routing protocols. The question is how the tree hierarchy is structured.
OSPF model has the following:

module: ietf-routing
  +--rw routing
  |  +--rw control-plane-protocols
  |  |  +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name]
  |  |     +--rw ospf:ospf
  |  |        +--ro ospf:protected-routes {fast-reroute}?
  |  |        |  +--ro ospf:af-stats* [af prefix alternate]
  |  |        |     +--ro ospf:af   iana-rt-types:address-family
  |  |        +--ro ospf:unprotected-routes {fast-reroute}?
  |  |        |  +--ro ospf:af-stats* [af prefix]
  |  |        |     +--ro ospf:af        iana-rt-types:address-family
  |  |        +--ro ospf:local-rib
  |  |        |  +--ro ospf:route* [prefix]
  |  |        |     +--ro ospf:prefix        inet:ip-prefix
  |  |        |     +--ro ospf:next-hops
  |  |        +--ro ospf:statistics
  |  |        +--ro ospf:database
  |  |        |  +--ro ospf:as-scope-lsa-type* [lsa-type]

ISIS model has the following:

module: ietf-routing
  +--rw routing
  |  +--rw control-plane-protocols
  |  |  +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name]
  |  |     +--rw isis:isis
  |  |        +--rw isis:interfaces
  |  |        |  +--rw isis:interface* [name]
  |  |        |     +--rw isis:name   if:interface-ref
  |  |        +--ro isis:database
  |  |        |  +--ro isis:level-db* [level]
  |  |        |     +--ro isis:level    level-number
  |  |        |     +--ro isis:lsp* [lsp-id]
  |  |        |        +--ro isis:decoded-completed?   boolean
  |  |        |        +--ro isis:raw-data?     yang:hex-string
  |  |        |        +--ro isis:lsp-id        lsp-id
  |  |        +--ro isis:local-rib
  |  |        |  +--ro isis:route* [prefix]
  |  |        |     +--ro isis:prefix       inet:ip-prefix
  |  |        |     +--ro isis:next-hops


This BGP model uses operational state sub-tree mostly from the OpenConfig model, but OpenConfig does not augment ietf-routing and uses separate global tree. If we keep the OpenConfig sub-tree, it would be better to structure the BGP rip as following:

module: ietf-routing
  +--rw routing
  |  +--rw control-plane-protocols
  |  |  +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name]
           +--rw bgp:bgp
              +--rw global!
              +--rw neighbors
              |  +--rw neighbor* [neighbor-address]
              +--rw peer-groups
                 +--rw peer-group* [peer-group-name]
              +--ro bgp-rib
                 +--ro attr-sets
                 |  +--ro attr-set* [index]
                 |     +--ro index                   uint64
                 +--ro afi-safis
                    +--ro afi-safi* [afi-safi-name]
                       +--ro afi-safi-name       identityref
                       +--ro ipv4-unicast
                       |  +--ro loc-rib
                       |  |  +--ro routes
                       |  |     +--ro route* [prefix origin path-id]
                       +--ro ipv6-unicast
                       |  +--ro loc-rib
                       |  |  +--ro routes
                       |  |     +--ro route* [prefix origin path-id]
                       +--ro ipv4-srte-policy
                       |  +--ro loc-rib
                       |  |  +--ro routes
                       |  +--ro neighbors
                       |     +--ro neighbor* [neighbor-address]
                       +--ro ipv6-srte-policy
                          +--ro loc-rib
                          |  +--ro routes

2) module ietf-bgp is missing

Is it intentional to remove the main module ietf-bgp? The description says that bgp model augments the ietf-routing, but there is no such an augment statement in the draft. I assume that the augment statement is in the main module ietf-bgp.


That was indeed a cut-and-paste error. The next version of the draft will have the ietf-bgp module.

Thanks.
