Hi. dacheng and I are working through karp-ops-model updates. Section 3.4 of draft-ietf-karp-ops-model discusses VRFs and the key table. It says that probably the right answer is that each VRF should have a key table but more analysis is required. When i wrote that more analysis might be required I was mostly thinking about inter-VRF routing. I've thought more about this, but it seems like most of the use cases I can think of fall into two categories: 1) A routing peering relationship within a VRF. There you want the VRF's key table 2) A service provider routing peering that exchanges routes for multiple VRFs. There you want a key from the non-virtual VRF used by the service provider. I've convinced myself if that in the vast majority of cases it's fine to model the key table as per-VRF. So, unless there are objections I'll update the text to make this as a conceptual recommendation. Obviously the specific details are left up to the implementation and this text will not be stating any normative requirements. --Sam
