Re: [L3sm] RFC 8049 on YANG Data Model for L3VPN Service Delivery

Dear all,

It seems like Jan discovered a bug.
Can the authors confirm?

One implication would be that it would not be legal to have a collection of only 'customer-managed' vpns. What would be legal, though, is to have one 'provider-managed' l3vpn with no device configuration and another 'customer-managed' with devices configured. I expect this was not the intention.
