Hi all,

We just submited a new version of the draft. Here is a summary of chagnes:

  *   updated security consideration with detailed node info
  *   minor editorial changes

The draft was originally part of the Segment Routing model, now RFC 9020. It was suggested during AD review to split the MSD part off the SR model since it's a generic MPLS parameter. The model is small and straightforward, and had been literally reviewed many times while it was part of the SR model. We'd like the MPLS WG review it, and request WG adoption.

If you have any comments, please let us know.

<tp>
I started off with some YANG quirks but ended up concluding I really do not understand the purpose of this I-D.

You create a list indexed by interface-ref for MSD.  MPLS YANG already has a list of interfaces.  Why not use it?

You create a list for nodes indexed by msd-type.  Why? and what is the point of  msd-type?

More generally I do not understand what the identity are doing.  You have no identity for two of the three signalling protocols.  I do not know what the purpose of msd-type is.  Needs justifying in the body of the I-D IMO.

You specify two protocols for signalling MSD; why not BGP-LS?

s.1 usually includes RESTCONF

s.1.1 out of date; the YANG module has the up to date description

YANG
four authors, three are mailto: one not

MSD needs expanding in the YANG module as that will exist independent of the RFC

identity identifiers have a lot of 'base' which I think redundant
'RFC8491: Singling MSD ...'

erld-msd I think back to front; I prefer msd-erld, msd-....

groupings that are only used once often get criticised by a YANG Doctor.  Quite right too IMO it just adds complexity and makes the I-D harder to read for no benefit that I can see.

Thanks,
Yingzhen (on behalf of the co-authors)

   YANG model to provide support for MPLS Maximum SID Depths (MSDs) as
   defined in RFC 8476 and RFC 8491.
