[netconf] Upcoming updates to draft-ietf-netconf-udp-notif

[Pierre Francois <[e-mail]>]

Hello everyone,

The changes brought to -03 followed feedback received from the group:

-- Added a private encoding option to allow for more verbose private
encoding description than what can be done in the ET Field.

-- Security section
We say this transport is not secure and alternative solutions should be
defined elsewhere so as to have a secure version of udp transport provided
by the IETF.
Note: One option could be draft-unyte-udp-notif-dtls, but we are not
mandating one particular solution in this draft.

We are suggesting the following changes in a -04 to be submitted once the
group agrees:

--IANA Section

Create IANA pools for Option type numbers and standard encoding type
numbers, and request values for the types already listed in the draft.

Once done, we could ping IANA to have an early allocation so that we could
release the collector code using the right values, and the Wireshark
dissector being developed could be merged into their main branch.

-- Update yang model
Adding segmentation configuration and maximum segment sizes.
Currently, only fragmentation configuration is supported.

IMHO, the -04 will be the version to be last called, but let's see how it
goes :)

Regards,

Pierre.
