Re: [netconf] Adoption-suitability for draft-wang-netconf-adaptive-subscription

Andy:
I fully agree there is limitation for the current filter and trigger mechanisms when we implement YANG push mechanism in our products.
We do implement this feature in our product.
We see a lot of similar implementations which try to address some of these challenges, e.g., adaptive sampling implemented
by Microsoft in Azure, Event based telemetry proposed by many different vendors,
I am hoping we need to keep on working on ECA model and align this draft with ECA.  low hanging fruit is not far from us,:-).
I also hope who are interested to tackle this issue can join and work together. We need to seek common ground while reserving differences.

主题: Re: [netconf] Adoption-suitability for draft-wang-netconf-adaptive-subscription

Hi,

I am trying to understand the problem statement in this draft.
It appears to propose a complex self-monitoring system so that YANG Push
subscriptions can change their parameters on the fly to adapt to
changing network conditions. E.g. lower the 'period' parameter when
conditions are right, to produce more push-update records than normal.

The problem is somewhat interesting.
The filtering mechanisms in YANG Push are really awful and there is a need
to improve both filter and trigger mechanisms.  I don't think this draft offers
a reasonable solution, but I encourage further experimentation.
Prove it works in real products then maybe it will be ready for standardization.

Andy

NETCONF WG,

Per the previous email sent moments ago, the chairs would like to solicit input on the following draft:

   Title: Adaptive Subscription to YANG Notification
   Link: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wang-netconf-adaptive-subscription
   Abstract:
      This document defines a YANG data model and associated mechanism
      enabling subscriber's adaptive subscriptions to a publisher's event
      streams at various different period intervals with which to report
      updates.  Applying these elements allows both subscriber and
      publisher to automatically adjust the volume of telemetry traffic
      sent from publisher to the receivers.

In particular, please discuss adoption-suitability as it regards to the following questions:

    1) is the problem important for the NETCONF WG to solve?
    2) is the draft a suitable basis for the work?

PS: this message is itself not an adoption poll, but rather an attempt to gauge interest/support for a potential future adoption poll.
