Hi Qin,

Thank you for the feedback, and so quickly after the meeting.  Much appreciated.

I have a question about suggestion 1 below.  It is easy to enumerate the list of course, but I wonder whether you (and the WG) feel that doing so might give an impression of an ordered list of importance, or some sort of decision tree, whereas, each of these items I envisage as equal in importance/priority?

For point 2, we had originally considered this to be implementation specific.  If the WG feel that we need to expose this in a standard way (?) then the authors will need to discuss, however, my initial thought would be a metadata annotation so that we avoid impacting device schema.  This would involve another annotation to the <get> and <get-data> RPCs though to turn on/off this annotation (in a similar way that <with-origin/> works on the operational datastore.  Do you have any initial feedback on that thought Qin?

Thanks
James

Hi, James:
Thank for the latest update and I have two comments:
1: In section 3.7.1, a list of node modification cases have been provided, I am wondering whether we need to enumerate all the cases for node modification or just provide as some examples, or separate it out?
2: Can you Provide an usage example of "in conflict" marker? How this "in conflict" marker is visible to the client?

-Qin

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-netconf-privcand-08.txt is now available. It is a work item of the Network Configuration (NETCONF) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   NETCONF and RESTCONF Private Candidate Datastores
   Authors: James Cumming
            Robert Wills
   Name:    draft-ietf-netconf-privcand-08.txt
   Pages:   31

Abstract:

   This document provides a mechanism to extend the Network
   Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and RESTCONF protocol to support
   multiple clients making configuration changes simultaneously and
   ensuring that they commit only those changes that they defined.

   This document addresses two specific aspects: The interaction with a
   private candidate over the NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols and the
   methods to identify and resolve conflicts between clients.
