[netmod] comments on revised-datastores-00

[Ladislav Lhotka <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I've read the revised-datastores-00 document, in general I like it, here
are my initial comments and questions:

1. Even if <intended> is valid, it can still be in conflict with the
   actual content of <applied> that may come from e.g. dynamic
   configuration protocols. How are such cases supposed to be resolved?

2. What is the distinction between dynamic configuration protocols and
   control-plane protocols?

3. Shared <candidate> has known problems. Maybe it's time to part with
   it in this new datastore model?

4. Templates are briefly mentioned in several places, it would be useful
   to explain this concept in more detail.

5. Is it necessary that "<operational-state> datastore contains all
   configuration data actually used by the system"? For example, static
   routes should appear in RIBs, so having them separately in operational
   state seems redundant.

Lada
