Re: [netmod] On prefixes again RE: IETF#119 I-D Status: draft-ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis

[[e-mail]]

Hi all,

After reviewing all the feedback so far, I modified the proposed change as follows:

NEW:
   Prefix values SHOULD be short but meaningful to the intended user.
   Prefix values SHOULD NOT conflict with known modules that have been
   previously published.

The full change can be seen here: https://author-tools.ietf.org/api/iddiff?url_1=https://boucadair.github.io/rfc8407bis/draft-ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis.txt&url_2=https://boucadair.github.io/rfc8407bis/prefix-pattern/draft-ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis.txt.

Cheers,
Med

Well first, what has been state earlier in the thread. But basically they add almost no value and gratuitously extend what is supposed to be a short identifier.

I am sorry for bringing this up.

I just grep'ed through about 1000 YANG modules to do a guestimate of the prefix usage,
looking for "meaningful" prefixes.

It is not that consistent across SDOs. IMO BBF is the best (by far).
The IETF has the most 2-letter prefixes.
DOTS and TE have structured prefixes (about 7 - 12 chars).
IMO these are good examples for new YANG modules.

The most important property is that the prefix is meaningful.


Thanks,
Chris.

Andy
