Re: [netmod] A reworking of RFC8343

Hello Martin,

We are interested in  some specific functionality provided by RFC 8343 yang model. 

So we derivied the yang model from RFC 8343, modified it and gave module name , prefix with some modifications like "ucpe-interfaces",

but in description we kept the reference to original RFC(in future we wil modify the description to say that it is not original RFC 8343 yang module.)

IMHO it is wrong to not presice in the description(reference) of the module / RFC that was we find usefull in our work.

>Clearly unacceptable.  Unclear why a ucpe can't implement 

ietf-interfaces from RFC 8343. 
I will try to give some ideas here.  

1. uCPE phy interface has "vPorts" to witch "vLinks are assigned". "vLinks "connect" the phy interface with  "vPort" of vswitch. Thus we may add to the derieved from RFC 8343 module the list of "vPorts" for each phy interface.

example with 1 phy interface:

                              +-------------------------------------

                              |                  UCPE

                  +------------+

                  |                        |------vPort 1---vlink---(vport_sw)vswitch(vport_sw)--vlink---.....----WAN

LAN----|   Phy             |------vPort 2

                  |   interface     |

                  +-------------+

                              |

                              +----------------------------------------------

2. If we include the yang module from the RFC 8343 to the set of yang models by default it goes in the root of config mode. i.e:

EXAMPLE:

config t

      interfaces interface....

When we have a parent module we need to place the RFC 8343 module to under the parent module (like in the draft draft-shytyi-opsawg-vysm-04). 

Hence the RFC8343  may be modified to add the augment statement(as it is dome in draft-shytyi-opsawg-vysm-04)  to put the "interfaces interface" under the parent module like

EXAMPLE:
conifg t

      ucpe "ucpe X" interfaces interface...

Haha!  I don't know anything about it.

Clearly unacceptable.  Unclear why a ucpe can't implement 
ietf-interfaces from 8343.

Hmm.
