Re: [netmod] Initial version of the arch draft is available

Hi Phil,

the part about DSDL is amusing but I think it raises a big question
whether it makes sense at all to spend cycles on it. I don't agree with
the view that it is only good for managers and/or people in environments
that haven't been blessed with YANG yet.

My suggestion is to develop the YANG-to-DSDL mapping as a means for
specifying formally the relationship between a YANG model and
corresponding NETCONF PDUs. In the YANG draft, this is only specified in
prose or by examples, so I think this would actually be quite an
important specification.

What do you folks think about it?

> Abstract:
> NETCONF and YANG are pieces of an ambitious plan to improve network
> management.  NETCONF gives access to native capabilities of the
> devices within a network, defining methods for manipulating
> configuration databases, retrieving operational data, and invoking
> specific operations.  YANG provides the means to define the content
> trafficked via NETCONF, both data and operations.  Using both
> technologies, the standards modules can be defined to give
> interoperability and commonality to devices, while still allowing
> devices to express their unique capabilities.
> 
> This document describes how NETCONF and YANG help build network
> management applications that meet the needs of network services
> providers.  An architecture is described which is friendly to both
> devices and applications, to vendors and standards bodies, to young
> and to old, to red states and to blue states.  It's a startling
> vision, coming to networks near you starting August, 2009.
