I am trying to understand if a separate list of operationally >> used addresses is needed even if we have the "applied config". I >> think the answer is yes. Then the question is if we don't need a >> separate list of operationally used interfaces as well. I may be off the mark, but I don't think that the Open Config requirements are saying that they don't want/need a separate list of operationally used interfaces, but more that they want the config and operational data for an interface to be under the same per interface container, so (i) that you can easily get all the data for an interface in a single request, or (ii) easily get the config and operational data for a particular feature on a interface without having to request the interface data from two separate lists. So, one hypothetical solution (which YANG doesn't currently allow) might be to have a single list of all interfaces, each with two leaves to indicate whether those interfaces are configured and/or operational. >> If we do, >> what value does the "applied config" idea bring us? > In my view, it provides just information that intended configuration was taken into account in an asynchronous system but, despite the definition, it may not always provide the parameter values that are operationally used. Yes, this is also my thinking for the applied config. In fact I think that it is analogous to the config states in a synchronous NETCONF commit. I.e. the cfg-applied status doesn't give you any more information than a <get-config> request would against a server after a sync config change had been committed. Ignoring errors, all the intended cfg vs applied cfg really provides is the ability for a client to determine how far through an async config commit a server has reached. It is instead of the server blocking the commit request until the request has completed. This equivalence is also one of the reasons why I don't think that applied cfg should be used for templating. Specifically, I don't think that the cfg-applied state has to guarantee that a particular config change has been programmed everywhere any more than a synchronous commit has to make that same guarantee. I.e. at the point in time that a server is happy to reply indicating a sync config request has completed should be sufficient to update the cfg-applied leaf in an equivalent async commit. > If this is true, then IMO the use case for applied configuration is too narrow and doesn’t warrant making applied configuration a general requirement. I just see it as a way to support clients that want to process configuration in an asynchronous fashion, or for servers that want to adopt an eventual consistency configuration model.
