Re: [netmod] WG Last Call for draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model-15

["Clyde Wildes (cwildes)" <[e-mail]>]

Tom,

The agreement was that I should use “xxxx” until the two unapproved RFCs that the model depends on are assigned numbers.

     RFC xxxx: Keystore Management
     RFC xxxx: Transport Layer Security (TLS) Client";

Imported are:

  import ietf-tls-client {
    prefix tlsc;
  }

  import ietf-keystore {
    prefix ks;
  }


Have numbers been assigned?

Thanks,

Clyde

    You use xxxx as a placeholder for three different RFC and two of these
    do not appear AFAICT in the list of References.
    
    This might be a challenge for the RFC Editor.

    has no idea whether the receiving system is a collector or a relay.
