Re: [netmod] instance file parsing - what is the target YANG module set

[Balázs Lengyel <[e-mail]>]

Hello Andy,

Give me a few days and I will come out with -01 version of the draft that addresses this issue. We propose 3 options:

• Include the needed information as part of instance data as defined by ietf-yang-library, that documents module name, revision, supported features, deviations
• Include a URI that points to the same information (if you don't want to repeat the info again and again)
• Include nothing as the target YANG module set may already be known, or the information is available through external documents.

I also see a major reason for this draft: once it is agreed we can use instance data to document other standard things, like server capabilities.

regards Balazs

Hi,

I don't see much standards value in this draft so far.

It seems the parser of the file needs to know the YANG library information

for the instance file data in some out-of-scope non-standard manner.

This is what we already have today just by naming the file in a specific way.

Is the intent that the instance-data-set leafs will be used to determine

the module revisions, features, and deviations used in the children

or the 'data' node?

Andy
