Hi Rob,

Thanks for the follow-up.

After rereading the initial proposed updated text, I think that you have a valid point about the need for more clarity when describing the relationship between the various status data nodes. I released -11 with an attempt to make that better. Both the data nodes description and the examples are updated to reflect the intent. The relationship (including what should be considered as anomalies) are also described.

The new text also clarifies that the per-SAP service status should not be confused with the global service status (which may involved more than one SAP). Adrian's comment that a SAP failure does not imply a service failure is true for that global service status, not for the (per-SAP) service status included in the SAP.

<tp>
I do not know if my confusion is along the same lines as his but..
I am left wondering if a SAP instance is limited to one service e.g. L2VPN or whether a SAP instance can support more than one e.g. both L2VPN and EVPN.

The YANG module implies only the one.  sap-list is a list of SAP with a single container oper-status which is the 'Operational status of the service...'
i.e. a SAP has only one service status so a SAP has only one service
If there were more than one then oper-status would be a list keyed on service

In passing /povider/provider/

Hope this is better. Thanks.

Cheers,
Med
