Re: [pim] Zaheduzzaman Sarker's No Objection on draft-ietf-pim-igmp-mld-proxy-yang-09: (with COMMENT)

HI Zaheduzzaman,

Thanks a lot for your comments.

At first we would like to define many features, but finally only defined two features.  The two features are not occasionally implemented, so it is not proper to use "occasionally" here, but forgot to modify it.
According to the implementation survey, some vendor (eg, cisco) has implemented some unique functions about igmp proxy (eg. UDL device). They are the "rarely" implemented parameters.

All in all, there are some vague words in this paragraph. What about deleting this paragraph?  Thanks a lot.

BR/Hongji

Thanks for working on this specification.

This specification says -

   "occasionally implemented parameters are modeled as optional features in
this model, while the rarely implemented parameters are not included in
this model and left for augmentation.”

It is very vague in describing the criteria of selecting what is occasionally
and rarely implemented parameter. So, one might pick one parameter as rarely
implemented and the same parameter can be picked as occasionally implemented by
others. I would suggest to either describe it more or point to something where
this was discussed. It might just say - at this point this is the WG’s
concensus on the list of rarely and occasionally implemented parameters and
features.
