Lou: My email message was to express my concerns as I2RS co-chair. <WG co-chair hat on> [A] does not even consider ephemeral. [B] at least considers it, but does not match I2RS requirements. As I2RS WG Chair, both [A] and [B] have problems. <WG co-chair hat off> <individual contributor hat on> Either [A] or [B] work as long as ephemeral state gets handed. On B, at least [4] and [5] at least give some ideas on handling ephemeral state. I will work with authors [1][2][3][4][5] to suggest ephemeral improvements. Will getting support [A] or [B] to work as individual contributor. <individual contributor hat off> Sue Hares ========= . [A] does not even consider ephemeral. [B] at least considers it, but does not match it. As I2RS WG Chair, [A] and [B] both has problems. <WG chair hat off> <individual contributor> [A] - will not cause me to re-write data models. All data models (BGP, I2RS) have split between operational data and configuration data. [B] As individual contributor, I appreciate that [4] and [5] at trying to work through the details of ephemeral. [5] has a really good diagram in section 4 that would work for I2RS Ephemeral Configuration State. [5] uses the term "ephemeral configuration datastore" and correctly understands what a get of the ephemeral datastore should result in. It also allows multiple layers. However, [5] has not considered the multi-headed issues in the I2RS ephemeral requirements. </individual contributor off> -----Original Message----- From: Rtg-yang-coord [mailto:rtg-yang-coord-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Lou Berger Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2016 12:23 PM To: Susan Hares; Rtg-yang-coord@ietf.org Cc: 'Benoit Claise'; i2rs@ietf.org; 'Alia Atlas' Subject: Re: [Rtg-yang-coord] Fwd: [netmod] Opstate solutions discussions: update and request for WG input Sue, I think you're looking a step beyond the scope of decision we're considering now. This is a fine thing, and certainly the right thing to be thinking about from the I2RS (or any other WG working on YANG models that is considering operational state for that matter) perspective. The decision at hand is to choose between directions A and B. I think you are saying you that you like direction B but that the details aren't sufficient for your (WG's) needs. Is this correct? If so, then I think you're point is that [4] and [5] need work. We agree with this statement and we believe consistent with the statement in B: -- and that the WG needs to formalize an opstate solution based on the approach discussed in [4] and [5]. So, once the WG closes on direction B (before Berlin), the WG can then start discussing details of the WG's version of [4] and [5] -- and issues on ephemeral support makes sense to discuss then if they still haven't been addressed. Of course discussion on the individual drafts don't need to wait for the decision on basic direction. Make sense?
