[Rtg-yang-coord] templates for protocol parameters

[Ladislav Lhotka <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

the templates that would allow for sharing/inheriting some protocol
parameters may be implemented in the current "ietf-routing" module as
follows:

1. Define a new identity for the template routing instances:

    identity template-routing-instance {
        base routing-instance;
    }

2. Define a new leaf under "routing-protocol" for referring to a
   template protocol instance:

    leaf template-ref {
        type leafref {
            path "/rt:routing/rt:routing-instance/rt:routing-protocols"
               + "/rt:routing-protocol/rt:name";
    }

With this, a routing instance of the type "template-routing-instance"
can be configured, and inside it any number of protocol instances (with
appropriate types) containing template parameters.

A "real" protocol instance would then use the "template-ref" leaf for
pointing to a template protocol instance and share/inherit its
parameters.

I think it would then be easy to map inherited parameters in the
protocol-centric design to such a template, and vice versa.

Could this work?
