RE: Comments on draft-shaikh-rtgwg-policy-model

Folks,

There’s some ambiguity in the discussion here, from my perspective:

Option A: single ‘tag’ type which can represent a protocol tag, or some ‘colour’ attribute.
Option B: multiple ‘tag’ types, a generic ‘colour’ and then per-protocol tags.

Right now, oc-policy uses option A. I can see arguments for either - but Stephane I was not clear from your view which of these you prefer - can you clarify for me please?

Thanks,
r.

We would expect to be able to have the generic marker to protocol tag and also two protocol tags with different constraints to interact between each other (I mean for example, learning a RIP tag and copying it to ISIS or OSPF).
