Re: [tcpm] Last Call: <draft-ietf-tcpm-yang-tcp-06.txt> (A YANG Model for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Configuration) to Proposed Standard

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for again reading this draft. These are all good catches.

We have addressed all points noted below in the new version -07, except for one comment:

We have kept in -07 the IP address modeling that includes the zone. My own understand so far is that the models with the zone are the default in many YANG models. As a result, we probably need a reason not to allow a zone in draft-ietf-tcpm-yang-tcp. Allowing it seems a more conservative approach, and therefore we have not changed this in -07. Yet, further feedback on the use of the zone would really be welcome.

Version -07 tries to address also other IETF last call reviews and thus includes several changes. Please have a look at the new version (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-yang-tcp-07) or the diff (https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-tcpm-yang-tcp-07) and let us know if more is needed.

Best regards

Michael
