Exactly. Interesting that the problem statement changed along the time.

This point was not discussed in details during the last meeting. Let's 
keep in mind that there were no BoF but two quick presentations in 
OPSAWG and the Routing Area.
My point is: shouldn't we start by walking before running, i.e. focusing 
first on consistent configuration, reporting, and presentation for the 
centralized management?

Regards, Benoit
