I'm not sure what you mean by boiling the ocean. I'm saying that YANG is built 
and intended for querying capabilities and configuring routers. Why isn't that 
where you are looking first for configuring your monitoring application?

ZTR> I know NETCONF can do both query and configuration. And I know resent 
YANG-Push improvements to reduce the polling.  But routing protocol solutions 
are also widely used for this. There are already many RFCs and implementation 
practices. We considered both ways, and aimed for different scenarios.

You don't see the major difference between writing a YANG model vs modifying 
all of the standard IETF routing protocols?

ZTR> I know many differences between NETCONF and routing protocol. There are 
many details on both interfaces, implementations, scenarios when comparing 
them. That's what I mean boil the ocean.
Here I do not know what's the "major difference" you mean?   

Thanks,
Chris.
