Hi Sasha

My thoughts are that as some NLRI have the Route Type concept explicitly as
part of the NLRI framework I think it would be very valuable for operators
to have the BGP Yang model updated to reflect those NLRI that are typed and
list out all the route types.

One consideration is that for example EVPN has had continuous development
of new route types, so once BGP Yang is published you would have to update
the Yang model for any missed.  Also as long as a draft introducing a new
route type is adopted can that be the bar that is set that the type can be
added to the Yang model or would the draft have to be a published RFC
before the route type can be added.

Many Thanks for noticing this.

Kind Regards


Gyan
