Hi Joel

Many thanks for your comments; much appreciated.
The goal of the draft is to solicit this type of feedback. MANY THANKS!

The draft talks about applicability of the Yang over Netconf (I know you 
mentioned RESTCONF).

Specifically, the Netconf route is slow and unpredictable for real-time 
applications like tactical traffic engineering
I am not an expert in manageability, but I am afraid RESTCONF would have the 
same issue?

Looking forward to your/ WGs feedback on how to take this work forward.

Thanks

Regards … Zafar

Subject: Re: [rtgwg] RPC for programming ephemeral routing states

One thing I missed in reading this draft is why this was better than existing 
tools, e.g. YANG over RESTCONF.  For which we know the integration with the 
rest of the operational environment.  (I can believe there is an advantage, but 
I couldn't tell what it was.)

Yours,

Joel

Hi,

Recently, the industry has witnessed increasing use cases where a controller 
needs to install ephemeral routing states in the network. Protocol use requires 
the controller to implement laborious encoding, decoding, serialization of data 
streams, etc.



We have written a generic draft of routing RPC API for programming ephemeral 
routing states, using SR policy programming as an example.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ali-spring-sr-policy-programming-rpc/.

It aims to ease the programming of ephemeral routing states in the network 
using an SDN controller.



We request a review and discussion on how to forward the work to the IETF. We 
will present it at the upcoming RTGWG meeting.



Thanks
