Hi,

Here are my comments on draft-badra-netconf-rfc5539bis-02.

Almost all of them are the same as my review of -01, but I never saw
any reply to them - except for a few that Juergen replied to and
fixed.


o  3.2
  
  OLD:

   The server MUST verify the identity of the client to ensure that the
   incoming client request is legitimate before any configuration or
   state data is sent to or received from the client.

  NEW:

   The server MUST verify the identity of the client to ensure that the
   incoming client request is legitimate before the NETCONF session is
   started.

o  3.2.1

   The NETCONF server MUST implement the algorithms for deriving NETCONF
   usernames from presented certificates that are documented in the
   ietf-netconf-tls YANG module. 

  Add a forward reference, like:

   ietf-netconf-tls YANG module, defined in Section ??.

o  3.2.1

    The NETCONF server MAY
    use any of the following algorithms to produce the NETCONF username
    from the certificate presented by the NETCONF client:

  This sounds as the server also may use some other algorithm?  Is
  this intentional?

o  3.2.1.1

   A client certificate has an identity: the certificate.  The TLS and
   corresponding protocols provide an identity.

  Did you mean "The TLS and corresponding protocols provides this
  identity"?  If not, please clarify.


o  3.2.1.1

    If a locally held copy of a trusted CA certificate is configured in
    the transformation container,

  What is "the transformation container"?

    and that CA certificate was used to
    validate the path to the presented certificate, then the NETCONF
    server SHOULD use that list entry in the transformation container.

  What should the server use that list entry for?   And since this is
  a SHOULD, it seems it doesn't have to use it?  During which
  circumstances can it choose not to use it?


o  3.2.1.2

   On the server side, this PSK
   identity is used to look up the key 

  Where?  I think this section needs to mention the data model nodes
  defined in the YANG module.


o  3.2.1.2

    If the selected pre-shared keys match and the key is
    valid, then the client is authenticated and the NETCONF username
    associated with the PSK identity.

  Bad sentence.


o  3.2.1.2

    For details on how the PSK
    identity MAY be encoded in UTF-8, see section 5.1. of RFC [RFC6241].

  Wrong reference.


o  YANG module

  The YANG module is not valid:

ietf-netconf-tls.yang:389: error: unexpected keyword "pattern"

  (pattern should be a substatement to string)

o  feature map-certificates

    "The :map-certificates capability implements mapping X.509
     certificates to NETCONF user names.";

  This is not a capability, and the ":" notation is confusing.

  NEW:

    "The map-certificates feature indicates that the server implements
     mapping X.509 certificates to NETCONF user names.";

 (ditto for map-pre-shared-keys)

o  container cert-mappings

  OLD:

     On an incoming TLS connection, the client's presented certificate
     MUST either be validated based on an established trust anchor, or
     it MUST directly match a fingerprint in this container.  This
     container does not provide any mechanisms for configuring the
     trust anchors;

  NEW:

     On an incoming TLS connection, the client's presented certificate
     MUST either be validated based on an established trust anchor, or
     it MUST directly match a fingerprint in the 'cert-map' list.  This
     module does not provide any mechanisms for configuring the
     trust anchors;

  The term "this container" is used several times in this text where
  the list 'cert-map' is meant.  Please check the text and rephrase.
   
     However, this container is
     flexible to allow for situations where existing deployed
     certificate infrastructures do not provide adequate subjectAltName
     values for use as NETCONF usernames."

  How is this flexibility done?  This needs to be clarified.

o  list cert-map

  Instead of using an integer key, I suggest you use an ordered-by
  user list with an arbitratry string as key.   This use case is why
  ordered-by user lists exist.


o leaf map-type {

  Instead of enumerating all different combinations, I suggest you use
  an ordered-by user leaf-list.  Also, I think the following structure
  would be more natural:

    choice map-type {
      leaf specified {
        type nacm:user-name-type;  // note the new type
        // replaces your "data" leaf
      }
      leaf-list from-certificate {
        type enumeration {
          enum rfc822Name;
          enum dNSName;
          enum ipAddress;
        }
        ordered-by user;
      }
    }

  Then you can use for example:

    <specified>bob</specified>

  or

    <from-certificate>dnsName</from-certificate>
    <from-certificate>rfc822Name</from-certificate>

Description of Working Group:

   Configuration of networks of devices has become a critical requirement
   for operators in today's highly interoperable networks. Operators from
   large to small have developed their own mechanisms or used vendor
   specific mechanisms to transfer configuration data to and from a
   device, and for examining device state information which may impact
   the configuration. Each of these mechanisms may be different in
   various aspects, such as session establishment, user authentication,
   configuration data exchange, and error responses.

   The NETCONF Working Group has produced a protocol suitable for
   network configuration, with the following characteristics:

   - Provides retrieval mechanisms which can differentiate between
     configuration data and non-configuration data
   - Is extensible enough so that vendors can provide access to all
     configuration data on the device using a single protocol
   - Has a programmatic interface (avoids screen scraping and
     formatting-related changes between releases)
   - Uses an XML-based data representation, that can be easily manipulated
     using non-specialized XML manipulation tools.
   - Supports integration with existing user authentication methods
   - Supports integration with existing configuration database systems
   - Supports multiple (e.g. candidate and running) data-stores to
     optimize configuration preparation and activation
   - Supports network wide configuration transactions (with features such
     as locking and rollback capability)
   - Runs over a secure transport; SSH is mandatory to implement while TLS,
     BEEP, and SOAP are optional transports.
   - Provides support for asynchronous notifications.
   - Supports an Access Control Model and a YANG module for configuring
     the Access Control parameters.
   - Supports a YANG module for System Notifications

   The NETCONF protocol has been designed independent of the data modeling
   language.  The IETF recommends to use YANG as the NETCONF  modeling
   language, which introduces advanced language features for configuration
   management.

   In the current phase of the incremental development of NETCONF the
   workgroup will focus on following items:

   1. Advance NETCONF over TLS to be in-line with NETCONF 1:1.
      This means that RFC5593 needs to be updated.

   2. To enable an implementation with a reduced code-size,
      there seems to be a need for a modular NETCONF solution
      (Netconf-Lite), which can be used e.g. in constrained
      devices or for an incremental deployment.
      The WG will create a document defining the minimal base
      of features for such a standard. The exact title of
      Netconf-Lite can be determined by the WG.

   3. Based on the implementation and deployment experience, the WG
      will document the status of NETCONF in order to advance the
      base documents (at least RFC6241 and RFC6242) on the standards
      track.

   4. Since Netconf over BEEP and over SOAP seem not being deployed
      the WG will write a document that makes those 2 protocols
      (RFC4743 and RFC4744) HISTORIC.

Hi Benoit, All,

below is a summary and action items from the discussion in the NETCONF
WG session on Monday, July 30, 2012 in the IETF 84 meeting.

PS: Draft authors please act as noted below.

- We had approx. 50 participants in the 1,5 hour NETCONF session.=20
- We reviewed the status of the WG
- We went through the documents which are proposed to become WG items
and had a good discussion.
- We also discussed documents which are not planned as WG documents.

WG status:
The WG had long discussions on the Netconf-Lite document without much
progress. At the end there seemed to be an agreement that Netconf 1.1
should be advanced to the next level and the so called Netconf-Lite
should be a separate document. A draft charter proposal is available for
discussion.

NETCONF Over TLS update - RFC 5539bis:
- The participants were in favor of adopting the document as WG item: 12
in favor, none opposed
- The action items are:
  - announce on maillist that we accept it as a WG doc (done with this
email)
  - AI: Badra submits a draft-ietf-netconf-5539bis-00
  - There will 2 weeks for comments
  - The co-chairs will start then a WGLC.

Netconf Lite:
- The participants were in favor of adopting the document as WG item: 14
in favor 1 opposed
  - Use of DTLS as a transport for Netconf-Lite would require the
development of a new transport binding. This is not part of our work
now.
  - Another document name has been suggested: netconf-core (the document
title can be decided later),
  - The co-chairs asked for showing hands concerning the intended status
of the document:=20
    5 persons are in favor of developing an Experimental document
    8 persons are in favor of having a standard track document
  - So the co-chairs assume we have rough consensus for STDS track.
  - Charter can say develop a modular netconf-lite
  - The current document with agreed changes can be used as a starting
WG document.=20
    AI: The authors are asked to submit draft-ietf-netconf-lite-00.
  - The sentence about Coman activity in the charter text will be
removed.

- Yangyfying rfc5277 (notifications)
   - Nobody in the session was in favor of yangyfying the RFC 5277 only.
People rather would like to open an 5277bis and solved different issues.
   - However, the WG is not eager to do it now.
   - This document will be removed from the WG charter proposal.

Making BEEP and SOAP transports historic:
- 12 persons are in favor, opposed 0
  - This will be made part of the charter.

- Juergen brought in the request for a "get state" mechanism.
  - The WG agrees that a discussion is needed first. Describing the
issue and a problem statement with an individual I-D would be good.
    We can discuss the problem statement and potential solutions.

Report on implementation/deployment of Netconf + SSH transport
- 8 persons are in favor, none opposed

Advancing Netconf 1.1 and SSH transport:
- 7 persons are in favor, none opposed
  - The co-chairs will add this as a charter item to advance the RFC
6241 and 6242.

- Question whether people are in favor of the charter in concept as
presented:
   12 in favor, none opposed

Netconf over Websocket:
- WG chairs believe that after many presentations and individual I-Ds
there is insufficient support in the WG to work on this (2 in favor, 2
opposed, 3 abstains).
- The author is advised to submit as individual document if he wants it
published as an RFC.

- We had some discussion on YANG API, but not enough time and not mature
enough.
- Did not have time to discuss YANG conformance issues.

Hi Bert,

We'd like to see something in the charter regarding work on additional mess=
age models. Most importantly, we'd like to see an effort to standardize a N=
ETCONF-like interface that uses REST, such as that proposed by Andy Bierman=
 in draft-bierman-netconf-yang-api-00. However, we would also like to explo=
re the possibility of using XMPP/JSON as a message model.

This also raises the question whether the NETCONF WG should explore partiti=
oning the NETCONF architecture in a manner similar to the architecture intr=
oduced with SNMPv3, separating the message processor, access control, RPC p=
rocessors, and notification processor, increasing the modularity of NETCONF=
.

Cheers,
Patrick Gili

Description of Working Group:

   Configuration of networks of devices has become a critical requirement
   for operators in today's highly interoperable networks. Operators from
   large to small have developed their own mechanisms or used vendor
   specific mechanisms to transfer configuration data to and from a
   device, and for examining device state information which may impact
   the configuration. Each of these mechanisms may be different in
   various aspects, such as session establishment, user authentication,
   configuration data exchange, and error responses.

   The NETCONF Working Group has produced a protocol suitable for
   network configuration, with the following characteristics:

   - Provides retrieval mechanisms which can differentiate between
     configuration data and non-configuration data
   - Is extensible enough so that vendors can provide access to all
     configuration data on the device using a single protocol
   - Has a programmatic interface (avoids screen scraping and
     formatting-related changes between releases)
   - Uses an XML-based data representation, that can be easily manipulated
     using non-specialized XML manipulation tools.
   - Supports integration with existing user authentication methods
   - Supports integration with existing configuration database systems
   - Supports multiple (e.g. candidate and running) data-stores to
     optimize configuration preparation and activation
   - Supports network wide configuration transactions (with features such
     as locking and rollback capability)
   - Runs over a secure transport; SSH is mandatory to implement while TLS,
     BEEP, and SOAP are optional transports.
   - Provides support for asynchronous notifications.
   - Supports an Access Control Model and a YANG module for configuring
     the Access Control parameters.
   - Supports a YANG module for System Notifications

   The NETCONF protocol has been designed independent of the data modeling
   language.  The IETF recommends to use YANG as the NETCONF  modeling
   language, which introduces advanced language features for configuration
   management.

   In the current phase of the incremental development of NETCONF the
   workgroup will focus on following items:

   1. Advance NETCONF over TLS to be in-line with NETCONF 1:1.
      This means that RFC5593 needs to be updated.

   2. To enable an implementation with a reduced code-size,
      there seems to be a need for a modular NETCONF solution
      (Netconf-Lite), which can be used e.g. in constrained
      devices or for an incremental deployment.
      The WG will create a document defining the minimal base
      of features for such a standard. The exact title of
      Netconf-Lite can be determined by the WG.

   3. Based on the implementation and deployment experience, the WG
      will document the status of NETCONF in order to advance the
      base documents (at least RFC6241 and RFC6242) on the standards
      track.

   4. Since Netconf over BEEP and over SOAP seem not being deployed
      the WG will write a document that makes those 2 protocols
      (RFC4743 and RFC4744) HISTORIC.

A couple of comments.

 1.  Doing this as a standards track document will be confusing.  Why
     do we have two standards doing almost the same thing?  If we
     really believe this is a useful standard, why not change
     base:1.1?

 2.  The motivation for this work as stated is to be suitable for
     constrained devices.  AFAIK there is one implementation of this,
     and the implementor was not sure that this is the right solution
     for constrained devices.

I wasn't supporting or opposing this work in the meeting, but after
giving it some more thought, I am opposed to doing this.

So maybe we should change
                       which can be used e.g. in constrained
      devices or for an incremental deployment.
into
                       which MIGHT be used e.g. in constrained
      devices or for an incremental deployment.
might in lowercase of course, used capitals to show the change.

Do we have to respin RFC 6241 to advance it? I think there is an open
errata. (And if we do more interoperability testing, there might even
be more errata coming along.)

I am concerned that we might leave a confusing impression if we do all
of the below more or less at the same time:

- publish a revision of RFC 6241 to advance it
- publish a competitor to RFC 6241(bis) called NC Lite
- publish an extension (to both?) solving the get operational
  state issue

Perhaps we need to rethink the isolated decision and look at the
overall direction we want to go. And perhaps bundling all the above
into a single revision of RFC 6241 (which later might advance without
a further revision) is overall simpler and less confusing.

Understood. But see thesummary of our meeting posted by
Mehmet. We do not have a base document yet that is mature
enough to start our work in this space.

Hi,

I am not objecting to NETCONF Light, but I have some concerns
about this work.
   - the lack of coordination with COMAN
      If this work is for management of constrained devices (as it claims)
      then I do not understand how COMAN can possibly be left out
      of the equation

   - the assumption that a pure subset of NETCONF base:1.1 is the
     correct solution for constrained devices.  The only implementor
     of NETCONF Light says this might not be the best solution.
     I would like to know more about this implementation experience.

  - the new client/old server problem: A client supporting all 3 versions
    of NETCONF needs to be able to connect to a server using the
    "correct" version, using just 1 session attempt.  I don't think base:1.1
    can just be ignored in this new work.

  - wrt/ protocol mechanics there is no difference between calling it
    NETCONF light or base:1.2.  That is pure politics.  If we really need
    to cycle at proposed standard to make the protocol work correctly, then this
   is more important than advancing 6241/6242 at this time

Andy

I believe we did indeed discuss this in our session, and the outcome
was that the majority of people want to advance 6241/42.

People who were not present and want to state an opinion, by all
means, please do so.

We took polls on isolated questions and the result in combination
looks, well, to some contributors somewhat surprising or not like a
well thought out plan or whatever your preferred wording is.

We by no means aim to address the management needs of constrained
devices in the Netconf WG.
Netconf-Lite (or whatever you call it) is just for one single purpose,
namely reducing the code size with modular implementations.
We assume that this _could_ be useful for small  devices _or_ for
incremental deployment.

That said I don't think Netconf-Lite is a competition to base 1.1.
If advancing Netconf 1.1 is not an urgent issue my personal suggestion
would be to do it as 1.2.

I find the premise that you can reduce the code size be refactoring
the protocol to be somewhat absurd.  You can take out functionality
and the protocol does less useful things.  Whether this is progress
or not is a subjective matter.

Yep we MUST fix any reported/open errata.
But that is allowed as far as I understand the process.

That was sort of the rough consensus during the meeting.
That is why we propose in the charter text stds-track.
But we (WG) can at any time decide that we rather see it published
as Experimental as well

I thought we had tabled that one and are waiting for individual

I have no skin in this. If (as a result of this poll for comments
on the proposed charter text) we see consensus forming on doing your
suggestion... that is fine by me too.

People just need to speak up and express their opinions.

It does NOT claim that it will solve all COMAN problems.
It states:
   2. To enable an implementation with a reduced code-size,
      there seems to be a need for a modular NETCONF solution
      (Netconf-Lite), which can be used e.g. in constrained
      devices or for an incremental deployment.
      The WG will create a document defining the minimal base
      of features for such a standard. The exact title of
      Netconf-Lite can be determined by the WG.

So "which can be used e.g. in constrained devices..."
I have already offered to do s/can/might/
My understanding was that in our session we came to consensus
that it is not our primary goal to address all COMAN requirements.

You mentioned that in the NETCONF session. I thought we agreed that
we can work out the details for that once we start the work in the WG.

We showed the overall concept of the new charter text and conceptually
I believe everyone supported that.
But if people want to change their position, then pls do speak up.

Not really.  I want to advance 6241 but it is not as important
as a workable solution for customers.

I need to support tools that implement NETCONF.
IMO the premises supporting NL are seriously flawed.
Customers are not going to care about refactoring the protocol spec.
They will care that the client is way slower now (because copy-config
requires the entire config be retrieved, edited and replaced, or since
there is no filtering the entire config always has to be retrieved and
filtered on the client instead).   The changes proposed for NL
will have a huge negative impact on protocol performance.

Badra

Your description of RFC822 names makes reference to a host part.

This is incorrect - it should be a domain part, as per RFC822.

I believe that advancement of this, or of most protocols, is an
irrelevant distraction, like changing the number of steps of
advancement.

Most people in this world have no awareness of the status, quite a few
equate I-D to a standard.  Yes, I have heard on IETF lists of a few
organisations which do treat the change in status as material but to me
it seems to be more about the status of those involved:-(

So, an academic issue (unlike producing a better 'base and towers'
model, where the base is suitable for devices that are not multicore,
multiGHz workstations:-)

You know what is not academic?  Interoperability.
IMO, most NETCONF server implementations are
somewhat  broken.  The WG  can ignore artificial standards
classifications if it wants, but advancement requires that
interoperability testing be done -- something the WG has
completely ignored from the start.

We have a core + towers approach now.  Some people think
locking and filtering are much too complicated to implement
so we are going to work on making the core smaller.
Since the general implementation quality is so poor, I am forced
to consider the possibility that we over-reached with NETCONF
and need to lower our expectations (and reduce the mandatory
feature  set).

Yes, interoperability is paramount, else we have nothing, but I
am less sure that advancement achieves that, based on the
reports I have seen produced.  Some are good, but many seem
weak.

And, ironically, I seem to recall, early in the days of Netconf, at
Paris,
being impressed by how quickly Netconf had got into
interoperability testing:-)

Is it the compromise solution to publish N-L and get-oper together in a
6241bis leading to a 1.2?
Sounds a doable way forward to me.

I would appreciate if we can close the very long discussion with such a
solution.

It might also be useful to do some interoperability testing so that
any needed fixes or clarifications can be included in a 1.2
version. This may increase the likelihood that we get a 1.2
specification that is good enough for advancement without another
revision.

Interoperability testing can certainly be part of the "advancement" process
as input for the Implementation/Deployment/Interoperability report that
we must provide.

But interoperability testing is not necessarily a WG chartered
activity or obligation. Of course if we as WG chairs can help
to get such an event going, we will do so as much as we can.

Do we want to do this ASAP or at or around the next IETF?
If ASAP, is anyone offering to arrange it at their site/location?
If needed, I think I can arrange space at the RIPE-NCC in
Amsterdam. Let me know if I should investigate.

I would be interested in attending.
It might lead to an Implementation Guidelines document.
It seems obvious, but the more complicated and arbitrary
the client request, the less likely the server will implement
it correctly.  (e.g., alter 1 resource at a time works OK but
altering N resources at once is not handled correctly.)

I now think base:1.2 is our least-worst option, especially
if we start working on operational data.  Martin and Juergen
have some good ideas for operational data and it should
be worked on ASAP.

I support the idea of integrating all the above ideas into a revision of 6241. I believe that with a little care it can be done so that existing implementations of 1.1 will have very few problems in adapting to the new version.  

Having two standard track protocols where protocol A has the same functionality as protocol B + several optional capabilities is IMO hardly defensible, to say the least.

I have hear a "yes I am interested" from Andy and from Martin.
Are there any others?

I don't think that organizing ot for just 2 implementations
makes sense... well, they could then visit each other instead
of me organizing it in Amsterdam.

So pls express your potential interest before Aug 15th.
If there is enough interest, then I will investigate possible
options in Amsterdam.

Maybe we can set something up online instead of meeting for a few days
in Amsterdam.

We might participate, depending on whether we find enough time to
update our "old" test suite to cover NETCONF 1.1 and some newer data
models.  Jacobs University can also very easily host such an
event. While Bremen is easily reachable from Stockholm and most
European hubs, it might be a bit more inconvenient for people from
other continents.

I can not really allocate the travel and time expense for this,
but I can participate online, assuming you will have
Internet access at the test.

You can also just download yuma at any time, (since Aug. 2010):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yuma/
Install and test all you want.

We also have a test suite to validate NETCONF implementations and, of
course, we have a number of NETCONF implementations (JUNOS, IVE, VSE, BX,
plus some device-adapters).

Can we create a matrix of all the tests we'd like to run?  Perhaps we can
start by each of us enumerating our clients and servers, and with which
base versions are supported.  Should we also enumerate which optional
capabilities are supported?

   Name              Type      Base Versions    Comments
   --------------    ------    -------------
-----------------------------
   DMI Test Suite    client    1.0 only         can test any NETCONF
implementation
   Space             client    1.0 only         needs a data model defined
via XSD
   NSM               client    1.0 only         needs a data model defined
via XSD
   Junos             server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD
   IVE               server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD
   VSE               server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD

   BX                server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD

   VSE               server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD

   ScreenOS adapter  server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD
   Trapeze adapter   server    1.0 only         data model defined via XSD



Like Andy, it would be difficult for me to travel for this (unless at IETF
85), but it seems that we should be able to do this online - especially
with Skype video, screen-sharing, and what not...


Thanks,
Kent

We have a relatively new NETCONF client implementation (NETCONFc) and is 
interested
in such an event. But in my view, right now perhaps it's more important 
to focus on getting
the initial set of IETF standard track YANG modules (ietf-system, 
ietf-interfaces, etc. ) out
the door before such Interoperability testing event.

Our NETCONFc client application implements NETCONF 1.1 and 1.0.

It takes vendors awhile to get server implementations of standard modules done.
We can test retrieval of ietf-netconf-monitoring, etc., but it may be awhile
before all servers we want to test support the same configuration module.

Hello Bert,

In MG-SOFT we are also interested. We are more interested in an on-line
interop testing, at least in the first step, which could also lead to a
face-2-face meeting in Bremen, Amsterdam or someplace else.

In MG-SOFT we have various NETCONF and YANG applications and our NETCONF
protocol implementation supports both 1.0 and 1.1.


Best regards for now,

Matjaz

I was trying to be accommodating on NETCONF Lite, even though
I don't agree that it will significantly reduce server code size.
I would rather drop the whole thing than spend lots of time
debating which features can be removed and how much server code
will be removable.  I think a tiny constrained device should avoid
SSH, XML, and state-full protocols for configuration management.

I think operational state could be interesting to work on, but
I have not seen any solution proposals, so I don't support
any sort of charter item for that work yet.

The NETCONF over TLS maintenance work is minor and
non-controversial.  I do not object to that work.

Hi,

my position regarding the alternatives for future NETCONF work is:

- The issues of operational state representation and modelling need to =
be worked on. This will most likely require changes in both base NETCONF =
and YANG.
- If 6241bis is started as a result of previous item, it would be very =
useful to make NETCONF more modular, and also address other things =
(errata, conformance, better integration with YANG).
- I therefore prefer to advance the base NETCONF spec, i.e. NETCONF 1.2.

My position is as follows:

a) We should finish the NETCONF over TLS update.

b) The WG needs to define how to retrieve and perhaps edit operational
   state. This is crucial, without a solution for this, NETCONF
   remains incomplete. Since I find retrieval of operational state
   crucial, I would rather have the solution part of NETCONF 1.2
   instead of a separate extension.

   My recommendation is that people (or groups of people) draft
   proposals (individual IDs) and the WG selects one by the next IETF
   to be incorporated into NETCONF 1.2.

c) Implementors need to do interoperability testing. It is crucial to
   understand to what extend the specifications we have lead to
   interoperable implementations. I know that interoperability testing
   is not really a WG work item for a WG charter but it is crucial to
   undertake this activity since usually such tests also identify bugs
   in the specifications.

d) Any errata and any interoperability test results identifying
   unclear aspects of the specification should be incorporated into
   NETCONF 1.2. Ideally, NETCONF 1.2. would prove to be bug free
   enough that it later can even advance without re-publication.

e) I have no clear opinion concerning modularization. In my view, we
   should not do anything at this point in time to support NETCONF on
   very constrained devices. If we do some modularization, then we
   should look at interoperability issues with boxes that do not
   support NETCONF fully because they proxy for boxes that say can't
   do locking or they do not support structured data models. Some of
   the solutions such as lying about locks or pretending that the data
   model of the box is just a single element likely are worse than
   adding a few well selected features. Truth in advertising I believe
   is desirable and helpful for interoperability.

   My recommendation here would as well be that people (or groups of
   people) draft concrete modularization proposals (individual IDs)
   and the WG selects by the next IETF. And the selection might very
   well be an empty set.

Hi,

I don't agree that protocol modularity is an important problem to solve.
The protocol is already very modular, in that there MUST implement
list for a server is already quite small, considering "read-only running"
is the minimum requirement.

I do not agree operational-state is critical to solve.
I have not seen a clear problem statement yet.
We can go looking for corner-cases to solve, with ever diminishing returns
on WG effort and time.

There are work-arounds to the operational state problems
(define 2 leafs ala admin/operStatus for duplex=auto;
 define custom write-state RPC operation).
I don't agree the operational state problem requires that
the protocol version be updated and base:1.1 be made obsolete.

I agree with Phil that we should not even send the signal that base:1.1 is
going to be obsolete, and replaced by a base:1.2.  We can continue to
add nice-to-have operations and capabilities, without continuously
spinning the base protocol.

My position is:

- NETCONF and YANG do not need further churn
  - Churn discourages adoption
  - The "1.2" effort should be avoided
  - The needs of NETCONF are already very low
    - Lowering them is pointless
    - I've no sympathy for the argument that implementing
      a single global lock is too expensive
- Operational state is an unsolved problem
  - There is no single, simple way to represent this data
- SDN, IRS, and other related projects are looking at data
  that is neither config, nor operational data and we need
  to investigate their needs and find suitable means of modeling
  this data
- The above two items can be solved using extensions (no churn)

Thanks,
 Phil

Again, it's not an issue of it being difficult for the device team to
implement locking.  Since we're developing an off-box device-adapter, the
device-team doesn't even know there is a need.  I don't know why they
don't have a global lock, perhaps they think that only having
writable-running makes it safe enough, but it doesn't matter, our
device-adapter is *lying* about the device fully supporting NETCONF and
blindly returns <ok/> for lock/unlock.

Implementation costs will vary greatly for individual features.
We really have to look at a feature and decide if the standard
really needs it to be robust and interoperable.

IMO, global locking meets this test.  It cannot be removed.
There are many known deadlock scenarios and other 'bad outcome'
operation sequences that cannot occur if locking is properly used.

Subtree filtering and edit-config may not meet this test,
but the alternate solutions are extremely inefficient.
These are the most popular features of NETCONF,
not some obscure unused operations.

Hi,

We (tail-f) have a couple of different NETCONF clients, and a NETCONF
server, implementing 1.0 and 1.1.

I would prefer a f2f meeting for the interop, b/c I believe we can
easier discuss interpretations of the text and fix issues in the code
and continue testing if we meet.  If Amsterdam (or Bremen) is
difficult, how about doing the interop say Saturday / Sunday before
the next IETF?

That is a good idea, except it might be better Friday/Saturday if
people have IETF (or other I*) meetings on Sunday.  Not sure
how we test servers embedded in networking devices either.

What modules are we testing?  Just published in RFCs?
Not much config=true so far.  I would not blame vendors
for waiting until the new modules are published before
starting any implementations.

Hi,

I agree that work needs to be done on the operational state problem
(and I plan to work on this and submit an individual I-D).

However, I think it might be too early to say if the solution to this
problem requires an update to NETCONF and/or YANG, or can be done
using only extensions.

I do not think the WG should do further modularization of the base
protocol.

So...

Anyone who knows people that can help with arranging a location
in Atlanta, before the Next IETF.
I think the dates would indeed best be Friday and Saturday
2-3 November 2012.

This sort of test event requires some planning.
IMO people should not be required to attend in person
so conference calls (WebEx?) will be needed.

Shipping routers and switches to Atlanta for this test seems extreme,
so vendors should be able to setup servers in a DMZ for testing.
Decent Internet connectivity will be needed (IETF net will not be
ready so have to use hotel wifi).

Mutual NDA is usually required.  The point of the test is to improve
code, not beat up vendors for having bugs.  We can report problem
areas in the RFCs without identifying which implementations had
trouble.

We need to identify 'false interoperability' (e.g., client apps that have been
working for years with various servers by coding workarounds to particular
server bugs.)

If we need to spend a lot of time setting up equipment, then we have to
rent a conf. room that can be locked.  IMO, if we brought some Ethernet
hubs and cables, we could find somewhere to test each day, and not
leave equipment setup.

If we find (after bugfixes) that we have at least 2 independent implementations
of all features, then the discussion about base:1.2 vs. standards advancement
of base:1.1 will get interesting. ;-)

Hi All,=20

it seems that I can book some rooms for November 2-3, 2012 in NSN
Atlanta office at the Glenridge connector NE, which is 12-13 miles away
from Atlanta downtown.
There are hotels nearby, e.g. Courtyard Perimet Ctr Marriott and Holiday
Inn Express (less expensive), The Westin Atlanta North (closest). May be
should organize to book the same hotel to ease the transport.

The meeting rooms AFAIK have beamer, phone and Internet connection via
WLAN. I assume we bring the equipment we need such as notebooks, some
Ethernet hubs and cables, etc.

To get into the building on Saturday I definitely need the concrete name
list some time earlier. So, whether we do such an interop event we
should decide by e.g. October 1, 2012 and people interested should let
me know their full name and affiliation by then privately.

Cheers,=20
Mehmet=20

Based on the comments and feedback and the positions
expressed on the mailing list, it is clear that after all
we did NOT have consensus on the new WG charter.

Without further ado, this is another proposed WG charter.
It focuses on the things that we do seme to have agreement on.

Pls comment and/or express your support or objections
no later than August 31, 2012.

OK, new chapter text (omitting the description of what we have
achieved sofar):

   In the current phase of the incremental development of NETCONF the
   workgroup will focus on following items:

   1. Advance NETCONF over TLS to be in-line with NETCONF 1:1.
      This means that RFC5593 needs to be updated.

   2. Based on the implementation, deployment experience and interoperability
      testing, the WG will document the status of NETCONF in a report.
      Based on this, the WG may decide to make some clarifications to
      RFC6241 and RFC6242 (then also fixing any reported errata).

   3. Since Netconf over BEEP and over SOAP seem not being deployed
      the WG will write a document that makes those 2 protocols
      (RFC4743 and RFC4744) HISTORIC.

Goals and Milestones:
   done     - Send with-defaults to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   done     - WG Last Call on rfc4741bis
   done     - rfc4741bis to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   done     - Send rfc4742bis to IESG for consideration as proposed Standard.
   done     - first WG draft (rev 00) on NACM posted
   done     - first WG draft (rev 00) on NETCONF specific YANG modules posted
   done     - WGLC for NACM document
   done     - WGLC for NETCONF specific notifications document
   done     - submit NACM document to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   done     - submit NETCONF specific notifications  document to IESG for
              consideration as Proposed Standard
   Aug 2012 - submit initial WG draft for rfc5539bis
   Aug 2012 - submit initial WG draft for making RFC4743 and RFC4744 historic.
   Sep 2012 - WGLC for rfc5539bis
   Sep 2012 - WGLC for RFC4743 and 4743 to historic
   Oct 2012 - submit rfc5539bis to AD/IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   Oct 2012 - submit request to AD/IESG to make RFC4743 and 4744 historic
   Nov 2012 - Collect Implementation/Deployment reports for RFC6241 and 6242
   Dec 2012 - Initial I-D for RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience
   Jan 2013 - WGLC on RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience
   Feb 2013 - submit RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience doc
              to IESG for publication as Informational RFC.
   Mar 2013 - Evaluate if more work needs to be done by NETCONF WG or close WG

It is not necessary to mention in the charter that interested parties
can bring I-Ds into discussion following the usual WG process.

Hi,

I had the impression that there was a reasonable agreement that work on operational state data is needed. Although this problem lies somewhere between NETCONF and NETMOD, I think the NETCONF WG is now in a better position to start this work because apparently NETMOD WG will have to continue the work on the core data models for some time.

So I propose the following fourth item for the charter:

4. The WG will investigate the relationship and interactions between configurations and
   operational state data, propose their appropriate representation and semantics, and 
   devise methods for effective data modeling of both configurations and operational state data.
   It is expected that this work will be carried out in a close sooperation with the NETMOD WG.

Lada

We had agreed in our last f2f meeting that people would submit
individual I-Ds, and based on that we would potentially
consider work in this space. So by all means do submit
such individual drafts and discuss them on the mailing list.

But we do not have a good problem statement or starting I-D
to base this work on, so cannot put it on the current charter.

Trouble is, I think that the distinction between operational state and
configuration data is an artificial one, that is that the Netconf/MOD
WGs have adopted a definition that allows an object to be classified as
one or the other but that the distinction is not then a helpful one when
it comes to operating networks.

Whilst focussing on core data models, then this issue hardly arises, the
objects of interest are mostly configuration; get more sophisticated and
I think that we open up a can of worms that we are unlikely to resolve
any better than we have to date.

Actually, we have no definition of "operational state" in 6241 or
6020.  6241 mentions the term, but 6020 does not.  And this is the
problem - how to identify what is the operational state (the schema),
how to view the current operational state ("<get-operational>") and
how to edit the (writable subset of the) operational state.

Maybe, but I hope not :)

I agree, therefore the definitions of operational state and configuration data should be clarified.

It is clear that even the existing core modules need some more state data to be really useful. For example, the "ietf-ip" module doesn't offer any means for obtaining auto-configured adresses that are in operational use on an interface.

Yes, it can (and will) get tricky, but I think we should at least try to address this issue.

Is any operational-state writable?  How would it be different than
ephemeral configuration, such as what the SDN folks want?

I brought this issue during RFC 4741 discussions.
I wanted a 3rd classification for this 'middle ground', I called 'tconfig'.
But we ended up with a boolean <get-config> + <get>.

I brought it up again in 2009:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netmod/current/msg03812.html

The SDN discussions seem to include access-control, rollback and
roll-forward, and other CM-like tasks for which NETCONF already
has standard solutions. I don't know if "SDN content" should be
defined in YANG -- that is a different part of the problem space.

That surprises me.  RFC6020 has a lot to say about configuration and
state data, implying that they are the two alternatives, the former
writable, that latter mostly not. Unless, of course, you are
differentiating
state and operational state, in which case I do not know what the
latter is.

Lada's item 4 also suggests to me that there are just two already
defined
alternatives.  If not, then item 4 does not seem to make sense to me.

Is any operational-state writable?

<tp>
Previous list discussions suggested not, to me, but RFC6020 says

" state data: The additional data on a system that is not
      configuration data such as read-only status information and
      collected statistics [RFC4741]."
which could be parsed as
"read-only status information" "collected statistics" ...
or
"read-only status information" " read-only collected statistics"
"read-only ...".
I assumed the latter, as I did that state and operational state
are equivalent.

The routing(forwarding) table is an interesting case to model, with
entries put in explicitly, statically;
entries put in implicitly from the configuration of an ip address on an
interface;
entries learnt from a routing protocol;
entries calculated as a result of link state information from a
protocol;
and all that then subjected to a configurable filtering algorithm which
may or may not yield one or more best routes.
Operationally, I would hope to see the combined routing(forwarding)
table that the box is using, regardless of its classification by
configuration, state or whatever.

How would it be different than
ephemeral configuration, such as what the SDN folks want?

Thanks,

My take is that what really matters is the full set of operational state =
data because it is what governs the device behaviour. NETCONF then =
provides an interface for changing (parts of) this operational state.

As I understand it, "writable operational state", "ephemeral config" =
etc. just mean other similar (and usually simpler) interfaces.

I think it should go to netmod WG. It is about data model.

"operational state" is what the current operational state is, not
what you asked it to be.  The real state will be an outcome driven
by configuration data (the existing NETCONF datastores), external
sources (BGP peers, link state databases, RADIUS servers, DHCP
replies, etc), and some local logic (protocol engines, dhclient.conf,
etc).  You should always be able to ask "what did I tell you to set it
to" distinctly from "what is the current operational value".

Thanks,
 Phil

This matches my view as well.

To me, ephemeral configuration is *config* that either goes to a special
datastore or to the "running" datastore with an XML-attribute indicating
that it's ephemeral.  Likewise, we either <get-config> on a special
datastore or with a flag to the running datastore indicating that
ephemeral config should also be returned, with the nodes annotated with a
XML-attribute to distinguish them from standard config.

Comparing this to Andy's 3rd-state (tconfig), I guess this puts me in the
"boolean boat"  ;)

Regarding moving this discussion to the NETMOD list so that the data
modeling aspects can be sorted, I think that it's the *conceptual* model
that needs to be worked out first and thus suggest keeping the discussion
here, if we choose to discuss it all, since it didn't come up as a charter
item before.  Of course, all this assumes that a XML-based protocol is
performant enough for the use-cases that we'd be trying to enable...

I tend to agree as well.

I do think there are additional distinctions.  E.g. physical immutable prop=
erties associated with a device, such as its equipment type or serial numbe=
r - clearly not config, but the term "operational data" does not capture it=
 quite either.  Likewise, historical records (e.g. of events). =20

At the end of the day, what is important is who "owns" the data, i.e. where=
 it originates from - an external app or the managed system - this is what =
I think the operational / config data distinction ultimately refers to (mak=
ing "operational" somewhat of a misnomer) - and whether the data is "transi=
ent" or "persistent", which could be covered by the notion of different dat=
a stores.=20

One aspect or distinction that could perhaps be made clearer concerns the n=
otion of data stores _complementing_ each other, versus providing _alternat=
ives_ to one another.  The aspect of ephemeral data points to the need to p=
erhaps distinguish multiple data stores, which collectively provide the "ov=
erall" view of the managed system, as opposed to e.g. the notion of running=
 and startup and candidate which provides more alternative views of the sam=
e information.  The ability to make such a distinction of complementing vs =
"competing" data stores is something that appears to be missing. =20

I can easily understand "ephemeral config" or Andy's "transient config", 
but the concept of " operational state data" and "the writable subset of 
the operational state" are rather  hard for me to grasp.

I think Kent explained this very well.  I think "ephemeral config" (or 
Andy's "transient config") can still be considered as 'config data'. It 
would be nice we can keep things simple and conceptually only maintain 
two set of data: (readonly) state data and (readwrte) config data.

I am not sure the "ephemeral config" should go to a special datastore 
because doing that means the device needs to look at the "config 
datastore" and "transient config datastore" to get to its operational 
state.  Is that a bad or good thing, I don't know... guess further 
discussion is needed.

That could work. But if a device does not support <:writable-running> 
then we have a problem.

I think <get-config> would not return 'tconfig' like I said in 2009.
That was wrong.  Martin's <get-operational> would return tconfig
and <edit-operational> would allow it to be changed.

It is a fuzzy boundary.
A config=true table to pre-load an ARP cache with static entries
seems clearly to be config.  But what if the entries are not stored
across a reboot but rather generated on the fly (e.g., launch VM)?
This is the middle ground -- client injecting stuff into the control plane.
This seems to be what SDN needs, and <edit-operational> would
address that.  It is not intended to write server state or statistics.

PLEASE.... pay attention to the SUBJECT line.

We (WG chairs) are trying to get AGREEMENT of a pretty
simple, short, straight forward WG Charter to let us
finalize some work in the coming 3-6 months.

It was clear from earlier charter discussion (WGLC etc) that
the WG does NOT AGREE on what exactly to do for
- REST API or YANG API
- operational (or other) non-config data.

We (WG Chairs) are FINE if you discuss these matters (with
appropriate SUBJECT lines PLEASE) on teh WG list.
It may result in good individual I-Ds (for next ietf
or the one after that) so that we can THEN consider to
take any of these work items as WG work items.

For NOW, PLEASE do let us know if you support (or object to)
the simple short/concise proposed new WG charter.
If so, we can quickly get it approved by the IESG, and I
think we can then also quickly (i.e. within 3-6 months)
complete that work.

In parallel, we/you can discuss these other matters, but PLEASE
PLEASE use appropriate SUBJECT lines, so that it is easier to wade
thought the relevant postings for a specific subject issue.

Bert

Going back to the original question, I cannot see how we can
meaningfully work on item 2) without first resolving this issue of a
third type of data.  Most of the views expressed in the past day or so
seem to support the existence of a third type, which is something I
cannot reconcile with RFC6241 as currently worded.  In which case, item
2) does not make sense to me.  As Lada says, 'there was a reasonable
agreement that work on xxx' is needed for some choice of the phrase xxx.

The way I see this is that NETCONF currently does not support
read/write of operational state.  This would be an additional feature
that we might add in the future.  But this should not preclude us from
verifying the existing protocol with its current features (which I
beleive what item 2 is about).

EXACTLY. It has been a long while (I believe) that we last did any
interoperability testing. Would be very good to know what the
state of the art is and if the RFCs are clear for implementers.

Yes, but should we be approving the definitions in NETCONF base of there
only being two kinds of data when we seem to have established that there
are
more? I think not.

I was not suggesting we go as far as Lada, in developing schema and
protocol,
but that we should update the definitions to accept that there is at
least
one more type of data - such as ephemeral configuration - which is a
subject
for future work.

I prefer 'ephemeral configuration' to operational state, since we have
resolutely
stated for 10 years than state is read only whereas configuration is
written, so
now to have writable state seems a bigger somersault than to have
ephemeral
configuration.

Item 2) was:

  2. Based on the implementation, deployment experience and
     interoperability
     testing, the WG will document the status of NETCONF in a report.
     Based on this, the WG may decide to make some clarifications to
     RFC6241 and RFC6242 (then also fixing any reported errata).

I think both these activities can be done w/o introducing "operational
state" (or whatever the term will be).

However, if (as a result of the report) we open 6241, there is of
course an opportunity to define more terms etc...

To me, "ephemeral configuration" seems to indicate that it is a
separate datastore, probably merged with the running datastore to
produce the initial operational state (what the device is *really*
using).

The IRS people had a use case where they wanted to inject routes into
the routing table.  If the routing table is operation state, they need
to modify the operational state through a protocol.

I think a solution that directly modifies the operational state is
easy to understand and use, but a solution that merges different
datastores will be very complex.  But I guess we need to work out the
details and describe the solutions we believe work in individual
drafts.

Yes, it can be done:-)

I think though, that given the current debate about how many states
there are, it would be wrong not to tackle the issue as part of 2)
i.e 2) should call out this issue as a possible clarification, that
we agree that this must be looked at even if we do not go as far
as new protocols or schema.

OK, after this clarification I support the charter with your three items.

I am sorry for leading this thread a little astray, it was not my intention.

Why is it then called ephemeral? To me, this adjective indicates that this configuration will disappear after a while.

But is this really different from NETCONF? The NETCONF client provides a list of static routes and these routes eventually appear in the routing table. Writing directly to the routing table just bypasses - for better or worse - all bells and whistles of the NETCONF stack (and maybe other software).

It's like with the speed of a car - a normal driver's interface are only the pedals while a serviceman may be able to connect a special-purpose computer to achieve the same effect more directly.

The statement that operational state is not writeble means (to me at least) that the NETCONF client can achieve modifications in the state only through writing something to the running datastore.
However, the state as such must be modifiable, otherwise the device wouldn't be very interesting.

I agree with Martin that operational state can be added as a new capability=
.
There is no impact on interoperability of existing operations that I can se=
e.

Here is a list of operational state examples that Lada raised 3 years ago:

   The recent examples demonstrate various interactions between config and
    operational parameters, e.g.

     - IP address configured either manually (from a config item) or via DH=
CP
     - use global value if local is not set (hold-time example)
     - operational routing table is a union of static routes (config item)
       and routes obtained from routing protocols

I think the each NETMOD YANG module addresses these operational state
issues in an ad-hoc manner.  The new feature we are calling "operational st=
ate"
is to be able to handle this class of data in a generic manner.

Currently we can use the description-stmt to say that
operStatus is related to the adminStatus leaf.  We can write
a custom RPC called <inject-route> if we want to modify
specific operational routing data.

I am not seen any generic solution proposals and I am not
convinced that a generic approach will be worth the cost,
and be that much better than the ad-hoc approach we
already have.

I certainly do not agree that base:1.1 is broken because we
have an ad-hoc solution instead of a generic solution for this corner-case.

I have a hard time using the term "config" for a route learned via
BGP or an address learned via DHCP.  This will be hopelessly
confusing to modelers and reviewers.

Agreed.  My use of ephemeral config wasn't intended to cover what's
learned from within protocols, which seems more like "operational state"
as far as NETCONF is concerned.

I liked very much what Alex wrote yesterday:

	At the end of the day, what is important is who "owns" the data, i.e.
Where
	it originates from - an external app or the managed system - this is what
I
	think the operational / config data distinction ultimately refers to
(making
	"operational" somewhat of a misnomer) - and whether the data is
"transient"
	or "persistent", which could be covered by the notion of different data
stores.


Thanks,
Kent

This sounds like model-specific meta-data to me.
Is also seems model-specific whether the internal
protocol behavior needs to be modeled at all.
(e.g., routing cfg vs. forwarding table).

I am a bit concerned about boiling a lake if the charter
is to identify every possible situation where a data modeler
might want to allow the client to alter service behavior.
Designing the solution for 1 popular use-case
doesn't make it a generic solution.

I like <get-operational>. That is long overdue.
I am not convinced at all that <edit-operational>
is going to be better than model-specific operations
like <inject-route>.

<edit-operational> means the model has to indicate if/how/when
the operational data can be munged.  I'd prefer is the operational
data be the _real_ operational data and if the model wants to allow
external interjection of data, they model that data and describe
how it interacts with config data, operational data, learned data, etc.

For example, if you expose your OSPF link state database as operational
data, allowing clients to edit it would be pointless.  The OSPF checksum
would fail, and you would get a new copy of the database.  But if you
want to alter how that routes in the LSDB are imported into other RIBs,
then that would need to be expressed in the model, and the router would
need to understand how to integrate data from protocols, configuration,
IRS, etc.

So I think we need to look at a new sort of NETCONF datastore that
I'll call "dynamic", in that data is put there dynamically during
the normal operation of the router and it's neither configuration
data nor operational data.  We used the term "control data" at the
last IETF, and either works, though "control" makes one think
"control plane", which is not completely accurate.  "Dynamic" is
pretty fuzzy, but, well, that's completely appropriate.

Many questions remain re: the interaction of config and dynamic data.
But my guess is that the model will have to describe this in words.

Thanks,
 Phil

While that distinction is useful, more is needed, and it goes beyond
ownership.  It goes beyond whether a particular bit of data is
writeable or even persistent.  I think the first question is:

   (1) is it something that would make sense in *versioned*
         configuration data?  That is, if the value is changed, it's
         really a different configuration, from a configuration
         management perspective.

This begs a second question:

   (2) The flip side of this is that there may be knobs that can be
         twiddled, but which in a sense don't constitute a change to
         a system's configuration.

While (1) is likely to be persistent, it doesn't have to be.  Consider
portions of a system's configuration delivered by other protocols -
the mechanism for the persistence may lie outside the box.  Likewise,
(2) may include persistent post-it notes whose semantics put them
outside the scope of (1).  For example, a "Joe is monitoring this
interface" post-it should probably be persistent across re-boots,
but probably should not be considered as part of versioned
configuration data.

There are also the knobs that *do* things, but that we probably don't
want to make persistent.  For example, consider knobs on ephemeral
objects like connections, or the route ontogenesis.

Where does this all lead?  It leads me to the conclusion that
the persistence and +/- config of a piece of "configuration"
are distinct aspects, and that the current approach which
tends to mingle these will become increasingly problematic.
With the historic management protocols, this would be purely
a modeling issue, but the design of netconf makes it a
protocol issue as well.  Good luck.

Randy

I like the 'config comment' tagging example.
Not only is config=false fuzzy, but so it config=true.
We have work to do. ;-)

Back in 2007, I thought the 3rd state (tconfig) was just like
config except save-to-nvstore skipped this data.  Transient
config can be added or deleted by the client or server, but
it was only part of the running config, never the startup config.

Now I think this implementation was too simplistic,
at least from a modeling perspective. It would be nice to get
both the model and the implementation correct.
The former is a much more subjective decision.

Let's organize the observations mentioned earlier in this thread into =
perspective:

40 years ago, all routing information was config. Now it is mostly =
operational data exchanged over routing protocols.
15 years ago we configured our host addresses. Now that us usually taken =
care of by dhcp.
3 years ago base station frequencies and signal strengths were planned =
and configured, today that is often operational data exchanged over SON =
protocols.
Today network topology is configuration, in a couple of years it might =
be operational data exchanged over SDN protocols.

When I define "configuration" in our NETCONF+Yang trainings, it usually =
boils down to "the set of orders coming from the owner/commander of the =
system". Alex and Kent said something similar "At the end of the day, =
what is important is who "owns" the data, i.e. Where it originates =
from."

The truth is that with this definition, the set of objects that =
constitute the configuration evolves over time, and it varies with the =
use case. I think this is shown by the list of examples above. This =
makes me wonder if this is (only) a modeling issue. A single model =
declaring an element to be config or not, can't cover all use cases, =
current and future. Even adding some middle state(s) to the single model =
won't help really. Whatever you do here will only reflect the truth for =
a specific set of use cases. Whether an element is treated as config or =
not by a manager varies with the use case, and they vary over time.

In many use cases (at least the ones I selected above) I think the =
behavioral evolution can be summarized with: delegation.

A manager delegates certain aspects (elements) of the configuration to a =
sub-manager (protocol, mechanism). When that happens, the manager is no =
longer interested in viewing the sub-managed aspects as part of the =
(main) configuration. Those elements should no longer be visible in =
<get-config>, but in <get>. They should no longer be included in backup =
or rollback files visible to the manager. They should no longer be =
affected by a <lock> operation performed by the main manager. =46rom the =
manager's perspective, this is now operational data.=20

For the sub-manager, these elements should be treated as configuration. =
They should be visible in <get-config>, modified by <edit-config>, =
affected by a <lock> performed by the sub-manager. The sub-manager =
should not see the main part of the configuration, at least not be able =
to modify it.

=46rom the network element's perspective, lowest of them all, the set of =
configurable elements is fixed. It is whatever the device offers to its =
managers, delegated or not. It is still called running.

So is the way to tackle the evolution of config true/false adding some =
<delegate> operation(s) to NETCONF?


Maybe not.=20

Looking at the delegation concept more closely, I notice that this =
resembles the semantics of a role based access control system, =
implemented to its fullest. Could the main manager define access control =
rules that limits its own view of the configuration, turning some areas =
into (read-only) operational data? Could these rules limit the power of =
<lock> to not include items that the main manager cannot touch? Could =
the main manager configure a role for a sub-manager, such that the =
sub-manager can view and modify the parts the main manager delegates?

I do not know why you believe that state is necessarily read only. RFC
6244 has some material in sections 4.3 and 4.4. The recommendation
given in section 4.4. is not really workable, as we find out working
on real data models in NETMOD.

The first issue is that there is no standard way to retrieve
operational state other than duplicating large parts of the data
models, which seems costly and counter intuitive to modelers (who tend
to put config false objects next to config true objects). The get()
operation gives you a blend of operational state and configuration
state with the result that the data is useless when it overlaps.  I
personally consider the get() operation somewhat broken and useless
because of this. Sure, we can test that we got interoperable
implementations of get() and make NETCONF a standard, the practical
value of this however remains small. For me, something like
get-operational is really a needed bug fix.

The second issues is support for writable non-config / ephemeral /
control / ... layers or datastores or whatever. This is about adding a
new feature NETCONF currently does not have. This is harder to get
right and after the side discussions in Vancouver I am also not sure
we understand yet how this would work.

I think some of the confusion we are experiencing has a lot to do with term=
inology.

In the past, we have traditionally only concerned ourselves with two types =
of data:

1) Configuration data, which when modified transforms the operational state=
 of the device. It is worth noting that we have always limited to the scope=
 of what can modify this data to management interfaces, such as CLI, SNMP, =
and NETCONF.

2) Operation data, which is strictly limited to read-only state, such as ro=
utes learned by protocols (e.g., BGP) and statistics (to name of few types =
of operational data).

YANG adequately models these types of data.

However, the evolution of feature sets over the last decade have blurred th=
e lines between configuration and operational data. For example, during aut=
hentication of a subscriber session, a device may receive a policy that it =
needs to apply to the subscriber session. Typically, a policy consists of c=
onfiguration data; however, we do not consider the policy pushed by the RAD=
IUS server, because a management interface cannot change the policy and the=
 device will not persist the policy when an actor saves the running datasto=
re to the startup datastore. On the other hand, if I invoke a command from =
the device's console to list all the policies configured on the device, it =
is desirable to see the policy pushed by the RADIUS server in the same list=
 as any other policy configured through a management interface. While some =
vendors provide separate commands for this purpose, it has been determined =
through experience that this is a pain point for operators and technicians.

Drive this evolution one step further and we are at the brink of SDN. One a=
pplicable example that comes to mind is a particular service provider (that=
 I won't name) that wants to eliminate RADIUS and push policy (and other co=
nfiguration) using NETCONF. In this example, they want to configure the pol=
icy and apply it to the subscriber session in a manner no different than if=
 I was sitting at a console doing it manually. However, there are slight di=
fferences:

1)  This configuration can never persist.

2) This configuration ideally should revert when the subscriber session ter=
minates. The reversion criteria I have spelled out here are particular to t=
he example, but in general, the client that created the configuration shoul=
d be able to specify reversion criteria, when met causes the device to reve=
rt the configuration.

3) There should exist a layered model of configuration that supports the ov=
erride of lower priority configuration. At the bottom of this layer, we hav=
e what we all know today as the running datastore. The layers above this re=
present transient configuration applied according to the priority of the la=
yer.

We are referring to this as transient configuration and keep it separate fr=
om the notion of "ephemeral configuration", which traditionally includes co=
nfiguration inside the notion of the set of operational data created and ma=
intained by mechanisms other than management interfaces, such as routing pr=
otocols, DHCP, AAA, etc.

Because most of what we have produced says so:-( and what we have
produced reflects the discussions on the list).

I remain unconvinced about the concept of operational state, that it
is a meaningful concept.  Reading what the operators asked for in
RFC3535,
"Some devices make it very hard to determine
        which parameters were administratively configured and which
        were obtained via other mechanisms such as routing
        protocols."
I always think of the routing table and think that that is by-and-large
a unique, if very common, problem and that trying to extrapolate from
the routing table to all the other data in a box is not helpful - there
is
nothing else like a routing table.  The ARP cache has some similarities
but is much simpler; MPLS FECs may be the other example.

A separate problem is the interface up/down.  An operator has configured
an interface as up and the box says down, because it knows best - the
line
card just blew a fuse.  This does have parallels elsewhere, with DHCP,
and may be worth generalising but has little conceptually in common
with routing tables IMO.

Statistics are different in other ways.  Read only, but only sort of; it
is
valuable to have a reset, so that counters may go to zero at midnight
or some such.  SMI recognised statistics as different with Counters
and that was good to have.  It struggled with the sheer volume of data -
I once set a MIB walk going on the RMONMIB and if I had not shut
the box down after several days, it would probably still be going some
years later.  But I see nothing in common with the routing table problem
and the interface status problem, just how to get meaningful information
from masses of raw data, ie do the maths in the box and ship out the
summary - and SMI did look at that but it did not seem
to catch on.

It is difficult to argue about these concepts without having their definintion. These premises make sense to me though:

1. Each device has a set of system parameters/structures that *directly* influence the device   
behaviour, no matter how they were set (operator action, factory default, protocol, ...). I'd 
suggest to define this set as the "operational state" of the device. Operators need to be able to 
have one or more interfaces for viewing (a subset of) this set.

2. In order to be able to control the device, operators need an interface for specifying their instructions for intended changes to the operational state and, consequently, device behaviour. I'd suggest to call these instructions a configuration. The device takes a submitted configuration and applies it according to a certain algorithm depending on the configuration, active network protocols, built-in policies etc.

Examples of configuration interfaces are:

- NETCONF (or CLI), where the operator's instructions have to be installed as the "running configuration".
- Unix init scripts, where the instructions are essentially shell scripts.
- RESTful interface, where the operational state is exposed as a set of resources and some of them may be modified via HTTP methods.

Of course, the hard part is to define the relationship and interactions between a configuration and operational state. In the simplest case, a configuration parameter directly maps to an operational state parameter - the device may accept the configured value or not.

But there are also more complicated mappings, e.g.:

- One configuration parameter may disable a subsystem, i.e. a subtree in operational state.
- A list of configured entries get merged to a larger list which is a part of the operational state. An example is the routing table that contains static routes (= configuration) as well as routes learnt from routing protocols.

Right, so the operator gave an instruction/request but the device knows better and doesn't accept it: the up/down parameter in operational state remains down.

I think that statistics should be put aside and not considered a part of operational state - at least for the purpose of this discussion.

Mmm... as far as I can determine, only ONE person has expressed
a clear YES I SUPPORT statement.
Others have diverged again into discussing "operational-state".
Good discussion, but not what we were trying to get consensus on.

Please express your SUPPORT or OBJECTION to the simple and
easy charter below. It is a short-term charter with work items
that we (seem) to have agreed on.

Additional/other work (on which we have no consensus for the
exact direction yet) can be brought to the WG in a normal manner
via submitting individual I-Ds and getting the WG to discuss it.
We can then  later add that to the charter of we find that the
WG is indeed interested in working on such things.

For NOW, PLEASE stick to YES I SUPPORT or NO I OBJECT

Bert

Based on the comments and feedback and the positions
expressed on the mailing list, it is clear that after all
we did NOT have consensus on the new WG charter.

Without further ado, this is another proposed WG charter.
It focuses on the things that we do seme to have agreement on.

Pls comment and/or express your support or objections
no later than August 31, 2012.

OK, new chapter text (omitting the description of what we have
achieved sofar):

   In the current phase of the incremental development of NETCONF the
   workgroup will focus on following items:

   1. Advance NETCONF over TLS to be in-line with NETCONF 1:1.
      This means that RFC5593 needs to be updated.

   2. Based on the implementation, deployment experience and interoperability
      testing, the WG will document the status of NETCONF in a report.
      Based on this, the WG may decide to make some clarifications to
      RFC6241 and RFC6242 (then also fixing any reported errata).

   3. Since Netconf over BEEP and over SOAP seem not being deployed
      the WG will write a document that makes those 2 protocols
      (RFC4743 and RFC4744) HISTORIC.

Goals and Milestones:
   done     - Send with-defaults to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   done     - WG Last Call on rfc4741bis
   done     - rfc4741bis to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   done     - Send rfc4742bis to IESG for consideration as proposed Standard.
   done     - first WG draft (rev 00) on NACM posted
   done     - first WG draft (rev 00) on NETCONF specific YANG modules posted
   done     - WGLC for NACM document
   done     - WGLC for NETCONF specific notifications document
   done     - submit NACM document to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   done     - submit NETCONF specific notifications  document to IESG for
              consideration as Proposed Standard
   Aug 2012 - submit initial WG draft for rfc5539bis
   Aug 2012 - submit initial WG draft for making RFC4743 and RFC4744 historic.
   Sep 2012 - WGLC for rfc5539bis
   Sep 2012 - WGLC for RFC4743 and 4743 to historic
   Oct 2012 - submit rfc5539bis to AD/IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
   Oct 2012 - submit request to AD/IESG to make RFC4743 and 4744 historic
   Nov 2012 - Collect Implementation/Deployment reports for RFC6241 and 6242
   Dec 2012 - Initial I-D for RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience
   Jan 2013 - WGLC on RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience
   Feb 2013 - submit RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience doc
              to IESG for publication as Informational RFC.
   Mar 2013 - Evaluate if more work needs to be done by NETCONF WG or close WG

Hi,

I am kind of OK with this although I am not sure we really need to
have RFC6241/6242 implementation/deployment experience published as an
informational RFC. Even if we decide in Nov/Dec to advance, this does
not seem to be required (when we moved some of the ISMS documents to
Draft Standard, having an I-D was good enough).

But charters can be changed and I hope that we get to a clearer
consensus what to do and what not to do in Nov/Dec.

I am neutral on this charter.

When you say "support", does that mean the person is volunteering
to review drafts, write drafts, participate in email discussions?

Or does it mean you support the concept of the work item
as long as somebody else does all the work?

Please make sure you have the resources to do whatever work
gets chartered.


Andy

You agreed to an interop event. Maybe not to the writeup?
At the other hand, you earlier on agreed to advance 6241/42, which

Several of the implementers have already agreed to come together
for an Interop Test event just before the Atlanta IETF.

I created a DOODLE poll to check for the best dates.
If you want to come with your implementation to test,
pls go to the doodle poll and express if you prefer
Friday/Saturday (2-3 Nov) or Saturday/Sunday (3-4 Nov).
PLEASE do so no later than Sept 4th 2012.

The Event will either be at the IETF hotel or at an NSN facility
in Atalanta (but a bit away from the IETF hotel).

http://www.doodle.com/nibe3k4c4zuq84mw

If you plan to participate,
PLEASE fill out the doodle poll no later than Sept 4

Bert

Right, I have no problem with this, only that it is new and different to
what we have previously discussed and is, for me, a fundamental change
of view.  I always have had a problem with the Netconf/netmod split of
configuration and state, seeing it as artificial.  Rather, what you
define above, is what I would have called, pre-netmod/conf,
configuration, by and large, with or without the epithet 'ephemeral', as
I think that many others would do.  It does not matter how the routing
(/forwarding) table entry got there, the routing table is part of the
configuration.

I have always read RFC3535 as wanting
- how to get a new box from the manufacturer operational
- how to get a failing box working again by a variety of means
and the netmod/conf view of configuration has focussed on the first
which, while
important, is not the whole story; and now we are starting to look at
the whole story.
Well, except that we are not, because it has been ruled out of scope pro
tem:-(

> 2. In order to be able to control the device, operators need an
interface for specifying their instructions for intended changes to the
operational state and, consequently, device behaviour. I'd suggest to
call these instructions a configuration. The device takes a submitted
configuration and applies it according to a certain algorithm depending
on the configuration, active network protocols, built-in policies etc.

Hmm, according to my definition, a routing table is a part of operational state. The term "configuration" is limited to the stuff explicitly written by the client/manager.

Do you mean it has been ruled out of scope because Bert didn't accept my fourth charter item? It is not how I see it - in fact, I believe there is now a general consensus that the "whole story" has to be addressed. The only problem is that nobody has proposed anything concrete so far, and Bert rightly demanded that such proposal(s) be first submitted as individual drafts.

I filled out the doodle poll, although I'm not yet sure if I can participate.

There are a few issues that have been brought up on the list which would be
helpful to resolve soon such as:

What tests do we want to run?
What Yang modules will we use?
Will there be a mutual NDA?

Various people have some proprietary test tools.
There are various real applications that can
supposedly manage real servers.
We need some content to test the operations
in RFC 6241.

> What Yang modules will we use?

The $64 question.
We have the following standard modules:

  - notifications (RFC 5277)
  - ietf-netconf-partial-lock (RFC 5717)
  - ietf-netconf-monitoring (RFC 6022)
  - ietf-netconf-with-defaults (RFC 6243)
  - ietf-netconf-notifications (RFC 6470)
  - ietf-netconf-acm (RFC 6536)

We could test our own standard modules,
some of which have content.

Martin has a dummy test module for his scripts.
We could use that for edit/retrieve content tests.

This is not an official IETF event.
The Note Well/contribution requirements
should not apply, so an NDA is possible.

Some (generic) implementations can work with any modules, and some
implement a fixed set of modules.  I think each implementation has to
share the data models they implement with the others.  For the generic
implementation, we can pick some of the standard (or draft) modules.
But we need to know well in advance, so that we can adapt our test
programs.
