The IESG has received a request from the NETCONF Data Modeling Language WG (netmod) to consider the following document: - 'Terminology and Requirements for Enhanced Handling of Operational State' <draft-ietf-netmod-opstate-reqs-04.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-02-16. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document primarily regards the difference between the intended configuration and the applied configuration of a device and how intended and applied configuration relate to the operational state of a device. This document defines requirements for the applied configuration's data model and its values, as well as for enabling a client to know when a configuration has been fully applied or not, how to access operational state, and how to relate intended configuration nodes to applied configuration and derived state nodes. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-opstate-reqs/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-opstate-reqs/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
