The IESG has received a request from the Interface to the Routing System WG (i2rs) to consider the following document: - 'Requirements for Subscription to YANG Datastores' <draft-ietf-i2rs-pub-sub-requirements-05.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2016-04-29. 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 provides requirements for a service that allows client applications to subscribe to updates of a YANG datastore. Based on criteria negotiated as part of a subscription, updates will be pushed to targeted recipients. Such a capability eliminates the need for periodic polling of YANG datastores by applications and fills a functional gap in existing YANG transports (i.e. Netconf and Restconf). Such a service can be summarized as a "pub/sub" service for YANG datastore updates. Beyond a set of basic requirements for the service, various refinements are addressed. These refinements include: periodicity of object updates, filtering out of objects underneath a requested a subtree, and delivery QoS guarantees. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-pub-sub-requirements/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-pub-sub-requirements/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
