The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) Traceability: Framework and Information Model' (draft-ietf-i2rs-traceability-11.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Interface to the Routing System Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-traceability/ Technical Summary This document describes a framework for traceability in the Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) and information model for that framework. It specifies the motivation, requirements, use cases, and defines an information model for recording interactions between elements implementing the I2RS protocol. This framework provides a consistent tracing interface for components implementing the I2RS architecture to record what was done, by which component, and when. It aims to improve the management of I2RS implementations, and can be used for troubleshooting, auditing, forensics, and accounting purposes. Working Group Summary Working consensus for requirements was honed over 6 months (May -Nov 2015). WG LC done on individual draft 5/26/2015 to 6/9/2015 WG LC done with All of requirement drafts 10/6/2015 to 10/20/2015 Document Quality This draft is comes out of the work with Open Daylight Project and other implementations of early I2RS protocols. A significant number of vendors have indicated their plan to expand existing protocols to create an IRS amalgamate protocol. A list includes the following: Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Ericsson, Google, Packetdesign (Client software) and others. Reviews of the requirement package did not change the traceability draft. The NETCONF reviewed the traceability document and found no additional requirements for the NETCONF or RESTCONF suite. The security directorate QA review found that traceability did not by itself provide security's level of assurance or tracing. Traceability was targeted for logging information that adds to data assurance or tracing. Personnel Document shepherd: Susan Hares WG Chairs: Susan Hares and Jeff Haas AD: Alia Atlas
