The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'YANG Network Instances' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-ni-model-06.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 2018-01-31. 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 defines a network instance module. This module can be used to manage the virtual resource partitioning that may be present on a network device. Examples of common industry terms for virtual resource partitioning are Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances and Virtual Switch Instances (VSIs). The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-ni-model/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-ni-model/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: draft-ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams: YANG Tree Diagrams (None - IETF stream)
