The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Routing Information Base Info Model' (draft-ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model-17.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, Deborah Brungard and Martin Vigoureux. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model/ Technical Summary Routing and routing functions in enterprise and carrier networks are typically performed by network devices (routers and switches) using a routing information base (RIB). Protocols and configuration push data into the RIB and the RIB manager installs state into the hardware for packet forwarding. This draft specifies an information model for the RIB to enable defining a standardized data model, and it was used by the IETF's I2RS WG to design the I2RS RIB data model. It is being published to record the higher-level informational model decisions for RIBs so that other developers of RIBs may benefit from the design concepts. Working Group Summary The I2RS WG and the authors have waited on the NETMOD/NETCONF WG to complete its work on revising the network management datastore architecture. Now that the latter is completed the I2RS WG believes this Document can now itself progress. Document Quality This is an informational model which helped form the draft-ietf-i2rs-rib-data-model. The document has been through repeated reviews and debates within netmod/I2rs. It is worth publishing because we see repeatly additional attempts to do a RIB model without the same thought. This model can support NMDA dynamic datastores or normal datastores. It depends on where it is mounted.
