The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A framework for Management and Control of microwave and millimeter wave interface parameters' (draft-ietf-ccamp-microwave-framework-07.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-microwave-framework/ Technical Summary This document describes the required characteristics and use cases for control and management of radio link interface parameters using a YANG Data Model. It focuses on the benefits of a standardized management model that is aligned with how other packet technology interfaces in a microwave/millimeter wave node are modeled, the need to support core parameters and at the same time allow for optional product/feature specific parameters supporting new, unique innovative features until they have become mature enough to be included in the standardized model. The purpose is to create a framework for identification of the necessary information elements and definition of a YANG Data Model for control and management of the radio link interfaces in a microwave/millimeter wave node. Working Group Summary This document has been produced by a design team including all the major vendors in the microwave industry. It has been reviewed by the CCAMP and received comments both during the meetings and on the mailing list. There was an intense discussion at the beginning to place this work in relationship with the one carried on by the ONF, but then an agreement was reached and the document widely supported. Document Quality All the major vendors participated to the work and wanted to be member of the design team. They also participated to various IETF hackathons and produced a paper for the IETF journal. No further particular review is needed in addition to general ones to make sure the document is fully understandable and well written. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?
