The IESG has approved the following document: - 'YANG Data Model for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)' (draft-ietf-bfd-yang-17.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection 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-bfd-yang/ Technical Summary This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA). Working Group Summary This document went through multiple reviews within the working group over the course of its development. Similar to other Yang modules that are intended to interwork with other modules, multiple revisions were required as part of changing IETF Yang module structures such as NMDA. Additional review passes were done to ensure that modules were able to properly use BFD as a client mechanism. The current document represents a proper management framework for the most commonly deployed BFD profiles covered in the BFD RFCs. Care was taken to ensure that as further work is done on the BFD protocol that the modules could be cleanly extended and maintained. Document Quality There are currently no known implementations of this Yang module. Expert review was requested from the Yang Doctors, the Security Directorate, and the Routing Directorate. All feedback was incorporated into this document prior to submission to the IESG. Personnel Document Shepherd - Jeffrey Haas Responsible Area Director - Martin Vigoureux
