Lou, > Thanks for the quick turnaround on this! I'll wait for the comments to be resolved before submitting for publication. See below for one specific response. .... > You can see how the types/groupings are be used in docs listed on the following page: > > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-types/referencedby/ Very good. I didn't know if the referencing modules were ready for review, or if there might be additional referencing modules in the works. Anyway, my point is to suggest to bundle the next review of this module with (one of) the modules that use it. /jan > > Thanks again, > Lou >> >> General questions: >> >> #1: There are many locations in the YANG talking about an "ERO subobject index" >> (and once RRO index, record route subobject).
