Technical Summary
This document defines a YANG data model for fabric topology in Data
Center Network.
Normally, a data center (DC) network is composed of single or
multiple fabrics which are also known as PODs (Points Of Delivery).
These fabrics may be heterogeneous due to implementation of different
technologies when a DC network is upgraded or new techniques and
features are enrolled. The configuration and management of such DC networks with
heterogeneous fabrics will result in considerable complexity,
requiring a fair amount of sophistication. As a basis for DC fabric management,
this document defines a YANG data model [6020][7950] for fabric-based data center topology.
To do so, it augments the generic network and network topology data models
defined in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo] with information that is
specific to Data Center fabric networks.
Working Group Summary
There was solid consensus in the working group to take
on the work both on the list, and at IETF meetings.
Document Quality
There is an implementation of this yang data model.
