Early Review of draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-yang-03
review-ietf-mpls-mldp-yang-03-yangdoctors-early-lindem-2017-12-13-00

I have reviewed this document as part of the YANG doctors directorate's 
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These 
comments were written with the intent of improving the operational aspects of the 
IETF drafts. Comments that are not addressed in last call may be included in AD reviews 
during the IESG review.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments 
just like any other early review comments. 


Document: draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-yang-03.txt
Reviewer: Acee Lindem
Review Date: December 13, 2017
Review Type: Early Review
Intended Status: Standards Track
Summary: On right track but has issues

Modules: "ietf-mpls-mldp@2017-10-19.yang" and "ietf-mpls-mldp-extended@2017-10-19.yang"

Tech Summary: While I have a good general understanding of MPLS and LDP, 
I am not familiar with the details of the all the mLDP features in the
extended model.  

Major Issue:

  The "Security Considerations" cannot just reference the ldp YANG considerations. The
  schema nodes that are sensitive will be different and multicast (e.g., P2MP and MP2MP) 
  are suspectible to different attacks than unicast. 


General Comments:

  1. There are places where it the text alludes to additional features to be covered
     in a future version of the document. If the document is to progress, 
     the authors need to agree on the scope of the modules. 

  2. There are no configuration and operational state XML or JSON examples as 
     recommended by RFC6087BIS. 

  3. Some of the YANG descriptions are rather terse and look as though they were
     added solely for pyang validation. Also, why are they all terminated with a
     period. Normally a period is reserved for complete sentences. However, I didn't
     remove these in my editorial comments.

  4. Add RFC 7431 as a normative reference since the extended mLDP model covers 
     Multicast-Only FRR. 


Comments on ietf-mpsl-mldp.yang:

   1. The module prologue doesn't conform to the RFC6087BIS template. For example, 
      the chairs should no longer be listed. 

   2. The grouping mldp-binding-label-peer-state-attributes is arbitrary. Cascading
      multiple levels of groupings that are only used in a single place just makes
      the module harder to read. In fact, the module would easier to read even
      with mldp-binding-label-state-attributes inline.

   3. Why is there a choice with only a single case under opaque-type in 
      mldp-fec-event?

   3. is-self says "This is the root." I'm assuming it means the YANG server itself
      is the root.  

   4. "opaque-type-lspid" is a very poor choice for an identifier. It confuses the
      reading into thinking it is a type. Use "opaque-lspid". 

   5. Move the grouping mldp-fec-event inline unless you are using it elsewhere.

Comments on ietf-mpsl-mldp-extended.yang:

   1. The module prologue doesn't conform to the RFC6087BIS template. For example, 
      the chairs should no longer be listed. 

   2. The module description is a copy of the base mLDP. It should refer that the
      module contains extended functions.
 
   3. There is a type for route-distinguisher in ietf-routing-types. 

   4. The lsa-key-type is very confusing since the root-address is actually the
      key for the grouping. 

   5. All these containers that start "opaque-type..." would be less confusing if
      they just read "opaque..". These are NOT YANG type or any other type of 
      type.

   6. For FEC-label in opaque-type-transit, do you really need every node to be
      part of the key?

    on which mLDP bindings could be exchanged.  Similarly, an operator
    could query state information for an LDP peer in order to verify

 4.3.  Leveraging LDP containers

!    mLDP configuration model leverages following configuration areas and
    containers that are already defined for LDP:

    o  Capabilities: A new container "mldp" is defined that augments
       LDP's capabilities container.  This new container specifies any
       mLDP specific capabilities and their parameters.  Moreover, a new
!       "mldp" container is also added by augmenting LDP per-peer
       capability container to override/control mLDP specific
       capabilities on a peer level.  In the scope of this document, the
       most important capabilities related to mLDP are p2mp, mp2mp, make-
       before-break, hub-and-spoke, and node-protection.

!    o  Discovery and Peer: mLDP requires LDP discovery and peer
!       procedures to form mLDP peering.  A peer is treated as mLDP peer
       only when either P2MP or MP2MP capabilities have been successfully
       exchanged with the peer.  If a user wish to selectively enable or
       disable mLDP with a LDP-enabled peer, he/she may use per-peer mLDP
       capabilities configuration.  [Ed Note: The option to control mLDP
!       enabling/disabling on a peer-list is being explored for future ].
       In most common deployments, it is desirable to disable mLDP
       (capabilities announcements) on a targeted-only LDP peering, where
!       targeted-only peer is the one whose discovery sources are targeted
!       type only.  In future revision, a configuration option for this
       support will also be provided.

    o  Forwarding: By default, mLDP is allowed to select any of the LDP
--- 450,478 ----

 4.3.  Leveraging LDP containers

!    The mLDP configuration model leverages following configuration areas and
    containers that are already defined for LDP:

    o  Capabilities: A new container "mldp" is defined that augments
       LDP's capabilities container.  This new container specifies any
       mLDP specific capabilities and their parameters.  Moreover, a new
!       "mldp" container is also added by augmenting the LDP per-peer
       capability container to override/control mLDP specific
       capabilities on a peer level.  In the scope of this document, the
       most important capabilities related to mLDP are p2mp, mp2mp, make-
       before-break, hub-and-spoke, and node-protection.

!    o  Discovery and Peering: mLDP requires LDP discovery and peer
!       procedures to form mLDP peering.  A peer is treated as an mLDP peer
       only when either P2MP or MP2MP capabilities have been successfully
       exchanged with the peer.  If a user wish to selectively enable or
       disable mLDP with a LDP-enabled peer, he/she may use per-peer mLDP
       capabilities configuration.  [Ed Note: The option to control mLDP
!       enabling/disabling on a peer-list is being explored for future].
       In most common deployments, it is desirable to disable mLDP
