RE: NetConf Data Modeling Discussion

["Andrea Westerinen" <andreaw@cisco.com>]

Could I make a suggestion that we try to blend the DMTF's Common
Information Modeling work into this?  There is a great base of
abstractions in CIM (systems, services, hardware, etc.) and new
activities in the Networks WG in modeling VLANs, VPNs, NAT, Frame Relay,
etc.  

We discussed this NetConf thread at the DMTF Networks WG call yesterday
- and want to offer our support and models.  If there are things to
change or add, we are certainly open to that discussion.

Let me add my vote in support of starting this activity as soon as
possible. I never agreed or even understood the 'protocol first'
approach taken by NetConf. In my eyes NetConf will hold a real chance
when I will see useful data models starting to be defined and used. 

Regards,

Dan

(if I am to ramble negatively, SNMP started to fail when the big heads
continued to over-refine the protocol instead of writing useful MIBs for
operators to use. Bur certainly many people will not agree with me).
