o General The language is called "YANG", not "Yang". o 1.2. Tree Diagram The text says: A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in section 6.1 of this this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340]. Tree diagrams are used also in chapter 5. I suggest: Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340]. o Tree diagrams in general You can use pyang -f tree --tree-line-length 68 ... in order to avoid long lines in the RFC. o 6.1 This section presents a fully expanded tree diagram of the module. Tree diagrams are mainly used to give an overview of a module's structure. The tree diagram in this section spans 13 pages and is quite hard to read. I also note that a majority of the nodes in this tree diagram come from the expansion of groupings that aren't defined in this document. Hence, I suggest that you might want to run: pyang -f tree --tree-line-length 68 \ --tree-print-groupings --tree-no-expand-uses o There are a number of groupings that are used only once, and do not seem to be defined to be reused by other modules, e.g., "requested-info", "requested-state", "svec-metrics-bounds" and more. If they are intended to be reused, it should be made clear in their description statements. If not, I think they should be inlined and removed. o grouping svec-exclude This grouping has an ordered-by user list. Why is this list user ordered? If the order matters, it should be explained how it matters. Also, the index leaf has this description: "XRO subobject index" What is "XRO"? Is this description sufficiently clear? o path-request In the path-request, there is construct for path-refs: list primary-reverse-path-ref { key index; min-elements 1; description "The list of primary reverse paths that reference this path as a candidate secondary reverse path"; leaf index { type uint32; description "The index used by the primary-reverse-path-ref list"; } What is this index? Is it only used as an arbitrary index, or something else? If it is an arbitraty index, it should be explained in the descriptions. Also note that lists in rpc input don't need an index. o Validation The module fails YANG validation, but that is really due to errors in ietf-te@2020-07-12.yang. Specifially, the leafref in the grouping "path-compute-info" must have prefixes in its path. Without prefixes, the path refers to nodes in the module that uses the grouping. (same for other groupings in that module). o Layout I suggest you run the module through pyang -f yang --yang-canonical --yang-line-length 68 in order to have the module indented and formatted consistently. This will make the RFC editor's job easier. /martin
