Hi,

we just wanted to let you know that we have just posted a new revision of draft-clemm-netmod-mount:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-clemm-netmod-mount/
This document updates an earlier revision that we had posted about a year ago.  It also addresses
requirements and use cases in http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-voit-netmod-peer-mount-requirements/

Here is the abstract:

This document introduces capabilities that allow YANG datastores to
   reference and incorporate information from remote datastores.  This
   is accomplished by extending YANG with the ability to define mount
   points that act as references to data nodes in remote datastores, and
   by providing the necessary means to manage and administer those mount
   points.  This facilitates the development of applications that need
   to access data that transcends individual network devices while
   improving network-wide object consistency.

   This document also lays the groundwork for optional extensions to
   support subscriptions to remote object updates and transparent
   caching of objects.  These options will speed application performance
   without sacrificing data consistency.

Kind regards
--- Alex
