My vote on this topic is to keep it as-is in Framework PIB
(using Integer32 (-1 | 1..4094) ).
The reasoning is as follows:
1. The -1 value does not gets into the data packet being forwarded by the
     network device, it is used in the management plane only.
     Using the -1 value will just be as good as using 4095 from that 
prospective.
2. The -1 value allow it to be more distinct from the normal legal on the wire
     IEEE value of 1 to 4094, hence it is cleaner to use -1.
3. The DSCP and IPv6 FlowLabel is already using the -1 or "OrAny" concepts,
     hence keeping it as -1 will be more beneficial.

Thanks!

This document defines a set of PRovisioning Classes (PRCs) and textual
conventions that are common to all clients that provision policy using
Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for Provisioning.

Structure of Policy Provisioning Information (SPPI) describes a
structure for specifying policy information that can then be
transmitted to a network device for the purpose of configuring
policy at that device.  The model underlying this structure is one
of well-defined (PRCs) and instances of these
classes (PRIs) residing in a virtual information store called the
Policy Information Base (PIB).

One way to provision policy is by means of the (COPS) protocol with
the extensions for provisioning.  This protocol supports multiple
clients, each of which may provision policy for a specific policy
domain such as QoS, virtual private networks, or security.

As described in COPS usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR), each
client supports a non-overlapping and independent set of PIB
modules.  However, some PRovisioning Classes are common to all
subject-categories (client-types) and need to be present in
each.

Working Group of the IETF.

Dear all,

Having read the motivation for the above-mentioned BOF
(http://www.ietf.org/ietf/03mar/netconf.txt), as well as its agenda, I must
admit I'm quite surprised that only the XMLCONF draft is quoted as a "useful
starting point", since most (if not all) the requirements mentioned in the
introducing text are addressed by the COPS-PR protocol, which has been
standardized as RFC 3084.

Furthermore, there are several initiatives, both chartered and individual,
such as (to name a few):
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-diffserv-pib-09.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsp-ipsecpib-07.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-li-rap-mplspib-00.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-boucadair-ipte-acct-pib-01.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-yacine-ppvpn-2547bis-pib-02.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-jacquenet-ip-te-pib-02.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-jacquenet-ip-te-cops-04.txt
...which clearly show an interest (from both vendors and operators) for the
use of the COPS-PR protocol in the Internet community.

You might also consider some arguments that have been exchanged on the rap
mailing list some time ago, including
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/rap/rap.2002/msg00138.html, for the support of a
PIB standardization effort together with the use of the COPS-PR protocol.

Also, it might be worth not forgetting RFC 3139, possibly including
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-jacquenet-tunman-reqts-02.txt as
additional "starting points".

Don't get me wrong: I'm definitely supporting this BOF initiative (and the
freedom of choice in general), since it's been quite a long tradition in the
IETF standardization process to let the community choose amongst several
options for performing specific actions, such as intra-domain routing with
protocols like RIP, OSPF and IS-IS, dyanmic address allocation schemes, with
protocols like DHCP, IPCP, RADIUS-inferred IPCP, various encapsulation
schemes including IP-in-IP and GRE, etc.

I just want to point out the fact that this BOF may have possibly increased
its chances of success by welcoming other pointers than the XMLCONF draft,
as well as other presentations.

Comments welcome.

Cheers,

Christian.
