How to implement SHARED route policy in NSO?

Elvin J

Level 1

Hi, I want to create one shared route policy  that multiple services can use. With my current implementation, this shared policy gets rewritten every time, which is not what I want. I want it to be extended with each request instead. Even if I can manage shared RPL to be extended , I think the other connected services will get out of sync. Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how to do this?

The issue here is you are probaly using the IOS-XR CLI NED that models a route policy as a name and a single leaf with the policy definition. If the policy definition has a structure and different services for example can add a 'match' in the policy, then the way to do this is to have a service dedicated to managing the route policy. You model that service as you need, for exampl with a leaf-list of matches. The create callback of your services goes through the list of matches and build the required policy string.

Then the services that require a match to be added, specify that match in the template by adding a match under the service that manages the route policy. That's an example of the stacked services pattern, where the template of a service is specifying what it's intent is, in terms of a lower level service.

Thanks for the answer, could you please show example code?
