Hi Federico (and others),

The early work on JSON For Networks looks very promising. 

However, I would like to note two things.

1) In the Route object, you suggest a Device field to reference the
actual interface you're targeting.
I suggest changing the name Device to Destination Interface or something
similar to differentiate in terminology between devices (nodes) and
their interfaces.

2.) You suggest a Source field for source-specific routing.
I suggest adding a Source Interface field, this way (it seems to me) you
can more easily handle multi-interface devices.

In my experiences, multi-interface devices have always caused issues
when trying to describe them and it would be great to take care of that
issue in what is supposed to become a standard.

Good luck further developing this great initiative.

I will see you in Slovenia :)
