Subject: Re: [sacm] [draft-ietf-sacm-terminology] Does a repository provide data? (#25)

A repository is associated with the roles provider, consumer, and broker. Therefore, a repository does not only store, but also consumes and provides on the data plane. Correspondingly, a proxy is also associated with the roles provider, consumer, and broker, but does not store and only consumes and provides on the data plane (it might store data in regard to the control plane, though). A broker is (probably) associated with the role of a controller only.

The example 4.2.4.4. in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mile-rolie-01 illustrates a repository without a defined interface to consume data (it might be implied, maybe?). This would be a different kind of repository - very similar to a collector that does not push SACM content, but has to be polled.
