Problem Statement netconf working group is chartered to produce a protocol for network configuration the data models to be used with this new protocol are outside the scope of that discussion. netconf architecture proposes to be independent of data definition and data model, need to start talking about data models in more concrete terms to ensure there really aren't implications for either the protocol or the models as a result of combining them into system to provide management functionality. Need agreed to common ways of specifying compliance, maintaining backwards compatibility, defining relationships, naming, identification, access control, etc. In addition, many feel that the identification or creation of standard data models for use in netconf is critical for both the success of the protocol and the benefit of the industry. |
