NETCONF Interoperability Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The IETF has developed a network configuration management protocol called NETCONF which was published as proposed standard in 2006. The NETCONF protocol provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices by using an Extensible Markup Language based data encoding on top of a simple Remote Procedure Call layer. This paper describes a NETCONF interoperability testing plan that is used to test whether NETCONF protocol implementations meet the NETCONF protocol specification. The test of four independent NETCONF implementations reveals bugs in several NETCONF implementations. While constructing test cases, a few shortcomings of the specifications were identified as well.

Performance Improvement Methods for NETCONF-Based Configuration Management
IETF's NETCONF WG has taken efforts in standardizing configuration management protocol, which allows high interoperability of configuration management. In addition to interoperability, high performance is also required in configuration management, but many researches have often discarded the performance aspect of it. In order to fill that void, this paper proposes methods to improve performance...

The standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF protocol access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol opera...

متن کاملAn Architecture for Network Management Using NETCONF and YANG
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) gives access to native capabilities of the devices within a network, defining methods for manipulating configuration databases, retrieving operational data, and invoking specific operations. YANG provides the means to define the content carried via NETCONF, both data and operations. Using both technologies, standard modules can be defined to give int...
