Experience of Implementing NETCONF over SOAP
Status of This Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
IESG Note
This document discusses implementation experience of NETCONF over
SOAP. Note that Section 2.4 of RFC 4741 states, "A NETCONF
implementation MUST support the SSH transport protocol mapping".
Therefore, a NETCONF implementation that only supports the SOAP
transport described in this document and not (at least) also SSH is
not in compliance with the NETCONF standards.
Abstract
This document describes how the authors developed a SOAP (Simple
Object Access Protocol)-based NETCONF (Network Configuration
Protocol) client and server. It describes an alternative SOAP
binding for NETCONF that does not interoperate with an RFC 4743
conformant implementation making use of cookies on top of the
persistent transport connections of HTTP. When SOAP is used as a
transport protocol for NETCONF, various kinds of development tools
are available. By making full use of these tools, developers can
significantly reduce their workload. The authors developed an NMS
(Network Management System) and network equipment that can deal with
NETCONF messages sent over SOAP. This document aims to provide
NETCONF development guidelines gained from the experience of
implementing a SOAP-based NETCONF client and server.
