5-10 November 2006: NETCONF at IETF 67

The NETCONF WG met on Monday, 6 November 2006, between 17:40 and 19:50. The meeting was focused on the notifications document (draft-ietf-netconf-notification). Two sets of slides were used: administrativia and larger issues with the notifications draft by Simon Leinen, and Netconf Notifications (comprehensive issues list) by Sharon Chisholm.n Unfortunately there was no time left to discuss implementation expleriences with NETCONF over SOAP (see the slides by Tomoyuki Iijima).

Eliot Lear and Martin Swany kindly took (Jabber) notes, and official minutes will be published soon.

There was an ad-hoc meeting about data modeling issues on Tuesday 7 November between 15:15 and 19:40. Jabber notes exist for the first part of the meeting. One of the outcomes of the meeting was that it would be useful to see examples of data model descriptions using different formalisms (XML Schema, RelaxNG etc.). The suggestion was to use An Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers (RFC 3290 as a basis, in particular configuration information for classifiers.
