The IESG has approved the following document: - 'YANG - A data modeling language for the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) ' <draft-ietf-netmod-yang-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the NETCONF Data Modeling Language Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Dan Romascanu and Ron Bonica. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-13.txt Technical Summary YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) protocol, NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications. YANG is used to model the operations and content layers of NETCONF. This document describes the syntax and semantics of the YANG language, how the data model defined in a YANG module is represented in XML, and how NETCONF operations are used to manipulate the data. Working Group Summary Consensus was reached among all interested parties before requesting the publication of this document. Document Quality There are multiple independent implementations of YANG today, both commercial and freely-available code and verification tools. Personnel David Partain is the document shepherd. Dan Romascanu is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note OLD: 7.19.3.
