I am confused by 'netconf server (Manager) and a networking device (netconf client = Analyzer)'. This is not how NETCONF usually works: A device runs a NETCONF server and a management application a NETCONF client. Anyway, the way things work with NETCONF and YANG is that you define a YANG data model that is understood by both the NETCONF server and the NETCONF client. I admit that I do not know much about your specific use case but if you make statements that sound like YANG models have to proprietary and hence IDPEF has an advantage because it is standardized, then you need to be able to defend that. /js On Sat, May 02, 2015 at 08:18:54PM +0200, B.-C.
