        Updates:    RFC 8342


        I-D Tag:    draft-ietf-netmod-system-config-20

        URL:        https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc10016

        DOI:        10.17487/RFC10016

The Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) in RFC 8342 defines several 
configuration datastores holding configuration. The contents of these configuration 
datastores are controlled by clients. This document introduces the concept of a 
system configuration datastore holding configuration controlled by the system on 
which a server is running. The system configuration can be referenced (e.g., leafref) 
by configuration explicitly created by clients.

This document updates RFC 8342.

This document is a product of the Network Modeling Working Group of the IETF.
