Hello Everyone,

My name Is Anton Snizar, I am a System engineer working for Sedona Systems.

I have a foundational question regarding the RESTCONF specification. I have not seen anywhere in the document whether it is required to provide a synchronous or asynchronous interface? Or maybe you have left it for the implementor to decide?

For Non-NMDA (unified datastore) RESTCONF (RFC 8040) it is stated that only a 201 created status code will valid to be used when new objects are created/configured. With that in mind, should one treat this as an implicit definition to make the interface synchronous? E.g., only upon resource creation in the network will a 201 be sent to the NBI client?

At the moment we implement a synchronous RESTCONF interface but at the same time wondering support for async for some optimization considerations. As were wondering whether it would still be compliant to the standard or not.. Any clarification would be helpful.

Hanks,
Best regards
