In the case of RESTCONF, decision to use a separate channel for the notifs is implicit in the transport of the request to establish-subscription. In the case of UDP, I think the idea is that the establish-subscription is sent over any protocol that can do RPCs (NETCONF, RESTCONF, ...), but then some specific input parameter informs the server that the notifs are supposed to be sent over some other transport. While reading the text about sessions, I found this: In 2.4.3: The "modify-subscription" operation permits changing the terms of an existing dynamic subscription established on that transport session via "establish-subscription". Which session does "that transport session" mean? Perhaps simply: NEW: The "modify-subscription" operation permits changing the terms of an existing dynamic subscription. > > 2.

But this is an implementation detail. However, it is true that the specification must work out the fate-sharing details between the session that sent the establish-subscription and the notif channel.
