Hi Kent,

Thank you for your reply.
I am trying to understand the relationship and usage of this draft and a set of netconf drafts:
This model present the receiver's information (such as IP, port, etc) and it augment the ietf-subscription-notification model that the user can specify multiple subscription receivers.
And the user also need to configure the server to specify receiver's port and IP (via ietf-client-server?). That the server can call home to the receivers.
Is my understanding correct? If yes, I suggest that a brief description of the workflow should be present in the draft.

Best Regards!
-Michael

Hi Michael,


IMHO, this model can be used in call-home scenarios, for example the server can initiate a transport session to those receivers in the subscription using the address and port specified.
Therefore, I suggest to add some attributes, such as Listen Port, to support call-home.

I'm not entirely sure I follow you.

Firstly, the draft is describing the NC/RC server initiating a protocol connection to a remote peer (the receiver).  So, in this since, it is "call home" already.

That said, maybe you mean "call home" in the sense of protocol-reversals (e.g., reverse TLS).  If so, note that the protocol being discussed here is more like Syslog than RESTCONF.   If it were Syslog, would you also to think there is a need to have a protocol-reversal?
