Re: [Netconf] Netconf Light or Netconf for constrained devices

[<[e-mail]>]

For someone recently coming to NETCONF, I would have thought constrained
devices would include some or all of the following characteristics:

* During development, prior to release, it would be good to
incrementally add NETCONF functionality without the need to add
deviation statements

* Device with limited CPU

* Device with limited memory

* Device with limited bandwidth available

* Device with limited power available

An example of a device that could include most of these constraints
might be found on a sensor net. 

Are there other constraints that need to be considered? Should any of
these constraints preclude the use of NETCONF?

If all of these can be successfully supported using vanilla NETCONF then
guidance on how that could be achieved would be helpful.

Thanks,

Jonathan Hansford
