Re: [netconf] Adoption-suitability for draft-unyte-netconf-udp-notif

Hi WG,

With regard to the 2 questions:

    1) is the problem important for the NETCONF WG to solve?

I think the UDP transport for configured subscription is valuable for the NETCONF WG. It's useful in at least two scenarios in carrier network.
One is for core devices with large amount of data to export. The UDP transport together with distributed exporting mechanism could relieve the device work load.
The second is when the collector want to collect data from large amount of devices, e.g., the devices at the edge. The proposed solution can make the collector's life easier.

    2) is the draft a suitable basis for the work?

I've read document. I believe it's a good basis for the working group to continue.

Subject: [netconf] Adoption-suitability for draft-unyte-netconf-udp-notif
NETCONF WG,

Per the previous email sent moments ago, the chairs would like to solicit input on the following draft:

   Title: UDP-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions
   Link: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-unyte-netconf-udp-notif
   Abstract:

      This document describes an UDP-based notification mechanism to
      collect data from networking devices.  A shim header is proposed to
      facilitate the streaming of data directly from line cards to a
      collector.  The objective is to rely on a lightweight approach to
      allow for higher frequency and better transit performance compared to
      already established notification mechanisms.

In particular, please discuss adoption-suitability as it regards to the following questions:

    1) is the problem important for the NETCONF WG to solve?
    2) is the draft a suitable basis for the work?

PS: this message is itself not an adoption poll, but rather an attempt to gauge interest/support for a potential future adoption poll.
