Re: [NFVCON] a side meeting @ IETF 89

Dear Diego, All,

NETCONF is well-prepared for addressing function configuration on diverse reference points of the NFV architecture.
The new interface descriptions in ETSI NFV use a producer/consumer paradigm and the interface can be re-exposed practically by any entity.
RESTCONF would be perfect in such an environment as it can support HTML-based REST-like configuration.

Haibin: I would be available through the week, except on Monday.

Cheers, 
Mehmet
