China Mobile Viagenie Ionio Systems This document specifies how to use QUIC as a secure transport for exchanging Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) messages. NETCONF over QUIC allows to take advantage of QUIC streams, for example, to eliminate some TCP head-of-line blocking issues. NETCONF over QUIC provides security properties similar to NETCONF over TLS. This document also defines a YANG module which augments the ietf- netconf-client and ietf-netconf-server YANG modules.
