Shafer and Kent Watsen and Robert Wilton}, title = {{Guidelines for YANG Module Authors (NMDA)}}, pagetotal = 9, year = 2017, month = may, day = 9, abstract = {The "Network Management Datastore Architecture" (NMDA) adds the ability to inspect the current operational values for configuration, allowing clients to use identical paths for retrieving the configured values and the operational values. This change will simplify models and help modelers, but will create a period of transition as NMDA becomes a standard and is widely implemented. During that interim, the guidelines given in this document should help modelers find an optimal path forward.}, }
