                       CoAP Management Interface
                        draft-ietf-core-comi-01

Abstract

   This document describes a network management interface for
   constrained devices and networks, called CoAP Management Interface
   (CoMI).  The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is used to
   access datastore and data node resources specified in YANG, or SMIv2
   converted to YANG.  CoMI uses the YANG to CBOR mapping and converts
   YANG identifier strings to numeric identifiers for payload size
   reduction.  CoMI extends the set of YANG based protocols, NETCONF and
   RESTCONF, with the capability to manage constrained devices and
   networks.

Note

   Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested, and should
   be sent to core@ietf.org.
