A Data Model for Network Topologies
draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo-10.txt
Abstract
This document defines an abstract (generic) YANG data model for
network/service topologies and inventories. The model serves as a
base model which is augmented with technology-specific details in
other, more specific topology and inventory models.
