Web-related technologies are advancing and number of Web- based systems are increasing. Management systems that adopt Web- related technologies or that have browser-based management interface are getting common. It is natural to expect that there is a standard network operation and management protocol to be used over HTTP. Currently, however, there are few efforts in this area. Although NETCONF{[}RFC6241{]} once defined itself to be sent over SOAP/ HTTPS{[}RFC4743{]}, supposedly due to unfamiliarity to SOAP or lack of bi-directional capability, such efforts aren't successful enough{[}I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc4743-rfc4744-to-historic{]}. But now, WebSocket protocol, the update of HTTP equipped with bi-directional capability, is available{[}RFC6455{]}. This memo describes how NETCONF should be treated over WebSocket protocol.}, }
