This memo defines call home functionality, discusses the requirement for firewall traversal, some mechanisms used, and security considerations of those mechanisms. Several existing examples will be shown. This memo also contains examples of how one would make SNMP over SSH, NETCONF over SSH, and interactive terminal access call-home protocols.}, }
