                           YANG Schema Mount

Abstract

   This document defines a mechanism that adds the schema trees defined
   by a set of YANG modules onto a mount point defined in the schema
   tree in another YANG module.

1.  Introduction

   Modularity and extensibility are among the leading design principles
   of the YANG data modeling language.  As a result, the same YANG
   module can be combined with various sets of other modules to form a
   data model that is tailored to meet the requirements of a specific
   use case.  Server implementors are only required to specify all YANG
   modules comprising the data model (together with their revisions and
   other optional choices) in the YANG library data ([RFC7895],
   [RFC8525], and Section 5.6.4 of [RFC7950]) implemented by the server.
   Such YANG modules appear in the data model "side by side", i.e., top-
   level data nodes of each module (if there are any) are also top-level
   nodes of the overall data model.

   YANG has two mechanisms for contributing a schema hierarchy defined
