         Consistent Modeling of Operational State Data in YANG
                   draft-openconfig-netmod-opstate-01

Abstract

   This document proposes an approach for modeling configuration and
   operational state data in YANG [RFC6020] that is geared toward
   network management systems that require capabilities beyond those
   typically envisioned in a NETCONF-based management system.  The
   document presents the requirements of such systems and proposes a
   modeling approach to meet these requirements, along with implications
   and design patterns for modeling operational state in YANG.
