The IETF’s Network Cofiguration Protocol and Yang data modeling language promise to help simplify and speed network device configuration This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by ...

The new amendment leverages IETF RFC 8632, ‘A YANG Data Model for Alarm Management’, to define alarms related to ANCP and optical transceivers.

In turn, that made it feasible for Tail-f to build a strategy around standards — the Netconf protocol that was started by Juniper, and the well known Yang data modeling language.

Coriant upgraded its SDN controller with YANG modeling so lower optical transport layers can speak to higher packet layers.
