Re: Goals for netconf - moving towards the charter description

["David T. Perkins" <dperkins@dsperkins.com>]

HI,

In listening to the reactions to the NETCONF BOF, it seems like
many people are skipping ahead instead of taking time to appreciate
the first goal. A short description of it is the following from
Ran...
"move vendor-proprietary blobs of configuration data around using
a common convention for transmission over the wire",

This seems too simple, to be important, but it has been a stumbling 
block and a source of extra cost in managing devices. The NETCONF
proposal starts with it and lays down the foundation for a new
standard way of managing network devices.
