RE: Goals for netconf - moving towards the charter description

Ran,

It is based on the existing netconf protocol proposal where three
channels are proposed: configuration, monitoring and fault(event).  I
agree with you NE already has many management paths but now we are
adding three more for IP user data configuration.  Doesn't sound
justifiable especially if you are managing the IP user traffic device
over WAN link.

I'm not sure where the number "three" comes from.

I'm quite sure that there will always be many different
management channels for many kinds of devices.  In the
event some vendor added support for the proposal on the
table, I seriously doubt that the vendor would remove
support for any existing management channels to their
equipment.  So I don't think we're getting rid of anything
with this proposal on the table.

Maybe I'm confused.
