Re: Netconf over SSH

["Tom Petch" <nwnetworks@dial.pipex.com>]

Delightful:-)

When I read Netconf over SSH as saying

 'After the ssh-connection service is established, the client will open a
channel of type "session", which will result in an SSH session.  Once the SSH
session has been established, the user (or application) will invoke NETCONF as
an SSH subsystem called "netconf".

I took it to mean  a

4.9.5  Connection Protocol Subsystem Names

of  yet-to-be-defined 'netconf'

over an already defined

4.9.1  Connection Protocol Channel Types

of 'session'

I am unclear about the references to service names and Connection Protocol
Channel Request Name.
