how long should the manager maintain the connection with his device?

["王罕" <y030737@njupt.edu.cn>]

hi all:

   I have read the netconf-pro06 and "scalability of netconf" topic on the list, I saw 
Juergen Schoenwaelder said he find that holding 300 TCP connections is not a hard thing.

   but I want to know in the real world , does the manager just hold the connection when there are still some config operation need to be performed and the connection will be kill as soon as these operations completed?  Or it will hold the connection with his "agent" all the time until some accident happens? 


thanks for coming in!

Best Regards
