1. 71 th IETF meeting Experience of implementing NETCONF over SOAP ( draft-iijima-netconf-soap-implementation-06) Tomoyuki Iijima, Yoshifumi Atarashi, Hiroyasu Kimura, Makoto Kitani (Alaxala Networks) Hideki Okita (Hitachi Central Research Lab)

2. Objectives of our I-D To provide guidelines of implementing SOAP-based NETCONF in a form of informational RFC To share the knowledge obtained from our experience in order to help SOAP- based NETCONF be deployed widely

3. Changes since the last meeting Got AD-sponsorship Completed Last Call on Feb. 12 Revised the I-D in response to comments –Revised Introduction and Security considerations section –Added a description in section 1 that makes clear that this document is not a product from the NETCONF WG but a report on the experience –Added a reason for using Cookie field for session maintenance mechanism Got through a native check, thus became more readable

4. Main points of our I-D In the case of using SOAP as a transport protocol of NETCONF, developments of NETCONF client & server are done inside Web Service framework By taking advantage of development tools available in public, APIs are automatically generated from XSD & WSDL files selected from RFC4741 & 4743 By using those APIs, SOAP-based NETCONF application are developed without being concerned about SOAP messaging Sharing those knowledge will be useful for the wide deployment of NETCONF client & server

5. Network Equipment NETCONF service provider (NETCONF server) NMS NETCONF application (NETCONF client) NETCONF stub (Java API) NETCONF request / SOAP / HTTP SOAP Implementation (Apache Axis) WSDL2JavaJava2WSDL SOAP Implementation myNetconf Service.wsdl netconf- soap_1.0.wsdl netcons.xsd ex.) data- model.xsd NETCONF response / SOAP / HTTP HTTP/TLS Architecture of our SOAP-based NETCONF implementation

6. Conclusions Updated on NETCONF WG with current status of our I-D after the revision –Intended status : Informational RFC Summarized main points of our I-D More than a year has passed since this I-D first came out, but more review is appreciated
