Improving and Optimizing the Operation Layer Algorithm of NETCONF Protocol

Abstract

For proper administration of networks with complex heterogeneous structures, NETCONF protocol has been proposed. It still, however, has a few unresolved issues with each layer of the protocol. This paper suggests a technique which can efficiently update the configuration data of network equipment when multiple administrators are present. Specifically, for efficient updates of the network equipment configuration, we propose to add a pre-examination of the data dependent to algorithm in operation layer and modify the data structure for managing XML documents for changing the configurations of network equipment.
