             NETCONF Extensions to Support List Pagination
                draft-wwlh-netconf-list-pagination-nc-01

Abstract

   In some circumstance, a server may contain many instances of a
   particular YANG list or leaf-list.  Retrieval of the entire list or
   leaf-list at once can be extremely inefficient.

   This document defines a YANG data model with "get-pageable-list" RPC
   to allow a client to iterate through a large list, in a manner that
   is most efficient for the application.

   The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
   Management Datastore Architecture defined in RFC 8342.

Status of This Memo

   This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
   provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

   Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
   Task Force (IETF).  Note that other groups may also distribute
   working documents as Internet-Drafts.  The list of current Internet-
   Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

   Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
   and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
   time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
   material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

   This Internet-Draft will expire on May 6, 2021.
