RESTCONF Extensions to Support the
Network Management Datastore Architecture
Abstract
This document extends the RESTCONF protocol defined in RFC 8040 in
order to support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
defined in RFC 8342.
This document updates RFC 8040 by introducing new datastore
resources, adding a new query parameter, and requiring the usage of
the YANG library (described in RFC 8525) by RESTCONF servers
implementing the NMDA.

RFC 8527 RESTCONF Extensions for the NMDA March 2019
1. Introduction
This document extends the RESTCONF protocol defined in [RFC8040] in
order to support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
defined in [RFC8342].
This document updates [RFC8040] in order to enable RESTCONF clients
to discover which datastores are supported by the RESTCONF server,
determine which modules are supported in each datastore, and interact
with all the datastores supported by the NMDA. Specifically, the
update introduces new datastore resources, adds a new query
parameter, and requires the usage of the YANG library [RFC8525] by
RESTCONF servers implementing the NMDA.
The solution presented in this document is backwards compatible with
[RFC8040]. This is achieved by only adding new resources and leaving
the semantics of the existing resources unchanged.
1.1. Terminology
This document uses the terminology defined by the NMDA [RFC8342].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
