Is DataMiner able to orchestrate technologies using YANG-API protocol?

We already worked with one connector (Cisco ASR Manager) that is using NETCONF to configure interfaces. Basically, it opens a NETCONF session to send NETCONF commands and this uses YANG-models to select what data we are querying. This has been used to get interface data and to set bandwidth and service policies.

Note that the YANG-API and NETCONF are different protocols to manage YANG data model. NETCONF is based on RPC and where as YANG-API is RESTful. Agree that the device integration can be done by NETCONF or through YANG-API depending on the requirements.

YANG: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020
NETCONF: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241
RESTCONF(another popular http protocol): https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040

Thanks Sri for the clarification.

Hi Andy, as YANG-API is a RESTful protocol (https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-bierman-netconf-yang-api-01.html), it should be possible to integrate with DataMiner.
