With the increased use of automation and the emergence of concepts such as Intent Based Networking (IBN), systems need to collect more operational data than ever before. Traditional pull methods have their challenges, including requests being lost or delayed, increased network overhead, or the data being pulled is incomplete or not accurate.
With these issues in mind, the IETF recognized that a more efficient way of gathering information needed to be devised and has delivered a set of RFCs which are collectively referred to as "YANG Push." YANG Push is a set of RFCs developed by the IETF NETCONF Working Group to replace the traditional polling (i.e. pull) approach of collecting information from network elements with a more efficient push mode for a collector to receive the information.
Download our new application note "YANG Push and ConfD" to learn the basics of YANG Push, how it is implemented and used in the ConfD 7.5 release.

John Lawitzke, Engineering Product Manager
