Powerful technique to provide updates to RESTCONF servers
RESTCONF provides a standard RESTful API that vendors can implement to make it easy for customers to work with a uniform REST interface across all devices rather than a diverse set of vendor-defined proprietary REST interfaces.
One weakness of RESTCONF, as defined in RFC 8040, when compared with NETCONF, is in its inability to combine multiple different edit operations into a single operation and therefore a single transaction.
To remedy this, the IETF NETCONF Working Group created a new media type, the YANG Patch media type, which is used with the HTTP PATCH method.
Download our new "YANG Patch and RESTCONF" application note which introduces and describes this new media type.
