| Description | This paper describes the Netopeer software system intended for secure remote configuration and management of network devices. The system is based on our open-source implementation of the NETCONF protocol and deployed as the primary configuration system for FlowMon, the IP traffic flow monitoring probe. The paper gives an overview of the system architecture and operation and discusses potential generalizations of the system that would allow to use it for other devices. Plans for future development are also outlined, in particular asynchronous notifications and validation of configuration data by means of a formal data model validation that is being developed by the IETF NETMOD working group. |
