OpenConfig supports the use of vendor-neutral data models to configure and manage the network. These data models define the configuration and operational state of network devices for common network protocols or services. The data models are written in YANG, a standards-based, data modeling language that is modular, easy to read, and supports remote procedure calls (RPCs). Using industry-standard models greatly benefits an operator with devices in a network from multiple vendors.
This feature introduces OpenConfig data model for YANG version 4.0.1 of the BGP YANG model.
