Abstract

IETF’s NETCONF WG has taken efforts in standardizing configuration management protocol, which allows high interoperability of configuration management. In addition to interoperability, high performance is also required in configuration management, but many researches have often discarded the performance aspect of it. In order to fill that void, this paper proposes methods to improve performance with layers of NETCONF. It demonstrates and compares the performance evaluations to verify the efficiency of the proposed methods. This evaluation can be used as a guideline to effectively implement NETCONF. Moreover, it also demonstrates the process of performance evaluation of configuration management.

This research was supported in part by the MIC (Ministry of Information and Communication), Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program supervised by the IITA (Institute of Information Technology Assessment) (IITA- 2005-C1090-0501-0018) and by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Division at POSTECH under the BK21 program of the Ministry of Education, Korea.
