RE: NetConf Data Modeling Discussion



Hi Andrea,

I am in favor of blending in the DMTF work as long as we include a "simple" data-model variant that does not require all the complexities of CIM. We've been playing around with CIM for a while now and abandoned it for simple installations that can get away with much less generic stuff and more deployment specific stuff.
