So is another scenario where the generic RPC mechanism
we defined in NETCONF can't be used?



My interpretation of the text in RFC 4741, sec. 2.2 and 2.3
is that these transport services must be provided to the NETCONF layer
(meaning <rpc> in this case), and implies that the NETCONF layer
can assume that these services are established before a NETCONF
session is used.  IMO, using the <rpc> layer to establish the session
is not supported, or a good idea.



Thanks,
