gNMI subscriptions are not supported on all the paths. only interface paths are supported to receive subscription events. Currently pull based mechanism has been implemented to keep database in sync with network.

To keep DB up to date a network component discovery on the specific device is triggered every time a write operation is performed, In this way the same logic used for discovering the network can be used for updating DB during later write operations.

Currently, For the handling of adding or removing devices a discovery of network has to be called by the application making use of the orca_nw_lib.
