Steve Truong (struong) via ietf.org Jul 11

to netconf If the RESTCONF server is colocated with a NETCONF server, then the last-modified timestamp MUST represent the "running" datastore.

If the “running” datastore can also be accessed and changed by other servers such as CLI, SNMP, … how would the timestamp be reported?

This question also applied to the Entity Tag in the next subsection.

Another question is since restconf is supposed to be a (simplified) version of netconf (providing “a subset of Netconf functionality”) how would netconf provide the equivalent capability to its clients?

Thanks, steve

Added note Note that it is possible other protocols can cause the last-modified timestamp to be updated. Such mechanisms are out of scope for this document. similar note for entity tag

ignored question on netconf providing this functionality; out of scope
