Element Management Systems (EMS) serves a critical role monitoring faults and performance and providing centralized configuration management. As networks become increasingly large and complicated, carriers and enterprises share the need to reduce network administration costs and minimize configuration errors that cause network disruptions. The NETCONF protocol is the most practical way to automate configuration management while all ensuring managed objects are changed consistently. Key requirements to effectively extend legacy element management systems with southbound NETCONF interfaces include:
