NETCONF in client/server architecture<br />

The NETCONF protocol uses RPCs to facilitate communication between the client (NETCONF<br />

Manager or application) and the server (NETCONF Agent or managed device). A client encodes an<br />

RPC in XML and sends it to a server using a secure, connection-oriented session. The server<br />

responds with a reply encoded in XML, as shown in Figure 2.<br />
