RFC 5277 (NETCONF Event Notifications) compliance

[David Charlap]

I have gone through RFC 5277(NETCONF Event Notifications).  I have prepared the following summary of libnetconf's compliance, but it is not complete.  Please look for the sections in boldface and fill in the information that I was not able to determine on my own.  Also, if you notice any mistakes, please correct them.  Feel free to retain this table for your own information - you may find it useful if/when others ask similar questions in the future.

(I will be posting additional messages later today for RFCs 5717, 6020, 6991, 6243 and 6470.)

Thanks in advance,

-- David

Hello David,
I'm not sure about many of boldface things, however, "Notification Replay" is supported.

Hi David,

at the first moment, I wanted to make comments inline. But I don't need to - all answers are yes, more information can be found in libnetconf docs [1], just read it and then you can try it using Netopeer [2].

Regards,
Radek
