Abstract
A method for communicating over a specified protocol enabling bi-directional streaming between a network manager and a network device is provided. The method includes receiving, at data processing hardware of a network device, a request from the network manager requesting data including at least one of state information or configuration information. The request includes a get request to obtain a snapshot of the requested data existing on the network device or a subscribe request to subscribe to updates for the requested data existing on the network device. The method also includes transmitting a data response from the data processing hardware to the network manager via telemetry. The data response includes the requested data having data elements defined by at least one data schema supported by the network device. The capability and data requests and the capability and data responses adhere to a protocol configured to enable bi-directional streaming between the network manager and the network device.
