How are network elements configured? What are the different ways in
which a device receives configuration, and why do they use those
particular mechanisms? How do these mechanisms perform for their
given use? This document discusses the problem of device
configuration and state exchange. As we do so we will point out some
protocol considerations, such as the objects being transported, how
transfers are initiated, and what the security requirements are.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
