All,

The primary interface to SDNC is based on the RESTCONF standard, which is 
implemented in OpenDaylight.  When SDNC was first conceived, the RESTCONF 
protocol was defined based on an internet draft : see 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bierman-netconf-restconf-02

Since then, that version of the RESTCONF has been superceded by RFC 8040 
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8040.html), which is NOT backward compatible 
with the earlier Bierman-draft-02 specification.  OpenDaylight – and by 
extension CCSDK/SDNC – has supported both versions of the RESTCONF interface 
for several releases. However, OpenDaylight deprecated support for the 
Bierman-draft-02 version in their Sulfur release – the version used in ONAP 
Kohn.  OpenDaylight no longer supports the Bierman-draft-02 spec in their 
Chlorine release, which is used in ONAP London.

Details on the differences between these 2 versions and with the approach we 
have taken to mitigate the impacts of this change can be found here : 
https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/SDNC+R12+London+Architecture+Review?preview=%2F162103430%2F162103431%2FRESTCONFMigration.pdf

CCSDK /SDNC will continue to support the Bierman-draft-02 version of the 
RESTCONF API in the ONAP London release by taking over support for the 
bierman-draft-02 OpenDaylight code.  However, we cannot continue to support 
this version going forward.

Consequently, we hereby announce that support for the Bierman-draft-02 
interface is deprecated in the ONAP London release and will be removed in the 
ONAP Montreal release.

We believe that most current use cases – including ORAN – have already moved to 
RFC 8040, and so we hope the impact of this change is isolated.  If any 
project/use case believes that they will need extended support for the 
Bierman-draft-02 version beyond the London release,  I would ask that they 
assist in providing any resources necessary to upgrade the Bierman-draft-02 
code.
