The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defines ways to read and
edit configuration data from a NETCONF server. In some cases, part
of this data may not be set by the NETCONF client, but rather a
default value known to the server is used instead. In many
situations the NETCONF client has a priori knowledge about default
data, so the NETCONF server does not need to save it in a NETCONF
configuration datastore or send it to the client in a retrieval
operation reply. In other situations the NETCONF client will need
this data from the server. Not all server implementations treat this
default data the same way. This document defines a capability-based
extension to the NETCONF protocol that allows the NETCONF client to
identify how defaults are processed by the server, and also defines
new mechanisms for client control of server processing of default
data. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
