Abstract
Modern network has a complex structure that includes diverse and heterogeneous equipment to cope with multi-purpose functions. For proper administration of networks with complex structures, NETCONF protocol has been proposed. It still, however, has a few unresolved issues with each layer of the protocol. Tackling one of the less attended issues of NETCONF, this paper suggests a technique which can efficiently update the configuration data of network equipment when multiple administrators are present. Specifically, for efficient updates of the network equipment configuration, we propose to add a pre-examination of the data dependent to <lock> algorithm in operation layer and modify the data structure for managing XML documents for changing the configurations of network equipment. We have implemented and experimented with our method and confirmed that our approach brought a significant overall performance improvement to NETCONF.
