Dynamically updating the network device YANG model

Updating the YANG models of a network device, which use the netconf protocol, requires OpenDaylight to make a continuous set of fetching requests to the device. The iterative fetching requests of the data (device YANG models) from the network devices in large-scale networks will impose a load on the network. The YANG PubSub project allows OpenDaylight to request only the updated parts of the YANG models from the network device. In this recipe, we will show you how to use OpenDaylight to register a continuous fetching request with a netconf network device to push updates of the YANG model.
