Northbound API and the new libyang dependency
by Renato Westphal 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

Hi all, I'd like to announce that the Northbound API PR [1] was merged a couple of days ago. This is only the beginning of a long journey to modernize FRR with a model-driven architecture based on the YANG modeling language. The goal of this initiative is to provide better interfaces to configure and monitor FRR programatically, since the good old CLI is unfit for that purpose. Examples of new management interfaces include the NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols (supported though the ConfD and Sysrepo plugins). There's also a new gRPC-based northbound plugin under development and the CLI will of course continue to be available, now with new features like support for configuration transactions and rollbacks (please check the demos [2]). It's important to say, however, that only daemons converted to the new northbound model will be able to take advantage of the new northbound capabilities. As of now, only the ripd daemon was converted (ripd was chosen for being one of the simplest daemons we have). This means we can configure/monitor ripd using NETCONF for example, but the same doesn't apply to the other daemons yet. The remaining daemons should be converted within the next few months, and everyone from the community is welcome to collaborate :) For more information about the new Northbound API, please check the documentation [3]. As a consequence of this work, FRR will have a new mandatory dependency: libyang [4]. Everyone please check the updated FRR build instructions to see how to obtain and install this library for your platform. Thanks everyone who collaborated to make this possible! Best Regards, Renato.
