Specifically, the update introduces new datastore resources, adds a new query parameter, and requires the usage of [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis] by RESTCONF servers implementing the NMDA. The solution presented in this document is backwards compatible with [RFC8040]. This is achieved by only adding new resources and leaving the semantics of the existing resources unchanged. 1.1.

An NMDA-compliant RESTCONF server MUST support the operational state datastore and it MUST implement at least revision 201X-XX-XX of the "ietf-yang-library" module defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis]. Such a server identifies that it supports the NMDA both by implementing the {+restconf}/ds/ietf-datastores:operational resource, and by implementing at least revision 201X-XX-XX of the "ietf-yang-library" module. A RESTCONF client can test if a server supports the NMDA by using either the HEAD or GET methods on {+restconf}/ds/ietf- datastores:operational. + A RESTCONF client can discover which datastores and YANG modules the + server supports by reading the YANG library information from the + operational state datastore. + 3.
