NETCONF
The NETCONF XML management protocol is an XML-based protocol that client applications use to request and change configuration information on routing, switching, and security devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data and remote procedure calls.

|
NETCONF PERL
Open source Perl Net::Netconf module. The NETCONF API provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. The NETCONF API uses an Extensible markup Language (XML) based data encoding for the configuration data as well as operations and messages defined in the API. The Net::Netconf module can be installed via CPAN or using source code.

Network Service Activator
Network Service Activator uses a distributed architecture to support remote devices. You install Network Service Activator on one central activation server and multiple regional activation servers. A device communicates directly with its assigned regional activation server. The distributed architecture optimizes the efficiency of the initial provisioning process, contributing to high performance and scaling of the network.

OpenConfig
OpenConfig is an informal working group of network operators who share the goal of moving our networks toward a more dynamic, programmic infrastructure by adopting software-defined networking principles such as declarative configuration and model-driven management and operations. Juniper’s approach to OpenConfig gives maximum agility to customers by decoupling the OpenConfig package release from the Junos releases.
