YumaPro SDK was forked from Yuma, commonly called OpenYuma, in 2011. Since then YumaWorks has vastly increased the reliability, robustness, and performance of YumaPro SDK. We’ve also added an abundance of new features, all while implementing standards compliance. By contrast, Yuma remains largely untouched and lacks professional support.
YumaPro SDK versus Open Source
There have been hundreds of performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features. Below is a list of some of the enhancements:
- yangcli-gw – a variant of yangcli-pro that supports distributed client application development that provides a network management gateway to NETCONF/YANG-based systems using simple ZeroMQ-based messages.
- Binary YANG Push with CBOR encoding – allows all NETCONF notifications to be sent using binary encoding instead of XML, drastically reducing the notification message size and the server and client message processing time.
- YANG Push – support for periodic and on-change notifications enabling highly efficient telemetry data usage.
- Schema Mount – allows a server to support multiple instances of the same YANG model and mount them in various places in the server’s schema tree.
- PY-SIL – Python can be used to code YumaPro SIL-SA instrumentation.
- YP-gRPC – provides Google’s gRPC functionality with a gRPC server controlled and monitored by YumaPro’s netconfd-pro server.
- YP-gNMI – self-contained gNMI server that connects with netconfd-pro to provide access to the YANG datastores via Google’s gRPC.
- YP-Shell – embedded CLI for the server
- YControl – user extensible sub-system for higher layer asynchronous operation with the server. Enables:
- SYSLOG support
- NACM – Standard NETCONF Access Control Model
- YP-System – distributed framework system APIs to allow easy integration into existing systems without the need to modify source code
- ypwatcher – lightweight proto-HA (High Availability) process adds support to restart the server
- YP-HA – Full 1:n Active/Standby High Availability for netconfd-pro servers
- NETCONF notifications
- RESTCONF – a REST-like protocol running over an HTTP interface to access the YumaPro NETCONF server datastores
- Call Home – reverse SSH protocol allows programmatic provisioning of dispersed and fluid network elements
- SNMP – Incorporate and/or convert legacy SNMP networks into your YANG-based management solution
- IoT support – Architectural optimizations allow you to bring YANG-based management solutions to the smallest of networking devices, including ARM 32/64-bit chipsets, through Yocto and Yocto-like solutions such as PetaLinux, Mentor Embedded Linux, and VxWorks
- Ongoing and up-to-date standards support for NETCONF, RESTCONF, Call Home, and YANG
- Server Interface Library (SIL) Bundles – module groups loaded as a single entity
- Crypt hash is used to encode passwords rather than being transmitted in the clear
- Provides support for YANG Deviations, Augments, and XPath (XML Path Language)
- Config Templates – Automate deployment of common configuration sets based on your use cases
- yangcli-pro – NETCONF client with sessions, config mode, test suites, command and response validation, command line history, context-sensitive help, and command completion
- Transaction performance increase – more than 20,000 times faster than OpenYuma
- Support for concurrent client sessions
- NGINX support for RESTCONF
- XPath evaluation optimizations
- Provides dynamic error strings with expressions and variable substitution
- Support for multi-language error messages
- NETCONF over TLS support
- Logrotate support
- Support for maintenance mode
- More than 100 new CLI parameters provide total configuration control
- More than 1,000,000 new lines of source code with flexible make options allow you to build the server customized to your project
- More than 2,000,000 new lines of cross-referenced and searchable online documentation
