Polling is inefficient.  Subscribing to Events & YANG Datastores is coming to address this.

General subscription capabilities are long overdue for Network Elements.  With subscriptions, an Operator can see and react to configuration / operational changes as they occur.  This will enable new services, as well as help protect the network when SDN controllers, NMS, and CLI entries are providing conflicting guidance.

RFC 7923<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7923> provides requirements for YANG Subscriptions.   Within NETCONF, contributors<https://github.com/netconf-wg/yang-push/wiki/Contributors> are working technology drafts.   These drafts are:
