And now I find that translation is available, https://encrypted.google.com/patents/CN106612196A?cl=en Which suggests that a client may request resources. So I wonder if this is related to on-demand IP provisioning?
A quick read through (I hate "patent code") seems to indicate that this patents basically "DHCP but over NETCONF/RESTCONF", where one use-case is NFV provisioning (over NETCONF) based on this interaction to provision the needed resource.
"NETCONF protocol is the Internet Engineering Task Force (Internet Engineering Task Force, IETF) NETCONF working group launched a new network configuration protocol (Network Configuration Protocol), NETC0NF in the role of network management similar to the simple network management protocol (Simple Network Management Protocol, SNMP) for network interface and data transmission between devices. In a network environment, the resource manager is used to centrally manage multiple resources of network devices, such as Internet Protocol (IP) address pools and forwarding entries. The NETCONF protocol is used between the resource manager and the network device. The resource manager can allocate resources to the network device based on the NETCONF protocol. The current allocation of resources there is a waste of resources."
