Managing Things and being managed - using Erlang
summary
Opinionated tour of Erlang management protocols and working code: OTP ships a high-quality SNMP SMI formal payload agent used in production (ubiquitous, 56k lines across tools) but SNMP is mostly read-only and lacks config backup. Erlang uses term_to_binary fast compact for control (very fast, but no formal on‑the‑wire schema). REST/HTTP is easy to use but fails without a formal payload. Netconf + YANG confirm-commit gives readable schemas and network‑wide transactions. Implementations include CORBA and OpenFlow controllers integrated into configuration trees.
