Network Management over an IP Transport Suitable for Deep Space

Network management is very important in any network, so it is for deep space IP networking. One can already use SNMP over deep space (we demonstrated it and presented it at last IETF deepspace meeting), or RESTCONF, which is NETCONF (the new network management protocol suite replacing SNMP) over REST-HTTP, which, if run over QUIC, works in deep space. Another way would be NETCONF directly over QUIC, which will also be pretty beneficial for terrestrial networks. Viagenie co-authored the specification of NETCONF over QUIC.
