     * applications.
     *
     * They need to translate the protocol operation request, into a protocol
     * independent abstract tree called the YANG data tree (YDT). In order to
     * enable the protocol in building these abstract data tree, YANG
     * management system provides a utility called the YANG data tree builder.
     *

     * the data received in request and pass the information during the walk.
     * YANG data tree builder, identifies the application which supports the
     * request and validates it against the schema defined in YANG, and
     * constructs the abstract YANG data tree.

     * management system to perform the required operation in ONOS.
