About gNOI

gNOI - gRPC Network Operations Interface

gNOI defines a set of gRPC-based microservices for executing operational commands on network devices.

gNOI github repository

As example, this gNOI proto file defines the service System with the RPC Traceroute and Ping

• Ping executes the ping command on the target and streams back the results
• Traceroute executes the traceroute command on the target and streams back the results
• As you can see in the proto file, the field VRF is not defined for these messages
