Since over a decade we observe intensive effort of research institutions and industrial consortia on extending flexibility and automation of the transport network control also known under the term network programmability. Key aspect of each programming interface is ability to evolve but also sensitivity to future modifications. As indicated in the past work in the specific context of optical transport networks an important criterion becomes also complexity and granularity of maintained objects. The objective of this paper is to share the results of a proof of concept of optical transport network control conducted on highly flexible and easy to modify YANG-based RESTCONF protocol. Deriving configuration objects and protocol messages fields from standardized YANG models makes the programming interface easy to understand and modify. In addition, the models were selected to reflect network level control typical for carrier class deployments in the opposite to more common for data centre device level control.
