FRR Centralized Management Requirements

1. Running DB and Candidate DB should be part of centralized management.

2. Functions like validation and rollback should be part of centralized management.

3. Each process should be stateless w.r.t configuration.

   An IPC landing at process should trigger proper callback function to apply configuration.

   There are two ways we can support open config yangs.

   Maintain two yang data models.

   Support conversion of OC yang to FRR native yang. (performance issues and complex)
