RDK Feature Control
- Operational limitations that lead to RFC
- The only way to disable a new feature in the field was to rollback to the older firmware
- Lack of options to do a feature deployment in a subset of devices
- Lack of options to deliver dynamic configurations to the box
- Using RFC
- Enables quicker roll out of features
- Enables a secure channel for delivering runtime configurations to the device
- Ability to control when the feature needs to be enabled/disabled ? Disable now/ Disable during reboot
