Introduction :

Websocket based protocol hence bi-directional asynchronous communication is possible between gateway and WEBPA Server in real-time. This is similar to SNMP-PA and TR069-PA.

Cloud PA will be implemented as a RDK-B component which would register with RDKB-CR (Component Registry). Server PA would act like an interface between Cloud UI and RDK-B stack for faster real time communication. Persistent websocket connection is established between Cloud PA and Server PA during the client boot up. This would eliminate initial connection handshake overhead but would have an impact on the scalability aspects on the server side.

Data communication and messaging format will be based on JSON format.
