Including Attributes in the Opening <rpc> Tag

Optionally, a client application can include one or more attributes of the form attribute-name="value" in the opening <rpc> tag. The NETCONF server echoes each attribute, unchanged, in the opening <rpc-reply> tag in which it encloses its response.

This feature can be used to associate requests and responses if the value assigned to an attribute by the client application is unique in each opening <rpc> tag. Because the NETCONF server echoes the attribute unchanged, it is simple to map the response to the initiating request. The NETCONF specification specifies the name message-id for this attribute.
