+Receving Netconf Device Notifications on a http client
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Devices emit netconf alarms and notifictions on certain situtations, which can demand
+attention from Device Administration. The notifications are received as Netconf messages on an
+active Netconf session.
+
+Opendaylight provides the way to stream the device notifications over a http session.

+Reading data with selected fields
+---------------------------------
+
+Overview
+~~~~~~~~
+
+If user would like to read only selected fields from NETCONF device, it is possible to use
+fields query parameter that is described by RFC-8040. RESTCONF parses content of query
+parameter into format that is accepted by NETCONF subtree filtering - filtering of data is done
+on NETCONF server, not on NETCONF client side. This approach optimizes network traffic load,
+because data in which user doesn't have interest, is not transferred over network.
+
+Next advantages:
+
+* using single RESTCONF request and single NETCONF RPC for reading multiple subtrees
+* possibility to read only selected fields under list node across multiple hierarchies
+  (it cannot be done without proper selection API)
+
+.. note::
+
+  More information about fields query parameter: `RFC 8071 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040#section-4.8.3>`__
