Abstract
Data is organized in a hierarchical data tree having nodes, and is formatted in human-readable data according to a schema. The data is canonically ordered in correspondence with a canonical ordering of a schema dictionary generated from the schema. The canonically ordered data is encoded into binary, including for each node, removing a label of the node, and adding a sequence number of the node corresponding to the canonical ordering, in binary.
Claims16
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a managed device to:
- receive a command from a managing device requesting a current configuration of the managed device;
- identify a configuration information schema dictionary stored on the managed device;
- select a set of configuration data points present in the configuration information schema dictionary from a configuration tree of the managed device;
- binary encode each of the configuration data points consistent with the configuration information schema dictionary;
- construct a binary data object consistent with the configuration information schema dictionary that includes the binary encoded set of configuration data points;
- and
- transmit the binary data object to the managing device;
- receive, from the managing device, a second command including a binary encoded pointer and a desired action;
- determine, based on the binary encoded pointer, an indicated node of the configuration tree of the managed device;
- and
- perform the desired action on the indicated node,
- wherein the configuration information schema dictionary is a schema dictionary generated by the managing device and deployed on the managed device, and
- wherein the configuration information schema dictionary includes information to format configuration information into a binary data object as well as information to format configuration information into a human readable configuration object.

A method executed by a processor of a managed device, the method comprising:
- receiving a command from a managing device requesting a current configuration of the managed device;
- identifying a configuration information schema dictionary stored on the managed device;
- selecting a set of configuration data points present in the configuration information schema dictionary from a configuration tree of the managed device;
- binary encoding each of the configuration data points consistent with the configuration information schema dictionary;
- constructing a binary data object consistent with the configuration information schema dictionary that includes the binary encoded set of configuration data points;
- and
- transmitting the binary data object to the managing device;
- receiving, from the managing device, a second command including a binary encoded pointer and a desired action;
- determining, based on the binary encoded pointer, an indicated node of the configuration tree of the managed device;
- and
- performing the desired action on the indicated node,
- wherein the configuration information schema dictionary is a schema dictionary generated by the managing device and deployed on the managed device, and
- wherein the configuration information schema dictionary includes information to format configuration information into a binary data object as well as information to format configuration information into a human readable configuration object.

A system, comprising:
- a managing device comprising a processor and a memory including instructions, the instructions executed by the processor to cause the managing device to:
- transmit, to a managed device, a first command requesting configuration information;
- receive, from the managed device, a binary data object including formatted binary encoded configuration data points;
- format the binary data object into a human readable format, based in part on a configuration information schema dictionary;
- display the human readable formatted data object to an administrator;
- and
- transmit, to the managed device, a second command including a binary encoded pointer and a desired action;
- and
- the managed device comprising a processor and a memory including instructions, the instructions executed by the processor to cause the managed device to:

- determine, based on the binary encoded pointer, an indicated node of the configuration tree of the managed device;
- and
- perform the desired action on the indicated node.
