Synchronous API Operations:

Immediate Response: In a synchronous operation, the client sends a request to the server and waits for an immediate response. The client cannot proceed until it receives this response.

Blocking Call: The call is considered blocking, meaning the client application is blocked from performing other tasks until the response is received.

Use Case: This is useful when the result of the operation is required immediately to continue the workflow.

Asynchronous API Operations:

Delayed Response: In an asynchronous operation, the client sends a request to the server and does not wait for an immediate response. Instead, it continues its processing and can check back later for the result.

Non-blocking Call: The call is non-blocking, allowing the client to perform other tasks while waiting for the server to complete the operation.

Polling and Webhooks: Clients may poll the server for status updates or subscribe to a webhook to be notified when the operation is complete.

Task ID: The server may provide a task ID in the response that can be used to check the status of the operation later.

In NETCONF, the operation retrieves all or part of a configuration and state data from the running datastore. The operation retrieves configuration data from a specific configuration datastore (e.g., running, startup). These operations correspond to the RESTCONF GET operation, which is used to retrieve configuration and state data from a network device. This mapping between NETCONF and RESTCONF operations is described in detail in the RFC 6241 for NETCONF and RFC 8040 for RESTCONF.

A default gateway serves as an access point or IP router that a networked computer uses to send information to a computer in another network or the internet. It is essentially the forwarding node that routes traffic from a local network to other networks. When an IP packet's destination is not within the local network and no specific route is defined in the routing table, the packet is sent to the default gateway.
