Why each option
NETCONF uses SSH as its transport (RFC 6242) and RESTCONF uses HTTP/HTTPS as its transport (RFC 8040).
gRPC is the transport used by gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface), not RESTCONF.
NETCONF mandates SSH as its transport protocol per RFC 6242, which defines NETCONF over SSH using TCP port 830, providing secure and reliable transport for network configuration operations.
RESTCONF uses HTTP or HTTPS as its transport protocol per RFC 8040, leveraging REST architecture over standard web protocols to expose YANG-modeled data via HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
SSH is the transport for NETCONF, not RESTCONF; RESTCONF uses HTTP/HTTPS.
NETCONF uses SSH over port 830, not HTTP; HTTP is the transport for RESTCONF.
gRPC is associated with gNMI/gNOI (OpenConfig protocols), not NETCONF.
