When this feature is enabled, responses to gNMI get requests as well as NETCONF get-config responses will contain the default values for YANG leafs if those leafs do not have any other value. This means that where a leaf value would normally be returned in a response, its default value (as defined in the YANG model) will be returned if the leaf does not have any other value assigned to it. Before this change, leafs that had a default value would not have been included in gNMI get responses.

This feature allows Octa to act as a collector for IPFIX and sFlow datagrams and to aggregate and stream the collected data in response to a gNMI subscription. Octa is a process in EOS which combines OpenConfig and certain TerminAttr functionality, primarily with the intent of servicing gNMI requests for OpenConfig paths and for "EOS native" paths.
