RFC 8346            YANG Data Model for L3 Topologies         March 2018


1.  Introduction

   This document introduces a YANG [RFC7950] [RFC6991] data model for
   Layer 3 (L3) network topologies, specifically Layer 3 Unicast.  The
   model allows an application to have a holistic view of the topology
   of a Layer 3 network, all contained in a single conceptual YANG
   datastore.  The data model builds on top of, and augments, the data
   model for network topologies defined in [RFC8345].

   This document also shows how the model can be further refined to
   cover different Layer 3 Unicast topology types.  For this purpose, an
   example model is introduced that covers OSPF [RFC2328].  This example
   is intended purely for illustrative purpose; we expect that a
   complete OSPF model will be more comprehensive and refined than the
   example shown in this document.

   There are multiple applications for a topology data model.  A number
   of use cases have been defined in Section 6 of [USECASE-REQS].  For
   example, nodes within the network can use the data model to capture
   their understanding of the overall network topology and expose it to
   a network controller.  A network controller can then use the
   instantiated topology data to compare and reconcile its own view of
   the network topology with that of the network elements that it
   controls.  Alternatively, nodes within the network could propagate
   this understanding to compare and reconcile this understanding either
   amongst themselves or with help of a controller.  Beyond the network
   element itself, a network controller might even use the data model to
   represent its view of the topology that it controls and expose it to
   applications north of itself.

   The data model for Layer 3 Unicast topologies defined in this
   document is specified in the YANG module "ietf-l3-unicast-topology".
   This YANG module augments the general network topology model defined
   in [RFC8345] with information specific to Layer 3 Unicast.  In this
   way, the general topology model is extended to be able to meet the
   needs of Layer 3 Unicast topologies.

   Information that is kept in the Traffic Engineering Database (TED)
   will be specified in a separate model [YANG-TE] and is outside the
   scope of this specification.

2.  Key Words

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Definitions and Acronyms

   This document defines a YANG data model and thus uses many terms
   defined in YANG [RFC7950] and NETCONF [RFC6241].  Some terms, such as
   "datastore" and "data tree", are repeated here for clarity and
   context.

   Datastore:  A conceptual place to store and access information.  A
      datastore might be implemented, for example, using files, a
      database, flash memory locations, or combinations thereof.  A
      datastore maps to an instantiated YANG data tree (definition
      adopted from [RFC8342]).

   Data subtree:  An instantiated data node and the data nodes that are
      hierarchically contained within it.

   IS-IS:  Intermediate System to Intermediate System protocol

   LSP:  Label Switched Path

   NETCONF:  Network Configuration Protocol

   NMDA:  Network Management Datastore Architecture

   OSPF:  Open Shortest Path First (a link-state routing protocol)

   URI:  Uniform Resource Identifier

   TED:  Traffic Engineering Database

   YANG:  YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration
      data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for
      network management protocols [RFC7950].

4.  Model Structure

   The Layer 3 Unicast topology model is defined by YANG module
   "l3-unicast-topology".  The relationship of this module with other
   YANG modules is roughly depicted in the figure below.

                     Figure 1: Overall Model Structure

   YANG modules "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" collectively
   define the basic network topology model [RFC8345].  YANG module
   "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" augments those models with additional
   definitions needed to represent Layer 3 Unicast topologies.  This
   module in turn can be augmented by YANG modules with additional
   definitions for specific types of Layer 3 Unicast topologies, such as
   OSPF and IS-IS topologies.

   The YANG modules "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" are
   designed to be used in conjunction with implementations that support
   the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in
   [RFC8342].  Accordingly, the same is true for the YANG modules that
   augment it.  In order to allow implementations to use the model even
   in cases when NMDA is not supported, companion YANG modules (that
   SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations that support NMDA) are
   defined in Appendix A.

5.  Layer 3 Unicast Topology Model Overview

   The Layer 3 Unicast topology model is defined by YANG module
   "ietf-l3-unicast-topology".  Its structure is depicted in the
   following diagram.  The notation syntax follows [RFC8340].  For
   purposes of brevity, notifications are not depicted.

   module: ietf-l3-unicast-topology
     augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types:
       +--rw l3-unicast-topology!
     augment /nw:networks/nw:network:
       +--rw l3-topology-attributes
          +--rw name?   string
          +--rw flag*   l3-flag-type
     augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node:
       +--rw l3-node-attributes
          +--rw name?        inet:domain-name
          +--rw flag*        node-flag-type
          +--rw router-id*   rt-types:router-id
          +--rw prefix* [prefix]
             +--rw prefix    inet:ip-prefix
             +--rw metric?   uint32
             +--rw flag*     prefix-flag-type
     augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nt:link:
       +--rw l3-link-attributes
          +--rw name?      string
          +--rw flag*      link-flag-type
          +--rw metric1?   uint64
          +--rw metric2?   uint64
     augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node/nt:termination-point:
       +--rw l3-termination-point-attributes
          +--rw (termination-point-type)?
             +--:(ip)
             |  +--rw ip-address*       inet:ip-address
             +--:(unnumbered)
             |  +--rw unnumbered-id?    uint32
             +--:(interface-name)
                +--rw interface-name?   string

   The module augments the original "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-
   topology" modules as follows:

   o  A new network topology type is introduced, l3-unicast-topology.
      The corresponding container augments the network-types of the
      "ietf-network" module.






Clemm, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 8346            YANG Data Model for L3 Topologies         March 2018


   o  Additional topology attributes are introduced, defined in a
      grouping that augments the "network" list of the network module.
      The attributes include a name for the topology and a set of flags
      (represented by a leaf-list).  Each type of flag is represented by
      a separate identity.  This allows additional flags to be
      introduced in augmenting modules using additional identities
      without needing to revise this module.

   o  Additional data objects for nodes are introduced by augmenting the
      "node" list of the network module.  New objects include a set of
      flags and a list of prefixes.  Each prefix includes an IP prefix,
      a metric, and a prefix-specific set of flags.

   o  Links (in the "ietf-network-topology" module) are augmented with a
      set of parameters that allow a link to be associated with a link
      name, another set of flags, and a link metric.

   o  Termination points (in the "ietf-network-topology" module) are
      augmented with a choice of IP address, identifier, or name.

   In addition, the module defines a set of notifications to alert
   clients of any events concerning links, nodes, prefixes, and
   termination points.  Each notification includes an indication of the
   type of event, the topology from which it originated, and the
   affected node, link, prefix, or termination point.  Also, as a
   convenience to applications, additional data of the affected node,
   link, prefix, or termination point is included.  While this makes
   notifications larger in volume than they need to be, it avoids the
   need for subsequent retrieval of context information that might have
   changed in the meantime.

   This YANG module makes reference to the following documents:
   [RFC2863] and [RFC8343].

7.  Interactions with Other YANG Modules

   As described in Section 4, the model defined in this document builds
   on top of, and augments, the YANG modules defined in [RFC8345].
   Specifically, the "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" module augments the
   "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" modules.  In addition, the
   model makes use of data types defined in [RFC6991].

   The model defined in this document is a protocol-independent YANG
   data model with Layer 3 topology information.  It is separate from
   and not linked with data models that are used to configure routing
   protocols or routing information, e.g., "ietf-routing" [RFC8022] and
   "ietf-rib-extension" [YANG-RIB].  That said, the model does import a
   type definition from model "ietf-routing-types" [RFC8294].

   The model complies with the requirements for the ephemeral state
   found in [RFC8242].  For ephemeral topology data that is server
   provided, the process tasked with maintaining topology information
   will load information from the routing process (such as OSPF) into
   the data model without relying on a configuration datastore.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This document registers the following namespace URIs in the "IETF XML
   Registry" [RFC3688]:

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l3-unicast-topology
   Registrant Contact: The IESG.
   XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state
   Registrant Contact: The IESG.
   XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

RFC 8346            YANG Data Model for L3 Topologies         March 2018


   This document registers the following YANG modules in the "YANG
   Module Names" registry [RFC6020]:

   Name: ietf-l3-unicast-topology
   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l3-unicast-topology
   Prefix: l3t
   Reference: RFC 8346

   Name: ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state
   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state
   Prefix: l3t-s
   Reference: RFC 8346

9.  Security Considerations

   The YANG modules specified in this document define a schema for data
   that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  The lowest NETCONF layer
   is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
   transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242].  The lowest RESTCONF layer
   is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
   [RFC5246].

   The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to
   restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
   operations and content.

   In general, Layer 3 Unicast topologies are system-controlled and
   provide ephemeral topology information.  In an NMDA-compliant server,
   they are only part of <operational>, which provides read-only access
   to clients, so they are less vulnerable.  That said, the YANG modules
   do in principle allow information to be configurable.

   There are a number of data nodes defined in these YANG modules that
   are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
   default).  These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
   in some network environments.  Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
   to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
   effect on network operations.  These are the subtrees and data nodes
   and their sensitivity/vulnerability in the "ietf-l3-unicast-topology"
   module:

   o  l3-topology-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to
      sabotage the configuration of any of the contained attributes,
      i.e., the name or the flag data nodes.

   o  l3-node-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage
      the configuration of important node attributes, such as the
      router-id or node prefix.

   o  l3-link-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage
      the configuration of important link attributes, such as name,
      flag, and metrics of the link.

   o  l3-termination-point-attributes: A malicious client could attempt
      to sabotage the configuration information of a termination point,
      such as the termination point's IP address and interface name.

RFC 8346            YANG Data Model for L3 Topologies         March 2018


Appendix A.  Companion YANG Data Model for Implementations Not Compliant
             with NMDA

   The YANG module "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" defined in this document
   augments two modules defined in [RFC8345]: "ietf-network" and
   "ietf-network-topology".  These two modules were designed to be used
   in conjunction with implementations that support the Network
   Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].  In
   order to allow implementations to use the model in cases when NMDA is
   not supported, [RFC8345] defines two companion modules,
   "ietf-network- state" and "ietf-network-topology-state", that
   represent state models of networks and network topologies,
   respectively.

   In order to be able to use the model for Layer 3 topologies defined
   in this document in conjunction with implementations not compliant
   with NMDA, a corresponding companion module needs to be introduced as
   well.  This companion module, "ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state",
   mirrors "ietf-l3-unicast-topology".  However, the module augments
   "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state" (instead of
   "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology"), and all of its data
   nodes are non-configurable.

   Similar considerations apply to any module that augments "ietf-l3-
   unicast-topology", such as the example module defined in Appendix B
   (i.e., example-ospf-topology).  For implementations that are not
   compliant with NMDA, companion modules that represent state
   information and that are non-configurable will need to be introduced.
   These modules augment "ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state" instead of
   "ietf-l3-unicast-topology".  Companion modules for the example module
   defined in Appendix B are not provided (since it is just an example).

   Like "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state",
   "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations
   that support NMDA.  The module is therefore defined in an appendix.

   The definition of the module follows below.  As the structure of the
   module mirrors that of its underlying module, the YANG tree is not
   depicted separately.

Appendix B.  Extending the Model

   The model can be extended for specific Layer 3 Unicast types.
   Examples include OSPF and IS-IS topologies.  This appendix introduces
   a YANG module that defines a simple topology model for OSPF.  This
   module is intended to serve as an example that illustrates how the
   general topology model can be refined across multiple levels.  It
   does not constitute a full-fledged OSPF topology model, which may be
   more comprehensive and refined than the model that is described here.

B.1.  Example OSPF Topology

B.1.1.  Model Overview

   The following model shows how the Layer 3 Unicast topology model can
   be extended, in this case, to cover OSPF topologies.  For this
   purpose, a set of augmentations are introduced in a separate YANG
   module, "example-ospf-topology", whose structure is depicted in the
   following diagram.  As before, the notation syntax follows [RFC8340].
   Note that one of the lines has been wrapped to adhere to the
   72-character line limitation of RFCs.

   augment /l3t:l3-link-event:
     +---- ospf!
     +---- ospf-link-attributes

   The module augments "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" as follows:

   o  A new topology type for an OSPF topology is introduced.

   o  Additional topology attributes are defined in a new grouping that
      augments l3-topology-attributes of the "ietf-l3-unicast-topology"
      module.  The attributes include an OSPF area-id identifying the
      OSPF area.

RFC 8346            YANG Data Model for L3 Topologies         March 2018


   o  Additional data objects for nodes are introduced by augmenting the
      l3-node-attributes of the "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" module.  New
      objects include router-type and dr-interface-id for pseudonodes.

   o  Links are augmented with OSPF link attributes.

   In addition, the module extends notifications for events concerning
   Layer 3 nodes and links with OSPF attributes.

   It should be noted that the model defined here represents topology
   and is intended as an example.  It does not define how to configure
   OSPF routers or interfaces.

B.1.2.  OSPF Topology YANG Module

   The OSPF Topology YANG module is specified below.  As mentioned, the
   module is intended as an example for how the Layer 3 Unicast topology
   model can be extended to cover OSPF topologies, but it is not
   normative.  Accordingly, the module is not delimited with
   <CODE BEGINS> and <CODE ENDS> tags.

Appendix C.  An Example

   This section contains an example of an instance data tree in JSON
   encoding [RFC7951].  The example instantiates "ietf-l3-unicast-
   topology" for the topology that is depicted in the following diagram.
   There are three nodes: D1, D2, and D3.  D1 has three termination
   points: 1-0-1, 1-2-1, and 1-3-1.  D2 has three termination points as
   well: 2-1-1, 2-0-1, and 2-3-1.  D3 has two termination points: 3-1-1
   and 3-2-1.  In addition, there are six links, two between each pair
   of nodes, with one going in each direction.
