Introduction This document defines a YANG data model for the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) & Management of Application- Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Protocol. The basic purpose of this YANG data model is discussed in Section 16 of [RFC7285]. The operator can use the data model to set up the ALTO server, create, update and remove ALTO information resources, manage the access control, configure server discovery, and collect statistical data. This document only focuses on the common and implementation-agnostic data model for purposes including deploying an ALTO server/client, operating and managing a running ALTO server/client, functionality/ capability configuration of ALTO services, and monitoring ALTO- related performance metrics. Any implementation-specific information is not in the scope of this document. Section 4.1 illustrates more details about what is and is not in the scope. Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 define more concrete requirements for the data model. The basic structure of this YANG data model is guided by Section 16 of [RFC7285] and [RFC7971]. Although the scope of the YANG data model in this document mainly focuses on the support of the base ALTO protocol [RFC7285] and the existing ALTO standard extensions Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 3] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 (including [RFC8189], [RFC8895], [RFC8896], [RFC9240], [RFC9241], and {RFC9275}), the design will also be extensible for future standard extensions (e.g., [I-D.ietf-alto-performance-metrics]). The detailed design of the data model is illustrated by Section 5 and Section 6. And some examples of how to extend this data model for the specific ALTO server implementations are shown in Appendix A. 2. Requirements Language 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. When the words appear in lower case, they are to be interpreted with their natural language meanings. 3. Acronyms and Abbreviations This document uses the following acronyms: OAM: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (Section 3 of [RFC6291]) O&M: OAM and Management (Section 3 of [RFC6291]) 3.1. Tree Diagrams The meaning of the symbols in the tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340]. 3.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from the context in which YANG module each name is defined. Otherwise, names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1. Zhang, et al.

Overview of ALTO O&M Data Model for Reference ALTO Architecture Figure 1 shows a reference architecture for the ALTO server implementation and YANG modules that these server components need to implement. The server manager, information resource manager and data source listeners need to implement ietf-alto.yang (see Section 5). The performance monitor and logging and fault manager need to implement ietf-alto-stats.yang (see Section 6). The data broker and algorithm plugins are not in the scope of the data models defined in this document. But user-specified YANG modules can be applied to different algorithm plugins by augmenting the data model defined in this document (see Appendix A). +----------------------+ +-----------------+ | Performance Monitor: |<-----| Server Manager: | | ietf-alto-stats.yang |<-+ +-| ietf-alto.yang | +----------------------+ | | +-----------------+ report +----------------------+ | | +-------------------+ | Logging and Fault | +---| Information | | Manager: |<---+ | Resource Manager: | | ietf-alto-stats.yang |<-----| ietf-alto.yang | +----------------------+ +-------------------+ ^| || callback |v ............. .............................. / \ ------> .

Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 8] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 As shown in Figure 2, the top-level container 'alto' in the "ietf- alto" module contains a single 'alto-server' and a list of 'alto- client' that are uniquely identified. The list 'alto-client' defines a list of configurations for other applications to bootstrap an ALTO client. These data nodes can also be used by data sources and information resource creation algorithms that are configured by an ALTO server instance. The container 'alto-server' contains both configuration and operational data of an administrated ALTO server instance. module: ietf-alto +--rw alto! +--rw alto-client* [client-id] | ... +--rw alto-server +... +--rw auth-client* [client-id] | ... +--rw role* [role-name] | +--rw role-name role-name | +--rw client* | -> /alto/alto-server/auth-client/client-id +--rw data-source* [source-id] | ... +--rw resource* [resource-id] ...

Figure 4: IETF ALTO Server Level Subtree Structure 5.3.1. Data Model for ALTO Server Setup To satisfy R1 in Section 4.2, the ALTO server instance contains the basic data nodes for the server setup that are detailed in the following subsections. 5.3.1.1. ALTO Server Listen Stack The 'listen' contains all the data nodes for the whole server listen stack across HTTP, TLS, and TCP layers (Figure 5). Zhang, et al.

ALTO Server Discovery Setup In practice, multiple ALTO servers can be deployed for scalability. That may require communication among different ALTO servers. The "ietf-alto" module does not contain any configuration for the communication between peer ALTO servers. Instead, it provides the configuration for how an ALTO server can be discovered by another ALTO server on demand (Figure 6). grouping alto-server-discovery-grouping: +-- (server-discovery-manner)? +--:(reverse-dns) +-- rdns-naptr-records +-- static-prefix* inet:ip-prefix +-- dynamic-prefix-source* -> /alto-server/data-source/source-id Figure 6: IETF ALTO Server Discovery Grouping Structure The 'server-discovery' node provides configuration for the discovery of ALTO servers using a variety of mechanisms. The initial version of the "ietf-alto" module only defines the 'reverse-dns' case that is Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 11] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 used to configure DNS NAPTR records for ALTO server discovery, which is sugested by [RFC7286] and [RFC8686]. It configures a set of endpoints that can be served by this ALTO server. The node contains two leaf lists. The 'static' list contains a list of manually configured endpoints. The dynamic list points to a list of data sources to retrieve the endpoints dynamically. As suggested by [RFC7286] and [RFC8686], the IP prefixes of the endpoints configured by both static and dynamic lists will be translated into DNS NAPTR resource records for server discovery. The server-discovery-manner choice can be augmented by the future modules to support other mechanisms. 5.3.2. Data Model for Logging Management To satisfy R2 in Section 4.2, the ALTO server instance contains the the logging data nodes shonw in Figure 7. The 'logging-system' data node provides configuration to select a logging system to capture log messages generated by an ALTO server. By default, 'syslog' is the only supported logging system. When selecting 'syslog', the related configuration is delegated to the configuration file of the syslog server. grouping alto-logging-system-grouping: +-- (logging-system)? +--:(syslog) +-- syslog-params +-- config-file? inet:uri Figure 7: IETF ALTO Logging System Grouping Structure A specific server implementation can extend the logging-system node to add other logging systems. 5.3.3. Data Model for ALTO-related Management To satisfy R3 in Section 4.2, the data model contains the following ALTO-related management information (Figure 4): * The 'cost-type' list is the registry for the cost types that can be used in the ALTO server. * The 'meta' list contains the customized meta data of the ALTO server. It is populated into the meta field of the default Information Resource Directory (IRD). Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 12] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 5.3.4. Data Model for Security Management To satisfy R4 in Section 4.2, the data model leverages HTTP and TLS to provide basic security management for an ALTO server. All the related configurations are covered by the server listen stack. 5.4. Data Model for ALTO Server Configuration Management 5.4.1. Data Source Configuration Management To satisfy R5-1 in Section 4.2, the ALTO server instance contains a list of 'data-source' entries to subscribe the data sources from which ALTO information resources are derived (Section 16.2.4 of [RFC7285]). module: ietf-alto +--rw alto! ... +--rw alto-server ... +--rw data-source* [source-id] | +--rw source-id string | +--rw source-type identityref | +--rw (update-policy) | | +--:(reactive) | | | +--rw (publish-mode)? | | | +--:(on-change) | | | | +--rw on-change empty | | | +--:(periodic) | | | +--rw feed-interval uint32 | | +--:(proactive) | | +--rw poll-interval uint32 | +--rw (source-params)? ... Figure 8: IETF ALTO Server Data Source Subtree Structure As shown in Figure 8, a 'data-source' list entry includes: * A unique `source-id' for resource creation algorithms to reference. * The 'source-type' attribute to declare the type of the data source. * The 'update-policy' to specify how to get the data update from the data source. Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 13] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 * The 'source-params' to specify where and how to query the data. The update policy can be either reactive or proactive. For the reactive update, the ALTO server reactively waits the data source for pushing updates. For the proactive update, the ALTO server has to proactively fetch the data source periodically. To use the reactive update, two publish modes are supported: * If the 'on-change' attribute is present, the data source is expected to push the update as soon as the data source changes. * Otherwise, if the 'feed-interval' attribute is present, the data source is expected to push the updates periodically. The value of 'feed-interval' specifies the interval of pushing the data change updates in milliseconds. If 'feed-interval' is zero, the data source is expected to work in the 'on-change' mode. To use the proactive update, the poll-interval attribute MUST be present. The value of poll-interval specifies the interval of fetching the data in milliseconds. If poll-interval is zero, the ALTO server will not fetch the data source. The data-source/source-params node can be augmented for different types of data sources. This data model only includes common configuration parameters for an ALTO server to correctly interact with a data source. The implementation-specific parameters of any certain data source can be augmented in another module. An example is included in Appendix A.3. 5.4.2. ALTO Information Resources Configuration Management To satisfy R5-2 and R-3, the ALTO server instance contains a list of 'resource' entries (Figure 9). Each resource entry contains the configurations of an ALTO information resource (See Section 8.1 of [RFC7285]). The operator of the ALTO server can use this model to create, update, and remove the ALTO information resources. Each resource entry provides configurations defining how to create or update an ALTO information resource. Adding a new resource entry notifies the ALTO server to create a new ALTO information resource. Updating an existing resource entry notifies the ALTO server to update the generation parameters (e.g., capabilities and the creation algorithm) of an existing ALTO information resource. Removing an existing resource entry will remove the corresponding ALTO information resource. Zhang, et al.

It may also include an accepted-role node containing a list of role- names that is used by role-based access control for this ALTO information resource. See Section 5.4.3 for details of information resource access control. For some resource-type, the resource entry may also include a dependency node containing the resource-id of the dependent ALTO information resources (Section 9.1.5 of [RFC7285]). For each type of ALTO information resource, the resource entry may also need type-specific parameters. These type-specific parameters include two categories: 1. One category of the type-specific parameters is common for the same type of ALTO information resource. They declare the Capabilities of the ALTO information resource (Section 9.1.3 of [RFC7285]). 2. The other category of the type-specific parameters is algorithm- specific. The developer of the ALTO server can implement their own creation algorithms and augment the algorithm node to declare algorithm-specific input parameters. Except for the ird resource, all the other types of resource entries have an augmented algorithm node. The augmented algorithm node can reference data sources subscribed by the data-source entries (See Section 5.4.1). An example of extending the algorithm node for a specific type of resource is included in Appendix A.4. Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 16] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 The developer does not have to customize the creation algorithm of the ird resource. The default ird resource will be created automatically based on all the added resource entries. The delegated ird resource will be created as a static ALTO information resource (Section 9.2.4 of [RFC7285]). 5.4.3. ALTO Information Resource Access Control Management As per Section 15.5.2 of [RFC7285], the "ietf-alto" module also defines authentication and authorization related configuration to employ access control at the information resource level. The ALTO server returns the IRD to the ALTO client based on its authentication information.

Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 17] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 * auth-client declares a list of ALTO clients that can be authenticated by the internal or external authorization server. This basic model only includes authentication approach directly provided by the HTTP server, but the operators or future documents can augment the authentication choice for different authentication mechanisms. * role defines a list of roles for access control. Each role contains a list of authenticated ALTO clients. Each client can be assigned to multiple roles. The role-name can be referenced by the accepted-role list of a resource. For a given authenticated ALTO client, if one of the roles containing it is allowed to access a resource, this client is allowed to access the resource. 6. Design of ALTO O&M Statistics Data Model The "ietf-alto-stats" module augments the "ietf-alto" module to include statistics at the ALTO server and information resource level (Figure 11).

Model for ALTO Server Failure Monitoring To satisfy R6 in Section 4.2, the "ietf-alto-stats" module contains statistics that indicates server failures (Figure 11). More specifically, num-total-* and num-total-last-* provides server- level failure counters; num-res-* provides information resource-level failure counters. Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 19] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 6.2. Model for ALTO-specific Performance Monitoring To satisfy R7 in Section 4.2,the "ietf-alto-stats" module also contains statistics for ALTO-specific performance metrics (Figure 11). More specifically, this data model contains the following measurement information of "system and service performance" suggested by [RFC7285] and [RFC7971]: * Requests and responses for each information resource * CPU and memory utilization * ALTO map updates * Number of PIDs * ALTO map sizes Besides the above measurement information suggested by [RFC7285] and [RFC7971], the "ietf-alto-stats" module also contains useful measurement information for other ALTO extensions: * num-map-entry and num-base-obj provides measurement for number of generic ALTO entities (for [RFC9240] and [RFC9241]) * num-upd-sess and num-event-* provides statistics for update sessions and events (for [RFC8189]) The "ietf-alto-stats" module only focuses on the performance metrics that can be directly measured at the ALTO server. The following metrics for "measurement of the impact" suggested by [RFC7971] are not contained in this data model: * Total amount and distribution of traffic * Application performance 7.

Security Considerations The "ietf-alto" and "ietf-alto-stats" YANG modules define data nodes that are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication. The Network Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content. None of the readable data nodes in these YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default- deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in these module. None of the writable data nodes in these YANG modules are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default- deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in these modules. These modules use groupings defined in other RFCs that define data nodes that do set the NACM "default-deny-all" and "default-deny- write" extensions. 9.

Appendix A. Examples of Extending the ALTO O&M Data Model Developers and operators can also extend the ALTO O&M data model to align with their own implementations. Specifically, the following nodes of the data model can be augmented: * The server-discovery-manner choice of the server-discovery. * The authentication choice of each auth-client. * The data-source choice. * The algorithm choice of the resource-params of each resource. A.1. An Example Module for Extended Server Discovery Manners The base data model defined by ietf-alto.yang only includes a reverse DNS based server discovery manner. The following example module demonstrates how additional server discovery manners can be augmented into the base data model. The case internet-routing-registry allows the ALTO server to update the server URI to the attribute of the corresponding aut-num class in IRR. The case peeringdb allows the ALTO server to update the server URI to the org object of the organization record in PeeringDB. module example-vendor-alto-server-discovery { yang-version 1.1; namespace "https://example.com/ns/vendor-alto-server-discovery"; prefix vendor-alto-disc; import ietf-alto { prefix alto; Zhang, et al.

An Example Module for Extended Client Authentication Approaches The base data model "ietf-alto" only includes the client authentication approaches directly provided by the HTTP server. However, an implementation may authenticate clients in different ways. For example, an implementation may delegate the authentication to a third-party OAuth 2.0 server. The following example module demonstrates how additional client authentication approaches can enrich the base data model. In this example, the oauth2 case includes the URI to a third-party OAuth 2.0 based authorization server that the ALTO server can redirect to for the client authentication. module example-vendor-alto-auth { yang-version 1.1; namespace "https://example.com/ns/vendor-alto-auth"; prefix vendor-alto-auth; import ietf-inet-types { prefix inet; reference "RFC 6991: Common YANG Data Types"; } import ietf-alto { prefix alto; reference "RFC XXXX: YANG Data Models for the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Protocol"; } organization "Example, Inc."; contact Zhang, et al.

Example Module for Extended Data Sources The base data model defined by ietf-alto.yang does not include any choice cases for specific data sources. The following example module demonstrates how a implementation-specific data source can be augmented into the base data model. The yang-datastore case is used to import the YANG data from a YANG model-driven datastore. It includes: Zhang, et al. Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 57] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 * datastore to indicate which datastore is fetched. * target-paths to specify the list of nodes or subtrees in the datastore. * protocol to indicate which protocol is used to access the datastore.

Expires 13 September 2023 [Page 60] Internet-Draft ALTO O&M YANG March 2023 } A.4. An Example Module for Information Resource Creation Algorithm The base data model "ietf-alto" does not include any choices cases for information resource creation algorithms. But developers may augment the "ietf-alto" module with definitions for custom creation algorithms for different information resources. The following example module demonstrates the parameters of a network map creation algorithm that translates an IETF layer 3 unicast topology into a network map. module: example-vendor-alto-alg augment /alto:alto/alto:alto-server/alto:resource /alto:resource-params/alto:networkmap /alto:alto-networkmap-params/alto:algorithm: +--:(l3-unicast-cluster) +--rw l3-unicast-cluster-algorithm +--rw l3-unicast-topo | +--rw source-datastore | | -> /alto:alto/alto-server/data-source/source-id | +--rw topo-name? leafref +--rw depth? uint32 This example defines a creation algorithm called l3-unicast-cluster- algorithm for the network map resource. It takes two algorithm- specific parameters: 'l3-unicast-topo': This parameter contains information referring to the target path name of an operational yang-datastore data source node (See Appendix A.3) subscribed in the data-source list (See Section 5.4.1). The referenced target path in the corresponding yang-datastore data source is assumed for an IETF layer 3 unicast topology defined in [RFC8346]. The algorithm uses the topology data from this data source to compute the ALTO network map resource. 'source-datastore' refers to the 'source-id' of the operational yang-datastore data source node, and 'topo-name' refers to the 'name' of the target path in the source datastore. 'depth': This optional parameter sets the depth of the clustering algorithm. For example, if the depth sets to 1, the algorithm will generate PID for every l3-node in the topology. The creation algorithm can be reactively called once the referenced data source updates. Therefore, the ALTO network map resource can be updated dynamically. The update of the reference data source depends on the used update-policy (See Section 5.4.1). Zhang, et al.
