Internet-Draft        Slice Policy YANG Data Model          October 2021


1.  Introduction

   An IETF network slice [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] is a well-
   defined structure of connectivity requirements and associated network
   behaviors.  An IETF Network Slice Controller (NSC) is responsible for
   the aggregation of multiple IETF network slice traffic streams into a
   slice aggregate [I-D.bestbar-teas-ns-packet].  The controller uses a
   policy construct called the slice policy to instantiate control and
   data plane behaviors on select topological elements associated with
   the Network Resource Partition (NRP) that supports a slice aggregate.
   An NRP is the collection of resources that are used to support a
   slice aggregate.  The enforcement of the slice policy results in the
   creation of an NRP.

   A slice policy specifies the topology associated with the NRP and
   dictates how an NRP associated with a slice aggregate can be realized
   in IP/MPLS networks using one of three modes.  The slice policy
   dictates if the partitioning of the shared network resources can be
   achieved in (a) just the data plane or in (b) just the control plane
   or in (c) both the control and data planes.

   The slice policy modes (a) and (c) require the forwarding engine on
   each slice policy capable node to identify the traffic belonging to a
   specific slice aggregate and to apply the corresponding Per-Hop
   Behavior (PHB) that determines the forwarding treatment of the
   packets belonging to the slice aggregate.  The identification of the
   slice aggregate that the packet belongs to and the corresponding
   forwarding treatment that needs to be applied to the packet is
   dictated by the slice policy.

   The slice policy modes (b) and (c) require the distributed/
   centralized resource reservation manager in the control plane to
   manage NRP resource reservation.  The provisions for enabling slice
   aggregate aware traffic engineering are dictated by the slice policy.

   This document defines a YANG data model for the management of slice
   policies on slice policy capable nodes and controllers in IP/MPLS
   networks.

1.1.  Terminology

   The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
   [RFC7950].

   The reader is expected to be familiar with the terminology specified
   in [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] and
   [I-D.bestbar-teas-ns-packet].  The term "Network Slice" used in this

   document must be interpreted as "IETF Network Slice"
   [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices].

1.2.  Tree Structure

   A simplified graphical representation of the data model is presented
   in Appendix A of this document.  The tree format defined in [RFC8340]
   is used for the YANG data model tree representation.

2.  Slice Policy Data Model

2.1.  Model Usage

   The onus is on the IETF network slice controller to consume the
   network slice service intent and realize it with an appropriate slice
   policy.  Multiple IETF network slices can be mapped to the same slice
   aggregate resulting in the application of the same slice policy.  The
   network wide consistent slice policy definition (provided by the data
   model defined in this document) is distributed to the slice policy
   capable nodes and controllers.  The specification of the network
   slice intent on the northbound interface of the controller and the
   mechanism used to associate the network slice to a slice policy are
   outside the scope of this document.

2.2.  Model Structure

   The high-level model structure defined by this document is as shown
   below:

   module: ietf-slice-policy
     +--rw network-slicing!
        +--rw phbs
        |  +--rw phb* [id]
        |  ............

           +--rw slice-policy* [name]

              +--rw slice-selectors
              |  +--rw slice-selector* [index]

              +--rw member-topologies
                 +--rw member-topology* [topology-filter]
                    ............

Internet-Draft        Slice Policy YANG Data Model          October 2021


   In addition to the set of slice policies, the top-level container
   also includes a placeholder for the set of PHBs that are referenced
   by the slice policies.

2.3.  Per-Hop-Behaviors

   The 'phbs' container carries a list of PHB entries.  Each of these
   entries can be referenced by one or more slice policies.  A PHB entry
   can either carry a reference to a generic PHB profile available on
   the node or carry a custom PHB profile.  The custom PHB profile
   includes attributes to construct an NRP specific QoS profile and any
   classes within it.

        +--rw phbs
        |  +--rw phb* [id]
        |     +--rw id                                     uint16
        |     +--rw (profile-type)?
        |        +--:(profile)
        |        |  +--rw profile?                         string
        |        +--:(custom-profile)
        |           ............

2.4.  Slice Policies

   The 'slice-policies' container carries a list of slice policies.
   Each slice-policy entry is identified by a name and holds the set of
   attributes needed to instantiate the NRP associated with a slice
   aggregate.  The key elements of each slice-policy entry are discussed
   in the following sub-sections.

2.4.1.  Resource Reservation

   The 'resource-reservation' container carries data nodes that are used
   to support slice aggregate aware bandwidth engineering.  The data
   nodes in this container facilitate preference-based preemption of
   slice aggregate aware TE paths, sharing of resources amongst a group
   of NRPs and backup path bandwidth protection.

              |                   rt-types:percentage

2.4.2.  Slice Selectors

   The 'slice-selectors' container carries a set of data plane field
   selectors which are used to identify the packets belonging to the
   given slice aggregate.  Each slice-selector entry in the list has an
   index associated with it.  The slice selector with the lowest index
   is the default slice selector used by all the topological elements
   that are members of the given slice policy.  The other entries are
   used only when there is a need to override the default slice selector
   on some select topological elements.

   otherwise, this is the default phb to be used by all the topological
   elements that are members of the given slice policy.

2.4.4.  Member Topologies

   The 'member-topologies' container consists of a set of member
   topologies.  Each member topology references a topology filter
   [I-D.bestbar-teas-yang-topology-filter].  The topological elements
   that satisfy the membership criteria can optionally override the
   default PHB and/or the default slice selector.

6.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module specified in this document defines 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
   [RFC8446].

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [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.

   The data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
   writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
   default) 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:

   *  "/network-slicing/phbs": This subtree specifies the configurations
      for slice policy per-hop behaviors.  By manipulating these data
      nodes, a malicious attacker may cause unauthorized and improper
      behavior to be provided for the slice aggregate traffic on the
      network element.

   *  "/network-slicing/slice-policies": This subtree specifies the
      configurations for slice policies on a given network element.  By
      manipulating these data nodes, a malicious attacker may cause
      unauthorized and improper behavior to be provided for the slice
      aggregate traffic on the network element.

   The readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
   notification) to these data nodes.  These are the subtrees and data
   nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   *  "/network-slicing/phbs": Unauthorized access to this subtree can
      disclose the slice policy PHBs defined on the network element.
