1.  Introduction

   Client layer services/signals are normally mapped onto carrying them
   across the network transport tunnels via client/server layer
   adaptation relationships.  Such relationships are usually modeled as
   multi-layer topologies, whereas tunnels set up in underlay (server)
   topologies support links in respective overlay (client) topologies.
   In this respect having a link in a client topology means that the
   client layer traffic could be forwarded between link termination
   points (LTPs) terminating the link on opposite sides by the
   supporting tunnel(s) provisioned in the server layer topology.

   This said there are numerous use cases in which describing the client
   service to server tunnel bindings via the topology formalism is
   impractical.  Below are some examples of such use cases:

   o  Mapping client services onto tunnels within the same network
      layer, for example, mapping L3 VPNs or MPLS-SR services onto IP
      MPLS tunnels;

   o  Mapping client services onto tunnels provisioned in the highest
      layer topology supported by the network.  For example, mapping

      L2VPNs or E(V)PL services onto IP MPLS tunnels provisioned in an
      IP network;

   o  Mapping client services to tunnels provisioned in separate network
      layers at the network's access points.  Consider, for example, an
      OTN/ODUk network that is used to carry client signals of, say, 20
      different types (e.g.  Ethernet, SDH, FKON, etc.) entering and
      exiting the network over client facing interfaces.  Although it is
      possible to describe such a network as a 21-layer TE topology with
      the OTN/ODUk topology serving each of the 20 client layer
      topologies [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo], such a description would
      be verbose, cumbersome, difficult to expand to accommodate
      additional client signals and unnecessary, because the client
      layer topologies would have zero switching flexibility inside the
      network (i.e. contain only unrelated links connecting access
      points across respective layer networks), and all what is required
      to know from the point of view of a management application is what
      ODUk tunnels are established or required, which client signals the
      tunnels could carry and at which network border nodes and how the
      client signals could be bound (i.e. adopted) to the tunnels.

   It is worth noting that such non-topological client-service-to-
   server-tunnel mapping almost always happens on network border nodes.
   However, there are also important use cases where such a mapping is
   required in the middle of the network.  One such use case is
   controlling on IP/MPLS FRR PLRs which LSPs are mapped onto which
   backup tunnels.

   It is important to bear in mind that service2tunnel mappings could be
   very complex: large number of instances of services of the same or
   different types (possibly governed by different models) could be
   mapped on the same set of tunnels, with the latter being set in
   different network layers and of either TE or non-TE nature, P2P or
   P2MP or MP2MP type.  Furthermore, the mappings could be hierarchical:
   tunnels carrying services could be clients of other tunnels.

   Despite of the differences of transport tunnels and of services they
   carry the srvice2tunnel mappings could be modeled in a simple uniform
   way.  Access to a data store of such mappings could be beneficial to
   network management applications.  It would be possible, for example,
   to discover which services depend on which tunnels, which services
   will be affected if a given tunnel goes out of service, how many more
   services could be placed onto a given TE tunnel without the latter
   violating its TE commitments (such as bandwidth and delay).  It would
   be also possible to demand in a single request moving numerous
   (ranges of) service instances from one set of tunnels to another.

   This document defines a YANG data model for facilitating said
   xervice2tunnel mappings.

   The YANG model in this document conforms to the Network Management
   Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

1.1.  Terminology

   The keywords "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].

   The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are not redefined
   here:

   o  augment

   o  data model

   o  data node

1.2.  Tree Diagrams

   A simplified graphical representation of the data model is presented
   in this document, by using the tree format defined in [RFC8340].

1.3.  Prefixes in Data Node Names

   In this document, names of data nodes, actions, 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.

         +----------+-----------------+-------------------------+

2.  Explicit vs. Implicit Service2tunnel Mapping.  Steering Services to
    Transport Tunnel Pools

   There are use cases in which client services require hard separation
   of the transport carrying them from the transport carrying other
   services.  However, environment in which the services may share the
   same transport tunnels is far more common.  For this reason the model
   defined in this document suggests replacing (or at least augmenting)
   the explicit service2tunnel mapping configuration (in which the
   tunnels are referred to by their IDs/names) with an implicit mapping.
   Specifically, the model introduces the notion of tunnel pool.  A
   tunnel pool could be referred to by its network unique color and
   requires a service2tunnel mapping configuration to specify the tunnel
   pool color(s) instead of tunnel IDs/names.  The model governs tunnel
   pool data store independently from the services steered on the
   tunnels.  It is assumed (although not required) that the tunnels -
   constituents/components of a tunnel pool - are of the same type,
   provisioned using a common template.  Importantly they could be
   dynamically added to/removed from the pool without necessitating
   service2tunnel mapping re-configuration.  Such a service to tunnel
   pool steering approach has the following advantages:

   o  Scalability and efficiency: pool component bandwidth utilization
      could be monitored, tunnels could be added to/removed from the
      pool if/when detected that current component bandwidth utilization
      has crossed certain thresholds.  This allows for a very efficient
      network resource utilization and obviates the network management
      application from a very difficult task of service to tunnel
      mapping planning;

   o  Automation and elasticity: pool component attributes could be
      modified - bandwidth auto-adjusted, protection added, delay
      constrained, etc.. The tunnels could be completely or partially
      replaced with tunnels of different types (e.g.  TE vs. non-TE, P2P
      vs. P2MP, etc.) or even provisioned in different network layers
      (OTN/ODUk tunnels replacing IP TE tunnels).  Importantly, all such
      modifications do not require service2tunell mapping re-
      configurations as long as the modified or new tunnels remain
      within the same tunnel pool(s);

   o  Transparency: new service sites supported by additional PEs could
      be added without service2tunnel mapping re-configuration.

3.  The purpose of the model

   The model is targeted to facilitate for network management
   applications, such as service orchestrators, the control of pools of
   transport tunnels and steering onto them client services



Bryskin, et al.           Expires July 15, 2020                 [Page 5]

   independently of network technology/layer specifics of both the
   services and the tunnels.  The model could be applied to/implemented
   on physical devices, such as IP routers, as well as on abstract
   topology nodes.  Furthermore, the model could be supported by a
   network (domain) controller, such as ACTN PNC, to act as a proxy
   server on behalf of any network element/node (physical or abstract)
   under its control.

4.  Model Design

   The data store described/governed by the model is comprised of a
   single top level list - TunnelPools.  A TunnelPool, list element, is
   a container describing a set of transport tunnels (presumably with
   similar characteristics) identified by a network unique ID (color).
   A given TunnelPool could be generic to the entire network or specific
   to a particular netwrok slice or network abstract topology.
   Furthermore, a TunnelPool may have no tunnels (i.e. may have empty
   Tunnels list).  Service steered onto such a TunnelPool will be
   carried by best effort forwarding technique and flexibility available
   in the slice/topology the TunnelPool is assigned to or generally in
   the network

   The TunnelPool container has the following fields:

   o  Color [uint32 list key];

   o  Slice/Abstract topology ID (if zero, the TunnelPool is generic to
      the network).

   o  Tunnels list;

   o  Services list.

   The Tunnels list describes the pool constituents - active transport
   tunnels.  The list members - Tunnel containers - include the
   following information:

   o  tunnel type [e.g.  P2P-TE, P2MP-TE, SR-TE, SR P2P, LDP P2P, LDP
      MP2MP, GRE, PBB, etc]

   o  tunnel type specific tunnel ID [provided that a data store of the
      tunnel type, e.g.  TE tunnels, is supported, the tunnelID allows
      for the management application to look up the tunnel in question
      to obtain detailed information about the tunnel];

   o  tunnel encapsulation [e.g.  MPLS label stack, Ethernet STAGs, GRE
      header, PBB header, etc].

Internet-Draft   YANG Model Steering Services to Tunnels    January 2020


   The Services list describes services currently steered on the tunnel
   pool.  The list members - Service containers - have the following
   attributes:

   o  service type [e.g. fixed/transparent, L3VPN, L2VPN, EVPN, ELINE,
      EPL, EVPL, L1VPN, ACTN VN, etc.];

   o  service type specific service ID [provided that a data store of
      the service type, e.g.  L2VPN, is supported, the service ID allows
      for the management application to look up the service in question
      to obtain detailed information about the service];

   o  client ports (source/destination node LTPs over which the service
      enters/exits the node/network, relevant only for fixed/transparent
      services);

   o  service encapsulation [e.g.  MPLS label stack, Ethernet CTAGs,
      etc.] - for service multiplexing/de-multiplexing on/from a
      statistically shared tunnel].

8.  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 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.

   There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module 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:

   /tunnel-pools/tunnel-pool
      This subtree specifies a list of tunnel pools.  Modifying the
      configurations cause interruption to related services and tunnels.

   Some of 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:

   /tunnel-pools/tunnel-pool
      Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the information
      of related services and tunnels.
