Internet-Draft           Common YANG Data Types               March 2019


1.  Introduction

   YANG [RFC7950] is a data modeling language used to model
   configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration
   Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241].  The YANG language supports a small set
   of built-in data types and provides mechanisms to derive other types
   from the built-in types.

   This document introduces a collection of common data types derived
   from the built-in YANG data types.  The derived types are designed to
   be applicable for modeling all areas of management information.  The
   definitions are organized in several YANG modules.  The
   "ietf-yang-types" module contains generally useful data types.  The
   "ietf-inet-types" module contains definitions that are relevant for
   the Internet protocol suite.

   This document adds new type definitions to the YANG modules and
   obsoletes [RFC6991].  For further details, see the revision
   statements of the YANG modules in Section 3 and Section 4 and the
   summary in Appendix A.

   This document uses the YANG terminology defined in Section 3 of
   [RFC7950].

   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.

2.  Overview

   This section provides a short overview of the types defined in
   subsequent sections and their equivalent Structure of Management
   Information Version 2 (SMIv2) [RFC2578][RFC2579] data types.  A YANG
   data type is equivalent to an SMIv2 data type if the data types have
   the same set of values and the semantics of the values are
   equivalent.

   Table 1 lists the types defined in the ietf-yang-types YANG module
   and the corresponding SMIv2 types (- indicates there is no
   corresponding SMIv2 type).

       The date-and-time type is compatible with the dateTime XML
       schema type with the following notable exceptions:

       (a) The date-and-time type does not allow negative years.

       (b) The date-and-time time-offset -00:00 indicates an unknown
           time zone (see RFC 3339) while -00:00 and +00:00 and Z

       (c) The canonical format (see below) of date-and-time values

       This type is not equivalent to the DateAndTime textual
       convention of the SMIv2 since RFC 3339 uses a different

       The canonical format for date-and-time values with a known time

       the device's configured known offset to UTC time.  A change of

        Internet domain names are only loosely specified.  Section
        3.5 of RFC 1034 recommends a syntax (modified in Section
        2.1 of RFC 1123).  The pattern above is intended to allow
        for current practice in domain name use, and some possible
        future expansion.  It is designed to hold various types of
        domain names, including names used for A or AAAA records
        (host names) and other records, such as SRV records.  Note
        that Internet host names have a stricter syntax (described
        in RFC 952) than the DNS recommendations in RFCs 1034 and
        1123, and that systems that want to store host names in
        schema node instances using the domain-name type are
        recommended to adhere to this stricter standard to ensure
        interoperability.

        The encoding of DNS names in the DNS protocol is limited
        to 255 characters.  Since the encoding consists of labels
        prefixed by a length bytes and there is a trailing NULL
        byte, only 253 characters can appear in the textual dotted
        notation.

        The description clause of schema nodes using the domain-name
        type MUST describe when and how these names are resolved to
        IP addresses.  Note that the resolution of a domain-name value
        may require to query multiple DNS records (e.g., A for IPv4
        and AAAA for IPv6).  The order of the resolution process and
        which DNS record takes precedence can either be defined
        explicitly or may depend on the configuration of the
        resolver.

        Domain-name values use the US-ASCII encoding.  Their canonical
        format uses lowercase US-ASCII characters.  Internationalized

        6.2.1, 6.2.2.1, and 6.2.2.2.  All unnecessary

        characters are set to lowercase except for hexadecimal
        digits, which are normalized to uppercase as described in
        Section 6.2.2.1.

        The purpose of this normalization is to help provide
        unique URIs.  Note that this normalization is not
        sufficient to provide uniqueness.  Two URIs that are
        textually distinct after this normalization may still be

        they permit.  For example, 'data:' and 'urn:' schemes

        A zero-length URI is not a valid URI.  This can be used to

5.  IANA Considerations

   This document registers two URIs in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].
   Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registrations have
   been made.

     URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types
     Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
     XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.

     URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types
     Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
     XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.

   This document registers two YANG modules in the YANG Module Names
   registry [RFC6020].

     name:         ietf-yang-types
     namespace:    urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types
     prefix:       yang

6.  Security Considerations

   This document defines common data types using the YANG data modeling
   language.  The definitions themselves have no security impact on the
   Internet, but the usage of these definitions in concrete YANG modules
   might have.  The security considerations spelled out in the YANG
   specification [RFC7950] apply for this document as well.
