            UDP-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions
                    draft-unyte-netconf-udp-notif-00

Abstract

   This document describes an UDP-based notification mechanism to
   collect data from networking devices.  A shim header is proposed to
   facilitate the streaming of data directly from line cards to a
   collector.  The objective is to rely on a lightweight approach to
   allow for higher frequency and better transit performance compared to
   already established notification mechanisms.

1.  Introduction

   Sub-Notif [RFC8639] defines a mechanism that lets a collector
   subscribe to the publication of YANG-defined data maintained in a
   YANG [RFC7950] datastore.  The mechanism separates the management and
   control of subscriptions from the transport used to deliver the data.
   Three transport mechanisms, namely NETCONF transport [RFC8640],
   RESTCONF transport [RFC8650], and HTTPS transport
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-https-notif] have been defined so far for such
   notification messages.

   While powerful in its features and general in their architecture, the
   currently available transport mechanisms need to be complemented to
   support data publications at high velocity from devices that feature
   a distributed architecture.  The currently available transports are
   based on TCP and lack the efficiency needed to continuously send
   notifications at high velocity.

   This document specifies a transport option for Sub-Notif that
   leverages UDP.  Specifically, it facilitates the distributed data
   collection mechanism described in
   [I-D.unyte-netconf-distributed-notif].  In the case of data
   originating from multiple line cards, centralized designs require
   data to be internally forwarded from those line cards to the push
   server, presumably on a route processor, which then combines the
   individual data items into a single consolidated stream.  The
   centralized data collection mechanism can result in a performance
   bottleneck, especially when large amounts of data are involved.

   What is needed is the support for a mechanism that allows for
   directly pushing multiple substreams, e.g. one from each line card,
   without passing them through an additional processing stage for
   internal consolidation.  The proposed UDP-based transport allows for
   such a distributed data collection approach.

   o  Firstly, a UDP approach reduces the burden of maintaining a large
      amount of active TCP connections at the collector, notably in
      cases where it collects data from the line cards of a large amount
      of networking devices.

   o  Secondly, as no connection state needs to be maintained, UDP
      encapsulation can be easily implemented by the hardware of the
      publication streamer, which will further improve performance.

   o  Ultimately, such advantages allow for a larger data analysis
      feature set, as more voluminous, finer grained data sets can be
      streamed to the collector.

   The transport described in this document can be used for transmitting
   notification messages over both IPv4 and IPv6.

   This document describes the notification mechanism.  It is intended
   to be used in conjunction with [RFC8639], extended by
   [I-D.unyte-netconf-distributed-notif].

   Section 2 describes the control of the proposed transport mechanism.
   Section 3 details the notification mechanism and message format.
   Section 4 discusses congestion control.  Section 5 covers the
   applicability of the proposed mechanism.

2.  Configured Subscription to UDP-Notif

   This section describes how the proposed mechanism can be controlled
   using subscription channels based on NETCONF or RESTCONF.

   Following the usual approach of Sub-Notif, configured subscriptions
   contain the location information of all the receivers, including the
   IP address and the port number, so that the publisher can actively
   send UDP-Notif messages to the corresponding receivers.

   Note that receivers MAY NOT be already up and running when the
   configuration of the subscription takes effect on the monitored
   device.  The first message MUST be a separate subscription-started
   notification to indicate the Receiver that the stream has started
   flowing.  Then, the notifications can be sent immediately without
   delay.  All the subscription state notifications, as defined in
   [RFC8639], MUST be encapsulated in separate notification messages.

3.  UDP-Based Transport

   In this section, we specify the UDP-Notif Transport behaviour.
   Section 3.1 describes the general design of the solution.
   Section 3.2 specifies the UDP-Notif message format.  Section 3.3
   describes a generic optional sub TLV format.  Section 3.3.1 uses such
   options to provide a fragmentation solution for large UDP-Notif
   message payloads.  Section 3.4 describes the encoding of the message
   payload.

3.1.  Design Overview

   As specified in Sub-Notif, the telemetry data is encapsulated in the
   NETCONF/RESTCONF notification message, which is then encapsulated and
   carried using transport protocols such as TLS or HTTP2.  Figure 1
   illustrates the the structure of an UDP-Notif message.

   o  The Message Header contains information that facilitate the
      message transmission before deserializing the notification
      message.

   o  Notification Message is the encoded content that the publication
      stream transports.  The common encoding methods include GPB [1],
      CBOR [RFC7049], JSON, and XML.
      [I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages] describes the structure
      of the Notification Message for single notifications and bundled
      notifications.

3.2.  Format of the UDP-Notif Message Header

   The UDP-Notif Message Header contains information that facilitate the
   message transmission before deserializing the notification message.
   The data format is shown in Figure 2.

     0                   1                   2                   3

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


                 Figure 2: UDP-Notif Message Header Format

   The Message Header contains the following field:

   o  Version represents the PDU (Protocol Data Unit) encoding version.
      The initial version value is 0.

   o  ET is a 4 bit identifier to indicate the encoding type used for
      the Notification Message. 16 types of encoding can be expressed:

      *  0: GPB;

      *  1: CBOR;

      *  2: JSON;

      *  3: XML;

      *  others are reserved.

   o  Header Length is the length of the message header in octets,
      including both the fixed header and the options.

Internet-Draft               unyte-udp-notif                   July 2020


   o  Message Length is the total length of the message within one UDP
      datagram, measured in octets, including the message header.

   o  Message-Generator-ID is a 32-bit identifier of the process which
      created the notification message.  This allows disambiguation of
      an information source, such as the identification of different
      line cards sending the notification messages.  The source IP
      address of the UDP datagrams SHOULD NOT be interpreted as the
      identifier for the host that originated the UDP-Notif message.
      Indeed, the streamer sending the UDP-Notif message could be a
      relay for the actual source of data carried within UDP-Notif
      messages.

   o  The Message ID is generated continuously by the sender of UDP-
      Notif messages.  Different subscribers share the same Message ID
      sequence.

   o  Options is a variable-length field in the TLV format.  When the
      Header Length is larger than 12 octets, which is the length of the
      fixed header, Options TLVs follow directly after the fixed message
      header (i.e., Message ID).  The details of the options are
      described in the following section.

3.3.  Options

   All the options are defined with the following format, illustrated in
   Figure 3.

     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
     +---------------+---------------+--------------------------------
     |     Type      |    Length     |    Variable-length data
     +---------------+---------------+--------------------------------

                      Figure 3: Generic Option Format

   o  Type: 1 octet describing the option type;

   o  Length: 1 octet of the TLV Length, including the Type and Length
      fields;

   o  Variable-length data: 0 or more octets of TLV Value.

3.3.1.  Fragmentation Option

   The UDP payload length is limited to 65535.  Application level
   headers will make the actual payload shorter.  Even though binary
   encodings such as GPB and CBOR may not require more space than what



Zheng, et al.           Expires January 11, 2021                [Page 6]

   is left, more voluminous encodings such as JSON and XML may suffer
   from this size limitation.  Although IPv4 and IPv6 senders can
   fragment outgoing packets exceeding their Maximum Transmission
   Unit(MTU), fragmented IP packets may not be desired for operational
   and performance reasons.

   Consequently, implementations of the mechanism SHOULD provide a
   configurable max-fragment-size option to control the maximum size of
   a payload.

     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
                                     +---------------+---------------+
                                     |     Type      |     Length    |
     +-------------------------------+---------------+-------------+-+
     |            Fragment Number                                  |L|
     +-------------------------------------------------------------+-+

                   Figure 4: Fragmentation Option Format

   The Fragmentation Option is to be included when the message content
   is fragmented into multiple pieces.  Different fragments of one
   message share the same Message ID.  An illustration is provided in
   Figure 4.  The fields of this TLV are:

   o  Type: indicates Fragmentation Option.  The Type value is to be
      asigned.

   o  Length: is a fixed value of 6 octets.

   o  Fragment Number: indicates the sequence number of the current
      fragment.

   o  L: is a flag to indicate whether the current fragment is the last
      one.  When 0 is set, the current fragment is not the last one,
      hence more fragments are expected.  When 1 is set, the current
      fragment is the last one.

3.4.  Data Encoding

   UDP-Notif message data can be encoded in GPB, CBOR, XML or JSON
   format.  It is conceivable that additional encodings may be supported
   in the future.  This can be accomplished by augmenting the
   subscription data model with additional identity statements used to
   refer to requested encodings.

   Implementation MAY support multiple encoding methods per
   subscription.  When bundled notifications are supported between the

   publisher and the receiver, only subscribed notifications with the
   same encoding can be bundled in a given message.

4.  Congestion Control

   Congestion control mechanisms that respond to congestion by reducing
   traffic rates and establish a degree of fairness between flows that
   share the same path are vital to the stable operation of the Internet
   [RFC2914].  While efficient, UDP has no built-in congestion control
   mechanism.  Because streaming telemetry can generate unlimited
   amounts of data, transferring this data over UDP may be considered
   problematic.  It is not recommended to use the proposed mechanism
   over congestion-sensitive network paths.  The only environments where
   UDP-Notif is expected to be used are managed networks.  The
   deployments require that the network path has been explicitly
   provisioned to handle the traffic through traffic engineering
   mechanisms, such as rate limiting or capacity reservations.  The UDP-
   Notif Message ID can be used to deduce congestion based on packet
   loss detection.  Hence the collector can notify the device to use a
   lower streaming rate.  The interaction to control the streaming rate
   on the device is out of the scope of this document.

5.  Applicability

   The target application for UDP-Notif is the collection of data-plane
   information.  The lack of reliability of the data streaming mechanism
   is thus considered acceptable as the mechanism is to be used in
   controlled environments, mitigating the risk of information loss,
   while allowing for publication of very large amounts of data.
   Moreover, in this context, sporadic events when incomplete data
   collection is provided is not critical for the proper management of
   the network.

6.  A YANG Data Model for Management of UDP-Notif

   The YANG model defined in Section 9 has two leafs augmented into one
   place of Sub-Notif [RFC8639], plus one identity.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This RFC requests that IANA assigns one UDP port number in the
   "Registered Port Numbers" range with the service name "udp-notif".
   This port will be the default port for the UDP-based notification
   Streaming Telemetry (UDP-Notif) for NETCONF and RESTCONF.  Below is
   the registration template following the rules of [RFC6335].

   Service Name: udp-notif

   Transport Protocol(s): UDP

   Assignee: IESG <iesg@ietf.org>

   Contact: IETF Chair <chair@ietf.org>

   Description: UDP-based Publication Streaming Telemetry

   Reference: RFC XXXX

   Port Number: PORT-X

   IANA is requested to assign a new URI from the IETF XML Registry
   [RFC3688].  The following URI is suggested:

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

   This document also requests a new YANG module name in the YANG Module
   Names registry [RFC7950] with the following suggestion:

   name: ietf-udp-notif
   namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-notif
   prefix: un
   reference: RFC XXXX

9.  Security Considerations

   TBD
