Introduction This document describes a YANG data model for Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) with Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) networks. This document also defines a collection of common data types and groupings in YANG data modeling language for MPLS-TE networks. These derived common types and groupings are intended to be imported by the MPLS-TE topology model, defined in this document, as well as by the MPLS-TE tunnel model, defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-mpls]. Multi-Protocol Label Switching - Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a profile of the MPLS protocol that is used in packet switched transport networks and operated in a similar manner to other existing transport technologies (e.g., OTN), as described in [RFC5921]. The YANG model defined in this document can also be for MPLS-TP networks. 1.1. Tree Diagram A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in Section 5.1 of this this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340]. Busi, et al. Expires January 13, 2022 [Page 2] Internet-Draft MPLS-TE Topology YANG Model July 2021 1.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG imported modules, as shown in Table 1. +--------------+----------------------+-----------------------------+ | Prefix | YANG module | Reference | +--------------+----------------------+-----------------------------+ | rt-types | ietf-routing-types | [RFC8294] | | | | | | tet | ietf-te-topology | [RFC8795] | | | | | | tet-pkt | ietf-te-topology- | [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-l3-te-t | | | packet | opo] | | | | | | te-packet- | ietf-te-packet-types | [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-l3-te-t | | types | | opo] | | | | | | mte-types | ietf-mpls-te-types | This document | | | | | | tet-mpls | ietf-te-mpls- | This document | | | topology | | +--------------+----------------------+-----------------------------+ Table 1: Prefixes and corresponding YANG modules 2. MPLS-TE Types Overview The module ietf-mpls-te-types contains the following YANG types and groupings which can be reused by MPLS-TE YANG models: load-balancing-type This identify defines the types of load- balancing algorithms used on bundled MPLS-TE link. te-mpls-label-hop This grouping is used for the augmentation of TE label for MPLS-TE path. 3. MPLS-TE Topology Model Overview The MPLS-TE technology specific topology model augments the ietf-te- topology-packet YANG module, defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-l3-te-topo], which in turns augment the generic ietf-te-topology YANG module, defined in [RFC8795], as shown in Figure 1. Busi, et al. Expires January 13, 2022 [Page 3] Internet-Draft MPLS-TE Topology YANG Model July 2021 +------------------+ o: augment TE generic | ietf-te-topology | +------------------+ o | | | +-------------------------+ Packet TE | ietf-te-topology-packet | +-------------------------+ o | | | +-----------------------+ MPLS-TE | ietf-te-mpls-topology | +-----------------------+ Figure 1: Relationship between MPLS-TE, Packet-TE and TE topology models Given the guidance for augmentation in [RFC8795], the following technology-specific augmentations need to be provided: o A network-type to indicate that the TE topology is an MPLS-TE Topology, as follow: augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types/tet:te-topology /tet-pkt:packet: +--rw mpls-topology! o TE Label Augmentations as described in Section 3.1. Note: TE Bandwidth Augmentations for paths, LSPs and links are provided by the ietf-te-topology-packet module, defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-l3-te-topo]. 3.1. TE Label Augmentations In MPLS-TE, the label allocation is done by NE, information about label values availability is not necessary to be provided to the controller. Moreover, MPLS-TE tunnels are currently established within a single domain. Therefore this document does not define any MPLS-TE technology- specific augmentations, of the TE Topology model, for the TE label since no TE label related attributes should be instantiated for MPLS- TE Topologies. Busi, et al. Expires January 13, 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft MPLS-TE Topology YANG Model July 2021 Open issue: shall this module allows the setup of MPLS-TE multi- domain tunnels? 3.2. MPLS-TP Topology Multi-Protocol Label Switching - Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a profile of the MPLS protocol that is used in packet switched transport networks and operated in a similar manner to other existing transport technologies (e.g., OTN), as described in [RFC5921]. Therefore YANG model defined in this document can also be applicable for MPLS-TP networks. However, as described in [RFC5921], MPLS-TP networks support bidirectional LSPs and require no ECMP and no PHP. When reporting the topology for an MPLS-TP network, additional information is required to indicate whether the network support these MPLS-TP characteristics. It is worth noting that [RFC8795] is already capable to model TE topologies supporting either unidirectional or bidirectional LSPs: all bidirectional TE links can support bidirectional LSPs and all the links can support unidirectional LSPs and it is always possible to associated unidirectional LSPs as long as they belong to the same tunnel. When setting up bidirectional LSPs (e.g., MPLS-TP LSPs) only bidirectional TE Links are selected by path computation. In order to allow reporting that ECMP is not affecting forwarding the packets of a given LSP, the load-balancing-type attribute reports whether a LAG or TE Bundled Link performs load-balancing on a per- flow or per-top-label: augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nt:link/tet:te: +--rw load-balancing-type? mte-types:load-balancing-type When setting up LSPs which do not requires ECMP (e.g., MPLS-TP LSPs) only Links that are not part of a LAG or TE Bundle or that performs per-top-label load balancing are selected by path computation. It is assumed that almost all the MPLS-TE nodes are capable to support Ultimate Hop Popping (UHP). However, if some interfaces are not able to support UHP, they can report it in the MPLS-TE topology: augment /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node/nt:termination-point /tet:te: +--ro uhp-incapable? empty Busi, et al. Expires January 13, 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft MPLS-TE Topology YANG Model July 2021 When setting up LSPs which do not requires PHP (e.g., MPLS-TP LSPs) only the interfaces (LTPs) which are capable to support UHP in the destination node are selected by path computation. 4.
