TEAS Working Group D. Dhody Internet-Draft B. Wu Intended status: Standards Track Huawei Technologies Expires: 12 January 2023 11 July 2022 IETF Network Slice Service Mapping YANG Model draft-dhody-teas-ietf-network-slice-mapping-01 Abstract This document provides a YANG data model to map IETF network slice service to Traffic Engineering (TE) models (e.g., the Virtual Network (VN) model or the TE Tunnel etc). It also supports mapping to the VPN Network models and Network Resource Partition (NRP) models. These models are referred to as IETF network slice service mapping model and are applicable generically for the seamless control and management of the IETF network slice service with underlying TE/VPN support. The models are principally used for monitoring and diagnostics of the management systems to show how the IETF network slice service requests are mapped onto underlying network resource and TE/VPN models.

Introduction Data models are a representation of objects that can be configured or monitored within a system. Within the IETF, YANG [RFC7950] is the language of choice for documenting data models, and YANG models have been produced to allow configuration or modeling of a variety of network devices, protocol instances, and network services. The YANG model discussed in this document augments the IETF Network Slice Service YANG model [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], which is used to operate IETF Network Slices during the IETF Network Slice instantiation. This provides a way to map IETF network slice service to Traffic Engineering (TE) models (e.g., the Virtual Network (VN) model or the TE Tunnel etc). Alternatively, it also supports mapping to the VPN Network models and Network Resource Partition (NRP) models. The model supports: Dhody & Wu Expires 12 January 2023 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Slice-Mapping July 2022 * A mapping of the IETF Network Slice with the Network Resource Partition (NRP). As per [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], NRP is a collection of resources (bufferage, queuing, scheduling, etc.) in the underlay network. The NRP YANG model is specified in [I-D.wd-teas-nrp-yang]. The IETF Network Slice can be mapped to the NRP directly. * A mapping of the IETF Network Slice with the VPN network models - LxNM. This mapping can be populated at the time of IETF network service realization. This mapping information is internal and used for monitoring and diagnostics purpose such as telemetry, auto-scaling, closed-loop automation. Note that the LxNM may further map to other TE resources as specified in [I-D.ietf-teas-te-service-mapping-yang]. Optionally, a mapping to the NRP can also be populated. * A mapping of the IETF Network Slice with the underlying TE resources directly. The TE resources could be in a form of VN, set of TE tunnels, TE abstract topology etc. This mapping can be populated by the network at the time of realization of the IETF network slice service. It is also possible to configure the mapping provided one is aware of NRP/VN/tunnels. This mapping mode is used only when the there is an awareness of VN or TE by the consumer of the model. Otherwise this mapping information is internal and used for monitoring and diagnostics purpose such as telemetry, auto-scaling, closed-loop automation. * Possibility to request creation of a new VN/Tunnel to be binded to IETF network slice. * Indication to share the VN/Tunnel sharing (with or without modification) for the IETF network slice. * Support for configuration of underlying TE properties (as opposed to existing VN or tunnels). Note: The RFC Editor will replace XXXX with the number assigned to the RFC once this draft becomes an RFC. 2. Conventions 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. Dhody & Wu Expires 12 January 2023 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Slice-Mapping July 2022 2.1. Tree Diagrams A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340]. 2.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names In this document, names of data nodes 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. +========+==========+=============================================+ | Prefix | YANG | Reference | | | module | | +========+==========+=============================================+ | nw | ietf- | [RFC8345] | | | network | | +--------+----------+---------------------------------------------+ | tsmt | ietf-te- | [I-D.ietf-teas-te-service-mapping-yang] | | | service- | | | | mapping- | | | | types | | +--------+----------+---------------------------------------------+ | l3vpn- | ietf- | [RFC9182] | | ntw | l3vpn- | | | | ntw | | +--------+----------+---------------------------------------------+ | l2vpn- | ietf- | [I-D.ietf-opsawg-l2nm] | | ntw | l2vpn- | | | | ntw | | +--------+----------+---------------------------------------------+ | ietf- | ietf- | [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang] | | ns | network- | | | | slice | | +--------+----------+---------------------------------------------+ | nrp | ietf-nrp | [I-D.wd-teas-nrp-yang] | +--------+----------+---------------------------------------------+ Table 1 2.3.

Model Design The YANG model specified in this document augments the IETF network slice service YANG model [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang]. Currently following mapping are supported: * L3NM: The L3 network model (L3NM) describes a L3VPN Service in the Service Provider Network. It contains information of the Service Provider network and might include allocated resources. It can be used by network controllers to manage and control the L3VPN Service configuration in the Service Provider network. This model maps an IETF network slice to a L3VPN ID. * L2NM: The L2 network model (L2NM) describes a L2VPN Service in the Service Provider Network. It contains information of the Service Provider network and might include allocated resources. It can be used by network controllers to manage and control the L2VPN Service configuration in the Service Provider network. This model maps an IETF network slice to a L2VPN ID. * TE: The TE mapping is specified in [I-D.ietf-teas-te-service-mapping-yang]. The mapping can be done to the following TE resouces: - Virtual Networks (VN) [RFC8453] - TE-Tunnels - TE-Topology * NRP: [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] defines IETF network slice services that provide connectivity coupled with network resources commitment between a number of endpoints over a shared network infrastructure and, for scalability concerns, defines NRP to host one or a group of network slice services according to characteristics including SLOs and SLEs. Along with mapping to VPN, this model maps an IETF network slice to a NRP ID. Dhody & Wu Expires 12 January 2023 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Slice-Mapping July 2022 3.1. Open Questions The following open questions needs to be addressed in a future revision: * Is there a need/use-case to map IETF Network slice Connection Group and/or Connectivity Construct as well? * Is there a need/use-case to map IETF Network slice Endpoints? * Is there a need to indicate "map-type" (new, share) for NRP and VPNs? 4.
