Generic YANG Data Model for Connectionless Operations, Administration, and Maintenance(OAM) protocols
draft-ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-09

Abstract

This document presents a base YANG Data model for connectionless Operations Administration, and Maintenance(OAM) protocols. It provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs for connectionless protocols. The base model presented here can be extended to include technology specific details. This is leading to uniformity between OAM protocols and support both nested OAM workflows (i.e., performing OAM functions at different or same levels through a unified interface).

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) are important networking functions that allow operators to:

  1. Monitor networks connections (Reachability Verification, Continuity Check).
  2. Troubleshoot failures (Fault verification and localization).
  3. Monitor Performance

An overview of OAM tools is presented at [RFC7276].

Ping and Traceroute [RFC792], [RFC4443] are well-known fault verification and isolation tools, respectively, for IP networks. Over the years, different technologies have developed similar tools for similar purposes.

The different OAM tools may support connection-oriented technologies or connectionless technologies. In connection-oriented technologies, a connection is established prior to the transmission of data. In connectionless technologies, data is typically sent between end points without prior arrangement [RFC7276]. Note that the Connection-Oriented OAM YANG DATA model is defined in [I-D.ietf-lime-yang-connection-oriented-oam-model].

In this document, we presents a base YANG Data model for connectionless OAM protocols. The generic YANG model for connectionless OAM only includes configuration data and state data. It can be used in conjunction with data retrieval method model [I-D.ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-methods], which focuses on data retrieval procedures like RPC. However it also can be used independently of data retrieval method model.

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in

2.1. Terminology

TP - Test Point

MAC - Media Access Control

BFD - Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

RPC - A Remote Procedure Call

RPC operation - A specific Remote Procedure Call.

CC - Continuity Check [RFC7276] , Continuity Checks are used to verify that a destination is reachable and therefore also referred to as reachability verification

3. Overview of the Connectionless OAM Model

The model is augmented to "/nd:networks/nd:network/nd:node" using 'test-point-locations' defined below. 'tp-tools' grouping defined in this model supports both proactive and on-demand activation.

At the top of the model, there is an 'cc-oper-data' container for session statistics. Grouping is also defined for common session statistics and these are only applicable for proactive OAM sessions.

Multiple 'test-point-locations' keyed using technology specific keys (eg., IPv4 address for IPv4 locations) are augmented into network nodes which are defined in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo] to describe the network hierarchies and the inventory of nodes contained in a network. Each test point location under 'test-point-locations 'grouping is chosen based on 'tp-location-type' leaf which when chosen, leads to a container that includes a list of 'test-point-locations' keyed by technology specific keys(e.g., 'ipv4-location'leaf). Each test point location under 'test-point-locations 'grouping includes a 'test-point-location-info' grouping. The 'test-point-location-info' grouping includes 'tp-technology' grouping, 'tp-tools' grouping, and 'connectionless-oam-layers' grouping. The groupings of 'tp-address' and 'tp-address-ni' are kept out of 'test-point-location-info' grouping to make it addressing agnostic and allow varied composition. Depending upon the choice of the 'tp-location-type' (determined by the 'tp-address-ni'), the containers differ in its composition of 'test- point-locations' while the 'test-point-location-info', is a common aspect of every 'test-point-location'. The 'tp-address-ni' grouping is used to describe the corresponding network instance. The 'tp-technology'grouping indicate OAM technology details. The 'tp-tools' grouping describe the OAM tools supported. The 'connectionless-oam-layers' grouping is used to describe the relationship of one test point with other test points. The 'technology-level' in 'oam-neighboring-layers'indicate relative technology level of neighboring test point corresponding to the current test point.

3.1. TP Address

In connectionless OAM, the TP address is defined with the following type:

To define a forwarding treatment of a test packet, the 'tp-address'grouping needs to be associated with additional parameters, e.g. DSCP for IP or EXP for MPLS. In generic connectionless OAM YANG model, these parameters are not explicit configured. The model user can add corresponding parameters according to their requirements.

3.2. Tools

The different OAM tools may be used in one of two basic types of activation: proactive and on-demand. The proactive OAM refers to OAM actions which are carried out continuously to permit proactive reporting of fault. The proactive OAM method requires persistent configuration. The on-demand OAM refers to OAM actions which are initiated via manual intervention for a limited time to carry out diagnostics. The on-demand OAM method requires only transient configuration.[RFC7276] [G.8013]. In connectionless OAM, 'session-type' grouping is defined to indicate which kind of activation will be used by the current session.

In connectionless OAM, the tools attribute is used to describe a toolset for fault detection and isolation. And it can serve as a constraint condition when the base model be extended to specific OAM technology. For example, to fulfill the ICMP PING configuration, the "../coam:continuity-check" leaf should be set to "true", and then the lime base model should be augmented with ICMP PING specific details.

3.3. OAM neighboring layers

As typical networks have a multi-layer architecture, the set of OAM protocols similarly take a multi-layer structure; each layer may has its own OAM protocol [RFC7276] and is corresponding to specific administrative domain and has associated test points. OAM-neighboring-layers is referred to a list of neighboring test points in the upstream layer and/or downstream layer and the same layer that are related to current test point. This allows users to easily navigate between related neighboring layer to efficiently troubleshoot a defect. In this model, we have kept level default as 0, when a list of neighboring test points under 'oam-neighboring-layers' list are located at the same layer as the current test point. 'Technology-Level'leaf defines the relative technology level of neighboring test point corresponding to the current test point in multi-layer and multi-technology networks , and is provided to allow correlation of faults at different administrative and technology layers . If there is one neighboring test point at higher layer of the current test point, 'Technology-level'leaf is set to 1. If there is one neighboring test point at lower layer of the current test point, 'Technology-level'leaf is set to -1.

        
                list oam-neighboring-layers {
                  key "index";
                  leaf index {
                     type uint8 {
                        range "0..128";
                     }
                    description
                     "Index of a list of neighboring test points
                      in the upstream layer and/or downstream layer
                      and/or same layer ";
                  }
                  leaf technology-level {
                      type int8 {
                           range "-1..1";
                      }
                      description
                        "The relative technology level 
                        of neighboring test point 
                        corresponding to the current 
                        test point";
                  }
 
                  description
                     "List of related neighboring test points at upstream layer
                      and or downstream layer or at the same layer.";

              }
             

3.4. Test Point Locations Information

This is a generic grouping for Test Point Locations Information (i.e., test-point-location-info grouping). It Provide details of Test Point Location using 'tp-technology','tp-tool'grouping, 'OAM-neighboring Layers' grouping defined above.

3.5. Test Point Locations

This is a generic grouping for Test Point Locations. 'tp-location-type 'leaf is used to define locations types, for example 'ipv4- location-type', 'ipv6-location-type', etc. Container is defined under each location type containing list keyed to test point address, Test Point Location Information defined in section above, and network instance name(e.g.,VRF instance name) if required.

3.6. Path Discovery Data

This is a generic grouping for path discovery data model that can be retrieved by any data retrieval methods including RPC operations. Path discovery data output from methods, includes 'src-test-point' container, 'dst- test-point' container, 'sequence-number'leaf, 'hop-cnt'leaf, session statistics of various kinds, path verification and path trace related information. Path discovery includes data to be retrieved on a 'per- hop' basis via a list of 'path-trace-info-list'list which includes information like 'timestamp'grouping, ' ingress-intf-name ', ' egress-intf-name ' and 'app-meta-data'. The path discovery data model is made generic enough to allow different methods of data retrieval. None of the fields are made mandatory for that reason. Noted that the retrieval methods are defined in [I-D.ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-methods].

3.7. Continuity Check Data

This is a generic grouping for continuity check data model that can be retrieved by any data retrieval methods including RPC operations. Continuity check data output from methods, includes 'src-test-point'container, 'dst-test-point'container, 'sequence-number' leaf, 'hop-cnt'leaf and session statistics of various kinds. The continuity check data model is made generic enough to allow different methods of data retrieval. None of the fields are made mandatory for that reason. Noted that the retrieval methods are defined in [I-D.ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-methods].

5. Connectionless model applicability

"ietf-connectionless-oam" model defined in this document provides technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs for connectionless protocols. This model can be further extended to include technology specific details, e.g., adding new data nodes with technology specific functions and parameters into proper anchor points of the base model, so as to develop a technology-specific connectionless OAM model.

This section demonstrates the usability of the connectionless YANG OAM data model to various connectionless OAM technologies, e.g., BFD, LSP ping. Note that, in this section, we only present several snippets of technology-specific model extensions for illustrative purposes. The complete model extensions should be worked on in respective protocol working groups.

5.1. BFD Extension

5.1.1. Augment Method

The following sections shows how the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can be extended to cover BFD technology. For this purpose, a set of extension are introduced such as technology-type extension and test-point attributes extension.

Note that in BFD WG, there is a BFD YANG data model [I-D.ietf-bfd-yang] to be produced. Users can choose to use "ietf-connectioless-oam" as basis and augment the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model with bfd specific details. The bfd specific details can be the grouping defined in the BFD model.

5.1.1.1. Technology type extension

No BFD technology type has been defined in the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model. Therefore a technology type extension is required in the model Extension.

The snippet below depicts an example of augmenting "bfd" type into the ietf-connectionless-oam":

augment "/nd:networks/nd:network/nd:node/"
+"coam:location-type/coam:ipv4-location-type"
+"/coam:test-point-ipv4-location-list/"
+"coam:test-point-locations/coam:technology"
{
    leaf bfd{
   type string;
  }
}

5.1.1.2. Test point attributes extension

To support bfd technology, the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can be extended and add bfd specific parameters under "test-point-location" list and/or add new location type such as "bfd over MPLS-TE" under "location-type".

5.1.1.2.1. Define and insert new nodes into corresponding test-point-location

In the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model, multiple "test-point-location" lists are defined under the "location-type" choice node. Therefore, to derive a model for some bfd technologies ( such as ip single-hop, ip multi-hops, etc), data nodes for bfd specific details need to be added into corresponding "test-point-locations" list. In this section, we reuse some groupings which are defined in [I-D.ietf-bfd-yang] as following:

The snippet below shows how the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can be extended to support "BFD IP single-hop":

augment "/nd:networks/nd:network/nd:node/"
+"coam:location-type/coam:ipv4-location-type"
+"/coam:test-point-ipv4-location-list/"
        +"coam:test-point-locations"
{
        container session-cfg {
          description "BFD IP single-hop session configuration";
          list sessions {
            key "interface dest-addr";
            description "List of IP single-hop sessions";
            leaf interface {
              type if:interface-ref;
              description
                "Interface on which the BFD session is running.";
            }
            leaf dest-addr {
              type inet:ip-address;
              description "IP address of the peer";
            }
            uses bfd:bfd-grouping-common-cfg-parms;
            uses bfd:bfd-grouping-echo-cfg-parms;
          }
        }
}

Similar augmentations can be defined to support other BFD technologies such as BFD IP multi-hop, BFD over MPLS, etc.

5.1.1.2.2. Add new location-type cases

In the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model, If there is no appropriate "location type" case that can be extended, a new "location-type" case can be defined and inserted into the "location-type" choice node.

Therefore, the model user can flexibly add "location-type" to support other type of test point which are not defined in the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model. In this section, we add a new "location-type" case and reuse some groupings which are defined in [I-D.ietf-bfd-yang] as follows:

The snippet below shows how the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can be extended to support "BFD over MPLS-TE":

augment "/nd:networks/nd:network/nd:node/coam:location-type"{
 case te-location{
  list test-point-location-list{
   key "tunnel-name";
   leaf tunnel-name{
    type leafref{
 path "/te:te/te:tunnels/te:tunnel/te:name";
}
description
"point to a te instance.";
   }
    uses bfd:bfd-grouping-common-cfg-parms;
        uses bfd-mpls:bfd-encap-cfg;
  }
 }
}

Similar augmentations can be defined to support other BFD technologies such as BFD over LAG, etc.

5.1.2. Schema Mount

And another alternative method is using schema mount mechanism [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] in the "ietf-connectionless-oam". Within the "test-point-location" list, a "root" attribute is defined to provide a mounted point for models mounted per "test-point-location". Therefore, the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can provide a place in the node hierarchy where other OAM YANG data models can be attached, without any special extension in the "ietf-connectionless-oam" YANG data models [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount]. Note that the limitation of the Schema Mount method is it is not allowed to specify certain modules that are required to be mounted under a mount point.

The snippet below depicts the definition of "root" attribute.

      anydata root {
       yangmnt:mount-point root;
       description 
      "Root for models supported per
        test point";
      } 

The following section shows how the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can use schema mount to support BFD technology.

5.1.2.1. BFD Modules be populated in schema-mount

To support BFD technology, "ietf-bfd-ip-sh" and "ietf-bfd-ip-mh" YANG modules might be populated in the "schema-mounts" container:

   <schema-mounts
       xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-schema-mount">
     <mount-point>
       <module> ietf-connectionless-oam </module>
       <name>root</name>
       <use-schema>
         <name>root</name>
       </use-schema>
     </mount-point>
     <schema>
       <name>root</name>
       <module>
         <name>ietf-bfd-ip-sh </name>
         <revision>2016-07-04</revision>
         <namespace>
           urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-bfd-ip-sh
         </namespace>
         <conformance-type>implement</conformance-type>
       </module>
       <module>
         <name>ietf-bfd-ip-mh </name>
         <revision> 2016-07-04</revision>
         <namespace>
           urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-bfd-ip-mh
         </namespace>
         <conformance-type>implement</conformance-type>
       </module>
     </schema>
   </schema-mounts>

and the " ietf-connectionless-oam " module might have:

<ietf-connectionless-oam 
uri="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-connectionless-oam">
   ......
 <test-point-locations>
  <ipv4-location>192.0.2.1</ipv4-location>
   ......
  <root>
   <ietf-bfd-ip-sh uri="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-bfd-ip-sh">
    <ip-sh>
     foo
     ......
    </ip-sh>
   </ietf-bfd-ip-sh>
   <ietf-bfd-ip-mh uri="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-bfd-ip-mh">
    <ip-mh>
     foo
     ......
    </ip-mh>
   </ietf-bfd-ip-mh>
  </root>
 </test-point-locations> 
</ietf-connectionless-oam> 

5.2. LSP ping extension

5.2.1. Augment Method

The following sections shows how the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can be extended to support LSP ping technology. For this purpose, a set of extension are introduced such as technology-type extension and test-point attributes extension.

Note that in MPLS WG, there is a LSP Ping YANG data model [I-D.zheng-mpls-lsp-ping-yang-cfg] to be produced. Users can choose to use "ietf-connectioless-oam" as basis and augment the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model with LSP Ping specific details in the model extension. The LSP Ping specific details can be the grouping defined in the LSP ping model.

5.2.1.1. Technology type extension

No lsp-ping technology type has been defined in the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model. Therefore a technology type extension is required in the model extension.

The snippet below depicts an example of augmenting the "ietf-connectionless-oam" with "lsp-ping" type:

augment "/nd:networks/nd:network/nd:node/"
+"coam:location-type/coam:ipv4-location-type"
+"/coam:test-point-ipv4-location-list/"
        +"coam:test-point-locations/coam:technology"
{
   leaf lsp-ping{
   type string;
  }
}

5.2.1.2. Test point attributes extension

To support lsp-ping, the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can be extended and add lsp-ping specific parameters can be defined and under "test-point-location" list.

User can reuse the attributes or groupings which are defined in [I-D.zheng-mpls-lsp-ping-yang-cfg] as follows:

The snippet below depicts an example of augmenting the "test-point-locations" list with lsp ping attributes:

augment "/nd:networks/nd:network/nd:node/"
+"coam:location-type/coam:ipv4-location-type"
+"/coam:test-point-ipv4-location-list/"
        +"coam:test-point-locations"
{ 
list lsp-ping {
         key "lsp-ping-name";
         leaf lsp-ping-name {
          type string {
            length "1..31";
         }
        mandatory "true";
        description "LSP Ping test name.";
        ......
      }

5.2.2. Schema Mount

And another alternative method is using schema mount mechanism [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] in the "ietf-connectionless-oam". Within the "test-point-location" list, a "root" attribute is defined to provide a mounted point for models mounted per "test-point-location". Therefore, the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can provide a place in the node hierarchy where other OAM YANG data models can be attached, without any special extension in the "ietf-connectionless-oam" YANG data models [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount]. Note that the limitation of the Schema Mount method is it is not allowed to specify certain modules that are required to be mounted under a mount point.

The snippet below depicts the definition of "root" attribute.

      anydata root {
       yangmnt:mount-point root;
       description 
      "Root for models supported per
        test point";
      } 

The following section shows how the "ietf-connectionless-oam" model can use schema mount to support LSP-PING technology.

5.2.2.1. LSP-PING Modules be populated in schema-mount

To support LSP-PING technology, "ietf-lspping" YANG module [I-D.zheng-mpls-lsp-ping-yang-cfg] might be populated in the "schema-mounts" container:

   <schema-mounts
       xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-schema-mount">
     <mount-point>
       <module> ietf-connectionless-oam </module>
       <name>root</name>
       <use-schema>
         <name>root</name>
       </use-schema>
     </mount-point>
     <schema>
       <name>root</name>
       <module>
         <name>ietf-lspping </name>
         <revision>2016-03-18</revision>
         <namespace>
           urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang: ietf-lspping
         </namespace>
         <conformance-type>implement</conformance-type>
       </module>
     </schema>
   </schema-mounts>

and the " ietf-connectionless-oam " module might have:

<ietf-connectionless-oam 
uri="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-connectionless-oam">
   ......
 <test-point-locations>
  <ipv4-location> 192.0.2.1</ipv4-location>
   ......
  <root>
   <ietf-lspping uri="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-lspping">
    <lsp-pings>
     foo
     ......
    </lsp-pings>
   </ietf-lspping>
  </root>
 </test-point-locations> 
</ietf-connectionless-oam> 

6. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this document 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 [RFC5246].

The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] 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.

The vulnerable "config true" subtrees and data nodes are the following:

Unauthorized access to any of these lists can adversely affect OAM management system handling of end-to-end OAM and coordination of OAM within underlying network layers. This may lead to inconsistent configuration, reporting, and presentation for the OAM mechanisms used to manage the network.

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:
