1. Introduction

This document defines a data model for Large-Scale Measurement Platforms (LMAP) [RFC7594]. The data model is defined using the YANG [RFC7950] data modeling language. It is based on the LMAP Information Model [I-D.ietf-lmap-information-model].

1.1. Terminology

This document uses the LMAP terminology defined in [RFC7594].

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

1.2. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows:

2. Data Model Overview

The LMAP framework has three basic elements: Measurement Agents, Controllers, and Collectors. Measurement Agents initiate the actual measurements, which are called Measurement Tasks in the LMAP terminology. The Controller instructs one or more MAs and communicates the set of Measurement Tasks an MA should perform and when. The Collector accepts Reports from the MAs with the Results from their Measurement Tasks.

The YANG data model for LMAP has been split into three modules:

  1. The module ietf-lmap-common.yang provides common definitions such as LMAP specific data types.
  2. The module ietf-lmap-control.yang defines the data structures exchanged between a Controller and Measurement Agents.
  3. The module ietf-lmap-report.yang defines the data structures exchanged between Measurement Agents and Collectors.

As shown in Figure 1, a Controller, implementing ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-control.yang as a client, will instruct Measurement Agents, which implement ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-control.yang as servers. A Measurement Agent, implementing ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-report.yang, will send results to a Collector, which implements ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-report.yang as a server.

3. Relationship to the Information Model

The LMAP information model [I-D.ietf-lmap-information-model] is divided into six aspects. They are mapped into the YANG data model as explained below:

These six information model aspects use a collection of common information objects. These common information objects are represented in the YANG data model as follows:

5. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory to implement secure transport is 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 pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module which 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. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

/lmap/agent
This subtree configures general properties of the measurement agent such as its identity, its measurement point or controller timeout. This subtree should only have write access for the system responsible to configure the measurement agent.
/lmap/tasks
This subtree configures the tasks that can be invoked by a controller. This subtree should only have write access for the system responsible to configure the measurement agent. Care must be taken to not expose tasks to a controller that can cause damage to the system or the network.
/lmap/schedules
This subtree is used by a controller to define the schedules and actions that are executed when certain events occur. Unauthorized access can cause unwanted load on the device or network or it might direct measurement traffic to targets that become victims of an attack.
/lmap/suppressions
This subtree is used by a controller to define suppressions that can temporarily disable the execution of schedules or actions. Unauthorized access can either disable measurements that should normally take place or it can cause measurements to take place during times when normally no measurements should take place.
/lmap/events
This subtree is used by a controller to define events that trigger the execution of schedules and actions. Unauthorized access can either disable measurements that should normally take place or it can cause measurements to take place during times when normally no measurements should take place or at frequency that is higher than normally expected.

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:

/lmap/agent
This subtree provides information about the measurement agent. This information may be used to select specific targets for attacks.
/lmap/capabilities
This subtree provides information about the capabilities of the measurement agent, including its software version number and the tasks that it supports. This information may be used to execute targeted attacks against specific implementations.
/lmap/schedules
This subtree provides information about the schedules and their associated actions executed on the measurement agent. This information may be used to check whether attacks against the implementation are effective.
/lmap/suppressions
This subtree provides information about the suppressions that can be active on the measurement agent. This information may be used to predict time periods where measurements take place (or do not take place).

Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

/report
The report operation is used to send locally collected measurement results to a remote collector. Unauthorized access may leak measurement results, including from passive measurements.

The data model uses a number of identifiers that are set by the controller. Implementors may find these identifiers useful for the identification of resources, e.g., to identify objects in a filesystem providing temporary storage. Since the identifiers used by the YANG data model may allow characters that may be given special interpretation in a specific context, implementations must ensure that identifiers are properly mapped into safe identifiers.

The data model allows to specify options in the form of name value pairs that are passed to programs. Implementers ought to take care that option names and values are passed literally to programs. In particular, shell expansions that may alter option names and values must not be performed.

6. IANA Considerations

This document registers three 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-lmap-common
      Registrant Contact: The IESG.
      XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

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

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

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

Appendix A. Example Parameter Extension Module

Sometimes tasks may require complicated parameters that cannot easily be fit into options, i.e., a list of name/value pairs. In such a situation, it is possible to augment the ietf-lmap-control.yang and ietf-lmap-report.yang data models with definitions for more complex parameters. The following example module demontrates this idea using the parameters of UDP latency metrics as an example (although UDP latency metric parameters do not really need such an extension module).

  namespace "urn:example:ietf-ippm-udp-latency";

  }
  import ietf-lmap-report {
    prefix "lmapr";
  }

    leaf src-ip {
      type inet:ip-address;
      description
        "The source IP address of the UDP measurement traffic.";
    }

    leaf src-port {
      type inet:port-number;
      description
        "The source port number of the UDP measurement traffic.";
