A YANG Data Model for Network Address Translation (NAT) and Network Prefix Translation (NPT)
draft-ietf-opsawg-nat-yang-07

Abstract

For the sake of network automation and the need for programming Network Address Translation (NAT) function in particular, a data model for configuring and managing the NAT is essential. This document defines a YANG module for the NAT function.

NAT44, Network Address and Protocol Translation from IPv6 Clients to IPv4 Servers (NAT64), Customer-side transLATor (CLAT), Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation (SIIT EAM), and IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) are covered in this document.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines a data model for Network Address Translation (NAT) and Network Prefix Translation (NPT) capabilities using the YANG data modeling language [RFC7950].

Traditional NAT is defined in [RFC2663], while Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) is defined in [RFC6888]. Unlike traditional NAT, the CGN is used to optimize the usage of global IP address space at the scale of a domain: a CGN is not managed by end users, but by service providers instead. This document covers both traditional NATs and CGNs.

This document also covers NAT64 [RFC6146], customer-side translator (CLAT) [RFC6877], Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation (EAM) [RFC7757], and IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) [RFC6296]. The full set of translation schemes that are in scope is included in Section 2.2.

Sample examples are provided in Appendix A. These examples are not intended to be exhaustive.

1.1. Terminology

This document makes use of the following terms:

The usage of the term NAT in this document refers to any NAT flavor (NAT44, NAT64, etc.) indifferently.

This document uses the term "session" as defined in [RFC2663] and [RFC6146] for NAT64.

1.2. Tree Diagrams

The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows:

2. Overview of the NAT YANG Data Model

2.1. Overview

The NAT YANG module is designed to cover dynamic implicit mappings and static explicit mappings. The required functionality to instruct dynamic explicit mappings is defined in separate documents such as [I-D.boucadair-pcp-yang]. Considerations about instructing explicit dynamic means (e.g., [RFC6887], [RFC6736], or [RFC8045]) are out of scope.

A single NAT device can have multiple NAT instances; each of these instances can be provided with its own policies (e.g., be responsible for serving a group of hosts). This document does not make any assumption about how internal hosts or flows are associated with a given NAT instance.

The NAT YANG module assumes that each NAT instance can be enabled/disabled, be provisioned with a specific set of configuration data, and maintains its own mapping tables.

Further, the NAT YANG module allows for a NAT instance to be provided with multiple NAT policies (policy). The document does not make any assumption about how flows are associated with a given NAT policy of a given NAT instance. Classification filters are out of scope.

Defining multiple NAT instances or configuring multiple NAT policies within one single NAT instance is implementation- and deployment-specific.

To accommodate deployments where [RFC6302] is not enabled, this YANG module allows to instruct a NAT function to log the destination port number. The reader may refer to [I-D.ietf-behave-ipfix-nat-logging] which provides the templates to log the destination ports.

2.2. Various NAT Flavors

The following modes are supported:

  1. Basic NAT44
  2. NAPT
  3. Destination NAT
  4. Port-restricted NAT
  5. Stateful and stateless NAT64
  6. EAM SIIT
  7. CLAT
  8. NPTv6
  9. Combination of Basic NAT/NAPT and Destination NAT
  10. Combination of port-restricted and Destination NAT
  11. Combination of NAT64 and EAM

[I-D.ietf-softwire-dslite-yang] specifies an extension to support DS-Lite.

2.3. TCP, UDP and ICMP NAT Behavioral Requirements

This document assumes [RFC4787][RFC5382][RFC5508] are enabled by default.

Furthermore, the NAT YANG module relies upon the recommendations detailed in [RFC6888] and [RFC7857].

2.4. Other Transport Protocols

The module is structured to support other protocols than UDP, TCP, and ICMP. The mapping table is designed so that it can indicate any transport protocol. For example, this module may be used to manage a DCCP-capable NAT that adheres to [RFC5597].

Future extensions can be defined to cover NAT-related considerations that are specific to other transport protocols such as SCTP [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-natsupp]. Typically, the mapping entry can be extended to record two optional SCTP-specific parameters: Internal Verification Tag (Int-VTag) and External Verification Tag (Ext-VTag).

2.5. IP Addresses Used for Translation

The NAT YANG module assumes that blocks of IP external addresses (external-ip-address-pool) can be provisioned to the NAT function. These blocks may be contiguous or not.

This behavior is aligned with [RFC6888] which specifies that a NAT function should not have any limitations on the size or the contiguity of the external address pool. In particular, the NAT function must be configurable with contiguous or non-contiguous external IPv4 address ranges.

Likewise, one or multiple IP address pools may be configured for Destination NAT (dst-ip-address-pool).

2.6. Port Set Assignment

Port numbers can be assigned by a NAT individually (that is, a single port is a assigned on a per session basis). Nevertheless, this port allocation scheme may not be optimal for logging purposes. Therefore, a NAT function should be able to assign port sets (e.g., [RFC7753]) to optimize the volume of the logging data (REQ-14 of [RFC6888]). Both features are supported in the NAT YANG module.

When port set assignment is activated (i.e., port-allocation-type==port-range-allocation), the NAT can be provided with the size of the port set to be assigned (port-set-size).

2.7. Port-Restricted IP Addresses

Some NATs require to restrict the port numbers (e.g., Lightweight 4over6 [RFC7596], MAP-E [RFC7597]). Two schemes of port set assignments (port-set-restrict) are supported in this document:

2.8. NAT Mapping Entries

A TCP/UDP mapping entry maintains an association between the following information:

An ICMP mapping entry maintains an association between the following information:

To cover TCP, UDP, and ICMP, the NAT YANG module assumes the following structure of a mapping entry:

type:
Indicates how the mapping was instantiated. For example, it may indicate whether a mapping is dynamically instantiated by a packet or statically configured.
transport-protocol:
Indicates the transport protocol (e.g., UDP, TCP, ICMP) of a given mapping.
internal-src-address:
Indicates the source IP address as used by an internal host.
internal-src-port:
Indicates the source port number (or ICMP identifier) as used by an internal host.
external-src-address:
Indicates the source IP address as assigned by the NAT.
external-src-port:
Indicates the source port number (or ICMP identifier) as assigned by the NAT.
internal-dst-address:
Indicates the destination IP address as used by an internal host when sending a packet to a remote host.
internal-dst-port:
Indicates the destination IP address as used by an internal host when sending a packet to a remote host.
external-dst-address:
Indicates the destination IP address used by a NAT when processing a packet issued by an internal host towards a remote host.
external-dst-port:
Indicates the destination port number used by a NAT when processing a packet issued by an internal host towards a remote host.

In order to cover both NAT64 and NAT44 flavors in particular, the NAT mapping structure allows to include an IPv4 or an IPv6 address as an internal IP address. Remaining fields are common to both NAT schemes.

For example, the mapping that will be created by a NAT64 upon receipt of a TCP SYN from source address 2001:db8:aaaa::1 and source port number 25636 to destination IP address 2001:db8:1234::198.51.100.1 and destination port number 8080 is characterized as follows:

The mapping that will be created by a NAT44 upon receipt of an ICMP request from source address 198.51.100.1 and ICMP identifier (ID1) to destination IP address 198.51.100.11 is characterized as follows:

The mapping that will be created by a NAT64 upon receipt of an ICMP request from source address 2001:db8:aaaa::1 and ICMP identifier (ID1) to destination IP address 2001:db8:1234::198.51.100.1 is characterized as follows:

2.9. Resource Limits

In order to comply with CGN deployments in particular, the NAT YANG module allows limiting the number of external ports per subscriber (port-quota) and the amount of state memory allocated per mapping and per subscriber (mapping-limit and connection-limit). According to [RFC6888], the model allows for the following:

2.10. Binding the NAT Function to an External Interface or VRF

The model allows to specify the interface or Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance on which the NAT function must be applied (external-realm). Distinct interfaces/VRFs can be provided as a function of the NAT policy (see for example, Section 4 of [RFC7289]).

If no external interface/VRF is provided, this assumes that the system is able to determine the external interface/VRF instance on which the NAT will be applied. Typically, the WAN and LAN interfaces of a CPE is determined by the CPE.

             Subscriber-mask is a system-wide configuration
             parameter that is used to enforce generic

             Example: suppose the 2001:db8:100:100::/56 prefix
             is assigned to a NAT64 serviced CPE. Suppose also
             that 2001:db8:100:100::1 is the IPv6 address used

             it applies the subscriber-mask (e.g., 56) on
             the source IPv6 address to compute the associated
             prefix for this client (2001:db8:100:100::/56).
             Then, the NAT64 enforces policies based on that
             prefix (2001:db8:100:100::/56), not on the exact

4. 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.

All data nodes defined in the YANG module which can be created, modified and deleted (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes are considered sensitive. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) applied to these data nodes without proper protection can negatively affect network operations.

Security considerations related to address and prefix translation are discussed in [RFC6888], [RFC6146], [RFC6877], [RFC7757], and [RFC6296].

5. IANA Considerations

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

         name: ietf-nat
         namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-nat
         prefix: nat
         reference: RFC XXXX

This document requests IANA to register the following URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]: [RFC7950].

Appendix A. Sample Examples

This section provides a non-exhaustive set of examples to illustrate the use of the NAT YANG module.

A.1. Traditional NAT44

Traditional NAT44 is a Basic NAT44 or NAPT that is used to share the same IPv4 address among hosts that are owned by the same subscriber. This is typically the NAT that is embedded in CPE devices.

This NAT is usually provided with one single external IPv4 address; disambiguating connections is achieved by rewriting the source port number. The XML snippet to configure the external IPv4 address in such case together with a mapping entry is depicted below:

<instances>
     <instance>
       <id>1</id>
       <name>NAT_Subscriber_A</name>
        ....
       <external-ip-address-pool>
           <pool-id>1</pool-id>
           <external-ip-pool>
              192.0.2.1
           </external-ip-pool>
       </external-ip-address-pool>
        ....
       <mapping-table>
           ....
           <external-src-address>
              192.0.2.1
           </external-src-address>
           ....
       <mapping-table>
     </instance>
</instances>

The following shows the XML excerpt depicting a dynamic UDP mapping entry maintained by a traditional NAT44. In reference to this example, the UDP packet received with a source IPv4 address (192.0.2.1) and source port number (1568) is translated into a UDP packet having a source IPv4 address (198.51.100.1) and source port (15000). The lifetime of this mapping is 300 seconds.

<mapping-entry>
  <index>15</index>
  <type>
     dynamic-explicit
  </type>
  <transport-protocol>
     17
  </transport-protocol>
  <internal-src-address>
     192.0.2.1
  </internal-dst-address>
  <internal-src-port>
     <start-port-number>
        1568
     </start-port-number>
  </internal-dst-port>
  <external-dst-address>
     198.51.100.1
  </external-dst-address>
  <external-dst-port>
     <start-port-number>
        15000
     </start-port-number>
  </external-dst-port>
  <lifetime>
     300
  </lifetime>
</mapping-entry>

A.4. NAT64

Let's consider the example of a NAT64 that should use 2001:db8:122:300::/56 to perform IPv6 address synthesis [RFC6052]. The XML snippet to configure the NAT64 prefix in such case is depicted below:

<nat64-prefixes>
   <nat64-prefix>
     2001:db8:122:300::/56
   </nat64-prefix>
</nat64-prefixes>

A NAT64 can be instructed to behave in the stateless mode by providing the following configuration. The same NAT64 prefix is used for constructing both IPv4- translatable IPv6 addresses and IPv4-converted IPv6 addresses (Section 3.3 of [RFC6052]).

<nat64-prefixes>
   <nat64-prefix>
     2001:db8:122:300::/56
   </nat64-prefix>
   <stateless-enable>
    true
   </stateless-enable>
</nat64-prefixes>

Let's now consider the example of a NAT64 that should use 2001:db8:122::/48 to perform IPv6 address synthesis [RFC6052] only if the destination address matches 198.51.100.0/24. The XML snippet to configure the NAT64 prefix in such case is shown below:

<nat64-prefixes>
   <nat64-prefix>
      2001:db8:122::/48
   </nat64-prefix>
   <destination-ipv4-prefix>
      <ipv4-prefix>
          198.51.100.0/24  
      </ipv4-prefix>
   </destination-ipv4-prefix>
</nat64-prefixes>

A.5. Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation

As specified in [RFC7757], an EAM consists of an IPv4 prefix and an IPv6 prefix. Let's consider the set of EAM examples in Figure 2.

               +---+----------------+----------------------+
               | # |  IPv4 Prefix   |     IPv6 Prefix      |
               +---+----------------+----------------------+
               | 1 | 192.0.2.1      | 2001:db8:aaaa::      |
               | 2 | 192.0.2.2/32   | 2001:db8:bbbb::b/128 |
               | 3 | 192.0.2.16/28  | 2001:db8:cccc::/124  |
               | 4 | 192.0.2.128/26 | 2001:db8:dddd::/64   |
               | 5 | 192.0.2.192/29 | 2001:db8:eeee:8::/62 |
               | 6 | 192.0.2.224/31 | 64:ff9b::/127        |
               +---+----------------+----------------------+

  </ipv4-prefix>
  <ipv6-prefix>
     64:ff9b::/127
  </ipv6-prefix>
</eam>

EAMs may be enabled jointly with statefull NAT64. This example shows a NAT64 fucntion that supports static mappings:

A.6. Static Mappings with Port Ranges

The following example shows a static mapping that instructs a NAT to translate packets issued from 192.0.2.1 and with source ports in the 100-500 range to 198.51.100.1:1100-1500.

<mapping-entry>
  <index>1</index>
  <type>static</type>
  <transport-protocol>6</transport-protocol>
  <internal-src-address>
     192.0.2.1
  </internal-dst-address>
  <internal-dst-port>
    <start-port-number>
       100
    </start-port-number>
    <end-port-number>
      500
    </end-port-number>
  </internal-dst-port>
  <external-src-address>
     198.51.100.1
  </external-dst-address>
  <external-src-port>
     <start-port-number>
       1100
     </start-port-number>
     <end-port-number>
       1500
     </end-port-number>
  </external-dst-port>
  ...
</mapping-entry>

A.7. Static Mappings with IP Prefixes

The following example shows a static mapping that instructs a NAT to translate packets issued from 192.0.2.1/24 to 198.51.100.1/24.

<mapping-entry>
  <index>1</index>
  <type>static</type>
  <transport-protocol>6</transport-protocol>
  <internal-src-address>
     192.0.2.1/24
  </internal-dst-address>
  <external-src-address>
     198.51.100.1/24
  </external-dst-address>
  ...
</mapping-entry>

A.8. Destination NAT

The following XML snippet shows an example a destination NAT that is instructed to translate packets having 192.0.2.1 as a destination IP address to 198.51.100.1.

<dst-ip-address-pool>
   <pool-id>1</pool-id>
   <dst-in-ip-pool>
     192.0.2.1
   </dst-in-ip-pool>
   <dst-out-ip-pool>
     198.51.100.1
   </dst-out-ip-pool>
</dst-ip-address-pool>

In order to instruct a NAT to translate TCP packets destined to 192.0.2.1:80 to 198.51.100.1:8080, the following XML snippet shows the static mapping to be configured on the NAT:

<mapping-entry>
  <index>1</index>
  <type>static</type>
  <transport-protocol>6</transport-protocol>
  <internal-dst-address>
     192.0.2.1
  </internal-dst-address>
  <internal-dst-port>
      <start-port-number>80</start-port-number>
  </internal-dst-port>
  <external-dst-address>
      198.51.100.1
  </external-dst-address>
  <external-dst-port>
      <start-port-number>8080</start-port-number>
  </external-dst-port>
</mapping-entry>

In order to instruct a NAT to translate TCP packets destined to 192.0.2.1:80 (http traffic) to 198.51.100.1 and 192.0.2.1:22 (ssh traffic) to 198.51.100.2, the following XML snippet shows the static mappings to be configured on the NAT:

<mapping-entry>
  <index>1</index>
  <type>static</type>
  <transport-protocol>6</transport-protocol>
  <internal-dst-address>
    192.0.2.1
  </internal-dst-address>
  <internal-dst-port>
    <start-port-number>
      80
    </start-port-number>
  </internal-dst-port>
  <external-dst-address>
    198.51.100.1
  </external-dst-address>
  ...
</mapping-entry>
<mapping-entry>
  <index>2</index>
  <type>static</type>
  <transport-protocol>
     6
  </transport-protocol>
  <internal-dst-address>
    192.0.2.1
  </internal-dst-address>
  <internal-dst-port>
    <start-port-number>
      22
    </start-port-number>
  </internal-dst-port>
  <external-dst-address>
    198.51.100.2
  </external-dst-address>
  ...
</mapping-entry>

The NAT may also be instructed to proceed with both source and destination NAT. To do so, in addition to the above sample to configure destination NAT, the NAT may be provided, for example with a pool of external IP addresses (198.51.100.0/24) to use for source address translation. An example of the corresponding XML snippet is provided hereafter:

<external-ip-address-pool>
  <pool-id>1</pool-id>
  <external-ip-pool>
     198.51.100.0/24
  </external-ip-pool>
</external-ip-address-pool>

A.9. CLAT

The following XML snippet shows the example of a CLAT that is configured with 2001:db8:1234::/96 as PLAT-side IPv6 prefix and 2001:db8:aaaa::/96 as CLAT-side IPv6 prefix. The CLAT is also provided with 192.0.0.1/32 (which is selected from the IPv4 service continuity prefix defined in [RFC7335]).

<clat-ipv6-prefixes>
   <ipv6-prefix>
     2001:db8:aaaa::/96
   </ipv6-prefix>
</clat-ipv6-prefixes>
<clat-ipv4-prefixes>
   <ipv4-prefix>
     192.0.0.1/32
   </ipv4-prefix>
</clat-ipv4-prefixes>
<nat64-prefixes>
   <nat64-prefix>
     2001:db8:1234::/96
   </nat64-prefix>
</nat64-prefixes>

A.10. NPTv6

Let's consider the example of a NPTv6 translator that should rewrite packets with the source prefix (fd01:203:405:/48) with the external prefix (2001:db8:1:/48). The internal interface is "eth0" while the external interface is "eth1".

               External Network:  Prefix = 2001:db8:1:/48
                   --------------------------------------
                                     |
                                     |eth1
                              +-------------+
                          eth4|     NPTv6   |eth2
                      ...-----|             |------...
                              +-------------+
                                     |eth0
                                     |
                   --------------------------------------
               Internal Network:  Prefix = fd01:203:405:/48

Example of NPTv6 (RFC6296)

<nptv6-prefixes>
  <translation-id>1</translation-id>
  <internal-ipv6-prefix>
    fd01:203:405:/48
  </internal-ipv6-prefix>
  <external-ipv6-prefix>
    2001:db8:1:/48
  </external-ipv6-prefix>
</nptv6-prefixes>
...
<external-interfaces>
 <external-interface>
   eth1
 </external-interface>
</external-interfaces>

Figure 3 shows an example of an NPTv6 that interconnects two internal networks (fd01:203:405:/48 and fd01:4444:5555:/48); each is translated using a dedicated prefix (2001:db8:1:/48 and 2001:db8:6666:/48, respectively).

                  Internal Prefix = fd01:4444:5555:/48
                  --------------------------------------
                       V            |      External Prefix
                       V            |eth1     2001:db8:1:/48
                       V        +---------+      ^
                       V        |  NPTv6  |      ^
                       V        |         |      ^
                       V        +---------+      ^
              External Prefix       |eth0        ^
              2001:db8:6666:/48     |            ^
                  --------------------------------------
                  Internal Prefix = fd01:203:405:/48
