1. Introduction

This document defines data models for DS-Lite [RFC6333], using the YANG data modeling language [RFC7950]. Both the Address Family Transition Router (AFTR) and Basic Bridging BroadBand (B4) elements are covered by this specification. As a reminder, Figure 1 illustrates an overview of the DS-Lite architecture that involves AFTR and B4 elements.

Figure 1: DS-Lite Base Architecture

[RFC6908].

This document follows the guidelines of [RFC6087], uses the common YANG types defined in [RFC6991], and adopts Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).

1.1. Terminology

This document makes use of the terms defined in Section 3 of [RFC6333].

The terminology for describing YANG data modules is defined in [RFC7950].

The meaning of the symbols in tree diagrams is defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams].

2. DS-Lite YANG Modules: An Overview

As shown in Figure 1:

Therefore, the AFTR YANG module is designed to augment both the Interfaces YANG module [RFC7223] and the NAT YANG module [I-D.ietf-opsawg-nat-yang] with DS-Lite specific features. The B4 YANG module augments the interfaces YANG module.

Concretely, the AFTR YANG module (Figure 2) augments the Interfaces YANG module with the following:

In addition, the AFTR YANG module augments the NAT YANG module (nat-policy, in particular) with the following:

Given that the NAT44 table of the AFTR element is extended to include the source IPv6 address of incoming packets, the AFTR YANG module augments the NAT mapping-entry with the following:

module: ietf-dslite-aftr
  augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
    +--rw aftr-ipv6-address?             inet:ipv6-address
    +--rw aftr-ipv4-address?             inet:ipv4-address
    +--rw tunnel-mtu?                    uint16
    +--rw max-softwire-per-subscriber?   uint8
    +--rw v6-v4-dscp-preservation?       boolean
  augment /nat:nat-module/nat:nat-instances/nat:nat-instance/nat:nat-policy:
    +--rw state-migrate?   boolean
    +--rw mss-clamping
       +--rw mss-clamping-enable?   boolean
       +--rw mss-value?             uint16
  augment /nat:nat-module/nat:nat-instances/nat:nat-instance/nat:mapping-table/nat:mapping-entry:
    +--rw b4-ipv6-address?    inet:ipv6-address
    +--rw v6-dscp?            uint8
    +--rw internal-v4-dscp?   uint8
    +--rw external-v4-dscp?   uint8

Figure 2: YANG Module for DS-Lite AFTR

Appendix A.

The B4 YANG module (Figure 3) augments the Interfaces YANG module with the following:

module: ietf-dslite-b4
  augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
    +--rw b4-ipv6-address?           inet:ipv6-address
    +--rw aftr-ipv6-addr?            inet:ipv6-address
    +--rw b4-ipv4-address?           inet:ipv4-address
    +--rw tunnel-mtu?                uint16
    +--rw v6-v4-dscp-preservation?   boolean

PCP-related considerations are out of scope of the document. A YANG module for PCP is documented in [I-D.boucadair-pcp-yang].

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 support of SSH is mandatory to implement secure transport [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and contents.

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.

6. IANA Considerations

Appendix A. Examples

The following example shows an AFTR that is reachable at 2001:db8::2. Also, this XML snippet indicates that the AFTR is provided with an IPv4 address (192.0.0.1) to be used for troubleshooting purposes such as reporting problems to B4s. Moreover, the AFTR is instructed to limit the number of softwires per subscriber to '1'.

<interface>
   <name>myAFTR</name>
   <type>ianaift:tunnel</type>
   <enabled>true</enabled>
   <aftr-ipv6-address>2001:db8::2</aftr-ipv6-address>
   <aftr-ipv4-address>192.0.0.1</aftr-ipv4-address>
   <max-softwire-per-subscriber>1</max-softwire-per-subscriber>
</interface>

The following shows an XML excerpt depicting a dynamic UDP mapping entry maintained by a DS-Lite AFTR. In reference to this example, the UDP packet received with a source IPv6 address (2001:db8::1), 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.
