A YANG Module for uCPE management.

Abstract

This document provides a YANG data model for uCPE management (VYSM) and definition of the uCPE equipment. The YANG Model serves as a base framework for managing an universal Customer-Premises Equipment (uCPE) subsystem. The model can be used by a Network Orchestrator.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Network Function Virtualization is a technology that allows to virtualize the network services running on dedicated hardware. This technology became a base for universal Customer-Premises Equipment (uCPE). This document defines the uCPE as hardware with x86 capabilities that has a hypervisor. In other words, uCPE is a host that may run multiple Virtual Machines with guest OSs, where each Guest OS may represent a Physical Network Function. This document presents the YANG Model (VYSM) to manage from an Orchestrator the infrastructure inside the uCPE.

2. Terminology

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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

Link - is an entity that enables link layer communication of nodes.

Port - node connector to the link.

NE - Network Element.

NSYM - Network Yang Module.

VYSM - VNF YANG Model.

3. Universal CPE

Firstly, this document defines the platform that is controlled with VYSM - universal CPE (uCPE). The uCPE as hardware with x86 capabilities that is generally running Linux distribution with additional virtualization layer. Virtualization layer provides virtual compute, virtual storage and virtual network resources. Each VNF running in the uCPE requires the amount of virtual resources (for example: 4 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 40GB storage, 4 vPorts). VNFs MAY be interconnected between each other and physical ports via Virtual Networks. Topology construction and VM life-cycle management is allowed via high level interface (Configuration can be done in the same transaction). The figure below presents the uCPE architecture.


----------------------------------------|--------------
VNF1            VNF2            VNF3    |
----------------------------------------|
Virtual         Virtual         Virtual | uCPE software

----------------------------------------|---------------
PHY x86         RAM+PHY         PHYsical| uCPE Hardware
processor       storage         ports   |



The next elements can be managed in the uCPE:

3.1. uCPE purpose

  • uCPE replaces multiple types of equipment (Node#1 - Node#5) with 1 unit by virtualizing them as Virtual Network Functions on the top of NFVIs:

    
     :     NODE #1     :   NODE #2 :  NODE #3  :NODE #4: NODE #5  :
     :   +-----------+ :  +------+ :  +------+ :  +--+ :  +-----+ :
    .----|Aggregation|----|CE-L2 |----| CE-L3|----|FW|----|SDWAN|---LAN
     :   |  switch   | :  |      | :  |      | :  |  | :  |     | :
     :   +-----------+ :  +------+ :  +------+ :  +--+ :  +-----+ :
    
    
    
     :     NODE #1   :           NODE #2                           :
     :               : +.........................................+ :
     : +-----------+ : |  +------+    +------+    +--+   +-----+ | :
    .--|Aggregation|---|--|CE-L2 |----| CE-L3|----|FW|---|SDWAN|-|---LAN
     : |  switch   | : |  |      |    |      |    |  |   |     | | :
     : +-----------+ : |  +------+    +------+    +--+   +-----+ | :
     :               : |  universal Customer-Premises Equipment  | :
     :               : +-----------------------------------------+ :
    
    
  • uCPE facilitates the interconnection between the Network Functions (NF) as interconnection between NF is performed via virtual links(that is part of the uCPE management). That means that no need to hire technician to cable the equipment, it could be done via orchestrator.
  • uCPE facilitates the 0day configuration of the VNFs as its 0day configuration can be putted remotely.

3.2. uCPE VNF ecosystem example

uCPE supports a Virtual Network Functions of different type:

  • SD-WAN
  • vRouter
  • vFirewall
  • vLB(vLoad Balancer)
  • vCGNAT(vCarrier Grade NAT)
  • virtual WAN Optimistaion
  • vWireless LAN controller
  • Other...

3.3. Internal uCPE service example

The VNF in the uCPE could be a vRouter or vFirewall or an SD-WAN that is not a default part of virtual network resources of the uCPE. Multiple VNFs MAY be instantiated in the uCPE. With support of links and switches, VNFs MAY participate a service chains. Example of service chains (Note that virtual switch "vs(WAN)" connected to LAN ports and vSW(WAN) is connected to WAN ports):

  • vSW(WAN)-l1-vRouter-l2-vSW(LAN).
  • vSW(WAN)-l1-vRouter-l2-vSW(Service)-l3-vFirewall-l4-vSW(LAN).
  • vSW(WAN)-l1-vRouter-l2-vSW(Service1)-l3-vFirewall-l4-vSW(Service2)-l5-SD-WAN-l6-vSW(LAN).
  • vSW(WAN)-l1-SDWAN-l2-vSW(Service)-l3-vFirewall-l4-vSW(LAN).
  • 
    vSW(WAN1)--vRouter--+
                        +--vLoadBalance  vFirewall--vSW(LAN)
    vSW(WAN2)--vRouter--+     |              |
                              +-vSW(Service1)+
    
    
  • 
    vSW(WAN1)--vRouter(ISP1)--+
                              +--SD-WAN        vFirewall--vSW(LAN)
    vSW(WAN2)--vRouter(ISP2)--+     |              |
                                    +-vSW(Service1)+
    
    

4. YANG Model for uCPE management

Secondly, this document defines and classifies the YANG Model for uCPE Management. This Module is modeled representation of the specific network requirements. It provides abstraction of network configuration and operations. The YANG Model for uCPE Management does not describe all configuration to be performed on the devices, but provides the configuration that is required for the "Network to Network Element(s)" decomposition process RFC 8199 [RFC8199]. Example of the decomposition is presented in the figure below.

The Network YANG module exposes the configuration commands via the Northbound interfaces of the orchestrator. Therefore the set of the commands modeled in the VYSM can be inputted via Notrhbound interfaces(for example CLI). In the example the command "vm VNF1" is passed via Northbound interface to the orchestrator. It defines the virtual machine name. Further the same configuration MAY be transformed to the one or multiple Network Element payloads (for example xml for NETCONF) that carry an equivalent of commands such as "nf nf-name VNF1"
