A YANG Model for Network and VPN Service Performance Monitoring
draft-www-bess-yang-vpn-service-pm-04

Abstract

The data model defined in [RFC8345] introduces vertical layering relationships between networks that can be augmented to cover network/service topologies. This document defines a YANG model for both Network Performance Monitoring and VPN Service Performance Monitoring that can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology at higher layer or the service topology between VPN sites. This model is an augmentation to the network topology YANG data model defined in [RFC8345].

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

[RFC8345] defines an abstract YANG data model for network/service topologies and inventories. Service topology described in [RFC8345] includes the a virtual topology for a service layer above the L1, L2, and L3 layers. This service topology has the generic topology elements of node, link, and terminating point. One typical example of a service topology is described in figure 3 of [RFC8345], two VPN service topologies instantiated over a common L3 topology. Each VPN service topology is mapped onto a subset of nodes from the common L3 topology.

In [RFC8299], 3 types of VPN service topologies are defined for the L3VPN service data model: any to any; hub and spoke; and hub and spoke disjoint. These VPN topology types can be used to describe how VPN sites communicate with each other.

This document defines a YANG Model for both Network performance monitoring and VPN Service Performance Monitoring that can be used to monitor and manage network Performance on the topology at higher layer or the service topology between VPN sites and it is an augmentation to the network topology YANG data model defined in [RFC8345].

3. Network and VPN service assurance module

This module defined in this document is a Network and VPN Service assurance module that can be used to monitor and manage the network Performance on the topology at higher layer layer or the service topology between VPN sites and it is an augmentation to the "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" YANG data model [RFC8345]. The performance monitoring data is augmented to service topology.

4. Layering relationship between multiple layers of topology

The data model defined in [RFC8345] can describe vertical layering relationships between networks. That model can be augmented to cover network/service topologies.

Figure 1 describes an example on topology mapping between the VPN service topology and the underlying network:

Example of topology mapping between VPN Service Topo and Underlying network

As shown in Figure 1, Site-1A, Site-1B, and Site-1C are mapped to nodes 1, 2, and 3, while Site-2A, Site-2B, and Site-2C are mapped to nodes 4, 5, and 6 in the underlying physical network. In this figure, two VPN services topologies are both built on top of one common underlying physical network.

VPN service topology 1 is hub and spoke topology while VPN service topology 2 is hub and spoke disjoint topology. In VPN service topology 1, Site-1 A plays the role of hub while Site-2 B and C plays the role of spoke. In VPN service topoogy 2, Site-2 A and B play the role of hub while Site-2 C plays the role of spoke.

5. Model Usage Guideline

An SP must be able to manage the capabilities and characteristics of their Network/VPN services when Network connection is established or VPN sites are setup to communicate with each other. VPN service topology such as hub and spoke describes how these VPN sites are communicating with each other.

5.1. Performance Monitoring Data Source

As described in Section 4, once the mapping between VPN Service topology and underlying physical network has been setup, the performance monitoring data per link in the underlying network can be collected using network performance measurement method such as MPLS Loss and Delay Measurement [RFC6374]. The performance monitoring information reflecting the quality of the Network or VPN service such as end to end network performance data between source node and destination node in the network or between VPN sites can be aggregated or calculated using PCEP solution [RFC5440] or LMAP solution [RFC8194]. The information can be fed into data source such as the management system or network devices. The measurement interval and report interval associated with these performance data usually depends on configuration parameters.

5.2. Retrieval via I2RS Pub/Sub [RFC7923]

Some applications such as service-assurance applications, which must maintain a continuous view of operational data and state, can use subscription model [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-push] to subscribe to the Network performance data or VPN service performance data they are interested in, at the data source.

The data source can then use the Network and VPN service assurance model defined in this document and push model [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-push] to distribute specific telemetry data to target recipients.

5.3. On demand Retrieval via RPC model

To obtain a snapshot of a large amount of performance data from the network element, service-assurance applications can also use polling based solution such as RPC model to fetch performance data on demand.

6. Design of the Data Model

This document defines the YANG module "ietf-network-vpn-pm", which has the following structure

6.1. Network Level

   module: ietf-network-vpn-pm

10. Security Considerations

The YANG modules defined in this document MAY be accessed via the RESTCONF protocol [RFC8040] or NETCONF protocol ([RFC6241]). The lowest RESTCONF or NETCONF layer requires that the transport-layer protocol provides both data integrity and confidentiality, see Section 2 in [RFC8040] and [RFC6241]. 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. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
