A YANG Data Model for Routing Management

Abstract

This document contains a specification of three YANG modules and one submodule. Together they form the core routing data model that serves as a framework for configuring and managing a routing subsystem. It is expected that these modules will be augmented by additional YANG modules defining data models for control-plane protocols, route filters, and other functions. The core routing data model provides common building blocks for such extensions -- routes, Routing Information Bases (RIBs), and control-plane protocols.

1. Introduction

This document contains a specification of the following YANG modules:

  • The "ietf-routing" module provides generic components of a routing data model.
  • The "ietf-ipv4-unicast-routing" module augments the "ietf-routing" module with additional data specific to IPv4 unicast.
  • The "ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing" module augments the "ietf-routing" module with additional data specific to IPv6 unicast. Its submodule "ietf-ipv6-router-advertisements" also augments the "ietf-interfaces" [RFC7223] and "ietf-ip" [RFC7277] modules with IPv6 router configuration variables required by [RFC4861].

These modules together define the so-called core routing data model, which is intended as a basis for future data model development covering more-sophisticated routing systems. While these three modules can be directly used for simple IP devices with static routing (see Appendix B), their main purpose is to provide essential building blocks for more-complicated data models involving multiple control-plane protocols, multicast routing, additional address families, and advanced functions such as route filtering or policy routing. To this end, it is expected that the core routing data model will be augmented by numerous modules developed by various IETF working groups.

2. Terminology and Notation

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].

  • client
  • message
  • protocol operation
  • server

The following terms are defined in [RFC7950]:

  • action
  • augment
  • configuration data
  • container
  • container with presence
  • data model
  • data node
  • feature
  • leaf
  • list
  • mandatory node
  • module
  • schema tree
  • state data

2.1. Glossary of New Terms

   core routing data model:  YANG data model comprising "ietf-routing",
   
      "ietf-ipv4-unicast-routing", and "ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing"
      modules.
   
   direct route:  a route to a directly connected network.
   
   Routing Information Base (RIB):  An object containing a list of
      routes together with other information.  See Section 5.2 for
      details.
   
   system-controlled entry:  An entry of a list in state data ("config
      false") that is created by the system independently of what has
      been explicitly configured.  See Section 4.1 for details.
   
   user-controlled entry:  An entry of a list in state data ("config
      false") that is created and deleted as a direct consequence of
      certain configuration changes.  See Section 4.1 for details.

2.2. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the complete data tree is presented in Appendix A, and similar diagrams of its various subtrees appear in the main text.

  • Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
  • Curly braces "{" and "}" contain names of optional features that make the corresponding node conditional.
  • Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration (read-write), "ro" state data (read-only), "-x" RPC operations or actions, and "-n" notifications.
  • Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" a container with presence, and "*" denotes a "list" or "leaf-list".
  • Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":").
  • Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown.

2.3. Prefixes in Data Node Names

In this document, names of data nodes, actions, and other data model objects are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from the context in which YANG module each name is defined. Otherwise, names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1.

            +--------+---------------------------+-----------+
            | Prefix | YANG module               | Reference |
            +--------+---------------------------+-----------+
            | if     | ietf-interfaces           | [RFC7223] |
            | ip     | ietf-ip                   | [RFC7277] |
            | rt     | ietf-routing              | Section 7 |

3. Objectives

The initial design of the core routing data model was driven by the following objectives:

  • The data model should be suitable for the common address families -- in particular, IPv4 and IPv6 -- and for unicast and multicast routing, as well as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
  • A simple IP routing system, such as one that uses only static routing, should be configurable in a simple way, ideally without any need to develop additional YANG modules.
  • On the other hand, the core routing framework must allow for complicated implementations involving multiple Routing Information Bases (RIBs) and multiple control-plane protocols, as well as controlled redistributions of routing information.
  • Because device vendors will want to map the data models built on this generic framework to their proprietary data models and configuration interfaces, the framework should be flexible enough to facilitate that and accommodate data models with different logic.

4. The Design of the Core Routing Data Model

The core routing data model consists of three YANG modules and one submodule. The first module, "ietf-routing", defines the generic components of a routing system. The other two modules, "ietf-ipv4- unicast-routing" and "ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing", augment the "ietf- routing" module with additional data nodes that are needed for IPv4 and IPv6 unicast routing, respectively. The "ietf-ipv6-unicast- routing" module has a submodule, "ietf-ipv6-router-advertisements", that augments the "ietf-interfaces" [RFC7223] and "ietf-ip" [RFC7277] modules with configuration variables for IPv6 router advertisements as required by [RFC4861]. Figures 1 and 2 show abridged views of the configuration and state data hierarchies. See Appendix A for the complete data trees.

Figure 2: State Data Hierarchy

As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the core routing data model introduces several generic components of a routing framework: routes, RIBs containing lists of routes, and control-plane protocols. Section 5 describes these components in more detail.

4.1. System-Controlled and User-Controlled List Entries

The core routing data model defines several lists in the schema tree, such as "rib", that have to be populated with at least one entry in any properly functioning device, and additional entries may be configured by a client.

In such a list, the server creates the required item as a so-called system-controlled entry in state data, i.e., inside the "routing- state" container.

An example can be seen in Appendix D: the "/routing-state/ribs/rib" list has two system-controlled entries named "ipv4-master" and "ipv6-master".

Additional entries may be created in the configuration by a client, e.g., via the NETCONF protocol. These are so-called user-controlled entries. If the server accepts a configured user-controlled entry, then this entry also appears in the state data version of the list.

Corresponding entries in both versions of the list (in state data and configuration) have the same value of the list key.

A client may also provide supplemental configuration of system- controlled entries. To do so, the client creates a new entry in the configuration with the desired contents. In order to bind this entry to the corresponding entry in the state data list, the key of the configuration entry has to be set to the same value as the key of the state entry.

Deleting a user-controlled entry from the configuration list results in the removal of the corresponding entry in the state data list. In contrast, if a system-controlled entry is deleted from the configuration list, only the extra configuration specified in that entry is removed but the corresponding state data entry remains in the list.

5. Basic Building Blocks

This section describes the essential components of the core routing data model.

5.1. Route

Routes are basic elements of information in a routing system. The core routing data model defines only the following minimal set of route attributes:

  • "destination-prefix": address prefix specifying the set of destination addresses for which the route may be used. This attribute is mandatory.
  • "route-preference": an integer value (also known as administrative distance) that is used for selecting a preferred route among routes with the same destination prefix. A lower value means a more preferred route.
  • "next-hop": determines the outgoing interface and/or next-hop address(es), or a special operation to be performed with a packet.

Routes are primarily state data that appear as entries of RIBs (Section 5.2) but they may also be found in configuration data, for example, as manually configured static routes. In the latter case, configurable route attributes are generally a subset of attributes defined for RIB routes.

5.2. Routing Information Base (RIB)

Every implementation of the core routing data model manages one or more Routing Information Bases (RIBs). A RIB is a list of routes complemented with administrative data. Each RIB contains only routes of one address family. An address family is represented by an identity derived from the "rt:address-family" base identity.

In the core routing data model, RIBs are state data represented as entries of the list "/routing-state/ribs/rib". The contents of RIBs are controlled and manipulated by control-plane protocol operations that may result in route additions, removals, and modifications. This also includes manipulations via the "static" and/or "direct" pseudo-protocols; see Section 5.3.1.

For every supported address family, exactly one RIB MUST be marked as the so-called default RIB to which control-plane protocols place their routes by default.

Simple router implementations that do not advertise the feature "multiple-ribs" will typically create one system-controlled RIB per supported address family and mark it as the default RIB.

More-complex router implementations advertising the "multiple-ribs" feature support multiple RIBs per address family that can be used for policy routing and other purposes.

The following action (see Section 7.15 of [RFC7950]) is defined for the "rib" list:

  • active-route -- return the active RIB route for the destination address that is specified as the action's input parameter.

5.3. Control-Plane Protocol

The core routing data model provides an open-ended framework for defining multiple control-plane protocol instances, e.g., for Layer 3 routing protocols. Each control-plane protocol instance MUST be assigned a type, which is an identity derived from the "rt:control-plane-protocol" base identity. The core routing data model defines two identities for the direct and static pseudo- protocols (Section 5.3.1).

Multiple control-plane protocol instances of the same type MAY be configured.

5.3.1. Routing Pseudo-Protocols

The core routing data model defines two special routing protocol types -- "direct" and "static". Both are in fact pseudo-protocols, which means that they are confined to the local device and do not exchange any routing information with adjacent routers.

Every implementation of the core routing data model MUST provide exactly one instance of the "direct" pseudo-protocol type. It is the source of direct routes for all configured address families. Direct routes are normally supplied by the operating system kernel, based on the configuration of network interface addresses; see Section 6.2.

A pseudo-protocol of the type "static" allows for specifying routes manually. It MAY be configured in zero or multiple instances, although a typical configuration will have exactly one instance.

5.3.2. Defining New Control-Plane Protocols

It is expected that future YANG modules will create data models for additional control-plane protocol types. Such a new module has to define the protocol-specific configuration and state data, and it has to integrate it into the core routing framework in the following way:

  • A new identity MUST be defined for the control-plane protocol, and its base identity MUST be set to "rt:control-plane-protocol" or to an identity derived from "rt:control-plane-protocol".
  • Additional route attributes MAY be defined, preferably in one place by means of defining a YANG grouping. The new attributes have to be inserted by augmenting the definitions of the nodes
       /rt:routing-state/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route
      
      and

/rt:routing-state/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:output/rt:route,

and possibly other places in the configuration, state data, notifications, and input/output parameters of actions or RPC operations.

  • Configuration parameters and/or state data for the new protocol can be defined by augmenting the "control-plane-protocol" data node under both "/routing" and "/routing-state".

By using a "when" statement, the augmented configuration parameters and state data specific to the new protocol SHOULD be made conditional and valid only if the value of "rt:type" or "rt:source-protocol" is equal to (or derived from) the new protocol's identity.

It is also RECOMMENDED that protocol-specific data nodes be encapsulated in an appropriately named container with presence. Such a container may contain mandatory data nodes that are otherwise forbidden at the top level of an augment.

The above steps are implemented by the example YANG module for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) in Appendix C.

5.4. Parameters of IPv6 Router Advertisements

YANG module "ietf-ipv6-router-advertisements" (Section 9.1), which is a submodule of the "ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing" module, augments the configuration and state data of IPv6 interfaces with definitions of the following variables as required by Section 6.2.1 of [RFC4861]:

  • send-advertisements
  • max-rtr-adv-interval
  • min-rtr-adv-interval
  • managed-flag
  • other-config-flag
  • link-mtu
  • reachable-time
  • retrans-timer
  • cur-hop-limit
  • default-lifetime
  • prefix-list: a list of prefixes to be advertised.

The following parameters are associated with each prefix in the list:

  • valid-lifetime
  • on-link-flag
  • preferred-lifetime
  • autonomous-flag

NOTES:

   1.  The "IsRouter" flag, which is also required by [RFC4861], is
       implemented in the "ietf-ip" module [RFC7277] (leaf
       "ip:forwarding").
  1. The original specification [RFC4861] allows the implementations to decide whether the "valid-lifetime" and "preferred-lifetime" parameters remain the same in consecutive advertisements or decrement in real time. However, the latter behavior seems problematic because the values might be reset again to the (higher) configured values after a configuration is reloaded. Moreover, no implementation is known to use the decrementing behavior. The "ietf-ipv6-router-advertisements" submodule therefore stipulates the former behavior with constant values.

6. Interactions with Other YANG Modules

The semantics of the core routing data model also depends on several configuration parameters that are defined in other YANG modules.

6.1. Module "ietf-interfaces"

The following boolean switch is defined in the "ietf-interfaces" YANG module [RFC7223]:

   /if:interfaces/if:interface/if:enabled

If this switch is set to "false" for a network-layer interface, then all routing and forwarding functions MUST be disabled on this interface.

6.2. Module "ietf-ip"

The following boolean switches are defined in the "ietf-ip" YANG module [RFC7277]:

   /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4/ip:enabled

If this switch is set to "false" for a network-layer interface, then all IPv4 routing and forwarding functions MUST be disabled on this interface.

   /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4/ip:forwarding

If this switch is set to "false" for a network-layer interface, then the forwarding of IPv4 datagrams through this interface MUST be disabled. However, the interface MAY participate in other IPv4 routing functions, such as routing protocols.

   /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6/ip:enabled

If this switch is set to "false" for a network-layer interface, then all IPv6 routing and forwarding functions MUST be disabled on this interface.

   /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6/ip:forwarding

If this switch is set to "false" for a network-layer interface, then the forwarding of IPv6 datagrams through this interface MUST be disabled. However, the interface MAY participate in other IPv6 routing functions, such as routing protocols.

In addition, the "ietf-ip" module allows for configuring IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and network prefixes or masks on network-layer interfaces. Configuration of these parameters on an enabled interface MUST result in an immediate creation of the corresponding direct route. The destination prefix of this route is set according to the configured IP address and network prefix/mask, and the interface is set as the outgoing interface for that route.

Configuration and state data conforming to the core routing data model (defined in this document) are designed to be accessed via a management protocol with a secure transport layer, such as NETCONF [RFC6241]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.

A number of configuration data nodes defined in the YANG modules belonging to the core routing data model are writable/creatable/ deletable (i.e., "config true" in YANG terms, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations to these data nodes, such as "edit-config" in NETCONF, can have negative effects on the network if the protocol operations are not properly protected.

The vulnerable "config true" parameters and subtrees are the following:

   /routing/control-plane-protocols/control-plane-protocol:  This list
      specifies the control-plane protocols configured on a device.
   
   /routing/ribs/rib:  This list specifies the RIBs configured for the
      device.

Unauthorized access to any of these lists can adversely affect the routing subsystem of both the local device and the network. This may lead to network malfunctions, delivery of packets to inappropriate destinations, and other problems.

Appendix B. Minimum Implementation

Some parts and options of the core routing model, such as user- defined RIBs, are intended only for advanced routers. This appendix gives basic non-normative guidelines for implementing a bare minimum of available functions. Such an implementation may be used for hosts or very simple routers.

A minimum implementation does not support the feature "multiple-ribs". This means that a single system-controlled RIB is available for each supported address family -- IPv4, IPv6, or both. These RIBs are also the default RIBs. No user-controlled RIBs are allowed.

In addition to the mandatory instance of the "direct" pseudo- protocol, a minimum implementation should support configuring instance(s) of the "static" pseudo-protocol.

For hosts that are never intended to act as routers, the ability to turn on sending IPv6 router advertisements (Section 5.4) should be removed.

Platforms with severely constrained resources may use deviations for restricting the data model, e.g., limiting the number of "static" control-plane protocol instances.

Appendix C. Example: Adding a New Control-Plane Protocol

This appendix demonstrates how the core routing data model can be extended to support a new control-plane protocol. The YANG module "example-rip" shown below is intended as an illustration rather than a real definition of a data model for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For the sake of brevity, this module does not obey all the guidelines specified in [RFC6087]. See also Section 5.3.2.
