Generic YANG Data Model for
Protocols
Abstract
-
This document presents a base YANG data model for connection-oriented Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) protocols. It provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs for such protocols. The model presented here can be extended to include technology-specific details. This guarantees uniformity in the management of OAM protocols and provides support for nested OAM workflows (i.e., performing OAM functions at different levels through a unified interface).
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture.

1. Introduction
-
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) are important networking functions that allow operators to:
1. monitor network communications (i.e., reachability verification and Continuity Check) 2. troubleshoot failures (i.e., fault verification and localization) 3. monitor service-level agreements and performance (i.e., performance management)An overview of OAM tools is presented in [RFC7276]. Over the years, many technologies have developed similar tools for fault and performance management.
The different sets of OAM tools may support both connection-oriented technologies or connectionless technologies. In connection-oriented technologies, a connection is established prior to the transmission of data. After the connection is established, no additional control information such as signaling or operations and maintenance information is required to transmit the actual user data. In connectionless technologies, data is typically sent between communicating endpoints without prior arrangement, but control information is required to identify the destination (e.g., [G.800]). The YANG data model for OAM protocols using connectionless communications is specified in [RFC8532] and [IEEE802.1Q].
Connectivity Fault Management as specified in [IEEE802.1Q] is a well- established OAM standard that is widely adopted for Ethernet networks. ITU-T [G.8013], MEF Forum (MEF) Service OAM [MEF-17], MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) [RFC6371], and Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) [RFC7455] all define OAM mechanisms based on the manageability framework of Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) [IEEE802.1Q].
Given the wide adoption of the underlying OAM concepts defined in CFM [IEEE802.1Q], it is a reasonable choice to develop the unified management framework for connection-oriented OAM based on those concepts. In this document, we take the CFM [IEEE802.1Q] model and extend it to a technology-independent framework and define the corresponding YANG data model accordingly. The YANG data model presented in this document is the base model for connection-oriented OAM protocols and supports generic continuity check, connectivity verification, and path discovery (traceroute). The generic YANG data model for connection-oriented OAM is designed to be extensible to other connection-oriented technologies. Technology-dependent nodes and remote procedure call (RPC) commands are defined in technology- specific YANG data models, which use and extend the base model defined here. As an example, Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) uses the source UDP port number for flow entropy, while TRILL uses either (a) MAC addresses, (b) the VLAN tag or Fine-Grained Label, and/or (c) IP addresses for flow entropy in the hashing for multipath selection. To capture this variation, corresponding YANG data models would define the applicable structures as augmentation to the generic base model presented here. This accomplishes three goals: First, it keeps each YANG data model smaller and more manageable. Second, it allows independent development of corresponding YANG data models. Third, implementations can limit support to only the applicable set of YANG data models (e.g., TRILL RBridge may only need to implement the generic model and the TRILL YANG data model).
The YANG data model presented in this document is generated at the management layer. Encapsulations and state machines may differ according to each OAM protocol. A user who wishes to issue a Continuity Check command or a Loopback or initiate a performance monitoring session can do so in the same manner, regardless of the underlying protocol or technology or specific vendor implementation.
As an example, consider a scenario where connectivity from device A loopback to device B fails. Between device A and B there are IEEE 802.1 bridges a, b, and c. Let's assume a, b, and c are using CFM [IEEE802.1Q]. A user, upon detecting the loopback failure, may decide to drill down to the lower level at different segments of the path and issue the corresponding fault verification (Loopback Message) and fault isolation (Looktrace Message) tools, using the same API. This ability to drill down to a lower layer of the protocol stack at a specific segment within a path for fault localization and troubleshooting is referred to as "nested OAM workflow". It is a useful concept that leads to efficient network troubleshooting and maintenance workflows. The connection-oriented OAM YANG data model presented in this document facilitates that without needing changes to the underlying protocols.
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].

2.2. Terminology
-
Continuity Checks - Continuity Checks are used to verify that a destination is reachable and therefore also are referred to as "reachability verification". Connectivity Verification - Connectivity Verification is used to verify that a destination is connected. It is also referred to as "path verification" and used to verify not only that the two MPs are connected, but also that they are connected through the expected path, allowing detection of unexpected topology changes. Proactive OAM - Proactive OAM refers to OAM actions that are carried out continuously to permit proactive reporting of fault. A proactive OAM method requires persistent configuration. On-demand OAM - On-demand OAM refers to OAM actions that are initiated via manual intervention for a limited time to carry out diagnostics. An on-demand OAM method requires only transient configuration.

Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340].
3. Architecture of Generic YANG Data Model for Connection-Oriented OAM
-
In this document, we define a generic YANG data model for connection- oriented OAM protocols. The YANG data model defined here is generic in a sense that other technologies can extend it for technology- specific needs. The generic YANG data model for connection-oriented OAM acts as the root for other OAM YANG data models. This allows users to traverse between different OAM protocols with ease through a uniform API set. This also enables a nested OAM workflow. Figure 1 depicts the relationship of different OAM YANG data models to the Generic YANG Data Model for connection-oriented OAM. The Generic YANG data model for connection-oriented OAM provides a framework where technology-specific YANG data models can inherit constructs from the base YANG data models without needing to redefine them within the sub-technology.

4. Overview of the Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model
-
In this document, we adopt the concepts of the CFM [IEEE802.1Q] model and structure such that it can be adapted to different connection- oriented OAM protocols.
At the top of the model is the Maintenance Domain. Each Maintenance Domain is associated with a Maintenance Name and a Domain Level.
Under each Maintenance Domain, there is one or more Maintenance Associations (MAs). In TRILL, the MA can correspond to a Fine- Grained Label.
Under each MA, there can be two or more MEPs (Maintenance End Points). MEPs are addressed by their respective technology-specific address identifiers. The YANG data model presented here provides flexibility to accommodate different addressing schemes.
Commands are presented in the management protocol, which is orthogonal to the Maintenance Domain. These are RPC commands, in YANG terms. They provide uniform APIs for Continuity Check, connectivity verification, path discovery (traceroute), and their equivalents, as well as other OAM commands.
The OAM entities in the generic YANG data model defined here will be either explicitly or implicitly configured using any of the OAM tools. The OAM tools used here are limited to the OAM toolset specified in Section 5.1 of [RFC7276]. In order to facilitate a zero-touch experience, this document defines a default mode of OAM. The default mode of OAM is referred to as the "Base Mode" and specifies default values for each of the model's parameters, such as Maintenance Domain Level, Name of the Maintenance Association, Addresses of MEPs, and so on. The default values of these depend on the technology. Base Mode for TRILL is defined in [RFC7455]. Base Mode for other technologies and future extensions developed in IETF will be defined in their corresponding documents.
It is important to note that no specific enhancements are needed in the YANG data model to support Base Mode. Implementations that comply with this document use, by default, the data nodes of the applicable technology. Data nodes of the Base Mode are read-only nodes.
4.1. Maintenance Domain (MD) Configuration
-
The container "domains" is the top-level container within the "gen-oam" module. Within the container "domains", a separate list is maintained per MD. The MD list uses the key "md-name-string" for indexing. The "md-name-string" is a leaf and derived from type string. Additional name formats as defined in [IEEE802.1Q], or other standards, can be included by association of the "md-name-format" with an identity-ref. The "md-name-format" indicates the format of the augmented "md-name". The "md-name" is presented as choice/case construct. Thus, it is easily augmentable by derivative work.

4.2. Maintenance Association (MA) Configuration
-
Within a given Maintenance Domain, there can be one or more Maintenance Associations (MAs). MAs are represented as a list and indexed by the "ma-name-string". Similar to "md-name" defined previously, additional name formats can be added by augmenting the name-format "identity-ref" and adding applicable case statements to "ma-name".

4.3. Maintenance End Point (MEP) Configuration
-
Within a given Maintenance Association (MA), there can be one or more Maintenance End Points (MEPs). MEPs are represented as a list within the data hierarchy and indexed by the key "mep-name".

4.4. RPC Definitions
-
The RPC model facilitates issuing commands to a "server" (in this case, to the device that need to execute the OAM command) and obtaining a response. The RPC model defined here abstracts OAM- specific commands in a technology-independent manner.
There are several RPC commands defined for the purpose of OAM. In this section, we present a snippet of the Continuity Check command for illustration purposes. Please refer to Section 4.5 for the complete data hierarchy and Section 5 for the YANG module.

to be used within IETF in a protocol-independent manner.
Functional-level abstraction is independent
with YANG modeling. It is assumed that each protocol
maps corresponding abstracts to its native format.

<CODE ENDS>
6. Base Mode
-
The Base Mode ("default mode" described in Section 4) defines the default configuration that MUST be present in the devices that comply with this document. Base Mode allows users to have a "zero-touch" experience. Several parameters require technology-specific definition.
6.1. MEP Address
-
In the Base Mode of operation, the MEP Address is by default the IP address of the interface on which the MEP is located.
6.2. MEP ID for Base Mode
-
In the Base Mode of operation, each device creates a single MEP associated with a virtual OAM port with no physical layer (NULL PHY). The MEP-ID associated with this MEP is zero (0). The choice of MEP-ID of zero is explained below.
MEP-ID is a 2-octet field by default. It is never used on the wire except when using CCM. It is important to have a method that can derive the MEP-ID of Base Mode in an automatic manner with no user intervention. The IP address cannot be directly used for this purpose, as the MEP-ID is a much smaller field. For the Base Mode of operation, MEP-ID is set to zero by default.
The CCM packet uses the MEP-ID in the payload. CCM MUST NOT be used in the Base Mode. Hence, CCM MUST be disabled on the Maintenance Association of the Base Mode.
If CCM is required, users MUST configure a separate Maintenance Association and assign unique values for the corresponding MEP IDs.
CFM [IEEE802.1Q] defines MEP-ID as an unsigned integer in the range 1 to 8191. In this document, we propose extending the range to 0 to 65535. Value 0 is reserved for the MEP-ID in the Base Mode operation and MUST NOT be used for other purposes.
6.3. Maintenance Association
-
The ID of the Maintenance Association (MA-ID) [IEEE802.1Q] has a flexible format and includes two parts: Maintenance Domain Name and Short MA name. In the Base Mode of operation, the value of the Maintenance Domain Name must be the character string "GenericBaseMode" (excluding the quotes). In the Base Mode operation, the Short MA Name format is set to a 2-octet integer format (value 3 in Short MA Format field [IEEE802.1Q]) and the Short MA name is set to 65532 (0xFFFC).
7. Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model Applicability
-
The "ietf-connection-oriented-oam" module defined in this document provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs for connection-oriented protocols. This module can be further extended to include technology-specific details, e.g., adding new data nodes with technology-specific functions and parameters into proper anchor points of the base model, so as to develop a technology-specific connection-oriented OAM model.
This section demonstrates the usability of the connection-oriented YANG OAM data model to various connection-oriented OAM technologies, e.g., TRILL and MPLS-TP. Note that, in this section, we only present several snippets of technology-specific model extensions for illustrative purposes. The complete model extensions should be worked on in respective protocol working groups.
7.1. Generic YANG Data Model Extension for TRILL OAM
-
The TRILL OAM YANG module [TRILL-YANG-OAM] is augmenting the connection-oriented OAM module for both configuration and RPC commands.
In addition,the TRILL OAM YANG module also requires the base TRILL module ([TRILL-YANG]) to be supported, as there is a strong relationship between those modules.
The configuration extensions for connection-oriented OAM include the MD configuration extension, technology type extension, MA configuration extension, Connectivity-Context extension, MEP Configuration extension, and ECMP extension. In the RPC extension, the continuity-check and path-discovery RPC are extended with TRILL- specific parameters.
7.1.1. MD Configuration Extension
-
MD level configuration parameters are management information that can be inherited in the TRILL OAM model and set by the connection- oriented base model as default values. For example, domain name can be set to area-ID in the TRILL OAM case. In addition, at the Maintenance Domain Level (i.e., at root level), the domain data node can be augmented with technology type.
Note that MD level configuration parameters provide context information for the management system to correlate faults, defects, and network failures with location information; this helps quickly identify root causes of network failures.
7.1.1.1. Technology Type Extension
-
No TRILL technology type has been defined in the connection-oriented base model. Therefore, a technology type extension is required in the TRILL OAM model. The technology type "trill" is defined as an identity that augments the base "technology-types" defined in the connection-oriented base model:
identity trill{ base co-oam:technology-types; description "trill type"; }
7.1.2. MA Configuration Extension
-
MA level configuration parameters are management information that can be inherited in the TRILL OAM model and set by the connection- oriented base model as default values. In addition, at the Maintenance Association (MA) level (i.e., at the second level), the MA data node can be augmented with a connectivity-context extension.
Note that MA level configuration parameters provide context information for the management system to correlate faults, defects, and network failures with location information; this helps quickly identify root causes of network failures.
7.1.2.1. Connectivity-Context Extension
-
In TRILL OAM, one example of connectivity-context is either a 12-bit VLAN ID or a 24-bit Fine-Grained Label. The connection-oriented base model defines a placeholder for context-id. This allows other technologies to easily augment that to include technology-specific extensions. The snippet below depicts an example of augmenting connectivity-context to include either a VLAN ID or Fine-Grained Label.
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain /co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:connectivity-context: +--:(connectivity-context-vlan) | +--rw connectivity-context-vlan? vlan +--:(connectivity-context-fgl) +--rw connectivity-context-fgl? fgl
7.1.3. MEP Configuration Extension
-
The MEP configuration definition in the connection-oriented base model already supports configuring the interface of MEP with either a MAC address or IP address. In addition, the MEP address can be represented using a 2-octet RBridge Nickname in TRILL OAM. Hence, the TRILL OAM model augments the MEP configuration in the base model to add a nickname case to the MEP address choice node as follows:
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain /co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep/co-oam:mep-address: +--:( mep-address-trill) | +--rw mep-address-trill? tril-rb-nicknameIn addition, at the Maintenance association End Point (MEP) level (i.e., at the third level), the MEP data node can be augmented with an ECMP extension.
7.1.3.1. ECMP Extension
-
Since TRILL supports ECMP path selection, flow-entropy in TRILL is defined as a 96-octet field in the Layer-Independent OAM Management in the Multi-Layer Environment (LIME) model extension for TRILL OAM. The snippet below illustrates its extension.
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain /co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep: +--rw flow-entropy-trill? flow-entropy-trill augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain /co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep/co-oam:session: +--rw flow-entropy-trill? flow-entropy-trill
7.1.4. RPC Extension
-
In the TRILL OAM YANG data model, the continuity-check and path- discovery RPC commands are extended with TRILL-specific requirements. The snippet below depicts an example of the TRILL OAM RPC extension.
augment /co-oam:continuity-check/co-oam:input: +--ro (out-of-band)? | +--:(ipv4-address) | | +--ro ipv4-address? inet:ipv4-address | +--:(ipv6-address) | | +--ro ipv6-address? inet:ipv6-address | +--:(trill-nickname) | +--ro trill-nickname? tril-rb-nickname +--ro diagnostic-vlan? boolean augment /co-oam:continuity-check/co-oam:input: +--ro flow-entropy-trill? flow-entropy-trill augment /co-oam:continuity-check/co-oam:output: +--ro upstream-rbridge? tril-rb-nickname +--ro next-hop-rbridge* tril-rb-nickname augment /co-oam:path-discovery/co-oam:input: +--ro (out-of-band)? | +--:(ipv4-address) | | +--ro ipv4-address? inet:ipv4-address | +--:(ipv6-address) | | +--ro ipv6-address? inet:ipv6-address | +--:(trill-nickname) | +--ro trill-nickname? tril-rb-nickname +--ro diagnostic-vlan? boolean augment /co-oam:path-discovery/co-oam:input: +--ro flow-entropy-trill? flow-entropy-trill augment /co-oam:path-discovery/co-oam:output/co-oam:response: +--ro upstream-rbridge? tril-rb-nickname +--ro next-hop-rbridge* tril-rb-nickname
7.2. Generic YANG Data Model Extension for MPLS-TP OAM
-
The MPLS-TP OAM YANG module can augment the connection-oriented OAM module with some technology-specific details. [MPLS-TP-OAM-YANG] presents the YANG data model for MPLS-TP OAM.
The configuration extensions for connection-oriented OAM include the MD configuration extension, Technology type extension, Technology Subtype extension, MA configuration extension, and MEP Configuration extension.
7.2.1. MD Configuration Extension
-
MD level configuration parameters are management information that can be inherited in the MPLS-TP OAM model and set by the connection- oriented OAM base model as default values. For example, domain name can be set to area-ID or the provider's Autonomous System Number (ASN) [RFC6370] in the MPLS-TP OAM case. In addition, at the Maintenance Domain Level (i.e., at root level), the domain data node can be augmented with technology type and technology subtype.
Note that MD level configuration parameters provide context information for the management system to correlate faults, defects, and network failures with location information; this helps quickly identify root causes of network failures
7.2.1.1. Technology Type Extension
-
No MPLS-TP technology type has been defined in the connection- oriented base model, hence it is required in the MPLS-TP OAM model. The technology type "mpls-tp" is defined as an identity that augments the base "technology-types" defined in the connection-oriented base model:
-
identity mpls-tp{
base co-oam:technology-types; description "mpls-tp type"; } -
7.2.1.2. Technology Subtype Extension
-
In MPLS-TP, since different encapsulation types such as IP/UDP encapsulation and PW-ACH encapsulation can be employed, the "technology-sub-type" data node is defined and added into the MPLS-TP OAM model to further identify the encapsulation types within the MPLS-TP OAM model. Based on it, we also define a technology subtype for IP/UDP encapsulation and PW-ACH encapsulation. Other encapsulation types can be defined in the same way. The snippet below depicts an example of several encapsulation types.
identity technology-sub-type {
-
-
description
"Certain implementations can have differentencapsulation types such as IP/UDP, PW-ACH, and so on. Instead of defining separate models for each encapsulation, we define a technology subtype to further identify different encapsulations. Technology subtype is associated at the MA level."; }
-
identity technology-sub-type-udp { base technology-sub-type; description "Technology subtype is IP/UDP encapsulation."; } identity technology-sub-type-ach { base technology-sub-type; description "Technology subtype is PW-ACH encapsulation."; } }-
-
augment "/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain"
-
+ "/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma" { leaf technology-sub-type { type identityref { base technology-sub-type; } } }
7.2.2. MA Configuration Extension
-
MA level configuration parameters are management information that can be inherited in the MPLS-TP OAM model and set by the connection- oriented OAM base model as default values. Examples of MA Name are MPLS-TP LSP MEG_ID, MEG Section ID, or MEG PW ID [RFC6370].
Note that MA level configuration parameters provide context information for the management system to correlate faults, defects, and network failures with location information; this helps quickly identify root causes of network failures.
7.2.3. MEP Configuration Extension
-
In MPLS-TP, MEP-ID is either a variable-length label value in case of G-ACH encapsulation or a 2-octet unsigned integer value in case of IP/UDP encapsulation. One example of MEP-ID is MPLS-TP LSP_MEP_ID
[RFC6370]. In the connection-oriented base model, MEP-ID is defined as a choice/case node that can support an int32 value, and the same definition can be used for MPLS-TP with no further modification. In addition, at the Maintenance association End Point (MEP) level (i.e., at the third level), the MEP data node can be augmented with a session extension and interface extension.
8. Security Considerations
-
The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data that 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 [RFC8446].
The Network Configuration Access Control Model [RFC8341] 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 the YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive 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:
/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/ /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep/ co-oam:session
Unauthorized access to any of these lists can adversely affect OAM management system handling of end-to-end OAM and coordination of OAM within underlying network layers. This may lead to inconsistent configuration, reporting, and presentation for the OAM mechanisms used to manage the network.
9. IANA Considerations
-
This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. The following registration has been made:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-connection-oriented-oam Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020].
name: ietf-connection-oriented-oam namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-connection-oriented-oam prefix: co-oam reference: RFC 8531
