A YANG Data Model for MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels

Abstract

This document defines a YANG data model for the configuration and management of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels, Label Switched Paths (LSPs) and interfaces. The model augments the TE generic YANG model for MPLS packet dataplane technology.

This model covers data for configuration, operational state, remote procedural calls, and event notifications.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

YANG [RFC6020] and [RFC7950] is a data modeling language used to define the contents of a conceptual data store that allows networked devices to be managed using NETCONF [RFC6241]. YANG has proved relevant beyond its initial confines, as bindings to other interfaces (e.g. RESTCONF [RFC8040]) and encoding other than XML (e.g. JSON) are being defined. Furthermore, YANG data models can be used as the basis of implementation for other interfaces, such as CLI and programmatic APIs.

This document describes the YANG data model for configuration and management of MPLS TE tunnels, LSPs, and interfaces. Other YANG module(s) that model the establishment of MPLS LSP(s) via signaling protocols such as RSVP-TE ([RFC3209], [RFC3473]) are described in separate document(s).

1.1. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950].

1.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names

In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG imported modules, as shown in Table 1.

2. MPLS TE YANG Model

The MPLS TE YANG model covers the configuration, state, RPC and notifications data pertaining to MPLS TE interfaces, tunnels and LSPs parameters. The data specific to the signaling protocol used to establish MPLS LSP(s) is outside the scope of this document and is covered in other documents.

2.1. Module(s) Relationship

The MPLS TE YANG module "ietf-te-mpls" imports the following modules:

This module references the following documents: [RFC8233], [RFC4710], [RFC8570], and [RFC4124].

3. IANA Considerations

This document registers the following URIs in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registration is requested to be made.

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-te-mpls
   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-te-mpls
   namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-te-mpls
   prefix:     ietf-te-mpls
   reference:  RFC3209

4. 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 mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.

A number of data nodes defined in this YANG module 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 MPLS network operations. Following are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

"/te/tunnels": The augmentation to this list specifies configuration to TE tunnels on a device. Unauthorized access to this list could cause the device to ignore packets it should receive and process.

"/te/globals": The augmentation to this target specifies configuration applicable to the to all or one TE device. Unauthorized access to this list could cause the device to ignore packets it should receive and process.
