Babel Information Model
draft-ietf-babel-information-model-11
Abstract
This Babel Information Model provides structured data elements for a
Babel implementation reporting its current state and may allow
limited configuration of some such data elements. This information
model can be used as a basis for creating data models under various
data modeling regimes.

1. Introduction
Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol defined in
[I-D.ietf-babel-rfc6126bis]. [I-D.ietf-babel-hmac] defines a
security mechanism that allows Babel packets to be cryptographically
authenticated, and [I-D.ietf-babel-dtls] defines a security mechanism
that allows Babel packets to be encrypted. This document describes
an information model for Babel (including implementations using one
or both of these security mechanisms) that can be used to create
management protocol data models (such as a NETCONF [RFC6241] YANG
[RFC7950] data model.
Due to the simplicity of the Babel protocol, most of the information
model is focused on reporting Babel protocol operational state, and
very little of that is considered mandatory to implement for an
implementation claiming compliance with this information model. Some
parameters may be configurable. However, it is up to the Babel
