1. Introduction
This document defines a data model for The Babel Routing Protocol
[RFC8966]. The data model is defined using YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] and is
Network Management Datastore Architecture (NDMA) [RFC8342]
compatible. It is based on the Babel Information Model [RFC9046].
The data model only includes data nodes that are useful for managing
Babel over IPv6.
1.1. Note to RFC Editor
Artwork in this document contains shorthand references to drafts in
progress. Please apply the following replacements and remove this
note before publication.

1.2. Tree Diagram Annotations
For a reference to the annotations used in tree diagrams included in
this draft, please see YANG Tree Diagrams [RFC8340].
2. Babel Module
This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] data model for the
configuration and management of Babel. The YANG module is based on
the Babel Information Model [RFC9046].
2.1. Information Model
There are a few things that should be noted between the Babel
Information Model and this data module. The information model
mandates the definition of some of the attributes, e.g., 'babel-
implementation-version' or the 'babel-self-router-id'. These
attributes are marked as read-only objects in the information module
as well as in this data module. However, there is no way in the data
module to mandate that a read-only attribute be present. It is up to
the implementation of this data module to make sure that the
attributes that are marked read-only and are mandatory are indeed
present.
2.2. Tree Diagram
The following diagram illustrates a top level hierarchy of the model.
In addition to the version implemented by this device, the model
contains subtrees on 'constants', 'interfaces', 'mac-key-set',
'dtls', and 'routes'.

+--rw mac-key-set* [name]

+--rw dtls* [name]

+--ro routes* [prefix]
...
The 'interfaces' subtree describes attributes such as the 'interface'
object that is being referenced, the type of link, e.g., wired,
wireless or tunnel, as enumerated by 'metric-algorithm' and 'split-
horizon' and whether the interface is enabled or not.
The 'constants' subtree describes the UDP port used for sending and
receiving Babel messages, and the multicast group used to send and
receive announcements on IPv6.
The 'routes' subtree describes objects such as the prefix for which
the route is advertised, a reference to the neighboring route, and
'next-hop' address.
Finally, for security two subtrees are defined to contain MAC keys
and DTLS certificates. The 'mac-key-set' subtree contains keys used
with the MAC security mechanism. The boolean flag 'default-apply'
indicates whether the set of MAC keys is automatically applied to new
interfaces. The 'dtls' subtree contains certificates used with DTLS
security mechanism. Similar to the MAC mechanism, the boolean flag
'default-apply' indicates whether the set of DTLS certificates is
automatically applied to new interfaces.

2.3. YANG Module
This YANG module augments the YANG Routing Management [RFC8349]
module to provide a common framework for all routing subsystems. By
augmenting the module it provides a common building block for routes,
and Routing Information Bases (RIBs). It also has a reference to an
interface defined by A YANG Data Model for Interface Management
[RFC8343].
A router running Babel routing protocol can sometimes determine the
parameters it needs to use for an interface based on the interface
name. For example, it can detect that eth0 is a wired interface, and
that wlan0 is a wireless interface. This is not true for a tunnel
interface, where the link parameters need to be configured
explicitly.
For a wired interface, it will assume 'two-out-of-three' for 'metric-
algorithm', and 'split-horizon' set to true. On the other hand, for
a wireless interface it will assume 'etx' for 'metric-algorithm', and
'split-horizon' set to false. However, if the wired link is
connected to a wireless radio, the values can be overriden by setting
'metric-algorithm' to 'etx', and 'split-horizon' to false.
Similarly, an interface that is a metered 3G link, and used for
fallback connectivity needs much higher default time constants, e.g.,
'mcast-hello-interval', and 'update-interval', in order to avoid
carrying control traffic as much as possible.
In addition to the modules used above, this module imports
definitions from Common YANG Data Types [RFC6991], and references
HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication [RFC2104], Using
HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 with IPsec [RFC4868],
The Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Version 1.3
[I-D.ietf-tls-dtls13], The Blake2 Cryptographic Hash and Message
Authentication Code (MAC) [RFC7693], Babel Information Model
[RFC9046], The Babel Routing Protocol [RFC8966], YANG Data Types and
Groupings for Cryptography [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types], Network
Configuration Access Control Model [RFC8341] and MAC Authentication
for Babel [RFC8967].

3. IANA Considerations
This document registers a URI and a YANG module.
3.1. URI Registrations
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
3.2. YANG Module Name Registration
This document registers a YANG module in the YANG Module Names
registry YANG [RFC6020].
Name:ietf-babel
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
prefix: babel
reference: RFC XXXX
4. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocol such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer
is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and
the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM [RFC8341]) provides the means
to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured
subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.
The security considerations outlined here are specific to the YANG
data model, and do not cover security considerations of the Babel
protocol or its security mechanisms in The Babel Routing Protocol
[RFC8966], MAC Authentication for the Babel Routing Protocol
[RFC8967], and Babel Routing Protocol over Data Transport Layer
Security [RFC8968]. Each of these has its own Security
Considerations section for considerations that are specific to it.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are
writable/created/deleted (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 from a config true perspective:
Jethanandani & Stark Expires 26 March 2022 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model September 2021
'babel': This container includes an 'enable' parameter that can be
used to enable or disable use of Babel on a router
'babel/constants': This container includes configuration parameters
that can prevent reachability if misconfigured.
'babel/interfaces': This leaf-list has configuration parameters that
can enable/disable security mechanisms and change performance
characteristics of the Babel protocol. For example, enabling logging
of packets and giving unintended access to the log files gives an
attacker detailed knowledge of the network, and allows it to launch
an attack on the traffic traversing the network device.
'babel/hmac' and 'babel/dtls': These contain security credentials
that influence whether incoming packets are trusted, and whether
outgoing packets are produced in a way such that the receiver will
treat them as trusted.
Some of the readable data or config false nodes in this YANG module
may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via
get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the
subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability from a
config false perpective:
'babel': Access to the information in the various nodes can disclose
the network topology. Additionally, the routes used by a network
device may be used to mount a subsequent attack on traffic traversing
the network device.
'babel/hmac' and 'babel/dtls': These contain security credentials,
including private credentials of the router; however it is required
that these values not be readable.
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability from a RPC operation
perspective:
This model defines two actions. Resetting the statistics within an
interface container would be visible to any monitoring processes,
which should be designed to account for the possibility of such a
reset. The "test" action allows for validation that a MAC key and
MAC algorithm have been properly configured. The MAC key is a
sensitive piece of information, and it is important to prevent an
attacker that does not know the MAC key from being able to determine
the MAC value by trying different input parameters. The "test"
Jethanandani & Stark Expires 26 March 2022 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model September 2021
action has been designed to not reveal such information directly.
Such information might also be revealed indirectly, due to side
channels such as the time it takes to produce a response to the
action. Implementations SHOULD use a constant-time comparison
between the input mac and the locally generated MAC value for
comparison, in order to avoid such side channel leakage.

A.2. Statistics Gathering Enabled
In this example, interface eth0 is being configured for routing
protocol Babel, and statistics gathering is enabled. For security,
HMAC-SHA256 is supported. Every sent Babel packets is signed with
the key value provided, and every received Babel packet is verified
with the same key value.

automatically detect that eth0 is wired and wlan0 is wireless, and
will configure the right parameters automatically.

A.4. Override Default Properties
<!-- In this example, babeld is configured on three interfaces
interface eth0
interface eth1 type wireless
interface tun0 type tunnel
Here, interface eth1 is an Ethernet bridged to a wireless radio, so
babeld's autodetection fails, and the interface type needs to be
configured manually. Tunnels are not detected automatically, so this
needs to be specified.
This is equivalent to the following:
interface eth0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true
interface eth1 metric-algorithm etx split-horizon false
interface tun0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true

interface ppp0 hello-interval 30 update-interval 120

with much higher than default time constants in order to avoid control
traffic as much as possible.
