        A YANG Data Model for Optical Transport Network Topology
                   draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-topo-yang-01

Abstract

   A transport network is a server-layer network designed to provide
   connectivity services for a client-layer network to carry the client
   traffic transparently across the server-layer network resources.  A
   transport network can be constructed from equipments utilizing any of
   a number of different transport technologies such as the evolving
   Optical Transport Networks (OTN) or packet transport as provided by
   the MPLS-Transport Profile (MPLS-TP).

   This document describes a YANG data model to describe the topologies
   of an Optical Transport Network (OTN).  It is independent of control
   plane protocols and captures topological and resource related
   information pertaining to OTN.  This model enables clients, which
   interact with a transport domain controller via a REST interface, for
   OTN topology related operations such as obtaining the relevant
   topology resource information.

1.  Introduction

   A transport network is a server-layer network designed to provide
   connectivity services for a client-layer network to carry the client
   traffic transparently across the server-layer network resources.  A
   transport network can be constructed of equipments utilizing any of a
   number of different transport technologies such as the Optical

   Transport Networks (OTN) or packet transport as provided by the MPLS-
   Transport Profile (MPLS-TP).

   This document defines a data model of an OTN network topology, using
   YANG [RFC7950].  The model can be used by an application exposing to
   a transport controller via a REST interface.  Furthermore, it can be
   used by an application for the following purposes (but not limited
   to):

   o  To obtain a whole view of the network topology information of its
      interest;

   o  To receive notifications with regard to the information change of
      the OTN topology;

   o  To enforce the establishment and update of a network topology with
      the characteristic specified in the data model, e.g., by a client
      controller;

   The YANG model defined in this document is independent of control
   plane protocols and captures topology related information pertaining
   to an Optical Transport Networks (OTN)-electrical layer, as the scope
   specified by [RFC7062] and [RFC7138].  Furthermore, it is not a
   stand-alone model, but augmenting from the TE topology YANG model
   defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo].

   Optical network technologies, including fixed Dense Wavelength
   Switched Optical Network (WSON) and flexible optical networks
   (a.k.a., flexi-grid networks), are covered in
   [I-D.ietf-ccamp-wson-yang] and [I-D.vergara-ccamp-flexigrid-yang],
   respectively.

2.  Terminology and Notations

   A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
   this document.  The meaning of the symbols in the YANG data tree
   presented later in this document is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams].  They are provided below for
   reference.

   o  Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.

   o  Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
      (read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only).

   o  Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
      means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.

   o  Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
      marked with a colon (":").

   o  Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
      shown.

3.2.  Explanation of the OTN Topology Data Model

   As can be seen, from the data tree shown in Section 3.1, the YANG
   module presented in this document augments from a more generic
   Traffic Engineered (TE) network topology data model, i.e., the ietf-
   te-topology.yang as specified in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo].  The
   entities and their attributes, such as node, termination points and

Zheng, et al.            Expires March 18, 2018                 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft           OTN Topology YANG Model          September 2017

   links, are still applicable for describing an OTN topology and the
   model presented in this document only specifies with technology-
   specific attributes/information.  For example, if the data plane
   complies with ITU-T G.709 (2012) standards, the switching-capability
   and encoding attributes MUST be filled as OTN-TDM and G.709
   ODUk(Digital Path) respectively.

   Note the model in this document re-uses some attributes defined in
   ietf-transport-types.yang, which is specified in
   [I-D.ietf-ccamp-otn-tunnel-model].

   One of the main augmentations in this model is that it allows to
   specify the type of ODU container and the number a link can support
   per priority level.  For example, for a ODU3 link, it may advertise
   32*ODU0, 16*ODU1, 4*ODU2 available, assuming only a single priority
   level is supported.  If one of ODU2 resource is taken to establish a
   ODU path, then the availability of this ODU link is updated as
   24*ODU0, 12*ODU1, 3*ODU2 available.  If there are equipment hardware
   limitations, then a subset of potential ODU type SHALL be advertised.
   For instance, an ODU3 link may only support 4*ODU2.

4.  IANA Considerations

   TBD.

5.  Manageability Considerations

   TBD.

6.  Security Considerations

   The data following the model defined in this document is exchanged
   via, for example, the interface between an orchestrator and a
   transport network controller.  The security concerns mentioned in

Zheng, et al.            Expires March 18, 2018                [Page 11]
Internet-Draft           OTN Topology YANG Model          September 2017

   [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo] for using ietf-te-topology.yang model
   also applies to this document.

   The YANG module defined in this document can be accessed via the
   RESTCONF protocol defined in [RFC8040], or maybe via the NETCONF
   protocol [RFC6241].

   There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which 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., POST) to these
   data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.

   Editors note: to list specific subtrees and data nodes and their
   sensitivity/vulnerability.
