Introduction This document introduces a YANG [RFC7950] [RFC6991] data model for Layer 3 network topologies, specifically Layer 3 Unicast. The model allows an application to have a holistic view of the topology of a Layer 3 network, all contained in a single conceptual YANG datastore. The data model builds on top of, and augments, the data model for network topologies defined in [I-D.draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo]. This document also shows how the model can be further refined to cover different Layer 3 Unicast topology types. For this purpose, an example model is introduced that covers OSPF [RFC2328]. This example is intended purely for illustrative purpose; we expect that a complete OSPF model will be more comprehensive and refined than the example shown here. Clemm, et al. Expires June 19, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-16.txt December 2017 There are multiple applications for a topology data model. A number of use cases have been defined in section 6 of [I-D.draft-ietf-i2rs-usecase-reqs-summary]. For example, nodes within the network can use the data model to capture their understanding of the overall network topology and expose it to a network controller. A network controller can then use the instantiated topology data to compare and reconcile its own view of the network topology with that of the network elements that it controls. Alternatively, nodes within the network could propagate this understanding to compare and reconcile this understanding either amongst themselves or with help of a controller. Beyond the network element itself, a network controller might even use the data model to represent its view of the topology that it controls and expose it to applications north of itself. The data model for Layer 3 Unicast topologies defined in this document is specified in a YANG module "ietf-l3-unicast-topology". To do so, it augments the general network topology model defined in [I-D.draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo] with information specific to Layer 3 Unicast. This way, the general topology model is extended to be able to meet the needs of Layer 3 Unicast topologies. Information that is kept in the Traffic Engineering Database (TED) will be specified in a separate model [I-D.draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-topo] and outside the scope of this specification. 2. Key Words 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. 3. Definitions and Acronyms As this document defines a YANG data model, in this document many terms are used that have been defined in conjunction with YANG [RFC7950] and NETCONF [RFC6241]. Some terms, such as datastore and data tree, are repeated here for clarity and to put them in context. Datastore: A conceptual place to store and access information. A datastore might be implemented, for example, using files, a database, flash memory locations, or combinations thereof. A datastore maps to an instantiated YANG data tree. (Definition adopted from [I-D.draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores]) Clemm, et al. Expires June 19, 2018 [Page 3] Internet-Draft draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-16.txt December 2017 Data subtree: An instantiated data node and the data nodes that are hierarchically contained within it.

Model Structure The Layer 3 Unicast topology model is defined by YANG module "l3- unicast-topology". The relationship of this module with other YANG modules is roughly depicted in the figure below. Clemm, et al. Expires June 19, 2018 [Page 4] Internet-Draft draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-16.txt December 2017 +-----------------------------+ | +-----------------------+ | | | ietf-network | | | +----------^------------+ | | | | | +-----------------------+ | | | ietf-network-topology | | | +----------+------------+ | +-------------^---------------+ | | +------------^-------------+ | ietf-l3-unicast-topology | +------------^-------------+ | | +-----------^-----------+ | example-ospf-topology | +-----------------------+ Figure 1: Overall model structure YANG modules "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" collectively define the basic network topology model [I-D.draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo]. YANG module "ietf-l3- unicast-topology" augments those models with additional definitions needed to represent Layer 3 Unicast topologies. This module in turn can be augmented by YANG modules with additional definitions for specific types of Layer 3 Unicast topologies, such as OSPF and for IS-IS topologies. The YANG modules ietf-network and ietf-network-topology are designed to be used in conjunction with implementations that support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [I-D.draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores]. Accordingly, the same is true for the YANG modules that augment it. In order to allow implementations to use the model even in cases when NMDA is not supported, companion YANG modules (that SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations that support NMDA) are defined in an Appendix, see Appendix A. 5. Layer 3 Unicast Topology Model Overview The Layer 3 Unicast topology model is defined by YANG module "ietf- l3-unicast-topology". Its structure is depicted in the following diagram. The notation syntax follows [I-D.draft-ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams]. For purposes of brevity, notifications are not depicted. Clemm, et al.

The corresponding container augments the network-types of the ietf-network module. o Additional topology attributes are introduced, defined in a grouping, which augments the "network" list of the network module. The attributes include a name for the topology, as well as a set of flags (represented through a leaf-list). Each type of flag is represented by a separate identity. This allows to introduce additional flags in augmenting modules using additional identities without needing to revise this module. Clemm, et al. Expires June 19, 2018 [Page 6] Internet-Draft draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-16.txt December 2017 o Additional data objects for nodes are introduced by augmenting the "node" list of the network module. New objects include again a set of flags, as well as a list of prefixes. Each prefix in turn includes an ip prefix, a metric, and a prefix-specific set of flags. o Links (in the ietf-network-topology module) are augmented with a set of parameters as well, allowing to associate a link with a link name, another set of flags, and a link metric. o Termination points (in the ietf-network-topology module as well) are augmented with a choice of IP address, identifier, or name. In addition, the module defines a set of notifications to alert clients of any events concerning links, nodes, prefixes, and termination points. Each notification includes an indication of the type of event, the topology from which it originated, and the affected node, or link, or prefix, or termination point. In addition, as a convenience to applications, additional data of the affected node, or link, or termination point (respectively) is included. While this makes notifications larger in volume than they would need to be, it avoids the need for subsequent retrieval of context information, which also might have changed in the meantime. 6.

Interactions with Other YANG Modules As described in section Section 4, the model builds on top of, and augments, the YANG modules defined in [I-D.draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo]. Specifically, module ietf- l3-unicast-topology augments modules "ietf-network" and "ietf- network-topology". In addition, the model makes use of data types that have been defined in [RFC6991]. The model defines a protocol independent YANG data model with layer 3 topology information. It is separate from and not linked with data models that are used to configure routing protocols or routing information. This includes e.g. model "ietf-routing" [RFC8022] and model "ietf-fb-rib" [I-D.draft-acee-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend]. That said, the model does import a type definition from model "ietf- routing-types" [RFC8294]. The model obeys the requirements for the ephemeral state found in the document [RFC8242]. For ephemeral topology data that is server provided, the process tasked with maintaining topology information will load information from the routing process (such as OSPF) into the data model without relying on a configuration datastore. 8.

Security Considerations The YANG module defined in this document 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 [RFC5246]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] 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. In general, Layer 3 Unicast topologies are system-controlled and provide ephemeral topology information. In an NMDA-complient server, they are only part of <operational> which provides read-only access to clients, they are less vulnerable. That said, the YANG module does in principle allow information to be configurable. There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that 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 network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability in the ietf-network module: l3-topology-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of any of the ctonained attributes, i.e. the name or the flag data nodes. l3-node-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of important node attributes, such as the router-id or node prefix. l3-link-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of important link attributes, such as name, flag, and metrics of the link respectively corresponding data nodes. Clemm, et al. Expires June 19, 2018 [Page 16] Internet-Draft draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-16.txt December 2017 l3-termination-point-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration information of a termination point, such as its ip-address and interface name, respectively the corresponding data nodes. 10.

Companion YANG model for non-NMDA compliant implementations The YANG module ietf-l3-unicast-topology defined in this document augments two modules, ietf-network and ietf-network-topology, that are designed to be used in conjunction with implementations that support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [I-D.draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores]. In order to allow implementations to use the model even in cases when NMDA is not supported, a set of companion modules have been defined that represent a state model of networks and network topologies, ietf- network-state and ietf-network-topology-state, respectively. In order to be able to use the model for layer 3 topologies defined in this in this document in conjunction with non-NMDA compliant implementations, a corresponding companion module needs to be introduced as well. This companion module, ietf-l3-unicast-topology- state, mirrors ietf-l3-unicast-topology. However, the module augments ietf-network-state and ietf-network-topology-state (instead of ietf-network and ietf-network-topology) and all of its data nodes are non-configurable. Similar considerations apply for any modules that augment ietf-l3- unicast-topology, such as the example modules defined in see Appendix B, example-ospf-topology. For non-NMDA compliant implementations, companion modules will need to be introduced that represent state information and are non-configurable, augmenting ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state instead of ietf-l3-unicast-topology. Because they served as examples only, companion modules for those examples are not given. Like ietf-network-state and ietf-network-topology-state, ietf-l3- unicast-topology SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations that support NMDA. It is for this reason that the module is defined in the Appendix. The definition of the module follows below. As the structure of the module mirrors that of its underlying module, the YANG tree is not depicted separately. <CODE BEGINS> file "ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state@2017-12-16.yang" module ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l3-unicast-topology-state"; prefix "l3t-s"; import ietf-network-state { prefix "nw-s"; } Clemm, et al.

Extending the Model The model can be extended for specific Layer 3 Unicast types. Examples include OSPF and IS-IS topologies. In the following, one additional YANG module is introduced that define simple topology model for OSPF. This module is intended to serve as an example that illustrates how the general topology model can be refined across multiple levels. It does not constitute full-fledged OSPF topology model which may be more comprehensive and refined than the model that is described here. B.1. Example OSPF Topology B.1.1. Model Overview The following model shows how the Layer 3 Unicast topology model can be extended, in this case to cover OSFP topologies. For this purpose, a set of augmentations are introduced in a separate YANG module, "example-ospf-topology", whose structure is depicted in the following diagram. As before, the notation syntax follows [I-D.draft-ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams]. Clemm, et al.

The attributes include an OSPF area-id identifying the OSPF area. Clemm, et al. Expires June 19, 2018 [Page 25] Internet-Draft draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-16.txt December 2017 o Additional data objects for nodes are introduced by augmenting the l3-node-attributes of the l3-unicast-topology module. New objects include router-type and dr-interface-id for pseudonodes. o Links are augmented with ospf link attributes. In addition, the module extends notifications for events concerning Layer 3 nodes and links with OSPF attributes. It should be noted that the model defined here represents topology and is intended as an example. It does not define how to configure OSPF routers or interfaces. B.1.2. OSPF Topology YANG Module The OSPF Topology YANG Module is specified below. As mentioned, the module is intended as an example for how the Layer 3 Unicast topology model can be extended to cover OSFP topologies, but it is not normative.

The example instantiates ietf-l3-unicast- topology for the topology that is depicted in the following diagram. There are three nodes, D1, D2, and D3. D1 has three termination points, 1-0-1, 1-2-1, and 1-3-1. D2 has three termination points as well, 2-1-1, 2-0-1, and 2-3-1. D3 has two termination points, 3-1-1 and 3-2-1. In addition there are six links, two between each pair of nodes with one going in each direction. Clemm, et al.
