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

Internet-Draft IS-IS PICS YANG April 2026
Operators may find it useful to know what aspects of a protocol are
implemented by a given node in their network. Historically this
information has been provided in a Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement (PICS) which is available as an offline
document. (An example of PICS for IS-IS can be found in [ISO10589]
Section 12.) However, there is no reason why this information could
not be provided via YANG - which is what this document defines. This
allows an operator to query nodes in real time as to what protocol
features are supported. This in turn can assist with avoiding (or at
least diagnosing) interoperability problems and/or determining when a
feature can be safely deployed.
The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] [RFC8174].
2. Tree Diagrams
This document uses the graphical representation of data models
defined in [RFC8340].
3. Design of the Model
3.1. IANA IS-IS PICS YANG Module
A new IANA registry will be created for IS-IS PICS, which maintains
the list of RFCs that support IS-IS PICS.
Module iana-isis-pics.yang is the initial version for IS-IS PICS
identity type definitions.
When a new identity is added to the "IS-IS PICS" registry, the iana-
isis-pics YANG module is updated by IANA.
3.2. IS-IS PICS YANG Module
Module ietf-isis-pics.yang is a device model and designed to query a
node with IS-IS PICS status.
The leaf-list of "isis-pics" lists all the supported PICS that
defined in the iana-isis-pics module.

The container "isis-pics-mptlv" is a place holder and meant to be
augmented by individual RFC PICS module with multi-part tlv support.

6. Security Considerations
The YANG modules defined in this document are designed to be accessed
via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and
RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have to use a secure transport
layer (e.g., SSH [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and
have to use mutual authentication.
The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
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.
Some of the readable data nodes in the ietf-isis-pics.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.
7. IANA Considerations
7.1. Registering YANG Modules
This document registers URIs in the IETF XML registry as defined in
[RFC3688]. The following registrations are requested to be made:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-isis-pics
Registrant Contact: IANA.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
Qu, et al. Expires 25 October 2026 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft IS-IS PICS YANG April 2026
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-isis-pics
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers the following two YANG module in the "YANG
Module Names" registry [RFC6020].
name: iana-isis-pics
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-isis-pics
prefix: iana-isis-pics
reference: RFC XXXX
name: ietf-isis-pics
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-isis-pics
prefix: isis-pics
reference: RFC XXXX
7.2. IANA ISIS-PICS Module
This document defines the initial version of the IANA-maintained
iana-isis-pics YANG module.
The document requests IANA to create a "IS-IS PICS" registry, and
iana-isis-pics YANG module is intended to reflect the the registry.
When a IS-IS PICS moduel is published, it MUST define how a new
"identity" statement should be added to the iana-isis-pics module.
The following guidlines should be followed.
The name of the "identity" is "isis-pics-" plus the lowercase of the
RFC name abbreviation. The "identity" statement should have the
following substatements defined:
"base": contains the value of "isis-pics".
"description": contains "The identity for IS-IS PICS support of
xxxx.", replace the "xxxx" with the RFC information.
"reference": the corresponding RFC information.
When the iana-isis-pis YANG module is updated, a new "revision"
statement must be added in from of the existing revision statements.
8. Acknowledgements
The YANG model was developed using the suite of YANG tools written
and maintained by numerous authors.
