NETCONF Working Group K. Watsen Internet-Draft Watsen Networks Intended status: Standards Track M. Scharf Expires: 17 September 2024 Hochschule Esslingen 16 March 2024 YANG Groupings for TCP Clients and TCP Servers draft-ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server-24 Abstract This document presents three YANG 1.1 modules to support the configuration of TCP clients and TCP servers. The modules include basic parameters of a TCP connection relevant for client or server applications, as well as client configuration required for traversing proxies. The modules can be used either standalone or in conjunction with configuration of other stack protocol layers. Editorial Note (To be removed by RFC Editor) This draft contains placeholder values that need to be replaced with finalized values at the time of publication. This note summarizes all of the substitutions that are needed. No other RFC Editor instructions are specified elsewhere in this document. Artwork in this document contains shorthand references to drafts in progress. Please apply the following replacements: * AAAA --> the assigned RFC value for draft-ietf-netconf-crypto- types * DDDD --> the assigned RFC value for this draft Artwork in this document contains placeholder values for the date of publication of this draft. Please apply the following replacement: * 2024-03-16 --> the publication date of this draft The "Relation to other RFCs" section Section 1.1 contains the text "one or more YANG modules" and, later, "modules". This text is sourced from a file in a context where it is unknown how many modules a draft defines. The text is not wrong as is, but it may be improved by stating more directly how many modules are defined. Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 1] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 The "Relation to other RFCs" section Section 1.1 contains a self- reference to this draft, along with a corresponding reference in the Appendix. Please replace the self-reference in this section with "This RFC" (or similar) and remove the self-reference in the "Normative/Informative References" section, whichever it is in. Tree-diagrams in this draft may use the '\' line-folding mode defined in RFC 8792. However, nicer-to-the-eye is when the '\\' line-folding mode is used. The AD suggested suggested putting a request here for the RFC Editor to help convert "ugly" '\' folded examples to use the '\\' folding mode. "Help convert" may be interpreted as, identify what looks ugly and ask the authors to make the adjustment. The following Appendix section is to be removed prior to publication: * Appendix A.

Introduction This document defines three YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules to support the configuration of TCP clients and TCP servers (TCP is defined in [RFC9293]), either as standalone or in conjunction with configuration of other stack protocol layers. The modules focus on three different types of base TCP parameters that matter for TCP-based applications: First, the modules cover fundamental configuration of a TCP client or TCP server application, such as addresses and port numbers. Second, a reusable grouping enables modification of application-specific parameters for a TCP connections, such as use of TCP keep-alives. And third, client configuration for traversing proxies is included as well. In each case, the modules have a very narrow scope and focus on a minimum set of required parameters. Please be advised that while this document presents support for some TCP proxy techniques, there are other TCP proxy techniques that are not part of this document, but could be added by augmenting the YANG module. 1.1. Relation to other RFCs This document presents one or more YANG modules [RFC7950] that are part of a collection of RFCs that work together to, ultimately, support the configuration of both the clients and servers of both the NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols. The dependency relationship between the primary YANG groupings defined in the various RFCs is presented in the below diagram. In some cases, a draft may define secondary groupings that introduce dependencies not illustrated in the diagram. The labels in the diagram are a shorthand name for the defining RFC. The citation reference for shorthand name is provided below the diagram. Please note that the arrows in the diagram point from referencer to referenced. For example, the "crypto-types" RFC does not have any dependencies, whilst the "keystore" RFC depends on the "crypto-types" RFC.

Specification Language 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. 1.3. Adherence to the NMDA This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. It does not define any protocol accessible nodes that are "config false". 2. The "ietf-tcp-common" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-tcp-common". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 2.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples (Section 2.2). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 2.3. 2.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tcp-common" module in terms of its features and groupings. 2.1.1. Model Scope This document presents a common "grouping" statement for basic TCP connection parameters that matter to applications. It is "common" in that this grouping is used by both the "ietf-tcp-client" and "ietf- tcp-server" modules. In some TCP stacks, such parameters can also directly be set by an application using system calls, such as the sockets API. The base YANG model in this document focuses on modeling TCP keep-alives. This base model can be extended as needed. 2.1.2. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-tcp-common" module: Features: +-- keepalives-supported The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 2.1.3. Groupings The "ietf-tcp-common" module defines the following "grouping" statement: * tcp-common-grouping This grouping is presented in the following subsection. 2.1.3.1. The "tcp-common-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tcp-common- grouping" grouping: grouping tcp-common-grouping: +-- keepalives! {keepalives-supported}? +-- idle-time? uint16 +-- max-probes? uint16 +-- probe-interval? uint16 Comments: * The "keepalives" node is a "presence" container so that the mandatory descendant nodes do not imply that keepalives must be configured. * The "idle-time", "max-probes", and "probe-interval" nodes have the common meanings. Please see the YANG module in Section 2.3 for details. 2.1.4. Protocol-accessible Nodes The "ietf-tcp-common" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus this module, when implemented, does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes. 2.1.5. Guidelines for Configuring TCP Keep-Alives Network stacks may include "keep-alives" in their TCP implementations, although this practice is not universally implemented. If keep-alives are included, [RFC9293] mandates that the application MUST be able to turn them on or off for each TCP connection, and that they MUST default to off. Keep-alive mechanisms exist in many protocols. Depending on the protocol stack, TCP keep-alives may only be one out of several alternatives. Which mechanism(s) to use depends on the use case and Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 application requirements. If keep-alives are needed by an application, it is RECOMMENDED that the liveness check happens only at the protocol layers that are meaningful to the application. A TCP keep-alive mechanism SHOULD only be invoked in server applications that might otherwise hang indefinitely and consume resources unnecessarily if a client crashes or aborts a connection during a network failure [RFC9293]. TCP keep-alives may consume significant resources both in the network and in endpoints (e.g., battery power). In addition, frequent keep-alives risk network congestion. The higher the frequency of keep-alives, the higher the overhead. Given the cost of keep-alives, parameters have to be configured carefully: * The default idle interval (leaf "idle-time") is two hours, i.e., 7200 seconds [RFC9293]. A lower value MAY be configured, but idle intervals SHOULD NOT be smaller than 15 seconds. Longer idle intervals SHOULD be used when possible. * The maximum number of sequential keep-alive probes that can fail (leaf "max-probes") trades off responsiveness and robustness against packet loss. ACK segments that contain no data are not reliably transmitted by TCP. Consequently, if a keep-alive mechanism is implemented it MUST NOT interpret failure to respond to any specific probe as a dead connection [RFC9293]. Typically, a single-digit number should suffice. * TCP implementations may include a parameter for the number of seconds between TCP keep-alive probes (leaf "probe-interval"). In order to avoid congestion, the time interval between probes MUST NOT be smaller than one second. Significantly longer intervals SHOULD be used. It is important to note that keep-alive probes (or replies) can get dropped due to network congestion. Sending further probe messages into a congested path after a short interval, without backing off timers, could cause harm and result in a congestion collapse. Therefore it is essential to pick a large, conservative value for this interval. 2.2. Example Usage This section presents an example showing the "tcp-common-grouping" populated with some data.

The "ietf-tcp-client" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-tcp-client". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 3.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples (Section 3.2). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 3.3. 3.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tcp-client" module in terms of its features and groupings. 3.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-tcp-client" module: Features: +-- local-binding-supported +-- tcp-client-keepalives +-- proxy-connect +-- socks4-supported {proxy-connect}? +-- socks4a-supported {proxy-connect}? +-- socks5-supported {proxy-connect}? +-- socks5-gss-api {socks5-supported}? +-- socks5-username-password {socks5-supported}? Comments: * The "local-binding-supported" feature indicates that the server supports configuring local bindings (i.e., the local address and local port) for TCP clients." * The "tcp-client-keepalives" feature indicates that per socket TCP keepalive parameters are configurable for TCP clients on the server implementing this feature. * The "proxy-connect" feature indicates the TCP-client supports connecting through TCP proxies. * The "socks4-supported" feature indicates the TCP-client supports Socks4-based proxies. * The "socks4a-supported" feature indicates the TCP-client supports Socks4a-based proxies. The difference between Socks4 and Socks4a is that Socks4a enables the "remote-address" to be specified using a hostname, in addition to an IP address. Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 * The "socks5-supported" feature indicates the TCP-client supports Socks5-based proxies. * The "socks5-gss-api" feature indicates that the server, when acting as a TCP-client, supports authenticating to a SOCKS Version 5 proxy server using GSSAPI credentials. * The "socks5-username-password" feature indicates that the server, when acting as a TCP-client, supports authenticating to a SOCKS Version 5 proxy server using 'username' and 'password' credentials." The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. 3.1.2. Groupings The "ietf-tcp-client" module defines the following "grouping" statement: * tcp-client-grouping This grouping is presented in the following subsection. 3.1.2.1. The "tcp-client-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tcp-client- grouping" grouping: Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 grouping tcp-client-grouping: +-- remote-address inet:host +-- remote-port? inet:port-number +-- local-address? inet:ip-address | {local-binding-supported}? +-- local-port? inet:port-number | {local-binding-supported}? +-- proxy-server! {proxy-connect}? | +-- (proxy-type) | +--:(socks4) {socks4-supported}? | | +-- socks4-parameters | | +-- remote-address inet:ip-address | | +-- remote-port? inet:port-number | +--:(socks4a) {socks4a-supported}? | | +-- socks4a-parameters | | +-- remote-address inet:host | | +-- remote-port? inet:port-number | +--:(socks5) {socks5-supported}? | +-- socks5-parameters | +-- remote-address inet:host | +-- remote-port? inet:port-number | +-- authentication-parameters! | +-- (auth-type) | +--:(gss-api) {socks5-gss-api}? | | +-- gss-api | +--:(username-password) | {socks5-username-password}? | +-- username-password | +-- username string | +---u ct:password-grouping +---u tcpcmn:tcp-common-grouping Comments: * The "remote-address" node, which is mandatory, may be configured as an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or a hostname. * The "remote-port" node is not mandatory, but its default value is the invalid value '0', thus forcing the consuming data model to refine it in order to provide it an appropriate default value. * The "local-address" node, which is enabled by the "local-binding- supported" feature (Section 2.1.2), may be configured as an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or a wildcard value. Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 * The "local-port" node, which is enabled by the "local-binding- supported" feature (Section 2.1.2), is not mandatory. Its default value is '0', indicating that the operating system can pick an arbitrary port number. * The "proxy-server" node is enabled by a "feature" statement and, for servers that enable it, is a "presence" container so that the descendant "mandatory true" choice node does not imply that the proxy-server node must be configured. The proxy-server node uses a "choice" statement to allow one of several types of proxies to be configured. The choices presented in this document include Socks4, Socks4a, and Socks5, each enabled by a YANG feature (see Section 3.1.1). Other proxy types may be added by future work. * This grouping uses the "password-grouping" grouping discussed in [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. * This grouping uses the "tcp-common-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.3.1. 3.1.3. Protocol-accessible Nodes The "ietf-tcp-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus this module, when implemented, does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes. 3.2. Example Usage This section presents two examples showing the "tcp-client-grouping" populated with some data. This example shows a TCP-client configured to not connect via a proxy: <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. --> <!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. --> <tcp-client xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp-client"> <remote-address>www.example.com</remote-address> <remote-port>8443</remote-port> <local-address>192.0.2.2</local-address> <local-port>12345</local-port> <keepalives> <idle-time>7200</idle-time> <max-probes>9</max-probes> <probe-interval>75</probe-interval> </keepalives> </tcp-client> Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 This example shows a TCP-client configured to connect via a proxy: <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. --> <!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. --> <tcp-client xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp-client"> <remote-address>www.example.com</remote-address> <remote-port>8443</remote-port> <local-address>192.0.2.2</local-address> <local-port>12345</local-port> <proxy-server> <socks5-parameters> <remote-address>proxy.example.com</remote-address> <remote-port>1080</remote-port> <authentication-parameters> <username-password> <username>foobar</username> <cleartext-password>secret</cleartext-password> </username-password> </authentication-parameters> </socks5-parameters> </proxy-server> <keepalives> <idle-time>7200</idle-time> <max-probes>9</max-probes> <probe-interval>75</probe-interval> </keepalives> </tcp-client> 3.3.

The "ietf-tcp-server" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-tcp-server". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 4.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples (Section 4.2). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 4.3. 4.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tcp-server" module in terms of its features and groupings. 4.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-tcp-server" module: Features: +-- tcp-server-keepalives The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. 4.1.2. Groupings The "ietf-tcp-server" module defines the following "grouping" statement: * tcp-server-grouping This grouping is presented in the following subsection. 4.1.2.1. The "tcp-server-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tcp-server- grouping" grouping: grouping tcp-server-grouping: +-- local-address inet:ip-address +-- local-port? inet:port-number +---u tcpcmn:tcp-common-grouping Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 24] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 Comments: * The "local-address" node, which is mandatory, may be configured as an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or a wildcard value. * The "local-port" node is not mandatory, but its default value is the invalid value '0', thus forcing the consuming data model to refine it in order to provide it an appropriate default value. * This grouping uses the "tcp-common-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.3.1. 4.1.3. Protocol-accessible Nodes The "ietf-tcp-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus this module, when implemented, does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes. 4.2. Example Usage This section presents an example showing the "tcp-server-grouping" populated with some data. <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. --> <!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. --> <tcp-server xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp-server"> <local-address>192.0.2.2</local-address> <local-port>49152</local-port> <keepalives> <idle-time>7200</idle-time> <max-probes>9</max-probes> <probe-interval>75</probe-interval> </keepalives> </tcp-server> 4.3.

Security Considerations The three YANG modules in this document define groupings and will not be deployed as standalone modules. Their security implications may be context dependent based on their use in other modules. The designers of modules which import these grouping must conduct their own analysis of the security considerations. 5.1. Considerations for the "ietf-tcp-common" YANG Module This section follows the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-tcp-common" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication. The Network Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content. Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 28] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. Please review the Security Considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus the security consideration for such is not provided here. 5.2. Considerations for the "ietf-tcp-client" YANG Module This section follows the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-tcp-client" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication. The Network Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content. Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. Please review the Security Considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. One readable data node defined in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. This node is as follows: * The "proxy-server/socks5-parameters/authentication-parameters/ username-password/password" node: Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 29] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 The "password" node defined in the "tcp-client-grouping" grouping is defined using the "password-grouping" grouping presented in [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. This grouping enables both cleartext and encrypted passwords to be configured. As the referenced document states, configuration of cleartext passwords is NOT RECOMMENDED. However, in the case cleartext values are configured, this node is additionally sensitive to read operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be returned to a client. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-all" has been applied to it. None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus the security consideration for such is not provided here. Implementations are RECOMMENDED to implement the "local-binding- supported" feature for cryptographically-secure protocols, so as to enable more granular ingress/egress firewall rulebases. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to implement this feature for unsecure protocols, as per [RFC6056]. 5.3. Considerations for the "ietf-tcp-server" YANG Module This section follows the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-tcp-server" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].

Please review the Security Considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. Watsen & Scharf Expires 17 September 2024 [Page 30] Internet-Draft Groupings for TCP Clients and Servers March 2024 None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus the security consideration for such is not provided here. 6. IANA Considerations 6.1.
