1. Introduction
[RFC8519] defines Access Control Lists (ACLs) as a user-ordered set
of filtering rules. The model targets the configuration of the
filtering behavior of a device. However, the model structure, as
defined in [RFC8519], suffers from a set of limitations. This
document describes these limitations and specifies an enhanced ACL
structure (Section 4). The motivation of such enhanced ACL structure
is discussed in detail in Appendix D.
When managing ACLs, it is common for network operators to group match
elements in pre-defined sets. The consolidation into group matches
allows for reducing the number of rules, especially in large scale
networks. If, for example, it is needed to find a match against 100
IP addresses (or prefixes), a single rule will suffice rather than
Dios, et al. Expires 24 April 2025 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
creating individual Access Control Entries (ACEs) for each IP address
(or prefix). In doing so, implementations would optimize the
performance of matching lists vs multiple rules matching.
The enhanced ACL structure (Section 4) is also meant to facilitate
the management of network operators. Instead of entering the IP
address or port number literals, using user-named lists decouples the
creation of the rule from the management of the sets. Hence, it is
possible to remove/add entries to the list without redefining the
(parent) ACL rule.
In addition, the notion of Access Control List (ACL) and defined sets
is generalized so that it is not device-specific as per [RFC8519].
ACLs and defined sets may be defined at network/administrative domain
level and associated to devices. This approach facilitates the
reusability across multiple network elements. For example, managing
the IP prefix sets from a network level makes it easier to maintain
by the security groups.
Network operators maintain sets of IP prefixes that are related to
each other, e.g., deny-lists or accept-lists that are associated with
those provided by a VPN customer. These lists are maintained and
manipulated by security expert teams.
Note that ACLs are used locally in devices but are triggered by other
tools such as DDoS mitigation [RFC9132] or BGP Flow Spec [RFC8955]
[RFC8956]. Therefore, supporting means to easily map to the
filtering rules conveyed in messages triggered by these tools is
valuable from a network operation standpoint.
The enhanced ACL module (Section 4) conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].
A set of examples to illustrate the use of the enhanced ACL module
are provided in Appendix E.
The document also defines IANA-maintained modules for ICMP types and
IPv6 extension headers. The design of the modules adheres to the
recommendations in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis]. The templates to
generate the modules are available in Appendix A.1, Appendix B.1, and
Appendix C.1. Readers should refer to the IANA websites
[IANA_ICMPv4_YANG_URL], [IANA_ICMPv6_YANG_URL], and
[IANA_IPV6_YANG_URL] to retrieve the latest version of these IANA-
maintained modules.

3.2. Defined Sets
The augmented ACL structure includes several containers to manage
reusable sets of elements that can be matched in an ACL entry. Each
set is uniquely identified by a name and can be called from the
relevant entry. The following sets are defined (Figure 1):
IPv4 prefix sets: An IPv4 prefix set contains a list of IPv4
prefixes. A match will be considered if the IP address (source or
destination, depending on the ACL entry) is contained in any of
the prefixes in the set.
Dios, et al. Expires 24 April 2025 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
IPv6 prefix sets: An IPv6 prefix contains a list of IPv6 prefixes.
A match will be considered if the IP address (source or
destination, depending on the ACL entry) is contained in any of
the prefixes in the set.
Port sets: A port set contains a list of port numbers to be used in
transpot protocol entries (e.g., TCP and UDP).
The port numbers can be individual port numbers, a range of port
numbers, and an operation.
Protocol sets: A protocol set contains a list of protocol values.
Each protocol can be identified either by a number (e.g., 17) or a
name (e.g., UDP).
ICMP sets: An ICMP set contains a list of ICMPv4 [RFC0792] or ICMPv6
[RFC4443] types, each of them identified by a type value,
optionally the code and the rest of the header.
New IANA-maintained modules for ICMP types are defined in this
document.
Aliases: An alias is defined by a combination of various parameters
(e.g., IP prefix, protocol, port number, or VLAN [IEEE802.1Qcp]).
Sets of aliases can be defined and referred to in ACL match
criteria.
3.3. IPv6 Extension Headers
The module can be used to manage ACLs that require matching against
IPv6 extension headers [RFC8200]. To that aim, a new IANA-maintained
module for IPv6 extension header types "iana-ipv6-ext-types" is
defined in this document.
3.4. TCP Flags Handling
The augmented ACL structure (Figure 1) includes a new container
'flags-bitmask' to better handle TCP flags [RFC9293].
Clients that support both 'flags-bitmask' and 'flags' [RFC8519]
matching fields MUST NOT set these fields in the same request.
3.5. Fragments Handling
The augmented ACL structure (Figure 1) includes new leafs
'ipv4-fragment' and 'ipv6-fragment' to better handle fragments.
Dios, et al. Expires 24 April 2025 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
Clients that support both 'ipv4-fragment' and 'flags' [RFC8519]
matching fields MUST NOT set these fields in the same request.
3.6. Payload-based Filtering
Some transport protocols use existing protocols (e.g., TCP or UDP) as
substrate. The match criteria for such protocols may rely upon the
'protocol' under 'l3', TCP/UDP match criteria, part of the TCP/UDP
payload, or a combination thereof.
A new feature, called 'match-on-payload', is defined in the document.
This can be used, for example, for QUIC [RFC9000] or for tunneling
protocols.
3.7. Match on MPLS Headers
The enhanced ACL module (Section 4) can be used to create rules to
match against MPLS fields of a packet. The MPLS header defined in
[RFC3032] and [RFC5462] contains the following fields:
* Traffic Class: The 3-bit "Exp" field [RFC3032] which is renamed to
"Traffic Class field" ("TC field") [RFC5462].
* Label Value: A 20-bit field that carries the actual value of the
MPLS label.
* TTL: A 8-bit field used to encode Time to Live (TTL) value.
The augmented ACL structure (Figure 1) allows an operator to
configure ACLs that match based upon the following data nodes:
* 'traffic-class'
* 'label-position' (e.g., top or bottom)
* 'upper-label-range'
* 'lower-label-range'
* 'label-block-name'
* 'ttl-value'

Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
3.8. VLAN Filtering
Being able to filter all packets that are bridged within a VLAN or
that are routed into or out of a bridge domain is part of the VPN
control requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN) [RFC7209]. All packets
that are bridged within a VLAN or that are routed into or out of a
VLAN can be captured, forwarded, translated, or discarded based on
the network policy.
3.9. Instance Service Identifier (I-SID) Filtering
Provider backbone bridging (PBB) was originally defined as Virtual
Bridged Local Area Networks [IEEE-802-1ah] standard. However,
instead of multiplexing VLANs, PBB duplicates the MAC layer of the
customer frame and separates it from the provider domain, by
encapsulating it in a 24-bit instance service identifier (I-SID).
This provides more transparency between the customer network and the
provider network.
The I-component forms the customer or access facing interface or
routing instance. The I-component is responsible for mapping
customer Ethernet traffic to the appropriate I-SID. It is mandatory
to configure the default service identifier in the network.
Being able to filter by I-component Service identifier is a feature
of the EVNP-PBB configuration.
3.10. Additional Actions
In order to support rate-limiting (see Appendix D.6), a new action
called 'rate-limit' is defined in this document. Also, the "ietf-
acl-enh" module supports new actions to complement existing ones: Log
('log-action') and write a counter ('counter-action'). The version
of the module defined in this document supports only local actions.
4. Enhanced ACL YANG Module

5. Security Considerations
The YANG modules specified in this document define 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 Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer
is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
[RFC8446].
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.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the "ietf-acl-enh" 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:
'defined-sets': These lists specify a set of sets and aliases.
Similar to [RFC8519], unauthorized write access to these list can
allow intruders to modify the entries so as to permit traffic that
should not be permitted, or deny traffic that should be permitted.
The former may result in a DoS attack, or compromise a device.
The latter may result in a DoS attack.
Some of the readable data nodes in the "ietf-acl-enh" 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:
'defined-sets': Unauthorized read access of these lists will allow
an attacker to identify the actual resources that are bound to
ACLs.
The YANG modules "iana-icmpv4-types", "iana-icmpv6-types", and "iana-
ipv6-ext-types defines" a set of types. These nodes are intended to
be reused by other YANG modules. Each of these modules by itself
does not expose any data nodes that are writable, data nodes that
contain read-only state, or RPCs. As such, there are no additional
security issues related to these YANG modules that need to be
considered.

6.3. Considerations for IANA-Maintained Modules
6.3.1. ICMPv4 Types IANA Module
IANA is requested to create and post the initial version of the
"iana-icmpv4-types" YANG module by applying the XSLT stylesheet from
Appendix A.1 to the XML version of [IANA-ICMPv4].
This document defines the initial version of the IANA-maintained
"iana-icmpv4-types" YANG module. The most recent version of the YANG
module is available from the "YANG Parameters" registry
[IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].
IANA is requested to add this note to the registry
[IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS]:
New values must not be directly added to the "iana-icmpv4-types"
YANG module. They must instead be added to the "ICMP Type
Numbers" registry [IANA-ICMPv4].
When a value is added to the "ICMP Type Numbers" registry, a new
"enum" statement must be added to the "iana-icmpv4-types" YANG
module. The "enum" statement, and sub-statements thereof, should be
defined:
Dios, et al. Expires 24 April 2025 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
"enum": Replicates a name from the registry.
"value": Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value.
"status": Is included only if a registration has been deprecated or
obsoleted. IANA "deprecated" maps to YANG status "deprecated",
and IANA "obsolete" maps to YANG status "obsolete".
"description": Replicates the description from the registry.
"reference": Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the
title of the document(s) added.
Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module.
When the "iana-icmpv4-types" YANG module is updated, a new "revision"
statement with a unique revision date must be added in front of the
existing revision statements.
IANA is requested to add this note to "ICMP Type Numbers"
[IANA-ICMPv4]:
When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-icmpv4-types"
[IANA_ICMPv4_YANG_URL] must be updated as defined in RFC XXXX.
IANA is requested to updated the "Reference" in the "ICMP Type
Numbers" registry as follows:
OLD: [RFC2780]
NEW: [RFC2780][RFCXXXX]
6.3.2. ICMPv6 Types IANA Module
IANA is requested to create and post the initial version of the
"iana-icmpv6-types" YANG module by applying the XSLT stylesheet from
Appendix B.1 to the XML version of [IANA-ICMPv4].
This document defines the initial version of the IANA-maintained
"iana-icmpv6-types" YANG module. The most recent version of the YANG
module is available from the "YANG Parameters" registry
[IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].

Appendix D. Problem Statement & Gap Analysis
D.1. Suboptimal Configuration: Lack of Support for Lists of Prefixes
IP prefix-related data nodes, e.g., "destination-ipv4-network" or
"destination-ipv6-network", do not support handling a list of IP
prefixes, which may then lead to having to support large numbers of
ACL entries in a configuration file.
The same issue is encountered when ACLs have to be in place to
mitigate DDoS attacks that involve a set of sources (e.g.,
[RFC9132]). The situation is even worse when both a list of sources
and destination prefixes are involved in the filtering.
Figure 3 shows an example of the required ACL configuration for
filtering traffic from two prefixes.

Figure 3: Example Illustrating Sub-optimal Use of the ACL Model
with a Prefix List (Message Body)
Such a configuration is suboptimal for both:
Dios, et al. Expires 24 April 2025 [Page 72]
Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
* Network controllers that need to manipulate large files. All or a
subset for this configuration will need to be passed to the
underlying network devices.
* Devices may receive such a configuration and thus will need to
maintain it locally.
D.2. Manageability: Impossibility to Use Aliases or Defined Sets
The same approach as the one discussed for IP prefixes can be
generalized by introducing the concept of "aliases" or "defined
sets".
The defined sets are reusable definitions across several ACLs. Each
category is modeled in YANG as a list of parameters related to the
class it represents. The following sets can be considered:
Prefix sets: Used to create lists of IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes.
Protocol sets: Used to create a list of protocols.
Port number sets: Used to create lists of TCP or UDP port values (or
any other transport protocol that makes uses of port numbers).
The identity of the protocols is identified by the protocol set,
if present. Otherwise, a set applies to any protocol.
ICMP sets: Uses to create lists of ICMP-based filters. This applies
only when the protocol is set to ICMP or ICMPv6.
Aliases may also be considered to manage resources that are
identified by a combination of various parameters (e.g., prefix,
protocol, port number, FQDN, or VLAN IDs). Note that some aliases
can be provided by decomposing them into separate sets.
D.3. Bind ACLs to Devices, Not Only Interfaces
In the context of network management, an ACL may be enforced in many
network locations. As such, the ACL module should allow for binding
an ACL to multiple devices, not only (abstract) interfaces.
The ACL name must, thus, be unique at the scale of the network, but
the same name may be used in many devices when enforcing node-
specific ACLs.

D.4. Partial or Lack of IPv4/IPv6 Fragment Handling
[RFC8519] does not support fragment handling for IPv6 but offers a
partial support for IPv4 through the use of 'flags'. Nevertheless,
the use of 'flags' is problematic since it does not allow a bitmask
to be defined. For example, setting other bits not covered by the
'flags' filtering clause in a packet will allow that packet to get
through (because it won't match the ACE).
Defining a new IPv4/IPv6 matching field called 'fragment' is thus
required to efficiently handle fragment-related filtering rules.
D.5. Suboptimal TCP Flags Handling
[RFC8519] supports including flags in the TCP match fields, however
that structure does not support matching operations as those
supported in BGP Flow Spec. Defining this field to be defined as a
flag bitmask together with a set of operations is meant to
efficiently handle TCP flags filtering rules.
D.6. Rate-Limit Action
[RFC8519] specifies that forwarding actions can be 'accept' (i.e.,
accept matching traffic), 'drop' (i.e., drop matching traffic without
sending any ICMP error message), or 'reject' (i.e., drop matching
traffic and send an ICMP error message to the source). However,
there are situations where the matching traffic can be accepted, but
with a rate-limit policy. This capability is not supported by
[RFC8519].
D.7. Payload-based Filtering
Some transport protocols use existing protocols (e.g., TCP or UDP) as
substrate. The match criteria for such protocols may rely upon the
'protocol' under 'l3', TCP/UDP match criteria, part of the TCP/UDP
payload, or a combination thereof. [RFC8519] does not support
matching based on the payload.
Likewise, the current version of the ACL model does not support
filtering of encapsulated traffic.

Internet-Draft Enhanced ACLs October 2024
D.8. Reuse the ACLs Content Across Several Devices
Having a global network view of the ACLs is highly valuable for
service providers. An ACL could be defined and applied based on the
network topology hierarchy. So, an ACL can be defined at the network
level and, then, that same ACL can be used (or referenced to) in
several devices (including termination points) within the same
network.
This network/device ACLs differentiation introduces several new
requirements, e.g.:
* An ACL name can be used at both network and device levels.
* An ACL content updated at the network level should imply a
transaction that updates the relevant content in all the nodes
using this ACL.
* ACLs defined at the device level have a local meaning for the
specific node.
* A device can be associated with a router, a VRF, a logical system,
or a virtual node. ACLs can be applied in physical and logical
infrastructure.
D.9. Match MPLS Headers
The ACLs could be used to create rules to match MPLS fields on a
packet. [RFC8519] does not support such function.
Appendix E. Examples
This section provides a few examples to illustrate the use of the
enhanced ACL module ("ietf-acl-enh").
Figure 4 shows an example of the message body of a request to install
a filter to discard incoming TCP messages having all flags unset.
