Data Node Tags in YANG Modules
draft-ietf-netmod-node-tags-07
Abstract
This document defines a method to tag data nodes that are associated
with operation and management data in YANG modules. This method for
tagging YANG data nodes is meant to be used for classifying data
nodes or instance of data nodes from different YANG modules and
identifying their characteristic data. Tags may be registered as
well as assigned during the definition of the module, assigned by
implementations, or dynamically defined and set by users.
This document also provides guidance to future YANG data model
writers; as such, this document updates RFC 8407.

Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
1. Introduction
The use of tags for classification and organization purposes is
fairly ubiquitous, not only within IETF protocols, but globally in
the Internet (e.g., "#hashtags"). For the specific case of YANG data
models, a module tag is defined as a string that is associated with a
module name at the module level [RFC8819].
Many data models have been specified by various Standards Developing
Organizations (SDOs) and the Open Source community, and it is likely
that many more will be specified. These models cover many of the
networking protocols and techniques. However, data nodes defined by
these technology-specific data models might represent only a portion
of fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security
(FCAPS) management information ([FCAPS]) at different levels and
network locations, but also categorised in various different ways.
Furthermore, there is no consistent classification criteria or
representations for a specific service, feature, or data source.
This document defines data node tags and shows how they may be
associated with data nodes within a YANG module, which:
* Provide dictionary meaning for specific targeted data nodes.
* Indicate a relationship between data nodes within the same YANG
module or from different YANG modules.
* Identify key performance metric related data nodes and the
absolute XPath expression identifying the element path to the
nodes.
The data node tags can be used by a NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF
[RFC8040]client to classify data nodes of instance of these data
nodes from different YANG modules and identify characteristic data.
In addition, these tags can provide input, instructions, or
indications to selection filters and filter queries of configuration
or operational state on a server based on these data node tags (e.g.,
return specific data containing operational state related to
performance management). NETCONF clients can discover data nodes or
instances of data nodes with data node tags supported by a NETCONF
server by means of the <get-schema> operation (Section 3.1 of
[RFC6022]). The data node tag information can also be queried using
the model defined in Section 6.1. Similar to YANG module tags
defined in [RFC8819], these data node tags may be registered or
assigned during the module definition, assigned by implementations,
or dynamically defined and set by users.

Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
This document defines a YANG module [RFC7950] that augments the
module tag model [RFC8819] and provides a list of data node instance
entries to add or remove data node tags as well as to view the set of
data node tags associated with specific data nodes or instance of
data nodes within YANG modules.
This document defines three extension statements to indicate data
node tags that should be added by the module implementation
automatically (i.e., outside of configuration).
This document also defines an IANA registry for tag prefixes and a
set of globally assigned tags (Section 9).
Section 8 provides guidelines for authors of YANG data models. This
document updates [RFC8407].
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].
2. Terminology
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.
The meanings of the symbols in tree diagrams are defined in
[RFC8340].
3. Data Classification and Fetching using Data Node Tags
Among data node tags, the 'opm' (object, property, metric) tags can
be used to classify collected data, indicate relationships between
data nodes, and capture YANG-modelled performance metrics data
associated with data nodes of instances of data nodes. An example is
depicted in Figure 1.

Figure 1: The Relation between Object, Property, and Metric
In Figure 1.
Data nodes that contain other data nodes can be one of type
'container', 'leaf-list', or 'list' and are tagged with the 'object'
tag.
A Data node tagged with the 'property' tag is a 'leaf' node.
Data nodes tagged with the 'metric' tag can be one of 'container',
'leaf-list', 'list', or 'leaf' data node.
A data node may be associated with one single 'object' tag, or one
single 'property' tag, or one single 'metric' tag. The data node
tagged with the 'metric' tag also can have one or multiple MetricType
tags and/or one single multi-source tag.
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
The use of 'opm' tags is meant to help filter discrete categories of
YANG data objects scattered across the same or different YANG modules
that are supported by a device and capture all network performance
data or all property data in a single view of the data. In the
example shown in Figure 2, the 'tunnel-svc' data node is a list node
defined in a 'example-tunnel-pm' module and can be seen as the root
object for property tagged data node (e.g., 'tunnel-svc'/'create-
time') and metric tagged data node (e.g., 'tunnel-svc'/'avg-
latency'). The 'name', 'create-time', and 'modified-time' are
property tagged data node under 'tunnel-svc' list. The 'avg-latency'
and 'packet-loss' metrics are metric tagged data nodes under 'tunnel-
svc' list node. Consider the 'tunnel-svc' data node and the 'tunnel-
svc/name' data node as an example: the 'tunnel-svc' data node has one
single 'object' tag (i.e., 'ietf:object'), while the 'tunnel-svc/
name' data node has one single 'property' data node tag (i.e.,
'ietf:property'). In addition, not all metric data node need to be
tagged (e.g., define specific categories, such as loss-related metric
data nodes need to be tagged with a metric-type tag which can further
reduce amount data to be fetched).

Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
If data objects in YANG modules are adequately tagged and learnt by
the client from a server, the client can retrieve paths to all
targeted data nodes and then use an XPath query defined in
[RFC8639][RFC8641] to list all tagged data nodes which reflect the
network characteristics.
4. Data Node Tag Values
All data node tags (except in some cases of user tags as described in
Section 4.3) begin with a prefix indicating who owns their
definition. An IANA registry (Section 9.1) is used to register data
node tag prefixes. Initially, three prefixes are defined.
No further structure is imposed by this document on the value
following the registered prefix, and the value can contain any YANG
type 'string' characters except carriage returns, newlines, tabs, and
spaces.
Except for the conflict-avoiding prefix, this document is
purposefully not specifying any structure on (i.e., restricting) the
tag values. The intent is to avoid arbitrarily restricting the
values that designers, implementers, and users can use. As a result
of this choice, designers, implementers, and users are free to add or
not add any structure they may require to their own tag values.
4.1. IETF Tags
An IETF tag is a data node tag that has the prefix "ietf:".
All IETF data node tags are registered with IANA in the registry
defined in Section 9.2.
4.2. Vendor Tags
A vendor tag is a tag that has the prefix "vendor:".
These tags are defined by the vendor that implements the module, and
are not registered with IANA. However, it is RECOMMENDED that the
vendor includes extra identification in the tag to avoid collisions,
such as using the enterprise or organization name following the
"vendor:" prefix (e.g., vendor:entno:vendor-defined-classifier).
4.3. User Tags
User tags are defined by a user/administrator and are not registered
by IANA.
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
Any tag with the prefix "user:" is a user tag. Furthermore, any tag
that does not contain a colon (":", i.e., has no prefix) is also a
user tag. Users are not required to use the "user:" prefix; however,
doing so is RECOMMENDED.
4.4. Reserved Tags
Section 9.1 describes the IANA registry of tag prefixes. Any prefix
not included in that registry is reserved for future use, but tags
starting with such a prefix are still valid tags.
5. Data Node Tag Management
Tags may be associated with a data node within a YANG module in a
number of ways. Typically, tags may be defined and associated at the
module design time, at implementation time without the need of a live
server, or via user administrative control. As the main consumers of
data node tags are users, users may also remove any tag from a live
server, no matter how the tag became associated with a data node
within a YANG module.
5.1. Module Design Tagging
A data node definition MAY indicate a set of data node tags to be
added by a module's implementer. These design time tags are
indicated using a set of extension statements which include:
opm-tag extension statement: Classifies management and operation
data into object, property, and metric three categories. Three
values (object, property and metric) are assigned to the 'opm-tag'
tag.
Data nodes that contain other data nodes can be one of type
'container', 'leaf-list', and 'list' and are tagged with the
'object' tag value. A data node tagged with the 'property' tag
value is a 'leaf' node. Data node tagged with the 'metric' tag
value can be one of 'container', 'leaf-list', 'list', or 'leaf'
data node. A data node contains one single 'object' tag, one
single 'property' tag, or one single 'metric' tag. Both 'object'
tag value and 'property' tag value are not inherited down the
containment hierarchy, e.g., if a container is marked with a
'object ' tag value, all its contained leaves don't inherit the
tag value. The 'metric' tag value is inherited down the
containment hierarchy if Data nodes tagged with the 'metric' tag
is one of 'container', 'leaf-list', 'list'.
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
A data node tagged with the 'metric' tag also can have one or
multiple Metric type tag and/or one single multi-source tag. See
the examples depicted in Figure 2 and Figure 4.
metric-type extension statement: Provides metric related data nodes
classifications (e.g., loss, jitter, delay, counter, gauge,
summary, unknown) for data nodes tagged with the 'metric' tag.
Data nodes tagged with the 'metric-type' tag can be one of
'container', 'leaf-list', 'list', or 'leaf' data node. The
'metric-type' tag is inherited down the containment hierarchy if
Data nodes tagged with the 'metric-type' tag is one of
'container', 'leaf-list', 'list'. Figure 6 provides a list of
possbile values for the 'metric-type' tag.
multi-source-tag extension statement: Identifies multi-source
aggregation type for data nodes tagged with the 'metric' tag. Two
values (i.e., aggregated, non-aggregated) are assigned to 'multi-
source-tag' tag.
The 'aggregated' multi-source aggregation type allows a large
number of measurements on metric subobjects from different sources
of the same type (e.g., line card, each subinterface of aggregated
Ethernet interface) to be combined into aggregated statistics and
report as one metric subobject.
The 'non-aggregated' multi-source aggregation type allows
measurement from each source of the same type (e.g., line card,
each subinterface of aggregated Ethernet interface) to be reported
separately.
Data nodes tagged with the 'multi-source-tag' tag can be one of
'container', 'leaf-list', 'list', or 'leaf' data node. The
'multi-source-tag' tag is inherited down the containment hierarchy
if Data nodes tagged with the 'multi-source-tag' tag is one of
'container', 'leaf-list', 'list'.
Among these extension statements, the 'metric-type' and 'multi-
source-tag' extension statements are context information that can be
used to correlate data nodes from the different modules.
If the data node is defined in an IETF Standards Track document, the
data node tags MUST be IETF Tags (Section 4.1). Thus, new data nodes
can drive the addition of new IETF tags to the IANA registry defined
in Section 9.2, and the IANA registry can serve as a check against
duplication.
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
5.2. Implementation Tagging
An implementation MAY include additional tags associated with data
nodes within a YANG module. These tags SHOULD be IETF ((i.e.,
registered) ) or vendor tags.
5.3. User Tagging
data node tags of any kind, with or without a prefix, can be assigned
and removed by the user from a server using normal configuration
mechanisms. In order to remove a data node tag from the operational
datastore, the user adds a matching "masked-tag" entry for a given
data node within the 'ietf-data-node-tags' module.

as a new subsection to Section 4 of that document. It does not
change anything already present in [RFC8407].
8.1. Define Standard Tags
A module MAY indicate, using data node tag extension statements, a
set of data node tags that are to be automatically associated with
data node within the module (i.e., not added through configuration).

//...
import ietf-data-node-tags { prefix ntags; }
container top {
ntags:opm-tag "ietf:object";

}
leaf bar {

}
}
}
// ...
}
Figure 4: An Example of Data Object Tag
The module writer can use existing standard data node tags, or use
new data node tags defined in the data node definition, as
appropriate. For IETF standardized modules, new data node tags MUST
be assigned in the IANA registry defined in Section 9.2.
9. IANA Considerations
9.1. YANG Data Object Tag Prefixes Registry
This document requests IANA to create "YANG data node Tag Prefixes"
subregistry in "YANG data node Tag" registry.
Prefix entries in this registry should be short strings consisting of
lowercase ASCII alpha-numeric characters and a final ":" character.
The allocation policy for this registry is Specification Required
[RFC8126]. The Reference and Assignee values should be sufficient to
identify and contact the organization that has been allocated the
prefix. There is no specific guidance for the Designated Expert and
there is a presumption that a code point should be granted unless
there is a compelling reason to the contrary.
The initial values for this registry are as follows:
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
+----------+----------------------------------+-----------+----------+
| Prefix | Description | Reference | Assignee |

+----------+----------------------------------+-----------+----------+
Figure 5: Table 1
Other standards organizations (SDOs) wishing to allocate their own
set of tags should request the allocation of a prefix from this
registry.
9.2. IETF YANG Data Object Tags Registry
This document requests IANA to create "IETF OPM Tags","IETF Metric
Type Tags","IETF Multiple Source Tags" three subregistries in "YANG
data node Tag" registry. These 3 subregistries appear below "YANG
data node Tag Prefixes" registry.
Three subregistries allocate tags that have the registered prefix
"ietf:". New values should be well considered and not achievable
through a combination of already existing IETF tags.
The allocation policy for these three subregistries is IETF Review
[RFC8126]. The Designated Expert is expected to verify that IANA
assigned tags conform to Net-Unicode as defined in [RFC5198], and
shall not need normalization.
The initial values for these three subregistries are as follows:
+----------------------------+--------------------------+-----------+
| OPM Tag | Description | Reference |
+----------------------------+--------------------------+-----------+
| ietf:object |Represents Root object | [This |
| |containing other data | document] |

9.3. Updates to the IETF XML Registry
This document registers the following namespace URI in the "ns"
subregistry within the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-data-node-tags
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
9.4. Updates to the YANG Module Names Registry
This document registers the following YANG module in the YANG Module
Names registry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry:
name: ietf-data-node-tags
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-data-node-tags
prefix: ntags
reference: RFC XXXX
maintained by IANA: N
10. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines schema for data
that 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
[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, e.g., the presence of tags
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
may reveal information about the way in which data nodes are used and
therefore providing access to private information or revealing an
attack vector should be restricted. Note that appropriate privilege
and security levels need to be applied to the addition and removal of
user tags to ensure that a user receives the correct data.
This document adds the ability to associate data node tag with data
nodes or instances of data nodes within the YANG modules. This
document does not define any actions based on these associations, and
none are yet defined, and therefore it does not by itself introduce
any new security considerations.
Users of the data node tag meta-data may define various actions to be
taken based on the data node tag meta-data. These actions and their
definitions are outside the scope of this document. Users will need
to consider the security implications of any actions they choose to
define, including the potential for a tag to get 'masked' by another
user.

Appendix A. Example: Additional Auxiliary Data Property Information
This section gives an example of how Auxiliary Data Property Module
could be defined. It demonstrates how auxiliary data property
configuration parameters can be conditionally augmented to the
generic data node list. The example is not intended as a complete
module for Auxiliary Data Property configuration.
module ex-auxiliary-data-property {
yang-version 1.1;
namespace "http://example.com/auxiliary-data-property";
prefix "dp";
import ietf-module-tags {
prefix tags;
}
import ietf-data-node-tags {
prefix ntags;
}
identity critical {
base ntags:other-data-property;
description
"Identity for critical data node tag type.";
}
augment "/tags:module-tags/tags:module/ntags:data-node-tags/ntags:data-node" {

type string;
description
"The auxiliary information corresponding
to data node instance tagged with 'critical'
extended tag type.";
}
// other auxiliary data property config params, etc.
}
}
Appendix B. Instance Level Tunnel Tagging Example
In the example shown in Figure 2,the 'tunnel-svc' data node is a list
node defined in a 'example-tunnel-pm' module and has 7 child nodes:
'name','create-time','modified-time','average-latency','packet-
loss','min-latency','max-latency' leaf node. In these child nodes,
the 'name' leaf node is the key leaf for the 'tunnel-svc' list.
Following is the tree diagram [RFC8340] for the "example-tunnel-pm"
module:
Wu, et al. Expires 31 October 2022 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
+--rw tunnel-svc* [name]
| +--rw name string
| +--ro create-time yang:date-and-time
| +--ro modified-time yang:date-and-time
| +--ro average-latency yang:gauge64
| +--ro packet-loss yang:counter64
| +--ro min-latency yang:gauge64
| +--ro max-latency yang:gauge64
To help identify specific data for a customer, users tags on specific
instances of the data nodes are created as follows:
<rpc message-id="103"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<edit-data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda"
xmlns:ds="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-datastores">
<datastore>ds:running</datastore>
<config>
<module-tag>
<module>
<name>example-tunnel-pm</name>
<data-node-tags xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-data-node-tags">
<data-node>
<ni-id>
/tp:tunnel-svc[name='foo']/tp:packet-loss
</ni-id>
<tag>user:customer1_example_com</tag>
<tag>ietf:critical</tag>
</data-node>
<data-node>
<ni-id>
/tp:tunnel-svc[name='bar']/tp:modified-time

<tag>user:customer2_example_com</tag>
</data-node>
</data-node-tags>
</module>
</module-tag>
</config>
</edit-data>
</rpc>
Note that the 'ietf:critical' tag is addtional new tag value that
needs to be allocated from "IETF Metric Type Tags" subregistry in
section 9.2.

Internet-Draft YANG Node Tags April 2022
The subscriber fetches data node tag information from the provider
using 'get-schema' operation. The data node tag information instruct
the receiver to subscribe tagged data node (e.g., performance metric
data nodes) using standard subscribed notification mechanism
[RFC8639].
Figure 8 illustrates the retrieval of the list of available target
data nodes using the YANG instance file format [RFC9195]:

With data node tag information carried in the <get-schema> operation,
the subscriber identifies targeted data node and associated data path
to the datastore node and sends a standard establish-subscription RPC
[RFC8639] to subscribe tagged data nodes that are interests to the
client application from the publisher. Alternatively, the subscriber
can query data node tag list from somewhere (e.g., the network
device, or offline document) using ietf-data-node-tags module defined
in this document and fetch tagged data nodes and associated data path
to the datastore node and sends a standard establish-subscription RPC
[RFC8639] to subscribe tagged data nodes that are interests to the
client application from the publisher.

The publisher returns specific object types of operational state
(e.g., in-errors statistics data) subscribed by the client.
