1. Introduction
YANG [RFC7950] is a data modeling language used to model
configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration
Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241]. The YANG language supports a small set
of built-in data types and provides mechanisms to derive other types
from the built-in types.
This document introduces a collection of common data types derived
from the built-in YANG data types. The derived types are designed to
be applicable for modeling all areas of management information. The
definitions are organized in two YANG modules. The "ietf-yang-types"
module contains generally useful data types. The "ietf-inet-types"
module contains definitions that are relevant for the Internet
protocol suite.
This document adds new type definitions to these YANG modules and
obsoletes [RFC6991]. For further details, see the revision
statements of the YANG modules in Section 3 and Section 4 and the
brief summary in Appendix A.

[RFC7950].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and

yang-types" and "ietf-inet-types". For each type, the name of the
type, the base type it was derived from, and the RFC introducing the

Internet-Draft Common YANG Data Types December 2022
Some types have an equivalent Structure of Management Information
Version 2 (SMIv2) [RFC2578] [RFC2579] data type. A YANG data type is
equivalent to an SMIv2 data type if the data types have the same set
of values and the semantics of the values are equivalent.
Table 3 lists the types defined in the "ietf-yang-types" YANG module
with their corresponding SMIv2 types and Table 4 lists the types
defined in the "ietf-inet-types" module with their corresponding
SMIv2 types.

are separated by single dots and without any intermediate
whitespace.
The ASN.1 standard restricts the value space of the first
sub-identifier to 0, 1, or 2. Furthermore, the value space
of the second sub-identifier is restricted to the range

0 to 39 if the first sub-identifier is 0 or 1. Finally,
the ASN.1 standard requires that an object identifier
has always at least two sub-identifiers. The pattern
captures these restrictions.
Although the number of sub-identifiers is not limited,
module designers should realize that there may be
implementations that stick with the SMIv2 limit of 128
sub-identifiers.
This type is a superset of the SMIv2 OBJECT IDENTIFIER type

standard for representation of dates and times using the

Gregorian calendar. The profile is defined by the
date-time production in Section 5.6 of RFC 3339.
The date-and-time type is compatible with the dateTime XML
schema dateTime type with the following notable exceptions:
(a) The date-and-time type does not allow negative years.
(b) The time-offset -00:00 indicates that the date-and-time
value is reported in UTC and that the local time zone
reference point is unknown. The time-offsets +00:00 and Z
both indicate that the date-and-time value is reported in
UTC and that the local time reference point is UTC (see RFC
3339 section 4.3).
This type is not equivalent to the DateAndTime textual
convention of the SMIv2 since RFC 3339 uses a different
separator between full-date and full-time and provides
higher resolution of time-secfrac.
The canonical format for date-and-time values with a known time
zone uses a numeric time zone offset that is calculated using
the device's configured known offset to UTC time. A change of

Internet domain names are only loosely specified. Section
3.5 of RFC 1034 recommends a syntax (modified in Section
2.1 of RFC 1123). The pattern above is intended to allow
for current practice in domain name use, and some possible
future expansion. Note that Internet host names have a
stricter syntax (described in RFC 952) than the DNS
recommendations in RFCs 1034 and 1123. Schema nodes
representing host names should use the host-name type

Internet-Draft Common YANG Data Types December 2022
The encoding of DNS names in the DNS protocol is limited
to 255 characters. Since the encoding consists of labels
prefixed by a length bytes and there is a trailing NULL
byte, only 253 characters can appear in the textual dotted
notation.
The description clause of schema nodes using the domain-name
type MUST describe when and how these names are resolved to
IP addresses. Note that the resolution of a domain-name value
may require to query multiple DNS records (e.g., A for IPv4
and AAAA for IPv6). The order of the resolution process and
which DNS record takes precedence can either be defined
explicitly or may depend on the configuration of the
resolver.
Domain-name values use the US-ASCII encoding. Their canonical
format uses lowercase US-ASCII characters. Internationalized
domain names MUST be A-labels as per RFC 5890.";

5. IANA Considerations
This document registers two URIs in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].
Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registrations have
been made.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types
Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types
Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers two YANG modules in the YANG Module Names
registry [RFC6020].

6. Security Considerations
This document defines common data types using the YANG data modeling
language. The definitions themselves have no security impact on the
Internet, but the usage of these definitions in concrete YANG modules
might have. The security considerations spelled out in the YANG
specification [RFC7950] apply for this document as well.
