A Layer 3 VPN Network YANG Model
draft-ietf-opsawg-l3sm-l3nm-18
Abstract
As a complement to the Layer 3 Virtual Private Network Service YANG
data Model (L3SM), used for communication between customers and
service providers, this document defines an L3VPN Network YANG Model
(L3NM) that can be used for the provisioning of Layer 3 Virtual
Private Network (VPN) services within a service provider network.
The model provides a network-centric view of L3VPN services.
L3NM is meant to be used by a network controller to derive the
configuration information that will be sent to relevant network
devices. The model can also facilitate the communication between a
service orchestrator and a network controller/orchestrator.

1. Introduction
[RFC8299] defines a Layer 3 Virtual Private Network Service YANG data
Model (L3SM) that can be used for communication between customers and
service providers. Such a model focuses on describing the customer
view of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) services and provides an
abstracted view of the customer's requested services. That approach
limits the usage of the L3SM to the role of a customer service model
(as per [RFC8309]).

Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
This document defines a YANG module called L3VPN Network Model
(L3NM). The L3NM is aimed at providing a network-centric view of
Layer 3 (L3) VPN services. This data model can be used to facilitate
communication between the service orchestrator and the network
controller/orchestrator by allowing for more network-centric
information to be included. It enables further capabilities such as
resource management or serves as a multi-domain orchestration
interface, where logical resources (such as route targets or route
distinguishers) must be coordinated.
This document uses the common VPN YANG module defined in
[I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common].
This document does not obsolete [RFC8299]. These two modules are
used for similar objectives but with different scopes and views.
The L3NM YANG module was initially built with a prune and extend
approach, taking as a starting points the YANG module described in
[RFC8299]. Nevertheless, the L3NM is not defined as an augment to
L3SM because a specific structure is required to meet network-
oriented L3 needs.
Some information captured in the L3SM can be passed by the
orchestrator in the L3NM (e.g., customer) or be used to feed some
L3NM attributes (e.g., actual forwarding policies). Also, some
information captured in the L3SM may be maintained locally within the
orchestrator; which is in charge of maintaining the correlation
between a customer view and its network instantiation. Likewise,
some information captured and exposed using the L3NM can feed the
service layer (e.g., capabilities) to drive VPN service order
handling, and thus the L3SM.
Section 5.1 of [RFC8969] illustrates how the L3NM can be used within
the network management automation architecture.
The L3NM does not attempt to address all deployment cases, especially
those where the L3VPN connectivity is supported through the
coordination of different VPNs in different underlying networks.
More complex deployment scenarios involving the coordination of
different VPN instances and different technologies to provide an end-
to-end VPN connectivity are addressed by complementary YANG modules,
e.g., [I-D.evenwu-opsawg-yang-composed-vpn].
The L3NM focuses on BGP Provider Edge (PE) based Layer 3 VPNs as
described in [RFC4026][RFC4110][RFC4364] and Multicast VPNs as
described in [RFC6037][RFC6513].

Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) 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.
This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the contents
of [RFC6241], [RFC7950], [RFC8299], [RFC8309], and [RFC8453] and uses
the terminology defined in those documents.
This document uses the term "network model" defined in Section 2.1 of
[RFC8969].
The meaning of the symbols in the tree diagrams is defined in
[RFC8340].
This document makes use of the following terms:
Layer 3 VPN Customer Service Model (L3SM): A YANG module that
describes the service requirements of an L3VPN that interconnects
a set of sites from the point of view of the customer. The
customer service model does not provide details on the service
provider network. The L3VPN customer service model is defined in
[RFC8299].
Layer 3 VPN Service Network Model (L3NM): A YANG module that
describes a VPN service in the service provider network. It
contains information of the service provider network and might
include allocated resources. It can be used by network
controllers to manage and control the VPN service configuration in
the service provider network. The YANG module can be consumed by
a service orchestrator to request a VPN service to a network
controller.
Service orchestrator: A functional entity that interacts with the
customer of an L3VPN. The service orchestrator interacts with the
customer using the L3SM. The service orchestrator is responsible
for the Customer Edge (CE) - Provider Edge (PE) attachment
circuits, the PE selection, and requesting the VPN service to the
network controller.
Network orchestrator: A functional entity that is hierarchically
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
intermediate between a service orchestrator and network
controllers. A network orchestrator can manage one or several
network controllers.
Network controller: A functional entity responsible for the control
and management of the service provider network.
VPN node: An abstraction that represents a set of policies applied
on a PE and that belong to a single VPN service. A VPN service
involves one or more VPN nodes. As it is an abstraction, the
network controller will take on how to implement a VPN node. For
example, typically, in a BGP-based VPN, a VPN node could be mapped
into a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF).
VPN network access: An abstraction that represents the network
interfaces that are associated to a given VPN node. Traffic
coming from the VPN network access belongs to the VPN. The
attachment circuits (bearers) between CEs and PEs are terminated
in the VPN network access. A reference to the bearer is
maintained to allow keeping the link between L3SM and L3NM when
both models are used in a given deployment.
VPN site: A VPN customer's location that is connected to the service
provider network via a CE-PE link, which can access at least one
VPN [RFC4176].
VPN service provider: A service provider that offers VPN-related
services [RFC4176].
Service provider network: A network that is able to provide VPN-
related services.
The document is aimed at modeling BGP PE-based VPNs in a service
provider network, so the terms defined in [RFC4026] and [RFC4176] are
used.

4. L3NM Reference Architecture
Figure 1 depicts the reference architecture for the L3NM. The figure
is an expansion of the architecture presented in Section 5 of
[RFC8299]; it decomposes the box marked "orchestration" in that
section into three separate functional components: Service
Orchestration, Network Orchestration, and Domain Orchestration.
Although some deployments may choose to construct a monolithic
orchestration component (covering both service and network matters),
this document advocates for a clear separation between service and
network orchestration components for the sake of better flexibility.
Such design adheres to the L3VPN reference architecture defined in
Section 1.3 of [RFC4176]. This separation relies upon a dedicated
communication interface between these components and appropriate YANG
modules that reflect network-related information. Such information
is hidden to customers.
The intelligence for translating customer-facing information into
network-centric one (and vice versa) is implementation specific.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
The terminology from [RFC8309] is introduced to show the distinction
between the customer service model, the service delivery model, the
network configuration model, and the device configuration model. In
that context, the "Domain Orchestration" and "Config Manager" roles
may be performed by "Controllers".

Figure 1: L3NM Reference Architecture
The customer may use a variety of means to request a service that may
trigger the instantiation of an L3NM. The customer may use the L3SM
or more abstract models to request a service that relies upon an
L3VPN service. For example, the customer may supply an IP
Connectivity Provisioning Profile (CPP) that characterizes the

requested service [RFC7297], an enhanced VPN (VPN+) service
[I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn], or an IETF network slice service
[I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices].
Note also that both the L3SM and the L3NM may be used in the context
of the Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) Framework
[RFC8453]. Figure 2 shows the Customer Network Controller (CNC), the
Multi-Domain Service Coordinator (MDSC), and the Provisioning Network
Controller (PNC) components and the interfaces where L3SM/L3NM are
used.

5. Relation with other YANG Models
The "ietf-vpn-common" module [I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common] includes a
set of identities, types, and groupings that are meant to be reused
by VPN-related YANG modules independently of the layer (e.g., Layer
2, Layer 3) and the type of the module (e.g., network model, service
model) including future revisions of existing models (e.g., [RFC8299]
or [RFC8466]). The L3NM reuses these common types and groupings.
In order to avoid data duplication and to ease passing data between
layers when required (service layer to network layer and vice versa),
early versions of the L3NM reused many of the data nodes that are
defined in [RFC8299]. Nevertheless, that approach was abandoned in
favor of the "ietf-vpn-common" module because that initial design was
interpreted as if the deployment of L3NM depends on L3SM, while this
is not the case. For example, a service provider may decide to use
the L3NM to build its L3VPN services without exposing the L3SM.
As discussed in Section 4, the L3NM is meant to manage L3VPN services
within a service provider network. The module provides a network
view of the service. Such a view is only visible within the service
provider and is not exposed outside (to customers, for example). The
following discusses how L3NM interfaces with other YANG modules:
L3SM: L3NM is not a customer service model.
The internal view of the service (i.e., L3NM) may be mapped to an
external view which is visible to customers: L3VPN Service YANG
data Model (L3SM) [RFC8299].
The L3NM can be fed with inputs that are requested by customers,
typically, relying upon an L3SM template. Concretely, some parts
of the L3SM module can be directly mapped into L3NM while other
parts are generated as a function of the requested service and
local guidelines. Some other parts are local to the service
provider and do not map directly to L3SM.
Note that the use of L3NM within a service provider does not
assume nor preclude exposing the VPN service via the L3SM. This
is deployment-specific. Nevertheless, the design of L3NM tries to
align as much as possible with the features supported by the L3SM
to ease grafting both L3NM and L3SM for the sake of highly
automated VPN service provisioning and delivery.
Network Topology Modules: An L3VPN involves nodes that are part of a
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
topology managed by the service provider network. The topology
can be represented using the network topology YANG module defined
in [RFC8345] or its extension such as a User-Network Interface
(UNI) topology module (e.g., [I-D.ogondio-opsawg-uni-topology]).
Device Modules: L3NM is not a device model.
Once a global VPN service is captured by means of L3NM, the actual
activation and provisioning of the VPN service will involve a
variety of device modules to tweak the required functions for the
delivery of the service. These functions are supported by the VPN
nodes and can be managed using device YANG modules. A non-
comprehensive list of such device YANG modules is provided below:
* Routing management [RFC8349].
* BGP [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-model].
* PIM [I-D.ietf-pim-yang].
* NAT management [RFC8512].
* QoS management [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-qos-model].
* ACLs [RFC8519].
How L3NM is used to derive device-specific actions is
implementation-specific.
6. Sample Uses of the L3NM Data Model
This section provides a non-exhaustive list of examples to illustrate
contexts where the L3NM can be used.
6.1. Enterprise Layer 3 VPN Services
Enterprise L3VPNs are one of the most demanded services for carriers,
and therefore, L3NM can be useful to automate the provisioning and
maintenance of these VPNs. Templates and batch processes can be
built, and as a result many parameters are needed for the creation
from scratch of a VPN that can be abstracted to the upper Software-
Defined Networking (SDN) [RFC7149][RFC7426] layer, but some manual
intervention will still be required.
A common function that is supported by VPNs is the addition or
removal of VPN nodes. Workflows can use the L3NM in these scenarios
to add or prune nodes from the network data model as required.

Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
6.2. Multi-Domain Resource Management
The implementation of L3VPN services which span across
administratively separated domains (i.e., that are under the
administration of different management systems or controllers)
requires some network resources to be synchronized between systems.
Particularly, resources must be adequately managed in each domain to
avoid broken configuration.
For example, route targets (RTs) shall be synchronized between PEs.
When all PEs are controlled by the same management system, RT
allocation can be performed by that management system. In cases
where the service spans across multiple management systems, the task
of allocating RTs has to be aligned across the domains, therefore,
the network model must provide a way to specify RTs. In addition,
route distinguishers (RDs) must also be synchronized to avoid
collisions in RD allocation between separate management systems. An
incorrect allocation might lead to the same RD and IP prefixes being
exported by different PEs.
6.3. Management of Multicast Services
Multicast services over L3VPN can be implemented using dual PIM MVPNs
(also known as, Draft Rosen model) [RFC6037] or Multiprotocol BGP
(MP-BGP)-based MVPNs [RFC6513][RFC6514]. Both methods are supported
and equally effective, but the main difference is that MBGP-based
MVPN does not require multicast configuration on the service provider
network. MBGP MVPNs employ the intra-autonomous system BGP control
plane and PIM sparse mode as the data plane. The PIM state
information is maintained between PEs using the same architecture
that is used for unicast VPNs.
On the other hand, [RFC6037] has limitations such as reduced options
for transport, control plane scalability, availability, operational
inconsistency, and the need of maintaining state in the backbone.
Because of these limitations, MBGP MVPN is the architectural model
that has been taken as the base for implementing multicast service in
L3VPNs. In this scenario, BGP is used to auto-discover MVPN PE
members and the customer PIM signaling is sent across the provider's
core through MP-BGP. The multicast traffic is transported on MPLS
P2MP LSPs.
7. Description of the L3NM YANG Module
The L3NM ('ietf-l3vpn-ntw') is defined to manage L3VPNs in a service
provider network. In particular, the 'ietf-l3vpn-ntw' module can be
used to create, modify, and retrieve L3VPN services of a network.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
The full tree diagram of the module can be generated using the
"pyang" tool [PYANG]. That tree is not included here because it is
too long (Section 3.3 of [RFC8340]). Instead, subtrees are provided
for the reader's convenience.
7.1. Overall Structure of the Module
The 'ietf-l3vpn-ntw' module uses two main containers: 'vpn-services'
and 'vpn-profiles' (see Figure 3).
The 'vpn-profiles' container is used by the provider to maintain a
set of common VPN profiles that apply to one or several VPN services
(Section 7.2).
The 'vpn-services' container maintains the set of VPN services
managed within the service provider network. 'vpn-service' is the
data structure that abstracts a VPN service (Section 7.3).

Figure 3: Overall L3NM Tree Structure
Some of the data nodes are keyed by the address-family. For the sake
of data representation compactness, It is RECOMMENDED to use the
dual-stack address-family for data nodes that have the same value for
both IPv4 and IPv6. If, for some reasons, a data node is present for
both dual-stack and IPv4 (or IPv6), the value that is indicated under
dual-stack takes precedence over the one that is indicated under IPv4
(or IPv6).

Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
7.2. VPN Profiles
The 'vpn-profiles' container (Figure 4) allows the VPN service
provider to define and maintain a set of VPN profiles
[I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common] that apply to one or several VPN
services.

Figure 4: VPN Profiles Subtree Structure
This document does not make any assumption about the exact definition
of these profiles. The exact definition of the profiles is local to
each VPN service provider. The model only includes an identifier to
these profiles in order to facilitate identifying and binding local
policies when building a VPN service. As shown in Figure 4, the
following identifiers can be included:
'external-connectivity-identifier': This identifier refers to a
profile that defines the external connectivity provided to a VPN
service (or a subset of VPN sites). An external connectivity may
be an access to the Internet or a restricted connectivity such as
access to a public/private cloud.
'encryption-profile-identifier': An encryption profile refers to a
set of policies related to the encryption schemes and setup that
can be applied when building and offering a VPN service.
'qos-profile-identifier': A Quality of Service (QoS) profile refers
to a set of policies such as classification, marking, and actions
(e.g., [RFC3644]).
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
'bfd-profile-identifier': A Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
profile refers to a set of BFD [RFC5880] policies that can be
invoked when building a VPN service.
'forwarding-profile-identifier': A forwarding profile refers to the
policies that apply to the forwarding of packets conveyed within a
VPN. Such policies may consist, for example, of applying Access
Control Lists (ACLs).
'routing-profile-identifier': A routing profile refers to a set of
routing policies that will be invoked (e.g., BGP policies) when
delivering the VPN service.
7.3. VPN Services
The 'vpn-service' is the data structure that abstracts a VPN service
in the service provider network. Each 'vpn-service' is uniquely
identified by an identifier: 'vpn-id'. Such 'vpn-id' is only
meaningful locally (e.g., the network controller). The subtree of
the 'vpn-services' is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: VPN Services Subtree Structure
The description of the VPN service data nodes that are depicted in
Figure 5 are as follows:
'vpn-id': Is an identifier that is used to uniquely identify the
L3VPN service within L3NM scope.
'vpn-name': Associates a name with the service in order to
facilitate the identification of the service.
'vpn-description': Includes a textual description of the service.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
The internal structure of a VPN description is local to each VPN
service provider.
'customer-name': Indicates the name of the customer who ordered the
service.
'parent-service-id': Refers to an identifier of the parent service
(e.g, L3SM, IETF network slice, VPN+) that triggered the creation
of the VPN service. This identifier is used to easily correlate
the (network) service as built in the network with a service
order. A controller can use that correlation to enrich or
populate some fields (e.g., description fields) as a function of
local deployments.
'vpn-type': Indicates the VPN type. The values are taken from
[I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common]. For the L3NM, this is typically set
to BGP/MPLS L3VPN, but other values may be defined in the future
to support specific Layer 3 VPN capabilities (e.g.,
[I-D.ietf-bess-evpn-prefix-advertisement]).
'vpn-service-topology': Indicates the network topology for the
service: hub-spoke, any-to-any, or custom. The network
implementation of this attribute is defined by the correct usage
of import and export profiles (Section 4.3.5 of [RFC4364]).
'status': Is used to track the service status of a given VPN
service. Both operational and administrative status are
maintained together with a timestamp. For example, a service can
be created, but not put into effect.
Administrative and operational status can be used as a trigger to
detect service anomalies. For example, a service that is declared
at the service layer as being active but still inactive at the
network layer may be an indication that network provision actions
are needed to align the observed service status with the expected
service status.
'vpn-instance-profiles': Defines reusable parameters for the same
'vpn-service'.
More details are provided in Section 7.4.
'underlay-transport': Describes the preference for the transport
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
technology to carry the traffic of the VPN service. This
preference is especially useful in networks with multiple domains
and Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) types. The underlay
transport can be expressed as an abstract transport instance
(e.g., an identifier of a VPN+ instance, a virtual network
identifier, or a network slice name) or as an ordered list of the
actual protocols to be enabled in the network.
A rich set of protocol identifiers that can be used to refer to an
underlay transport are defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common].
'external-connectivity': Indicates whether/how external connectivity
is provided to the VPN service. For example, a service provider
may provide an external connectivity to a VPN customer (e.g., to a
public cloud). Such service may involve tweaking both filtering
and NAT rules (e.g., bind a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
interface with a NAT instance as discussed in Section 2.10 of
[RFC8512]). These added value features may be bound to all or a
subset of network accesses. Some of these added value features
may be implemented in a PE or in other nodes than PEs (e.g., a P
node or even a dedicated node that hosts the NAT function).
Only a pointer to a local profile that defines the external
connectivity feature is supported in this document.
'vpn-node': Is an abstraction that represents a set of policies
applied to a network node and that belong to a single 'vpn-
service'. A VPN service is typically built by adding instances of
'vpn-node' to the 'vpn-nodes' container.
A 'vpn-node' contains 'vpn-network-accesses', which are the
interfaces attached to the VPN by which the customer traffic is
received. Therefore, the customer sites are connected to the
'vpn-network-accesses'.
Note that, as this is a network data model, the information about
customers sites is not required in the model. Such information is
rather relevant in the L3SM. Whether that information is included
in the L3NM, e.g., to populate the various 'description' data node
is implementation specific.
More details are provided in Section 7.5.

Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
7.4. VPN Instance Profiles
VPN instance profiles are meant to factorize data nodes that are used
at many levels of the model. Generic VPN instance profiles are
defined at the VPN service level and then called at the VPN node and
VPN network access levels. Each VPN instance profile is identified
by 'profile-id'. This identifier is then referenced for one or
multiple VPN nodes (Section 7.5) so that the controller can identify
generic resources (e.g., RTs and RDs) to be configured for a given
VRF.
The subtree of 'vpn-instance-profile' is shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Subtree Structure of VPN Instance Profiles
The description of the listed data nodes is as follows:
'profile-id': Is used to uniquely identify a VPN instance profile.
'role': Indicates the role of the VPN instance profile in the VPN.
Role values are defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common] (e.g.,
any-to-any-role, spoke-role, hub-role).
'local-as': Indicates the Autonomous System Number (ASN) that is
configured for the VPN node.
'rd': As defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common], the following RD
assignment modes are supported: direct assignment, automatic
assignment from a given pool, automatic assignment, and no
assignment. For illustration purposes, the following modes can be
used in the deployment cases:
'directly-assigned': The VPN service provider (service
orchestrator) assigns explicitly RDs. This case will fit with
a brownfield scenario where some existing services need to be
updated by the VPN service provider.
'full-auto': The network controller auto-assigns RDs. This can
apply for the deployment of new services.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
'no-rd': The VPN service provider (service orchestrator)
explicitly wants no RD to be assigned. This case can be used
for CE testing within the network or for troubleshooting
proposes.
Also, the module accommodates deployments where only the Assigned
Number subfield of RDs (Section 4.2 of [RFC4364]) is assigned from
a pool while the Administrator subfield is set to, e.g., the
Router ID that is assigned to a VPN node. The module supports
these modes for managing the Assigned Number subfield: explicit
assignment, auto-assignment from a pool, and full auto-assignment.
'address-family': Includes a set of per-address family data nodes:
'address-family': Identifies the address family. It can be set
to IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack.
'vpn-targets': Specifies RT import/export rules for the VPN
service (Section 4.3 of [RFC4364]).
'maximum-routes': Indicates the maximum number of prefixes that
the VPN node can accept for a given routing protocol. If
'protocol' is set to 'any', this means that the maximum value
applies to each active routing protocol.
'multicast': Enables multicast traffic in the VPN service. Refer to
Section 7.7.
7.5. VPN Nodes
The 'vpn-node' is an abstraction that represents a set of common
policies applied on a given network node (typically, a PE) and belong
to one L3VPN service. The 'vpn-node' includes a parameter to
indicate the network node on which it is applied. In the case that
the 'ne-id' points to a specific PE, the 'vpn-node' will likely be
mapped into a VRF in the node. However, the model also allows
pointing to an abstract node. In this case, the network controller
will decide how to split the 'vpn-node' into VRFs.

Figure 7: VPN Node Subtree Structure
In reference to the subtree shown in Figure 7, the description of VPN
node data nodes is as follows:
'vpn-node-id': Is an identifier that uniquely identifies a node that
enables a VPN network access.
'description': Provides a textual description of the VPN node.
'ne-id': Includes a unique identifier of the network element where
the VPN node is deployed.
'local-autonomous-system': Indicates the ASN that is configured for
the VPN node.
'router-id': Indicates a 32-bit number that is used to uniquely
identify a router within an Autonomous System.
'active-vpn-instance-profiles': Lists the set of active VPN instance
profiles for this VPN node. Concretely, one or more VPN instance
profiles that are defined at the VPN service level can be enabled
at the VPN node level; each of these profiles is uniquely
identified by means of 'profile-id'. The structure of 'active-
vpn-instance-profiles' is the same as the one discussed in
Section 7.4 except 'router-id'. The value of 'router-id'
indicated under 'active-vpn-instance-profiles' takes precedence
over the 'router-id' under the 'vpn-node' for the indicated
address family. For example, Router IDs can be configured per
address family. This capability can be used, for example, to
configure an IPv6 address as a Router ID when such capability is
supported by involved routers.
Values defined in 'active-vpn-instance-profiles' overrides the
ones defined in the VPN service level. An example is shown in
Appendix A.3.
'msdp': For redundancy purposes, Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
(MSDP) [RFC3618] may be enabled and used to share the state about
sources between multiple Rendezvous Points (RPs). The purpose of
MSDP in this context is to enhance the robustness of the multicast
service. MSDP may be configured on non-RP routers, which is
useful in a domain that does not support multicast sources, but
does support multicast transit.
'groups': Lists the groups to which a VPN node belongs to
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
[I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common]. The 'group-id' is used to
associate, e.g., redundancy or protection constraints with VPN
nodes.
'status': Tracks the status of a node involved in a VPN service.
Both operational and administrative status are maintained. A
mismatch between the administrative status vs. the operational
status can be used as a trigger to detect anomalies.
'vpn-network-accesses': Represents the point to which sites are
connected.
Note that, unlike in the L3SM, the L3NM does not need to model the
customer site, only the points where the traffic from the site are
received (i.e., the PE side of PE-CE connections). Hence, the VPN
network access contains the connectivity information between the
provider's network and the customer premises. The VPN profiles
('vpn-profiles') have a set of routing policies that can be
applied during the service creation.
See Section 7.6 for more details.
7.6. VPN Network Accesses
The 'vpn-network-access' includes a set of data nodes that describe
the access information for the traffic that belongs to a particular

Figure 8: VPN Network Access Subtree Structure
In reference to the subtree depicted in Figure 8, a 'vpn-network-
access' includes the following data nodes:
'id': Is an identifier of the VPN network access.
'interface-id': Indicates the physical or logical interface on which
the VPN network access is bound.
'description': Includes a textual description of the VPN network
access.
'vpn-network-access-type': Is used to select the type of network
interface to be deployed in the devices. The available defined
values are:
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
'point-to-point': Represents a direct connection between the
endpoints. The controller must keep the association between a
logical or physical interface on the device with the 'id' of
the 'vpn-network-access'.
'multipoint': Represents a multipoint connection between the
customer site and the PEs. The controller must keep the
association between a logical or physical interface on the
device with the 'id' of the 'vpn-network-access'.
'irb': Represents a connection coming from an L2VPN service. An
identifier of such service ('l2vpn-id') may be included in the
'connection' container as depicted in Figure 9. The controller
must keep the relationship between the logical tunnels or
bridges on the devices with the 'id' of the' vpn-network-
access'.
'loopback': Represents the creation of a logical interface on a
device. An example to illustrate how a loopback interface can
be used in the L3NM is provided in Appendix A.2.
'vpn-instance-profile': Provides a pointer to an active VPN instance
profile at the VPN node level. Referencing an active VPN instance
profile implies that all associated data nodes will be inherited
by the VPN network access. However, some inherited data nodes
(e.g., multicast) can be overridden at the VPN network access
level. In such case, adjusted values take precedence over
inherited ones.
'status': Indicates both operational and administrative status of a
VPN network access.
'connection': Represents and groups the set of Layer 2 connectivity
from where the traffic of the L3VPN in a particular VPN Network
access is coming. See Section 7.6.1.
'ip-connection': Contains Layer 3 connectivity information of a VPN
network access (e.g., IP addressing). See Section 7.6.2.
'routing-protocols': Includes the CE-PE routing configuration
information. See Section 7.6.3.
'oam': Specifies the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM) mechanisms used for a VPN network access. See
Section 7.6.4.
'security': Specifies the authentication and the encryption to be
applied for a given VPN network access. See Section 7.6.5.

'service': Specifies the service parameters (e.g., QoS, multicast)
to apply for a given VPN network access. See Section 7.6.6.
7.6.1. Connection
The 'connection' container represents the layer 2 connectivity to the
L3VPN for a particular VPN network access. As shown in the tree
depicted in Figure 9, the 'connection' container defines protocols
and parameters to enable such connectivity at layer 2.
The traffic can enter the VPN with or without encapsulation (e.g.,
VLAN, QinQ). The 'encapsulation' container specifies the layer 2
encapsulation to use (if any) and allows to configure the relevant
tags.
The interface that is attached to the L3VPN is identified by the
'interface-id' at the 'vpn-network-access' level. From a network
model perspective, it is expected that the 'interface-id' is
sufficient to identify the interface. However, specific layer 2 sub-
interfaces may be required to be configured in some implementations/
deployments. Such a layer 2 specific interface can be included in
'l2-termination-point'.
If a layer 2 tunnel is needed to terminate the service in the CE-PE
connection, the 'l2-tunnel-service' container is used to specify the
required parameters to set such tunneling service (e.g., VPLS,
VXLAN). An identity, called 'l2-tunnel-type', is defined for layer 2
tunnel selection. The container can also identify the pseudowire
(Section 6.1 of [RFC8077]).
As discussed in Section 7.6, 'l2vpn-id' is used to identify the L2VPN
service that is associated with an IRB interface.
To accommodate implementations that require internal bridging, a
local bridge reference can be specified in 'local-bridge-reference'.
Such a reference may be a local bridge domain.
A site, as per [RFC4176] represents a VPN customer's location that is
connected to the service provider network via a CE-PE link, which can
access at least one VPN. The connection from the site to the service
provider network is the bearer. Every site is associated with a list
of bearers. A bearer is the layer two connection with the site. In
the L3NM, it is assumed that the bearer has been allocated by the
service provider at the service orchestration stage. The bearer is
associated to a network element and a port. Hence, a bearer is just
a 'bearer-reference' to allow the association between a service
request (e.g., L3SM) and L3NM.

Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
The L3NM can be used to create a LAG interface for a given L3VPN
service ('lag-interface') [IEEE802.1AX]. Such a LAG interface can be
referenced under 'interface-id' (Section 7.6).

7.6.2. IP Connection
This container is used to group Layer 3 connectivity information,
particularly the IP addressing information, of a VPN network access.
The allocated address represents the PE interface address
configuration. Note that a distinct layer 3 interface other than the
one indicated under the 'connection' container may be needed to
terminate the layer 3 service. The identifier of such interface is
included in 'l3-termination-point'. For example, this data node can
be used to carry the identifier of a bridge domain interface.
As shown in Figure 10, the 'ip-connection' container can include
IPv4, IPv6, or both if dual-stack is enabled.

Figure 10: IP Connection Subtree Structure
For both IPv4 and IPv6, the IP connection supports three IP address
assignment modes for customer addresses: provider DHCP, DHCP relay,
and static addressing. Note that for the IPv6 case, SLAAC [RFC4862]
can be used. For both IPv4 and IPv6, 'address-allocation-type' is
used to indicate the IP address allocation mode to activate for a
given VPN network access.
When 'address-allocation-type' is set to 'provider-dhcp', DHCP
assignments can be made locally or by an external DHCP server. Such
as behavior is controlled by setting 'dhcp-service-type'.
Figure 11 shows the structure of the dynamic IPv4 address assignment
(i.e., by means of DHCP).

Figure 12 shows the structure of the dynamic IPv6 address assignment
(i.e., DHCPv6 and/or SLAAC). Note that if 'address-allocation-type'
is set to 'slaac', the Prefix Information option of Router
Advertisements that will be issued for SLAAC purposes, will carry the
IPv6 prefix that is determined by 'local-address' and 'prefix-
length'. For example, if 'local-address' is set to '2001:db8:0:1::1'
and 'prefix-length' is set to '64', the IPv6 prefix that will be used
is '2001:db8:0:1::/64'.

7.6.3. CE-PE Routing Protocols
A VPN service provider can configure one or more routing protocols
associated with a particular 'vpn-network-access'. Such routing
protocols are enabled between the PE and the CE. Each instance is
uniquely identified to accommodate scenarios where multiple instances
of the same routing protocol have to be configured on the same link.
The subtree of the 'routing-protocols' is shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14: Routing Subtree Structure
Multiple routing instances can be defined; each uniquely identified
by an 'id'. The type of routing instance is indicated in 'type'.
The values of these attributes are those defined in
[I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common] ('routing-protocol-type' identity).
Configuring multiple instances of the same routing protocol does not
automatically imply that, from a device configuration perspective,
there will be parallel instances (e.g., multiple processes) running
on the PE-CE link. It is up to each implementation (typically,
network orchestration shown in Figure 1) to decide about the
appropriate configuration as a function of underlying capabilities
and service provider operational guidelines. As an example, when
multiple BGP peers need to be implemented, multiple instances of BGP
must be configured as part of this model. However, from a device
configuration point of view, this could be implemented as:
* Multiple BGP processes with a single neighbor running in each
process.
* A single BGP process with multiple neighbors running.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
* A combination thereof.
Routing configuration does not include low-level policies. Such
policies are handled at the device configuration level. Local
policies of a service provider (e.g., filtering) are implemented as
part of the device configuration; these are not captured in the L3NM,
but the model allows local profiles to be associated with routing
instances ('routing-profiles'). Note that these routing profiles can
be scoped to capture parameters that are globally applied to all
L3VPN services within a service provider network, while customized
L3VPN parameters are captured by means of the L3NM. The provisioning
of an L3VPN service will, thus, rely upon the instantiation of these
global routing profiles and the customized L3NM.
7.6.3.1. Static Routing
The L3NM supports the configuration of one or more IPv4/IPv6 static
routes. Since the same structure is used for both IPv4 and IPv6, it
was considered to have one single container to group both static
entries independently of their address family, but that design was
abandoned to ease the mapping with the structure in [RFC8299].

As depicted in Figure 15, the following data nodes can be defined for
a given IP prefix:

used to enforce local policies.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
'next-hop': Indicates the next-hop to be used for the static route.
It can be identified by an IP address, an interface, etc.
'bfd-enable': Indicates whether BFD is enabled or disabled for this
static route entry.
'metric': Indicates the metric associated with the static route
entry.
'preference': Indicates the preference associated with the static
route entry. This preference is used to selecting a preferred
route among routes to the same destination prefix.
'status': Used to convey the status of a static route entry. This
data node can also be used to control the (de)activation of
individual static route entries.
7.6.3.2. BGP
The L3NM allows the configuration of a BGP neighbor, including a set
for parameters that are pertinent to be tweaked at the network level
for service customization purposes. The 'bgp' container does not aim
to include every BGP parameter; a comprehensive set of parameters
belongs more to the BGP device model.

Figure 16: BGP Routing Subtree Structure
The following data nodes are captured in Figure 16. It is up to the
implementation (e.g., network orchestrator) to derive the
corresponding BGP device configuration:
'description': Includes a description of the BGP session.
'local-as': Indicates a local AS Number (ASN) if a distinct ASN is
required, other than the one configured at the VPN node level.
'peer-as': Conveys the customer's ASN.
'address-family': Indicates the address-family of the peer. It can
be set to IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
This address family will be used together with the 'vpn-type' to
derive the appropriate Address Family Identifiers
(AFIs)/Subsequent Address Family Identifiers (SAFIs) that will be
part of the derived device configurations (e.g., Unicast IPv4 MPLS
L3VPN (AFI,SAFI = 1,128) defined in Section 4.3.4 of [RFC4364]).
'local-address': Specifies an address or a reference to an interface
to use when establishing the BGP transport session.
'neighbor': Can indicate two neighbors (each for a given address-
family) or one neighbor (if 'address-family' attribute is set to
dual-stack). A list of IP address(es) of the BGP neighbors can be
then conveyed in this data node.
'multihop': Indicates the number of allowed IP hops between a PE and
its BGP peer.
'as-override': If set, this parameter indicates whether ASN override
is enabled, i.e., replace the ASN of the customer specified in the
AS_PATH BGP attribute with the ASN identified in the 'local-as'
attribute.
'allow-own-as': Is used in some topologies (e.g., hub-and-spoke) to
allow the provider's ASN to be included in the AS_PATH BGP
attribute received from a CE. Loops are prevented by setting
'allow-own-as' to a maximum number of provider's ASN occurrences.
This parameter is set by default to '0' (that is, reject any
AS_PATH attribute that includes the provider's ASN).
'prepend-global-as': When distinct ASNs are configured in the VPN
node and network access levels, this parameter controls whether
the ASN provided at the VPN node level is prepended to the AS_PATH
attribute.
'send-default-route': Controls whether default routes can be
advertised to the peer.
'site-of-origin': Is meant to uniquely identify the set of routes
learned from a site via a particular CE/PE connection and is used
to prevent routing loops (Section 7 of [RFC4364]). The Site of
Origin attribute is encoded as a Route Origin Extended Community.
'ipv6-site-of-origin': Carries an IPv6 Address Specific BGP Extended
Community that is used to indicate the Site of Origin for VRF
information [RFC5701]. It is used to prevent routing loops.
'redistribute-connected': Controls whether the PE-CE link is
advertised to other PEs.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
'bgp-max-prefix': Controls the behavior when a prefix maximum is
reached.
'max-prefix': Indicates the maximum number of BGP prefixes
allowed in the BGP session. If the limit is reached, the
action indicated in 'violate-action' will be followed.
'warning-threshold': A warning notification is triggered when
this limit is reached.
'violate-action': Indicates which action to execute when the
maximum number of BGP prefixes is reached. Examples of such
actions are: send a warning message, discard extra paths from
the peer, or restart the session.
'restart-timer': Indicates, in seconds, the time interval after
which the BGP session will be reestablished.
'bgp-timers': Two timers can be captured in this container: (1)
'hold-time' which is the time interval that will be used for the
HoldTimer (Section 4.2 of [RFC4271]) when establishing a BGP
session. (2) 'keepalive' which is the time interval for the
KeepAlive timer between a PE and a BGP peer (Section 4.4 of
[RFC4271]). Both timers are expressed in seconds.
'authentication': The module adheres to the recommendations in
Section 13.2 of [RFC4364] as it allows enabling TCP-AO [RFC5925]
and accommodates the installed base that makes use of MD5. In
addition, the module includes a provision for the use of IPsec.
This version of the L3NM assumes that TCP-AO specific parameters
are preconfigured as part of the key-chain that is referenced in
the L3NM. No assumption is made about how such a key-chain is
pre-configured. However, the structure of the key-chain should
cover data nodes beyond those in [RFC8177], mainly SendID and
RecvID (Section 3.1 of [RFC5925]).
'status': Indicates the status of the BGP routing instance.
7.6.3.3. OSPF
OSPF can be configured to run as a routing protocol on the 'vpn-
network-access'.

families are to be activated.
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
When the IPv4 or dual-stack address-family is requested, it is up
to the implementation (e.g., network orchestrator) to decide
whether OSPFv2 [RFC4577] or OSPFv3 [RFC6565] is used to announce
IPv4 routes. Such decision will be typically reflected in the
device configurations that will be derived to implement the L3VPN.
'area-id': Indicates the OSPF Area ID.
'metric': Associates a metric with OSPF routes.
'sham-links': Is used to create OSPF sham links between two VPN
network accesses sharing the same area and having a backdoor link
(Section 4.2.7 of [RFC4577] and Section 5 of [RFC6565]).
'max-lsa': Sets the maximum number of LSAs that the OSPF instance
will accept.
'authentication': Controls the authentication schemes to be enabled
for the OSPF instance. The following options are supported: IPsec
for OSPFv3 authentication [RFC4552], authentication trailer for
OSPFv2 [RFC5709] [RFC7474] and OSPFv3 [RFC7166].
'status': Indicates the status of the OSPF routing instance.

The following OAM data nodes can be specified:
'session-type': Indicates which BFD flavor is used to set up the
session (e.g., classic BFD [RFC5880], Seamless BFD [RFC7880]). By
default, the BFD session is assumed to follow the behavior
specified in [RFC5880].
'desired-min-tx-interval': Is the minimum interval, in microseconds,
that a PE would like to use when transmitting BFD Control packets
less any jitter applied.
'required-min-rx-interval': Is the minimum interval, in
microseconds, between received BFD Control packets that a PE is
capable of supporting, less any jitter applied by the sender.
'local-multiplier': The negotiated transmit interval, multiplied by
this value, provides the detection time for the peer.
'holdtime': Is used to indicate the expected BFD holddown time, in

can be set by the provider or inherited from the service request
(see Section 6.3.2.2.2 of [RFC8299]).
'authentication': Includes the required information to enable the
BFD authentication modes discussed in Section 6.7 of [RFC5880].
In particular 'meticulous' controls the activation of the
meticulous mode discussed in Sections 6.7.3 and 6.7.4 of
[RFC5880].
'status': Indicates the status of BFD.
7.6.5. Security
The 'security' container specifies the authentication and the
encryption to be applied for a given VPN network access traffic. As

protocol can be indicated in the 'protocol' data node under 'l3'
(Figure 25), but only TCP and UDP specific match criteria are
elaborated in this version as these protocols are widely used in
the context of VPN services. Augmentations can be considered in
the future to add other Layer 4 specific data nodes, if needed.
TCP or UDP-related match criteria can be specified in the L3NM as
shown in Figure 26.
As discussed in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common], 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 shown in Figure 26, part of the
TCP/UDP payload, or a combination thereof. This version of the
module does not support such advanced match criteria. Future
revisions of the VPN common module or augmentations to the L3NM
may consider adding match criteria based on the transport protocol
payload (e.g., by means of a bitmask match).

Figure 28: Multicast Subtree Structure (VPN Instance Profile Level)
The model supports a single type of tree per VPN access ('tree-
flavor'): Any-Source Multicast (ASM), Source-Specific Multicast
(SSM), or bidirectional.
When ASM is used, the model supports the configuration of Rendezvous
Points (RPs). RP discovery may be 'static', 'bsr-rp', or 'auto-rp'.
When set to 'static', RP to multicast grouping mappings MUST be
configured as part of the 'rp-group-mappings' container. The RP MAY
be a provider node or a customer node. When the RP is a customer
node, the RP address must be configured using the 'rp-address' leaf.
The model supports RP redundancy through the 'rp-redundancy' leaf.
How the redundancy is achieved is out of scope.
When a particular VPN using ASM requires a more optimal traffic
delivery (e.g., requested using [RFC8299]), 'optimal-traffic-
delivery' can be set. When set to 'true', the implementation must
use any mechanism to provide a more optimal traffic delivery for the
customer. For example, anycast is one of the mechanisms to enhance
RPs redundancy, resilience against failures, and to recover from
failures quickly.
The same structure as the one depicted in Figure 30 is used when
configuring multicast-related parameters at the VPN node level. When
defined at the VPN node level (Figure 29), Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) [RFC1112][RFC2236][RFC3376], Multicast Listener
Discovery (MLD) [RFC2710][RFC3810], and Protocol Independent
Multicast (PIM) [RFC7761] parameters are applicable to all VPN
network accesses of that VPN node unless corresponding nodes are
overridden at the VPN network access level.

9. 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.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this 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)
and delete operations to these data nodes without proper protection
or authentication can have a negative effect on network operations.
These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/
vulnerability in the "ietf-l3vpn-ntw" module:
* 'vpn-profiles': This container includes a set of sensitive data
that influence how the L3VPN service is delivered. For example,
an attacker who has access to these data nodes may be able to
manipulate routing policies, QoS policies, or encryption
properties. These data nodes are defined with "nacm:default-deny-
write" tagging [I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common].
* 'vpn-services': An attacker who is able to access network nodes
can undertake various attacks, such as deleting a running L3VPN
service, interrupting all the traffic of a client. In addition,
an attacker may modify the attributes of a running service (e.g.,
Barguil, et al. Expires 11 April 2022 [Page 121]
Internet-Draft L3NM YANG Model October 2021
QoS, bandwidth, routing protocols, keying material), leading to
malfunctioning of the service and therefore to SLA violations. In
addition, an attacker could attempt to create an L3VPN service or
add a new network access. In addition to using NACM to prevent
authorized access, such activity can be detected by adequately
monitoring and tracking network configuration changes.
Some readable data nodes in this 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:
* 'customer-name' and 'ip-connection': An attacker can retrieve
privacy-related information which can be used to track a customer.
Disclosing such information may be considered as a violation of
the customer-provider trust relationship.
* 'keying-material': An attacker can retrieve the cryptographic keys
protecting the underlying VPN service (CE-PE routing, in
particular). These keys could be used to inject spoofed routing
advertisements.
Several data nodes ('bgp', 'ospf', 'isis', 'rip', and 'bfd') rely
upon [RFC8177] for authentication purposes. Therefore, this module
inherits the security considerations discussed in Section 5 of
[RFC8177]. Also, these data nodes support supplying explicit keys as
strings in ASCII format. The use of keys in hexadecimal string
format would afford greater key entropy with the same number of key-
string octets. However, such format is not included in this version
of the L3NM because it is not supported by the underlying device
modules (e.g., [RFC8695]).
As discussed in Section 7.6.3, the module supports MD5 to basically
accommodate the installed BGP base. MD5 suffers from the security
weaknesses discussed in Section 2 of [RFC6151] or Section 2.1 of
[RFC6952].

Appendix A. L3VPN Examples
A.1. 4G VPN Provisioning Example
L3VPNs are widely used to deploy 3G/4G, fixed, and enterprise
services mainly because several traffic discrimination policies can
be applied within the network to deliver to the mobile customers a
service that meets the SLA requirements.
As it is shown in the Figure 31, typically, an eNodeB (CE) is
directly connected to the access routers of the mobile backhaul and
their logical interfaces (one or many according to the service type)
are configured in a VPN that transports the packets to the mobile
core platforms. In this example, a 'vpn-node' is created with two
'vpn-network-accesses'.
+-------------+ +------------------+
| | | PE |
| | | 198.51.100.1 |
| eNodeB |>--------/------->|........... |
| | vlan 1 | | |
| |>--------/------->|...... | |
| | vlan 2 | | | |
| | Direct | +-------------+ |
+-------------+ Routing | | vpn-node-id | |
| | 44 | |
| +-------------+ |

Figure 31: Mobile Backhaul Example
To create an L3VPN service using the L3NM, the following steps can be
followed.
First: Create the 4G VPN service (Figure 32).

Second: Create a VPN node as depicted in Figure 33. In this type of
service, the VPN node is equivalent to the VRF configured in the
physical device ('ne-id'=198.51.100.1).

Finally, two VPN network accesses are created using the same physical
port ('interface-id'=1/1/1). Each 'vpn-network-access' has a
particular VLAN (1,2) to differentiate the traffic between: Sync and
data (Figure 34).

A.3. Overriding VPN Instance Profile Parameters
Figure 36 shows a simplified example to illustrate how some
information that is provided at the VPN service level (particularly
as part of the 'vpn-instance-profiles') can be overridden by the one
configured at the VPN node level. In this example, PE3 and PE4
inherit the 'vpn-instance-profiles' parameters that are specified at
the VPN service level, but PE1 and PE2 are provided with "maximum-
routes" values at the VPN node level that override the ones that are
specified at the VPN service level.

A.4. Multicast VPN Provisioning Example
IPTV is mainly distributed through multicast over the LANs. In the
following example, PIM-SM is enabled and functional between the PE
and the CE. The PE receives multicast traffic from a CE that is
directly connected to the multicast source. The signaling between PE
and CE is achieved using BGP. Also, RP is statically configured for
a multicast group.

| Multicast |---| CE |--/--| PE |----| Backbone |

Figure 37: Multicast L3VPN Service Example
An example is provided below to illustrate how to configure a
multicast L3VPN service using the L3NM.
First, the multicast service is created together with a generic VPN
instance profile (see the excerpt of the request message body shown
in Figure 38)

This section records the status of known implementations of the YANG
module defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
document and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942]. The
description of implementations in this section is intended to assist
the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to RFCs.
Please note that the listing of any individual implementation here
does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort has
been spent to verify the information presented here that was supplied
by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not be
construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
exist.
According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
they see fit".
