                     RIB Extension YANG Data Model
                  draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-11

Abstract

   A Routing Information Base (RIB) is a list of routes and their
   corresponding administrative data and operational state.

   RFC 8349 defines the basic building blocks for RIB, and this model
   augments it to support multiple next-hops (aka, paths) for each route
   as well as additional attributes.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model which extends the
   RIBs defined in ietf-routing YANG module [RFC8349] with more route
   attributes.

   A RIB is a collection of routes with attributes controlled and
   manipulated by control-plane protocols.  Each RIB contains only
   routes of one address family [RFC8349].  Within a protocol, routes
   are selected based on the metrics in use by that protocol, and the
   protocol installs the routes to RIB.  RIB selects the preferred
   routes by comparing the route-preference (aka, administrative
   distance) of the associated protocol.

   The module defined in this document extends the RIBs to support more
   route attributes, such as multiple next-hops, route metrics, and
   administrative tags.

2.1.  Tree Diagrams

   Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
   [RFC8340].

2.2.  Prefixes in Data Node Names

   In this document, names of data nodes, actions, and other data model
   objects are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from
   the context in which YANG module each name is defined.  Otherwise,
   names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the
   corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1.

            | Prefix | YANG module               | Reference |

3.  Design of the Model

   The YANG module defined in this document augments the ietf-routing
   YANG model defined in [RFC8349], which provides a basis for routing
   system data model development.  Together with YANG modules defined in
   [RFC8349], a generic RIB YANG model is defined to implement and
   monitor a RIB.

   The models in [RFC8349] also define the basic configuration and
   operational state for both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes.  This
   document provides augmentations for static routes to support multiple
   next-hops and more next-hop attributes.

3.1.  Tags and Preference

   Individual route tags are supported at both the route and next-hop
   level.  A preference per next-hop is also supported for selection of
   the most preferred reachable static route.

   The following tree snapshot shows tag and preference which augment
   static IPv4 unicast routes and IPv6 unicast routes next-hop.

             /rt:control-plane-protocol/rt:static-routes/v4ur:ipv4
             /v4ur:route/v4ur:next-hop/v4ur:next-hop-options

       +--rw preference?   uint32
       +--rw tag?          uint32
     augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
             /rt:control-plane-protocol/rt:static-routes/v6ur:ipv6
             /v6ur:route/v6ur:next-hop/v6ur:next-hop-options
             /v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop:
       +--rw preference?   uint32
       +--rw tag?          uint32

3.2.  Repair Path

   The IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) pre-computes repair paths by routing
   protocols [RFC5714], and the repair paths are installed in the RIB.

   Each route in the RIB is augmented with repair paths if available,
   and is shown in the following tree snapshot.

6.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module specified in this document defines a 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 NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to
   restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a pre-
   configured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
   operations and content.

   There are a number of data nodes defined in ietf-rib-extensions.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:

      /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference

      /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag

      /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list
      /v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference

      /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list
      /v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag

      /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference

      /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag

      /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list
      /v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference

      /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list
      /v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag

      For these augmentations to ietf-routing.yang, the ability to
      delete, add, and modify IPv4 and IPv6 static route preference and
      tag would allow traffic to be misrouted.

   Some of the readable data nodes in the ietf-rib-extensions.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:

      /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rib-ext:statistics

      /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:metric

      /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:tag

      /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route /rib-
      ext:application-tag

      The exposure of the Routing Information Base (RIB) will expose the
      routing topology of the network.  This may be undesirable since
      both due to the fact that exposure may facilitate other attacks.
      Additionally, network operators may consider their topologies to
      be sensitive confidential data.

   All the security considerations for [RFC8349] writable and readable
   data nodes apply to the augmentations described herein.
