    YANG Model for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Configuration
                      draft-ietf-tcpm-yang-tcp-00

Abstract

   This document specifies a YANG model for TCP on devices that are
   configured by network management protocols.  The YANG model defines a
   container for all TCP connections and groupings of some of the
   parameters that can be imported and used in TCP implementations or by
   other models that need to configure TCP parameters.  The model
   includes definitions from YANG Groupings for TCP Client and TCP
   Servers (I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server).  The model is NMDA (RFC
   8342) compliant.

1.  Introduction

   The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) [RFC0793] is used by many
   applications in the Internet, including control and management
   protocols.  Therefore, TCP is implemented on network elements that
   can be configured via network management protocols such as NETCONF
   [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  This document specifies a YANG
   [RFC7950] 1.1 model for configuring TCP on network elements that
   support YANG data models, and is Network Management Datastore
   Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342] compliant.  This module defines a
   container for TCP connection, and includes definitions from YANG
   Groupings for TCP Clients and TCP Servers
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].  The model has a narrow scope
   and focuses on fundamental TCP functions and basic statistics.  The
   model can be augmented or updated to address more advanced or
   implementation-specific TCP features in the future.

   Many protocol stacks on Internet hosts use other methods to configure
   TCP, such as operating system configuration or policies.  Many TCP/IP
   stacks cannot be configured by network management protocols such as
   NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  Moreover, many existing
   TCP/IP stacks do not use YANG data models.  Such TCP implementations
   often have other means to configure the parameters listed in this
   document, which are outside the scope of this document.

   This specification is orthogonal to the Management Information Base
   (MIB) for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) [RFC4022].  The
   basic statistics defined in this document follow the model of the TCP
   MIB.  An TCP Extended Statistics MIB [RFC4898] is also available, but
   this document does not cover such extended statistics.  It is
   possible also to translate a MIB into a YANG model, for instance
   using Translation of Structure of Management Information Version 2
   (SMIv2) MIB Modules to YANG Modules [RFC6643].  However, this
   approach is not used in this document, as such a translated model
   would not be up-to-date.

   There are other existing TCP-related YANG models, which are othogonal
   to this specification.  Examples are:

   o  TCP header attributes are modeled in other models, such as YANG
      Data Model for Network Access Control Lists (ACLs) [RFC8519] and
      Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Thread Signaling (DOTS) Data
      Channel Specification [I-D.ietf-dots-data-channel].

   o  TCP-related configuration of a NAT (e.g., NAT44, NAT64,
      Destination NAT, ...) is defined in A YANG Module for Network
      Address Translation (NAT) and Network Prefix Translation (NPT)
      [RFC8512] and A YANG Data Model for Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite)
      [RFC8513].

3.  Model Overview

3.1.  Modeling Scope

   TCP is implemented on many different system architectures.  As a
   result, there are may different and often implementation-specific
   ways to configure parameters of the TCP protocol engine.  In
   addition, in many TCP/IP stacks configuration exists for different
   scopes:

   o  Global configuration: Many TCP implementations have configuration
      parameters that affect all TCP connections.  Typical examples
      include enabling or disabling optional protocol features.

   o  Interface configuration: It can be useful to use different TCP
      parameters on different interfaces, e.g., different device ports
      or IP interfaces.  In that case, TCP parameters can be part of the
      interface configuration.  Typical examples are the Maximum Segment
      Size (MSS) or configuration related to hardware offloading.

   o  Connection parameters: Many implementations have means to
      influence the behavior of each TCP connection, e.g., on the
      programming interface used by applications.  A typical example are
      socket options in the socket API, such as disabling the Nagle
      algorithm by TCP_NODELAY.  If an application uses such an
      interface, it is possible that the configuration of the
      application or application protocol includes TCP-related
      parameters.  An example is the BGP YANG Model for Service Provider
      Networks [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-model].

   o  Policies: Setting of TCP parameters can also be part of system
      policies, templates, or profiles.  An example would be the
      preferences defined in An Abstract Application Layer Interface to
      Transport Services [I-D.ietf-taps-interface].

   As a result, there is no ground truth for setting certain TCP
   parameters, and traditionally different TCP implementation have used
   different modeling approaches.  For instance, one implementation may
   define a given configuration parameter globally, while another one
   uses per-interface settings, and both approaches work well for the
   corresponding use cases.  Also, different systems may use different
   default values.  In addition, TCP can be implemented in different

Scharf, et al.             Expires May 2, 2021                  [Page 4]
Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration               October 2020

   ways and design choices by the protocol engine often affect
   configuration options.

   Nonetheless, a number of TCP stack parameters require configuration
   by YANG models.  This document therefore defines a minimal YANG model
   with fundamental parameters directly following from TCP standards.

   An important use case is the TCP configuration on network elements
   such as routers, which often use YANG data models.  The model
   therefore specifies TCP parameters that are important on such TCP
   stacks.  A typical example is the support of TCP-AO [RFC5925].  TCP-
   AO is increasingly supported on routers to secure routing protocols
   such as BGP.  In that case, TCP-AO configuration is required on
   routers.

   Given an installed base, the model also allows enabling of the legacy
   TCP MD5 [RFC2385] signature option.  As the TCP MD5 signature option
   is obsoleted by TCP-AO, it is strongly RECOMMENDED to use TCP-AO.

   Similar to the TCP MIB [RFC4022], this document also specifies basic
   statistics and a TCP connection table.

   o  Statistics: Counters for the number of active/passive opens, sent
      and received segments, errors, and possibly other detailed
      debugging information

   o  TCP connection table: Access to status information for all TCP
      connections

   This allows implementations of TCP MIB [RFC4022] to migrate to the
   YANG model defined in this memo.

3.2.  Model Design

   The YANG model defined in this document includes definitions from the
   YANG Groupings for TCP Clients and TCP Servers
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].  Similar to that model, this
   specification defines YANG groupings.  This allows reuse of these
   groupings in different YANG data models.  It is intended that these
   groupings will be used either standalone or for TCP-based protocols
   as part of a stack of protocol-specific configuration models.  An
   example could be the BGP YANG Model for Service Provider Networks
   [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-model].

5.  IANA Considerations

5.1.  The IETF XML Registry

   This document registers two URIs in the "ns" subregistry of the IETF
   XML Registry [RFC3688].  Following the format in IETF XML Registry
   [RFC3688], the following registrations are requested:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp
      Registrant Contact: The TCPM WG of the IETF.
      XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.

5.2.  The YANG Module Names Registry

   This document registers a YANG modules in the YANG Module Names
   registry YANG - A Data Modeling Language [RFC6020].  Following the
   format in YANG - A Data Modeling Language [RFC6020], the following
   registrations are requested:

      name:         ietf-tcp
      namespace:    urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp
      prefix:       tcp
      reference:    RFC XXXX

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) described in Using the NETCONF
   protocol over 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.
