1. Introduction

   This document provides a YANG data model for the Abstraction and
   Control of Traffic Engineered (TE) networks (ACTN) Virtual Network
   (VN) operation that is going to be implemented for the Customer
   Network Controller (CNC)- Multi-Domain Service Coordinator (MSDC)
   interface (CMI). The YANG model discussed in this document is used
   to operate customer-driven VNs during the VN instantiation and its
   life-cycle operations stages.

Internet-Draft            ACTN VN YANG Model                  July 2016

   This document is based on the requirements identified in [ACTN-REQ]
   and on the architecture framework defined in [ACTN-FWK]. As defined
   in [ACTN-FW], a Virtual Network (VN) is a customer view of the TE
   networks and may comprise a set of end-to-end tunnels connecting
   customer's end points. Therefore, it is important to associate a VN
   with its members (which are a number of end-to-end tunnels) that are
   going to be created in the provider network. Each end-to-end tunnel
   defined under a VN is referred to as a VN member.

   The YANG model discussed in this document basically provides the
   characteristics of VNs such as VN level parameters (e.g., VN ID, VN
   member, VN objective function, VN service preference, etc.),
   customer's end point characteristics (e.g., Customer Interface
   Capability, Access Points Interface characteristics, etc.), and
   other relevant VN information that needs to be known to the MDSC to
   facilitate ACTN VN operation.

1.1. Terminology

     - Abstract Topology: Every lower controller in the provider
        network, when is representing its network topology to a higher
        layer, it may want to hide details of the actual network
        topology. In such case, an abstract topology may be used for
        this purpose. Abstract topology enhances scalability for the
        MDSC to operate multi-domain networks. The abstraction of
        topology can be applied on both MPI and CMI, from PNC to MDSC
        and from MDSC to CNC respectively.

     - Access link: A link between a customer node and a provider
        node.

     - Access Point (AP): An access point is defined on an access
        link. It is used to keep confidentiality between the customer
        and the provider. It is an identifier shared between the
        customer and the provider, used to map the end points of the
        border node in the provider NW. The AP can be used by the
        customer when requesting connectivity service to the provider.
        A number of parameters, e.g. available bandwidth, need to be
        associated to the AP to qualify it.

     - VN Access Point (VNAP): A VNAP is defined within an AP as part
        of a given VN and is used to identify the portion of the AP,
        (and hence of the access link) dedicated to a given VN.

1.2. ACTN CMI context

   The model presented in this document has the following ACTN context.

                            Figure 1. ACTN CMI

   The CNC is the actor of the VN creation/modification/deletion (aka
   VN CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) model).

   1. A VN may comprise a set of end-to-end tunnels from a customer
       point of view that connects customer endpoints (i.e., source CE
       and destination CE). See Figure 3 for this VN type.

   2. A VN may comprise of a number of virtual nodes and virtual links
       (more than a tunnel).

   For both cases, the CNC can dynamically add VN elements. For case 1,
   the VN element is an end-to-end tunnel and for case 2, the VN
   element can be virtual nodes or virtual links.

   In the subsequent discussion, the first form of VN will be
   discussed.

                   Figure 2. Full Mesh Example for a VN

   In Figure 2, a VN has three members, namely, VN Member 1, VN member
   2, and VN member 3. VN Member 1 is an end-to-end tunnel identified
   by CE1-AP1 (source) and CE2-AP2 (destination). Similarly, VN Member
   2 by CE1-AP1 and CE3-AP3 and VN Member 3 by CE3-AP3 and CE2-AP2.
   This particular VN shown in Figure 2 is a full mesh connectivity
   across these three customer end-points.

   It is also possible for the customer to create a VN which can be a
   hub and spoke or any other form of connectivity depending on its
   connectivity requirement. Each end-to-end tunnel may be
   unidirectional or bidirectional which is also depending on its
   connectivity requirements. The following figure shows some examples
   of a VN that can represented in a different connectivity form
   depending on the customer's connectivity requirements.

              Figure 3. Different Connectivity Forms of a VN

   It is important to note that a VN can associate a multiple number of
   end-to-end tunnels (i.e., VN members) with one unique identifier.
   From a customer standpoint, this simplifies its VN operation
   significantly.

   The MDSC interacts with the CNC for the VN operation. Once the
   customer VN is requested by the CNC to the MDSC, the MDSC shall be
   responsible for translating and mapping the VN request into specific
   network centric-models (e.g., TE-tunnels [TE-Tunnel], TE-topology
   [TE-TOPO], etc.) to coordinate the multi-domain network operations
   with PNCs. The mapping and translation of a VN into network-centric
   models is out of the scope of this document.

   The set of assumptions that applies to this document is the
   following:

     - CNC is responsible for providing necessary Customer End-Points
        information to the MDSC via the CMI.
     - The access links (between Customer Edge (CE) Devices and the
        Provider Edge (PE) Devices) are assumed to have been
        provisioned prior to the VN instantiation request.
     - Access point identifiers have been configured and therefore are
        known in both the CNC and the MDSC.
