    YANG Model for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Configuration
                     draft-scharf-tcpm-yang-tcp-03

Abstract

   This document specifies a YANG model for TCP on devices that are
   configured by network management protocols.  The YANG model defines
   groupings for fundamental parameters that can be modified in many TCP
   implementations.  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 document includes
   definitions from YANG Groupings for TCP Clients and TCP Servers
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].  The model focuses on
   fundamental and standard TCP functions that are widely implemented.
   The model can be augmented to address more advanced or
   implementation-specific TCP features.

   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] and they do not use YANG data
   models.  Yet, such TCP implementations often also have means to

Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration              November 2019

   configure the parameters listed in this document.  All parameters
   defined in this document are optional.

   This specification is orthogonal to Management Information Base (MIB)
   for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) [RFC4022].  The TCP
   Extended Statistics MIB [RFC4898] is also available, and there are
   MIBs for UDP Management Information Base for the User Datagram
   Protocol (UDP) [RFC4113] and Stream Control Transmission Protocol
   (SCTP) Management Information Base (MIB) [RFC3873].  It is possible
   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 also other related YANG models.  Examples are:

   o  Application protocol models may include TCP parameters, for
      example in case of BGP YANG Model for Service Provider Networks
      [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-model].

   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].

   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.

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:

Scharf, et al.             Expires May 7, 2020                  [Page 3]
Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration              November 2019

   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 the TAPS interface An Abstract Application
      Layer Interface to Transport Services [I-D.ietf-taps-interface].

   There is no ground truth for setting certain TCP parameters, and
   traditionally different 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.

   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 the base 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.

   In addition to configuration of the TCP protocol engine, a TCP
   implementation typically also offers access to operational state and
   statistics.  This includes amongst others:

Scharf, et al.             Expires May 7, 2020                  [Page 4]
Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration              November 2019

   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

   o  TCP listener table: Tnformation about all TCP listening endpoints

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

   TODO: A future version of this document may include statistics
   equivalent to the TCP MIB [RFC4022]:

   o  active-opens

   o  passive-opens

   o  attempt-fails

   o  establish-resets

   o  currently-established

   o  in-segments

   o  out-segments

   o  retransmitted-segments

   o  in-errors

   o  out-resets

3.2.  Basic TCP Configuration Parameters

   There are a number of basic system parameters that are configurable
   on many TCP implementations, even if not all TCP implementations may
   indeed have exactly all these settings.  Also, the syntax, semantics
   and scope (e.g., global or interface-specific) can be different in
   different system architectures.

   The following list of fundamental parameters considers both TCP
   implementations on hosts and on routers:

   o  Keepalives (see also [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server])

Scharf, et al.             Expires May 7, 2020                  [Page 5]
Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration              November 2019

      *  Idle-time (in seconds): integer

      *  Probe-interval (in seconds): integer

      *  Max-probes: integer

   o  Maximum MSS (in byte): integer

   o  FIN timeout (in seconds): integer

   o  SACK (disable/enable): boolean

   o  Timestamps (disable/enable): boolean

   o  Path MTU Discovery (disable/enable): boolean

   o  ECN

      *  Enabling (disable/passive/active): enumeration

   TCP-AO is increasingly supported on routers and also requires
   configuration.

   Some other parameters are also common but not ubiquitously supported,
   or modeled in very different ways:

   o  Delayed ACK timeout (in ms)

   o  Initial RTO value (in ms)

   o  Maximum number of retransmissions

   o  Window scaling

   o  Maximum number of connections

   TCP can be implemented in different ways and design choices by the
   protocol engine often affect configuration options.  In a number of
   areas there are major differences between different software
   architectures.  As a result, there are not many commonalities in the
   corresponding configuration parameters:

   o  Window size: TCP stacks can either store window state variables
      (such as the congestion window) in segments or in bytes.

   o  Buffer sizes: The memory management depends on the operating
      system.  As the size of buffers can vary over several orders of

Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration              November 2019

      magnitude, very different implementations exist.  This typically
      influences TCP flow control.

   o  Timers: Timer implementation is another area in which TCP stacks
      may differ.

   o  Congestion control algorithms: Many congestion control algorithms
      have configuration parameters, but except for fundamental
      properties they often tie into the specific implementation.

   This document only models fundamental system parameters that are
   configurable on many TCP implementations, and for which the
   configuration is reasonably similar.

3.3.  Model Design

   [[Editor's node: This section requires further work.]]

   This document extends the YANG model "ietf-tcp-common" defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].  The intention is to define
   YANG groupings for TCP parameters so that they can be used in
   different YANG models.

   As an example for the configuration of SACK, a YANG model could
   import the YANG model "ietf-tcp-common" as well as the model defined
   in this document as follows:

   module example-tcp {
     namespace "http://example.com/tcp";
     prefix tcp;

     import ietf-tcp {
       prefix tcp;
     }

     import ietf-tcp-common {
       prefix tcpcmn;
     }

     container example-tcp-config {
       description "Example TCP stack configuration";

       uses tcpcmn:tcp-common-grouping;
       uses tcp:tcp-sack-grouping;
     }
   }

3.4.  Tree Diagram

   This section provides a abridged tree diagram for the YANG module
   defined in this document.  Annotations used in the diagram are
   defined in YANG Tree Diagrams [RFC8340].

     +--rw tcp!
        +--rw connections

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:

Scharf, et al.             Expires May 7, 2020                 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft              TCP Configuration              November 2019

      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) [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.
