1. Introduction
Alternate-Marking Method [RFC9341] [RFC9342] (AltMark) is a technique
used to perform packet loss, delay, and jitter measurements on in-
flight packets. In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
(IOAM) is a method to produce operational and telemetry information
that may be exported using the in-band or out-of-band method. The
data types and data formats for IOAM data records have been defined
in [RFC9197] [RFC9326].
This document defines a YANG data model for monitoring on-path
telemetry information of Alternate Marking Method and IOAM. It
provides YANG data models with performance monitoring parameters that
can be subscribed to for monitoring and telemetry via the mechanism
specified in [RFC8640] and [RFC8641].
This document does not introduce new telemetry metrics for network
performance for measuring network performance, but it uses the
existing mechanisms of [RFC9341], [RFC9342], [RFC9197], [RFC9326] to
monitor the performance of the network and the services.
1.1. Requirements Language
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.

Internet-Draft yang-on-path-telemetry December 2024
1.2. Conventions
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this
specification:
* augment
* data model
* data node
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC7950].
2. Use Case
Some applications may use the subscription model specified in
[RFC8641] to subscribe to the on-path telemetry network performance
data. For example, network telemetry updates may be obtained through
on-change notifications [RFC8641]. A periodic notification [RFC8641]
can be specified to obtain real-time performance data.
There is a need for real-time traffic monitoring of the network to
optimize the network performance. The next figure shows an example
of a high-level workflow for dynamic network control based on traffic
monitoring that could use the mechanism described in this document.
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Orchestrator/Controller |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| /|\ | /|\
Monitor | | Monitor | |
Request | | Result Possible | |
| | Optimization | | Optimization
\|/ | \|/ | Result
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Network |
+---------------------------------------------------+
Figure 1: Workflow for dynamic network control based on traffic
monitoring
The Controller sends a Monitor Request and receive Monitor Result.
As a consequence of this Closed-Loop approach, the controller can
take Optimization actions, that can be related to network path
modification or performance measurements variation
([I-D.ydt-ippm-alt-mark-yang]), as also described in [RFC9342] with
regard to the flexible and adaptive performance measurements.

3. On-path Telemetry Tree Diagram
Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
[RFC8340].
The On-path Telemetry model is organized as shown in the following
figure. This model complement the AltMark model in
[I-D.ydt-ippm-alt-mark-yang] and the IOAM model in [RFC9617].

6. Security Considerations
IOAM [RFC9197], Alternate Marking [RFC9341] and Multipoint Alternate
Marking [RFC9342] analyze different security concerns and related
solutions. These aspects are valid and applicable also to this
document. In particular the fundamental security requirement is that
Alternate Marking MUST only be applied in a specific limited domain,
as also mentioned in [RFC8799].
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.
The top level administrative configurations related to the AltMark
and IOAM functionalities are already reported in
[I-D.ydt-ippm-alt-mark-yang] and [RFC9617]. Unexpected changes to
those items could lead to the AltMark and IOAM function disruption
and/ or misbehavior of the AltMark.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module. 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:
* /on-path-telemetry-data/interface
The entries in the container above include the AltMark and IOAM
profile telemetry data which can 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. It is also important to
control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to
the readable data nodes.
7. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to assign a new URI from the IETF XML Registry
[RFC3688]. The following URI is suggested:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-on-path-telemetry
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document also requests a new YANG module name in the YANG Module
Names registry [RFC7950] with the following suggestion:
name: ietf-on-path-telemetry
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-on-path-telemetry
prefix: on-path-telemetry
reference: RFC XXXX
