1. Introduction
This document defines a data model for the Babel routing protocol
[I-D.ietf-babel-rfc6126bis]. The data model is defined using YANG
1.1 [RFC7950] data modeling language and is Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NDMA) [RFC8342] compatible. It is based on
the Babel Information Model [I-D.ietf-babel-information-model].
1.1. Note to RFC Editor
Artwork in this document contains shorthand references to drafts in
progress. Please apply the following replacements and remove this
note before publication.
o "XXXX" --> the assigned RFC value for this draft both in this
draft and in the YANG models under the revision statement.

o "ZZZZ" --> the assigned RFC value for Babel Information Model
[I-D.ietf-babel-information-model]
o Revision date in model, in the format 2019-08-22 needs to get
updated with the date the draft gets approved. The date also
needs to get reflected on the line with <CODE BEGINS>.
1.2. Tree Diagram Annotations
For a reference to the annotations used in tree diagrams included in
this draft, please see YANG Tree Diagrams [RFC8340].
2. Babel Module
This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] data model for the
configuration and management of Babel. The YANG module is based on
the Babel Information Model [I-D.ietf-babel-information-model].
2.1. Information Model
There are a few things that should be noted between the Babel
Information Model and this data module. The information model
mandates the definition of some of the attributes, e.g. babel-
implementation-version or the babel-self-router-id. These attributes
are marked a read-only objects in the information module as well as
in this data module. However, there is no way in the data module to
mandate that a read-only attribute be present. It is up to the
implementation of this data module to make sure that the attributes
that are marked read-only and are mandatory are indeed present.
2.2. Tree Diagram
The following diagram illustrates a top level hierarchy of the model.
In addition to information like the version number implemented by
this device, the model contains subtrees on constants, interfaces,
routes and security.

The interfaces subtree describes attributes such as interface object
that is being referenced, the type of link as enumerated by metric-
algorithm and split-horizon and whether the interface is enabled or
not.
The constants subtree describes the UDP port used for sending and
receiving Babel messages, and the multicast group used to send and
receive announcements on IPv6.
The routes subtree describes objects such as the prefix for which the
route is advertised, a reference to the neighboring route, and next-
hop address.
Finally, for security two subtree are defined to contain MAC keys and
DTLS certificates. The mac-key-sets subtree contains keys used with
the MAC security mechanism. The boolean flag babel-mac-default-apply
indicates whether the set of MAC keys is automatically applied to new
interfaces. The dtls subtree contains certificates used with DTLS
security mechanism. Similar to the MAC mechanism, the boolean flag
babel-dtls-default-apply indicates whether the set of DTLS
certificates is automatically applied to new interfaces.

3. IANA Considerations
This document registers one URIs and one YANG module.
3.1. URI Registrations
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
3.2. YANG Module Name Registration
This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names
registry YANG [RFC6020].
Name:ietf-babel
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
prefix: babel
reference: RFC XXXX
4. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocol such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer
is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and
the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
Jethanandani & Stark Expires February 23, 2020 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model August 2019
The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM [RFC8341]) provides the means
to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured
subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are
writable/created/deleted (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 from a config true perspective:
babel: This container includes an "enable" parameter that can be used
to enable or disable use of Babel on a router
babel/constants: This container includes configuration parameters
that can prevent reachability if misconfigured.
babel/interfaces: This leaf-list has configuration parameters that
can enable/disable security mechanisms and change performance
characteristics of the Babel protocol.
babel/hmac and babel/dtls: These contain security credentials that
influence whether packets are trusted.
Some of the readable data or config false nodes in this 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 from a
config false perpective:
babel: Access to the information in the various nodes can disclose
the network topology. Additionally, the routes used by a network
device may be used to mount a subsequent attack on traffic traversing
the network device.
babel/hmac and babel/dtls: These contain security credentials,
include private credentials of the router.
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability from a RPC operation
perspective:
Jethanandani & Stark Expires February 23, 2020 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model August 2019
babel/hmac/hmac/keys/test and babel/dtls/certs/test: These can be
used in a brute force attack to identify the credentials being used
to secure the Babel protocol.

Jethanandani & Stark Expires February 23, 2020 [Page 34]

Here, interface eth1 is an Ethernet bridged to a wireless radio, so
babeld's autodetection fails, and the interface type needs to be
configured manually. Tunnels are not detected automatically, so this
needs to be specified.
This is equivalent to the following:
interface eth0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true
interface eth1 metric-algorithm etx split-horizon false
interface tun0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true

A.4. Configuring other Properties
<!-- In this example, two interfaces are configured for babeld
interface eth0
interface ppp0 hello-interval 30 update-interval 120
Here, ppp0 is a metered 3G link used for fallback connectivity. It runs
with much higher than default time constants in order to avoid control
traffic as much as possible.
