1. Introduction
The mechanism to support a subscription to a continuous and
customized stream of updates from a YANG datastore is defined in
[RFC8639] and [RFC8641]. Requirements for Subscription to YANG
Datastores are defined in [RFC7923]
By streaming data from publishers to receivers, much better
performance and fine-grained sampling can be achieved than with
polling. In a distributed forwarding system, the packet forwarding
Zhou, et al. Expires April 6, 2021 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications October 2020
is delegated to multiple processors on line cards. To not to
overhelm the route processor resources, it is not uncomon that data
records are published directly from processors on line cards to
target Receivers to further increase efficency on the routing system.
This documents complement the general subscription requirements
defined in section 4.2.1 of [RFC7923] by the paragraph: A
Subscription Service MAY support the ability to export from multiple
software processes on a single routing system and expose the
information which software process produced which message to maintain
data integrity.
2. Terminologies
The following terms are defined in [RFC8639] and are not redefined
here:
Subscriber
Publisher
Receiver
Subscription
In addition, this document defines the following terms:
Global Subscription: the Subscription requested by the subscriber.
It may be decomposed into multiple Component Subscriptions.
Component Subscription: is the Subscription that defines a data
source which is managed and controlled by a single Publisher.
Global Capability: is the overall subscription capability that the
group of Publishers can expose to the Subscriber.
Component Capability: is the subscription capability that each
Publisher can expose to the Subscriber.
Master: is the Publisher that interacts with the Subscriber to deal
with the Global Subscription. It decomposes the Global Subscription
to multiple Component Subscriptions and interacts with the Agents.
Agent: is the Publisher that interacts with the Master to deal with
the Component Subscription and pushing the data to the collector.
Zhou, et al. Expires April 6, 2021 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications October 2020
3. Solution Overview
Figure 2 below shows the distributed data export framework.
A collector usually includes two components,
o the Subscriber generates the subscription instructions to express
what and how the collector want to receive the data;
o the Receiver is the target for the data publication.
For one subscription, there are one or more Receivers. And the
Subscriber does not necessarily share the same IP address as the
Receivers.
In this framework, the Publisher pushes data to the Receiver
according to the subscription. The Publisher is either in the Master
or Agent role. The Master knows all the capabilities that his Agents
are able to provide and exposes the Global Capability to the
collector. The Subscriber maintains the Global Subscription at the
Master and disassembles the Global Subscription to multiple Component
Subscriptions, depending from which source data is needed. The
Component Subscriptions are then distributed to the corresponding
Publisher Agents on route and processors on line cards.
Publisher Agents collects metrics according to the Component
Subscription, add its metadata, encapsulate and pushes data to the
Receiver where packets are reassembled and decapsulated.

Fig. 2 The Distributed Data Export Framework
Master and Agents interact with each other in several ways:
o Agents need to register at the Master at the beginning of their
process life-cycle
o Contracts are created between the Master and each Agent on the
Component Capability, and the format for streaming data structure.
o The Master relays the component subscriptions to the Agents.
o The Agents announce the status of their Component Subscriptions to
the Master. The status of the overall subscription is maintained
by the Master. The Master is responsible for notifying the
subscriber in case of problems with the Component Subscriptions.
The technical mechanisms or protocols used for the coordination of
operational information between Master and Agent is out-of-scope of
this document.
Zhou, et al. Expires April 6, 2021 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications October 2020
4. Subscription Decomposition
The Collector can only subscribe to the Master. This requires the
Master to:
1. expose the Global Capability that can be served by multiple
Publisher Agents;
2. disassemble the Global Subscription to multiple Component
Subscriptions, and distribute them to the Publisher Agents of the
corresponding metric sources so that they not overlap;
3. notify on changes when portions of a subscription moving between
different Publisher Agents over time.
And the Agent to:
o Inherit the Global Subscription properties from Publisher Master
for its Component Subscription;
o share the same life-cycle as the Global Subscription;
o share the same Subscription ID as the Global Subscription.
5. Publication Composition
The Publisher Agent collects data and encapsulates the packets per
Component Subscription. The format and structure of the data records
are defined by the YANG schema, so that the decomposition at the
Receiver can benefit from the structured and hierarchical data
records.
The Receiver is able to associate the YANG data records with
Subscription ID [RFC8639] to the subscribed subscription and with
Message Generator ID [I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages] to one
of the Publisher Agents software processes to enable message
integrity.
For the dynamic subscription, the output of the "establish-
subscription" RPC defined in [RFC8639] MUST include a list of Message
Generator IDs to indicate how the Global Subscription is decomposed
into several Component Subscriptions.
The "subscription-started" and "subscription-modified" notification
defined in [RFC8639] MUST also include a list of Message Generator
IDs to notify the current Publishers for the corresponding Global
Subscription.
Zhou, et al. Expires April 6, 2021 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications October 2020
6. Subscription State Change Notifications
In addition to sending event records to Receivers, the Master MUST
also send subscription state change notifications [RFC8639] when
events related to subscription management have occurred. All the
subscription state change notifications MUST be delivered by the
Master.
When the subscription decomposition result changed, the
"subscription-modified" notification MUST be sent to indicate the new
list of Publishers.
7. Publisher Configurations
This document assumes that all Publisher Agents are preconfigured to
push data. The actual working Publisher Agents are selected based on
the subscription decomposition result.
All Publisher Agents share the same source IP address for data
export. For connectionless data transport such as UDP based
transport [I-D.unyte-netconf-udp-notif] the same Layer 4 source port
for data export can be used. For connection based data transport
such as HTTPS based transport [I-D.ietf-netconf-https-notif], each
Publisher Agent MUST be able to acknowledge packet retrieval from
Receivers, and therefore requires a dedicated Layer 4 source port per
software process.
The specific configuration on transports is described in the
resposible documents.

Reference: RFC XXXX
11. 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
[RFC5246].
The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC6536] 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 new data nodes introduced 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-config or
notification) to this data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
o /subscriptions/subscription/message-generator-ids
The entries in the two lists above will show where subscribed
resources might be located on the publishers. Access control MUST be
set so that only someone with proper access permissions has the
ability to access this resource.
Other Security Considerations is the same as those discussed in YANG-
Push [RFC8641].

Fig. 3 Call Flow for Dynamic Subscription
A "establish-subscription" RPC request as per [RFC8641] is sent to
the Master with a successful response. An example of using NETCONF:

</establish-subscription>
</netconf:rpc>
Fig. 4 "establish-subscription" Request
As the device is able to fully satisfy the request, the request is
given a subscription ID of 22. The response as in Figure 5 indicates
that the subscription is decomposed into two component subscriptions
which will be published by two message generators: #1 and #2.
<rpc-reply message-id="101"

Then, both Publishers send notifications with the corresponding piece

The subscriber may invoke the "modify-subscription" RPC for a
subscription it previously established. The RPC has no difference to
the single publisher case as in [RFC8641]. Figure 6 provides an
example where a subscriber attempts to modify the period and
datastore XPath filter of a subscription using NETCONF.

If the modification is successfully accepted, the "subscription-

by the Master. The notification, Figure 7 for example, indicates the
modified subscription is decomposed into one component subscription
which will be published by message generator #1.

Before starting to push data, the "subscription-started" subscription
state notification is sent to the Receiver. The following example
assumes the NETCONF transport has already established. The
notification indicates that the configured subscription is decomposed
into two component subscriptions which will be published by two
