1. Introduction
The revised Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
[RFC8342] introduces a set of new datastores that each hold YANG-
defined data [RFC7950] and represent a different "viewpoint" on the
data that is maintained by a server. New YANG datastores that are
introduced include <intended>, which contains validated configuration
data that a client application intends to be in effect, and
<operational>, which contains at least conceptually operational state
data (such as statistics) as well as configuration data that is
actually in effect.
NMDA introduces in effect a concept of "lifecycle" for management
data, allowing to clearly distinguish between data that is part of a
configuration that was supplied by a user, configuration data that
has actually been successfully applied and that is part of the
operational state, and overall operational state that includes both
applied configuration data as well as status and statistics.
As a result, data from the same management model can be reflected in
multiple datastores. Clients need to specify the target datastore to
be specific about which viewpoint of the data they want to access.
This way, an application can differentiate whether they are (for
example) interested in the configuration that has been applied and is
Clemm, et al. Expires March 29, 2021 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft September 2020
actually in effect, or in the configuration that was supplied by a
client and that is supposed to be in effect.
Due to the fact that data can propagate from one datastore to
another, it is possibly for differences between datastores to occur.
Some of this is entirely expected, as there may be a time lag between
when a configuration is given to the device and reflected in
<intended>, until when it actually takes effect and is reflected in
<operational>. However, there may be cases when a configuration item
that was to be applied may not actually take effect at all or needs
an unusually long time to do so. This can be the case due to certain
conditions not being met, resource dependencies not being resolved,
or even implementation errors in corner conditions.
When configuration that is in effect is different from configuration
that was applied, many issues can result. It becomes more difficult
to operate the network properly due to limited visibility of actual
status which makes it more difficult to analyze and understand what
is going on in the network. Services may be negatively affected (for
example, breaking a service instance resulting in service is not
properly delivered to a customer) and network resources be
misallocated.
Applications can potentially analyze any differences between two
datastores by retrieving the contents from both datastores and
comparing them. However, in many cases this will be at the same time
costly and extremely wasteful.
This document introduces a YANG data model which defines RPCs,
intended to be used in conjunction with NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF
[RFC8040], that allow a client to request a server to compare two
NMDA datastores and report any differences.

4. Data Model Overview
At the core of the solution is a new management operation, <compare>,
that allows to compare two datastores for the same data. The
operation checks whether there are any differences in values or in
data nodes that are contained in either datastore, and returns any
differences as output. The output is returned in the format
specified in YANG-Patch [RFC8072].
The YANG data model defines the <compare> operation as a new RPC.
The operation takes the following input parameters:
o source: The source identifies the datastore that will serve as
reference for the comparison, for example <intended>.
o target: The target identifies the datastore to compare against the
source.
o filter-spec: This is a choice between different filter constructs
to identify the portions of the datastore to be retrieved. It
acts as a node selector that specifies which data nodes are within
the scope of the comparison and which nodes are outside the scope.
This allows a comparison operation to be applied only to a
specific portion of the datastore that is of interest, such as a
particular subtree. (The filter dow not contain expressions that
would match values data nodes, as this is not required by most use
cases and would complicate the scheme, from implementation to
dealing with race conditions.)
o all: When set, this parameter indicates that all differences
should be included, including differences pertaining to schema
nodes that exist in only one of the datastores. When this
parameter is not included, a prefiltering step is automatically
applied to exclude data from the comparison that does not pertain
to both datastores: if the same schema node is not present in both
datastores, then all instances of that schema node and all its
descendants are excluded from the comparison. This allows client
applications to focus on the differences that constitute true
mismatches of instance data without needing to specify more
complex filter constructs.
o exclude-origin: When set, this parameter indicates that origin
metadata should not not be included as part of RPC output. When
this parameter is omitted, origin metadata in comparisons that
involve <operational> is by default included.
The operation provides the following output parameter:
Clemm, et al. Expires March 29, 2021 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft September 2020
o differences: This parameter contains the list of differences.
Those differences are encoded per YANG-Patch data model defined in
RFC8072. When a datastore node in the source of the comparison is
not present in the target of the comparison, this can be indicated
either as a "delete" or as a "remove" in the patch as there is no
differentiation between those operations for the purposes of the
comparison. The YANG-Patch data model is augmented to indicate
the value of source datastore nodes in addition to the patch
itself that would need to be applied to the source to produce the
target. When the target datastore is <operational>, "origin"
metadata is included as part of the patch. Including origin
metadata can help in some cases explain the cause of a difference,
for example when a data node is part of <intended> but the origin
of the same data node in <operational> is reported as "system".
The data model is defined in the ietf-nmda-compare YANG module. Its
structure is shown in the following figure. The notation syntax
follows [RFC8340].

6. Example
The following example compares the difference between <operational>
and <intended> for a subtree under "interfaces". The subtree
contains a subset of objects that are defined in a YANG data model
for the management of interfaces defined in [RFC8343]. The excerpt
of the data model whose instantiation is basis of the comparison is
as follows:
Clemm, et al. Expires March 29, 2021 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft September 2020
container interfaces {
description
"Interface parameters.";
list interface {
key "name";
leaf name {
type string;
description
"The name of the interface".
}
leaf description {
type string;
description
"A textual description of the interface.";
}
leaf enabled {
type boolean;
default "true";
description
"This leaf contains the configured, desired state of the
interface.";"
}
}
}
The contents of <intended> and <operational> datastores:
//INTENDED
<interfaces xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
<interface>
<name>eth0</name>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<description>ip interface</description>
</interface>
</interfaces>
//OPERATIONAL
<interfaces
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces"
xmlns:or="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-origin">
<interface or:origin="or:learned">
<name>eth0</name>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</interface>
</interfaces>
Clemm, et al. Expires March 29, 2021 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft September 2020
<operational> does not contain object "description" that is contained
in <intended>. Another object, "enabled", has differences in values,
being "true" in <operational> and "false" in <intended>. A third
object, "name", is the same in both cases. The origin of the objects
in <operational> is "learned", which may help explain the
discrepancies.
RPC request to compare <operational> (source of the comparison) with
<intended>(target of the comparison):
<rpc message-id="101"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<compare xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-nmda-compare"

7. Performance Considerations
The compare operation can be computationally expensive. While
responsible client applications are expected to use the operation
responsibly and sparingly only when warranted, implementations need
to be aware of the fact that excessive invocation of this operation
will burden system resources and need to ensure that system
performance will not be adversely impacted. One possibility for an
Clemm, et al. Expires March 29, 2021 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft September 2020
implementation to mitigate against such a possibility is to limit the
number of requests that is served to a client, or to any number of
clients, in any one time interval, rejecting requests made at a
higher frequency than the implementation can reasonably sustain.
8. Possible Future Extensions
It is conceivable to extend the compare operation with a number of
possible additional features in the future.
Specifically, it is possible to define an extension with an optional
feature for dampening. This will allow clients to specify a minimum
time period for which a difference must persist for it to be
reported. This will enable clients to distinguish between
differences that are only fleeting from ones that are not and that
may represent a real operational issue and inconsistency within the
device.
For this purpose, an additional input parameter can be added to
specify the dampening period. Only differences that pertain for at
least the dampening time are reported. A value of 0 or omission of
the parameter indicates no dampening. Reporting of differences MAY
correspondingly be delayed by the dampening period from the time the
request is received.
To implement this feature, a server implementation might run a
comparison when the RPC is first invoked and temporarily store the
result. Subsequently, it could wait until after the end of the
dampening period to check whether the same differences are still
observed. The differences that still persist are then returned.
9. IANA Considerations
9.1. Updates to the IETF XML Registry
This document registers one URI in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].
Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registration is
requested:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-nmda-compare
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
Clemm, et al. Expires March 29, 2021 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft September 2020
9.2. Updates to the YANG Module Names Registry
This document registers a YANG module in the YANG Module Names
registry [RFC7950]. Following the format in [RFC7950], the following
registration is requested:
name: ietf-nmda-compare
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-nmda-compare
prefix: cmp
reference: RFC XXXX
10. 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 NETCONF access control model [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 RPC operation defined in this YANG module, "compare", may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It
is thus important to control access to this operation. This is the
sensitivity/vulnerability of RPC operation "compare":
Comparing datastores for differences requires a certain amount of
processing resources at the server. An attacker could attempt to
attack a server by making a high volume of comparison requests.
Server implementations can guard against such scenarios in several
ways. For one, they can implement the NETCONF access control model
in order to require proper authorization for requests to be made.
Second, server implementations can limit the number of requests that
they serve to a client in any one time interval, rejecting requests
made at a higher frequency than the implementation can reasonably
sustain.
