                      draft-ietf-rtgwg-ni-model-12

Abstract

   This document defines a network instance module.  This module can be
   used to manage the virtual resource partitioning that may be present
   on a network device.  Examples of common industry terms for virtual
   resource partitioning are Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
   instances and Virtual Switch Instances (VSIs).

   The YANG model in this document conforms to the Network Management
   Datastore Architecture defined in I-D.ietf-netmod-revised-datastores.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines the second of two new modules that are defined
   to support the configuration and operation of network-devices that
   allow for the partitioning of resources from both, or either,
   management and networking perspectives.  Both leverage the YANG
   functionality enabled by YANG Schema Mount
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].

Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2018


   The YANG model in this document conforms to the Network Management
   Datastore Architecture defined in the
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-revised-datastores].

   The first form of resource partitioning provides a logical
   partitioning of a network device where each partition is separately
   managed as essentially an independent network element which is
   'hosted' by the base network device.  These hosted network elements
   are referred to as logical network elements, or LNEs, and are
   supported by the logical-network-element module defined in
   [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model].  That module is used to identify LNEs and
   associate resources from the network-device with each LNE.  LNEs
   themselves are represented in YANG as independent network devices;
   each accessed independently.  Examples of vendor terminology for an
   LNE include logical system or logical router, and virtual switch,
   chassis, or fabric.

   The second form, which is defined in this document, provides support
   for what is commonly referred to as Virtual Routing and Forwarding
   (VRF) instances as well as Virtual Switch Instances (VSI), see
   [RFC4026] and [RFC4664].  In this form of resource partitioning,
   multiple control plane and forwarding/bridging instances are provided
   by and managed via a single (physical or logical) network device.
   This form of resource partitioning is referred to as a Network
   Instance and is supported by the network-instance module defined
   below.  Configuration and operation of each network-instance is
   always via the network device and the network-instance module.

   One notable difference between the LNE model and the NI model is that
   the NI model provides a framework for VRF and VSI management.  This
   document envisions the separate definition of VRF and VSI, i.e., L3
   and L2 VPN, technology specific models.  An example of such can be
   found in the emerging L3VPN model defined in
   [I-D.ietf-bess-l3vpn-yang] and the examples discussed below.

1.1.  Terminology

   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.

   Readers are expected to be familiar with terms and concepts of YANG
   [RFC7950] and YANG Schema Mount [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].

   This document uses the graphical representation of data models
   defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams].

2.  Overview

   In this document, we consider network devices that support protocols
   and functions defined within the IETF, e.g, routers, firewalls, and
   hosts.  Such devices may be physical or virtual, e.g., a classic
   router with custom hardware or one residing within a server-based
   virtual machine implementing a virtual network function (VNF).  Each
   device may sub-divide their resources into logical network elements
   (LNEs) each of which provides a managed logical device.  Examples of
   vendor terminology for an LNE include logical system or logical
   router, and virtual switch, chassis, or fabric.  Each LNE may also
   support virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) and virtual switching
   instance (VSI) functions, which are referred to below as a network
   instances (NIs).  This breakdown is represented in Figure 1.

   Figure 1: Module Element Relationships

   A model for LNEs is described in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] and the
   model for NIs is covered in this document in Section 3.

   The current interface management model [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc7223bis]
   is impacted by the definition of LNEs and NIs.  This document and
   [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] define augmentations to the interface
   module to support LNEs and NIs.

   The network instance model supports the configuration of VRFs and
   VSIs.  Each instance is supported by information that relates to the
   device, for example the route target used when advertising VRF routes
   via the mechanisms defined in [RFC4364], and information that relates
   to the internal operation of the NI, for example for routing
   protocols [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc8022bis] and OSPF [I-D.ietf-ospf-yang].

   This document defines the network-instance module that provides a
   basis for the management of both types of information.

   NI information that relates to the device, including the assignment
   of interfaces to NIs, is defined as part of this document.  The
   defined module also provides a placeholder for the definition of NI-
   technology specific information both at the device level and for NI
   internal operation.  Information related to NI internal operation is
   supported via schema mount [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] and
   mounting appropriate modules under the mount point.  Well known mount
   points are defined for L3VPN, L2VPN, and L2+L3VPN NI types.

3.  Network Instances

   The network instance container is used to represent virtual routing
   and forwarding instances (VRFs) and virtual switching instances
   (VSIs).  VRFs and VSIs are commonly used to isolate routing and
   switching domains, for example to create virtual private networks,
   each with their own active protocols and routing/switching policies.
   The model supports both core/provider and virtual instances.  Core/
   provider instance information is accessible at the top level of the
   server, while virtual instance information is accessible under the
   root schema mount points.

        |          -> /if:interfaces/interface/ip:ipv6/ni:bind-ni-name
        +--ro error-info?   string

   A network instance is identified by a 'name' string.  This string is
   used both as an index within the network-instance module and to
   associate resources with a network instance as shown above in the
   interface augmentation.  The ni-type and root-type choice statements
   are used to support different types of L2 and L3 VPN technologies.
   The bind-ni-name-failed notification is used in certain failure
   cases.

3.1.  NI Types and Mount Points

   The network-instance module is structured to facilitate the
   definition of information models for specific types of VRFs and VSIs
   using augmentations.  For example, the information needed to support



Berger, et al.         Expires September 20, 2018               [Page 6]


Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2018


   VPLS, VxLAN and EVPN based L2VPNs are likely to be quite different.
   Example models under development that could be restructured to take
   advantage on NIs include, for L3VPNs [I-D.ietf-bess-l3vpn-yang] and
   for L2VPNs [I-D.ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang].

   Documents defining new YANG models for the support of specific types
   of network instances should augment the network instance module.  The
   basic structure that should be used for such augmentations include a
   case statement, with containers for configuration and state data and
   finally, when needed, a type specific mount point.  Generally ni
   types, are expected to not need to define type specific mount points,
   but rather reuse one of the well known mount point, as defined in the
   next section.  The following is an example type specific
   augmentation:

    augment "/ni:network-instances/ni:network-instance/ni:ni-type" {
      case l3vpn {
        container l3vpn {
            ...
        }
        container l3vpn-state {
            ...
        }
      }
    }

3.1.1.  Well Known Mount Points

   YANG Schema Mount, [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount], identifies mount
   points by name within a module.  This definition allows for the
   definition of mount points whose schema can be shared across ni-
   types.  As discussed above, ni-types largely differ in the
   configuration information needed in the core/top level instance to
   support the NI, rather than in the information represented within an
   NI.  This allows the use of shared mount points across certain NI
   types.

   The expectation is that there are actually very few different schema
   that need to be defined to support NIs on an implementation.  In
   particular, it is expected that the following three forms of NI
   schema are needed, and each can be defined with a well known mount
   point that can be reused by future modules defining ni-types.

   The three well known mount points are:

   vrf-root
      vrf-root is intended for use with L3VPN type ni-types.




Berger, et al.         Expires September 20, 2018               [Page 7]


Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2018


   vsi-root
      vsi-root is intended for use with L2VPN type ni-types.

   vv-root
      vv-root is intended for use with ni-types that simultaneously
      support L2VPN bridging and L3VPN routing capabilities.

   Future model definitions should use the above mount points whenever
   possible.  When a well known mount point isn't appropriate, a model
   may define a type specific mount point via augmentation.

3.1.2.  NI Type Example

   The following is an example of an L3VPN VRF using a hypothetical
   augmentation to the networking instance schema defined in
   [I-D.ietf-bess-l3vpn-yang].  More detailed examples can be found in
   Appendix B.

   module: ietf-network-instance
     +--rw network-instances
        +--rw network-instance* [name]
           +--rw name           string
           +--rw enabled?       boolean
           +--rw description?   string
           +--rw (ni-type)?
           |  +--:(l3vpn)
           |     +--rw l3vpn:l3vpn
           |     |  ... // config data
           |     +--ro l3vpn:l3vpn-state
           |     |  ... // state data
           +--rw (root-type)
              +--:(vrf-root)
                 +--mp vrf-root
                    +--rw rt:routing/
                    |  +--rw router-id?                 yang:dotted-quad

                    |     +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name]
                    |     +--rw ospf:ospf/
                    |          +--rw area* [area-id]

   YANG OSPF [I-D.ietf-ospf-yang] as mounted modules.  The mounted

Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2018


   modules can reference interface information via a parent-reference to
   the containers defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc7223bis].

3.2.  NIs and Interfaces

   Interfaces are a crucial part of any network device's configuration
   and operational state.  They generally include a combination of raw
   physical interfaces, link-layer interfaces, addressing configuration,
   and logical interfaces that may not be tied to any physical
   interface.  Several system services, and layer 2 and layer 3
   protocols may also associate configuration or operational state data
   with different types of interfaces (these relationships are not shown
   for simplicity).  The interface management model is defined by
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc7223bis].

   As shown below, the network-instance module augments the existing
   interface management model by adding a name which is used on
   interface or sub-interface types to identify an associated network
   instance.  Similarly, this name is also added for IPv4 and IPv6
   types, as defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc7277bis].

   The following is an example of envisioned usage.  The interfaces
   container includes a number of commonly used components as examples:

   module: ietf-interfaces
      +--rw interfaces
      |  +--rw interface* [name]
      |     +--rw name                        string
      |     +--rw ip:ipv4!
      |     |  +--rw ip:enabled?                      boolean
      |     |  +--rw ip:forwarding?                   boolean
      |     |  +--rw ip:mtu?                          uint16

   network-instance-name leaf provides the association between an
   interface and its associated NI (e.g., VRF or VSI).  Note that as
   currently defined, to assign an interface to both an LNE and NI, the
   interface would first be assigned to the LNE using the mechanisms
   defined in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] and then within that LNE's
   interface module, the LNE's representation of that interface would be
   assigned to an NI.

3.3.  Network Instance Management

   Modules that may be used to represent network instance information
   will be available under the ni-type specific 'root' mount point.  The
   "shared-schema" method defined in the "ietf-yang-schema-mount" module
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] MUST be used to identify accessible
   modules.  A future version of this document could relax this
   requirement.  Mounted modules SHOULD be defined with access, via the
   appropriate schema mount parent-references
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount], to device resources such as
   interfaces.  An implementation MAY choose to restrict parent
   referenced information to information related to a specific instance,
   e.g., only allowing references to interfaces that have a "bind-
   network-instance-name" which is identical to the instance's "name".

   All modules that represent control-plane and data-plane information
   may be present at the 'root' mount point, and be accessible via paths
   modified per [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].  The list of available
   modules is expected to be implementation dependent, as is the method
   used by an implementation to support NIs.

   For example, the following could be used to define the data
   organization of the example NI shown in Section 3.1.2:

     "ietf-yang-schema-mount:schema-mounts": {
       "mount-point": [
         {
           "module": "ietf-network-instance",
           "label": "vrf-root",
           "shared-schema": {
             "parent-reference": [
               "/*[namespace-uri() = 'urn:ietf:...:ietf-interfaces']"
             ]
           }
         }
       ]
     }

   Module data identified according to the ietf-yang-schema-mount module
   will be instantiated under the mount point identified under "mount-

   point".  These modules will be able to reference information for
   nodes belonging to top-level modules that are identified under
   "parent-reference".  Parent referenced information is available to
   clients via their top level paths only, and not under the associated
   mount point.

   To allow a client to understand the previously mentioned instance
   restrictions on parent referenced information, an implementation MAY
   represent such restrictions in the "parent-reference" leaf-list.  For
   example:

     "namespace": [
       {
         "prefix": "if",
         "uri": "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces"
       },
       {
         "prefix": "ni",
         "uri": "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-network-instance"
       }
     ],
     "mount-point": [
       {
         "module": "ietf-network-instance",
         "label": "vrf-root",
         "shared-schema": {
           "parent-reference": [
             "/if:interfaces/if:interface
                [ni:bind-network-instance-name = current()/../ni:name]",
             "/if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4
                [ni:bind-network-instance-name = current()/../ni:name]",
             "/if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6
                [ni:bind-network-instance-name = current()/../ni:name]"
           ]
         }
       }
     ],

   The same such "parent-reference" restrictions for non-NMDA
   implementations can be represented based on the [RFC7223] and
   [RFC7277] as:

           ]
         }
       }
     ],

3.4.  Network Instance Instantiation

   Network instances may be controlled by clients using existing list
   operations.  When a list entry is created, a new instance is
   instantiated.  The models mounted under an NI root are expected to be
   dependent on the server implementation.  When a list entry is
   deleted, an existing network instance is destroyed.  For more
   information, see [RFC7950] Section 7.8.6.

   Once instantiated, host network device resources can be associated
   with the new NI.  As previously mentioned, this document augments
   ietf-interfaces with the bind-ni-name leaf to support such



Berger, et al.         Expires September 20, 2018              [Page 12]


Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2018


   associations for interfaces.  When a bind-ni-name is set to a valid
   NI name, an implementation MUST take whatever steps are internally
   necessary to assign the interface to the NI or provide an error
   message (defined below) with an indication of why the assignment
   failed.  It is possible for the assignment to fail while processing
   the set operation, or after asynchronous processing.  Error
   notification in the latter case is supported via a notification.

4.  Security Considerations

   The YANG modules specified in this document define 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 [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.

   There are two different sets of security considerations to consider
   in the context of this document.  One set is security related to
   information contained within mounted modules.  The security
   considerations for mounted modules are not substantively changed
   based on the information being accessible within the context of an
   NI.  For example, when considering the modules defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc8022bis], the security considerations identified
   in that document are equally applicable, whether those modules are
   accessed at a server's root or under an NI instance's root node.

   The second area for consideration is information contained in the NI
   module itself.  NI information represents network configuration and
   route distribution policy information.  As such, the security of this
   information is important, but it is fundamentally no different than
   any other interface or routing configuration information that has
   already been covered in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc7223bis] and
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc8022bis].

   The vulnerable "config true" parameters and subtrees are the
   following:

   /network-instances/network-instance:  This list specifies the network
      instances and the related control plane protocols configured on a
      device.

Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2018


   /if:interfaces/if:interface/*/bind-network-instance-name:  This leaf
      indicates the NI instance to which an interface is assigned.

   Unauthorized access to any of these lists can adversely affect the
   routing subsystem of both the local device and the network.  This may
   lead to network malfunctions, delivery of packets to inappropriate
   destinations and other problems.
