YANG models for VN/TE Performance Monitoring Telemetry and Scaling Intent Autonomics

Abstract

This document provides YANG data models that describe performance monitoring telemetry and scaling intent mechanisms for TE-tunnels and Virtual Networks (VNs).

The models presented in this document allow customers to subscribe to and monitor the key performance data of the TE-tunnel or the VN. The models also provide customers with the ability to program autonomic scaling intent mechanisms on the level of TE-tunnel as well as VN.

1. Introduction

The YANG [RFC7950] model in [I-D.ietf-teas-actn-vn-yang] is used to operate customer-driven Virtual Networks (VNs) during the computation of VN, its instantiation, and its life-cycle service management and operations. YANG model in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te] is used to operate TE-tunnels during the tunnel instantiation, and its life-cycle management and operations.

The models presented in this draft allow the applications hosted by the customers to subscribe to and monitor their key performance data of their interest on the level of VN [I-D.ietf-teas-actn-vn-yang] or TE-tunnel [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te]. The key characteristic of the models presented in this document is a top-down programmability that allows the applications hosted by the customers to subscribe to and monitor key performance data of their interest and autonomic scaling intent mechanism on the level of VN as well as TE-tunnel.

According to the classification of [RFC8309], the YANG data models presented in this document can be classified as customer service models. These can be mapped to the CMI (Customer Network Controller (CNC)- Multi-Domain Service Coordinator (MSDC) interface) of ACTN [RFC8453].

[RFC8233] describes key network performance data to be considered for end-to-end path computation in TE networks. The services provided can be optimized to meet the requirements (such as traffic patterns, quality, and reliability) of the applications hosted by the customers.

This document provides YANG data models generically applicable to any VN/TE-Tunnel service clients to provide an ability to program their customized performance monitoring subscription and publication data models and automatic scaling in/out intent data models. These models can be utilized by a client network controller to initiate the capabilities to a TE network controller communicating with the client controller via a NETCONF [RFC8341] or a RESTCONF [RFC8040] interface.

The term performance monitoring is used in this document in a different from how the term has been used in TE networks for many years. Performance monitoring in this document refers to subscription and publication of streaming telemetry data. Subscription is initiated by the client (e.g., CNC) while publication is provided by the network (e.g., MDSC/Provisioning Network Controller (PNC)) based on the client's subscription. As the scope of performance monitoring in this document is telemetry data on the level of a client's VN or TE-tunnel, the entity interfacing to the client (e.g., MDSC) has to provide VN or TE-tunnel level information. This requires the controller to have the capability to derive VN or TE-tunnel level performance data based on lower-level data collected via PM counters in the Network Elements (NE). How the controller entity derives such customized level data (i.e., VN or TE-tunnel level) is out of the scope of this document.

The data model includes configuration and state data according to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

1.1. Terminology

Refer to [RFC8453], [RFC7926], and [RFC8309] for the key terms used in this document.

Scaling: This refers to the network's ability to re-shape its own resources. "Scale out" refers to improve network performance by increasing the allocated resources, while "scale in" refers to decreasing the allocated resources, typically because the existing resources are unnecessary.

Scaling Intent: Scaling intent is used to declare scaling conditions. Specifically, scaling intent refers to how the client programs or configures conditions that will be applied to their key performance data to trigger either scaling out or scaling in. Various conditions can be set for scaling intent on either VN or TE-tunnel level.

Network Autonomics: This refers to the network automation capability that allows a client to initiate scaling intent mechanisms and provides the client with the status of the adjusted network resources based on the client's scaling intent in an automated fashion.

1.2. Tree Diagram

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in Section 4 and Section 6 of this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].

1.3. Prefixes in Data Node Names

2. Use-Cases

There is a need for real-time (or semi-real-time) traffic monitoring of the network to optimize the network and the traffic distribution. Figure 1 shows the high-level workflow for dynamic service control based on traffic monitoring.

Figure 1: Workflow for dynamic service control based on traffic monitoring

Some of the key points are as follows:

  • Network traffic monitoring is important to facilitate automatic discovery of the imbalance of network traffic, and initiate network optimization, thus helping the network operator or the virtual network service provider to use the network more efficiently and save Capital Expense (CAPEX) and Operating Expense (OPEX).
  • Customer services have various Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements, such as service availability, latency, jitter, packet loss rate, Bit Error Rate (BER), etc. The TE network can satisfy service availability and BER requirements by providing different protection and restoration mechanisms. However, for other SLA requirements, there are no such mechanisms. In order to provide high quality services according to the customer SLA, one possible solution is to measure the SLA related performance parameters, and dynamically provision and optimize services based on the performance monitoring results.
  • Performance monitoring in a large scale network could generate a huge amount of performance information. Therefore, the appropriate way to deliver the information at the client and network interfaces should be carefully considered.

3. Design of the Data Models

This document describes two YANG models:

(i)

TE Telemetry Model which provides the TE-Tunnel level of

performance monitoring mechanism and scaling intent mechanism that allows scale in/out programming by the customer. (See Section 3.1 & Section 7.1 for details).

(ii)

VN Telemetry Model which provides the VN level of the

aggregated performance monitoring mechanism and scaling intent mechanism that allows scale in/out programming by the customer (See Section 3.2 & Section 7.2 for details).

3.1. TE Telemetry Model

This model describes the performance telemetry for the TE tunnel. The telemetry data is augmented to the TE tunnel. This model also allows autonomic traffic engineering scaling intent configuration mechanism on the TE-tunnel level. Various conditions can be set for auto-scaling based on the telemetry data (See Section 5 for details)

As shown in Figure 2, the TE Telemetry Model augments the TE-Tunnel Model to enhance TE performance monitoring capability. This monitoring capability will facilitate re-optimization and reconfiguration of TE tunnels based on the performance monitoring data collected via the TE Telemetry YANG model.

                                     +--------------+

3.2. VN Telemetry Model

As shown in Figure 3, the VN Telemetry Model augments the basic VN model to enhance VN monitoring capability. This monitoring capability will facilitate re-optimization and reconfiguration of VNs based on the performance monitoring data collected via the VN Telemetry YANG model. This model also imports TE telemetry model to reuse the groupings.

Figure 3: VN Telemetry Model Relationships

This model describes the performance telemetry for the VN model. The telemetry data is augmented to the VN model at the VN Level as well as at the individual VN member level. This model also allows autonomic traffic engineering scaling intent configuration mechanism on the VN level. Scale in/out criteria might be used for network autonomics in order for the controller to react to a certain set of variations in monitored parameters (See Section 4 for illustrations).

Moreover, this model also provides a mechanism to define aggregated VN telemetry parameters as a grouping of underlying VN-member level telemetry parameters. This is unique to the VN model as a VN is made up of multiple VN-members and further each VN-member could be set across multiple TE tunnels. Grouping operation (such as maximum, mean) could be set at the time of configuration. For example, if "maximum" grouping operation is used for delay at the VN level, the VN telemetry data is reported as the maximum of {delay_vn_member_1, delay_vn_member_2,.. delay_vn_member_N}. Thus, this telemetry aggregation mechanism allows the aggregation (or grouping) of a certain common set of telemetry values under a grouping operation. This can also be done at the VN-member level to suggest how the end-to-end (E2E) telemetry be inferred from the per domain tunnels created and monitored by PNCs. The Figure 4 provides an example interaction.

3.3. VPN Service Performance Monitoring

The YANG model in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-yang-vpn-service-pm] provides network performance monitoring (PM) and VPN service performance monitoring that can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology at higher layer or the service topology between VPN sites. Thus the YANG models in this document could be used along side with ietf-network-vpn-pm to understand and correlate the performance monitoring at the VPN service and the underlying TE level.

4. Autonomic Scaling Intent Mechanism

The scaling intent configuration mechanism allows the client to configure automatic scale-in and scale-out mechanisms on both the TE-tunnel and the VN level. Various conditions can be set for auto-scaling based on the PM telemetry data.

There are a number of parameters involved in the mechanism:

  • scale-out-intent or scale-in-intent: whether to scale-out or scale-in.
  • performance-type: performance metric type (e.g., one-way-delay, one-way-delay-min, one-way-delay-max, two-way-delay, two-way- delay-min, two-way-delay-max, utilized bandwidth, etc.)
  • threshold-value: the threshold value for a certain performance-type that triggers scale-in or scale-out.
  • scaling-operation-type: in case where scaling condition can be set with one or more performance types, then scaling-operation-type (AND, OR, MIN, MAX, etc.) is applied to these selected performance types and its threshold values.
  • Threshold-time: the duration for which the criteria needs to hold true.
  • Cooldown-time: the duration after a scaling action has been triggered, for which there will be no further operation.

The tree in Figure 5 is a part of ietf-te-telemetry tree whose model is presented in full detail in Sections 6 & 7.

Figure 5: The scaling intent

Let's say the client wants to set the scaling out operation based on two performance-types (e.g., two-way-delay and utilized-bandwidth for a te-tunnel), it can be done as follows:

  • Set Threshold-time: x (sec) (duration for which the criteria must hold true)
  • Set Cooldown-time: y (sec) (the duration after a scaling action has been triggered, for which there will be no further operation)
  • Set AND for the scale-out-operation-type

In the scaling condition's list, the following two components can be set:

List 1: Scaling Condition for Two-way-delay

  • performance type: Two-way-delay
  • threshold-value: z milli-seconds

List 2: Scaling Condition for Utilized bandwidth

  • performance type: Utilized bandwidth
  • threshold-value: w megabytes

5. Notification

This model does not define specific notifications. To enable notifications, the mechanism defined in [RFC8641] and [RFC8640] can be used. This mechanism currently allows the user to:

  • Subscribe to notifications on a per client basis.
  • Specify subtree filters or xpath filters so that only interested contents will be sent.
  • Specify either periodic or on-demand notifications.

5.1. YANG Push Subscription Examples

[RFC8641] allows subscriber applications to request a continuous, customized stream of updates from a YANG datastore.

The example in Figure 6 shows the way for a client to subscribe to the telemetry information for a particular tunnel (Tunnel1). The telemetry parameter that the client is interested in is one-way- delay.

The example in Figure 7 shows the way for a client to subscribe to the telemetry information for all VNs. The telemetry parameter that the client is interested in is one-way-delay and one-way-utilized- bandwidth.

Figure 9: VN Scaling Example

The example in Figure 10 shows the way to configure a grouping operation at the VN level to require that the VN level one-way-delay needs to be the reported as the max of the one-way-delay at the VN-member level, where as the utilized-percentage is the mean.

8. Security Considerations

The YANG modules 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.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (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 with the write operation that can be exploited to impact the network monitoring. An incorrect condition could cause frequent scaling operation to be executed causing harm to the network:

  • /te:te/te:tunnels/te:tunnel/te-scaling-intent/scale-in-intent
  • /te:te/te:tunnels/te:tunnel/te-scaling-intent/scale-out-intent
  • /vn:virtual-network/vn:vn/vn-scaling-intent/scale-in-intent
  • /vn:virtual-network/vn:vn/vn-scaling-intent/scale-out-intent

Further, following are the subtrees with the write operation that can be exploited by setting an incorrect grouping operation for the VN operation impacting the network monitoring:

  • /vn:virtual-network/vn:vn/vn-telemetry/operation
  • /vn:virtual-network/vn:vn/vn:vn-member/vn-member-telemetry/operation

Some of the readable data 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 with the read operations that can be exploited to learn real-time (and sensitive) telemetry information about the TE tunnels and VN:

  • /te:te/te:tunnels/te:tunnel/te-telemetry
  • /vn:virtual-network/vn:vn/vn-telemetry
  • /vn:virtual-network/vn:vn/vn:vn-member/vn-member-telemetry
