Internet-Draft        IETF Network Slice YANG Model           March 2022


1.  Introduction

   This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for for
   representing, managing, and controlling IETF network slices, defined
   in [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices]

   The defined data model is an interface between customers and
   providers for configurations and state retrievals, so as to support
   network slicing as a service.  Through this model, a customer can
   learn the slicing capabilities and the available resources of the
   provider.  A customer can request or negotiate with a network slicing
   provider to create an instance.  The customer can incrementally
   update its requirements on individual topology elements in the slice
   instance, and retrieve the operational states of these elements.
   With the help of other mechanisms and data models defined in IETF,
   the telemetry information can be published to the customer.

   As described in Section 3 of
   [I-D.contreras-teas-slice-controller-models], the data model defined
   in this document complements the data model defined in
   [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang].  In addition to the
   provider's view, the data model defined in this document models the
   Type 2 service defined in [RFC8453].

   The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
   Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

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.

   The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are not redefined
   here:

   o  augment

   o  data model

   o  data node

1.2.  Tree Diagrams

   Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
   [RFC8340].

2.  Modeling Considerations

   An IETF network slice is modeled as network topology defined in
   [RFC8345], with augmentations.  A new network type "network-slice" is
   defined in this document.  When a network topology data instance
   contains the network-slice network type, it represents an instance of
   an IETF network slice.

2.1.  Relationships to Related Topology Models

   There are several related YANG data models that have been defined in
   IETF.  Some of these are:

   Network Topology Model:
      Defined in [RFC8345].

   OTN Topology Model:
      Defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-otn-topo-yang].

   L2 Topology Model:
      Defined in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-yang-l2-network-topology].

   L3 Topology Model:
      Defined in [RFC8346].

   TE Topology Model:
      Defined in [RFC8795].

   Figure 1 shows the relationships among these models.  The box of
   dotted lines denotes the model defined in this document.

2.2.  Network Slice with TE

   In many situations, an IETF network slide needs to have TE (Traffic
   Engineering) capabilities to achieve certain network characteristics.
   The TE Topology Model defined in [RFC8795] can be used to make an
   IETF network slice TE capable.  To achieve this, an IETF network
   slice instance will be configured to have both "network-slice" and
   "te-topology" network types, taking advantage of the multiple
   inheritance capability featured by the network topology model
   [RFC8345].  The following diagram shows their relations.

                      Figure 2: Network Slice with TE

   This method can be applied to other types of network topology models
   too.  For example, when a network topology instance is configured to
   have the types of "network-slice" defined in this document, "te-
   topology" defined in [RFC8795], and "l3-unicast-topology" defined in
   [RFC8346], this network topology instance becomes an IETF network
   slice instance that can perform layer 3 traffic engineering.

2.3.  ACTN for Network Slicing

   Since ACTN topology data models are based on the network topology
   model defined in [RFC8345], the augmentations defined in this
   document are effective augmentations to the ACTN topology data
   models, resulting in making the ACTN framework [RFC8453] and data
   models [I-D.ietf-teas-actn-yang] capable of slicing networks with the
   required network characteristics.

3.  Model Applicability

   There are many technologies to achieve network slicing.  The data
   model defined in this document can be applied to a wide ranges of
   cases.  This section describes how this data model is applied to a
   few cases.

3.1.  Network Slicing by Virtualization

   In the case shown in Figure 3, node virtualization is used to
   separate and allocate resources in physical devices.  Two virtual
   routers VR1 and VR2 are created over physical router R1.  Each of the
   virtual routers takes a portion of the resources such as ports and
   memory in the physical router.  Depending on the requirements and the
   implementations, they may share certain resources such as processors,
   ASICs, and switch fabric.

   As an example, Appendix A. shows the JSON encoded data instances of
   the native topology and the customized topology for Network Slice
   Blue.

3.2.  Network Slicing by TE Overlay

   Figure 4 shows a case where TE (Traffic Engineering) overlay is
   applied to achieve logically separated customer IETF network slices.
   In the underlay TE capable network, TE tunnels are established to
   support the TE links in the overlay network.  These links and tunnels
   maintain the characteristics required by the customers.  The provider
   selects the proper logical nodes and links in the overlay network,
   assigns them to specific IETF network slices, and uses the data model

4.  Model Communication Types

   Section 3.2 of [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] describes various
   communication types that an IETF network slice may serve, including
   P2P, P2MP, MP2P, MP2MP, and A2A.  The data models specified in
   [RFC8345] and [RFC8795] support only P2P and A2A.  In this document,
   the YANG module ietf-network-slice-connectivity is defined to extend
   the capabilities to cover P2MP, MP2P, and MP2MP.

   The YANG module ietf-network-slice-connectivity is defined in
   Section 6.2 of this document, with its structure shown in Section 5.2
   of this document.  This YANG module introduces two modeling
   constructs in each connectivity construct (that is called
   connectivity matrix entries in [RFC8795]):

   Replication Group:
      A replication group contains a list of connectivity constructs
      (that are called connectivity matrix entries in RFC 8795).  When
      traffic is sent to one entry in this replication group, the
      traffic is replicated to all other entries in the same replication
      group.

   Receiver Constraint Group:
      A receiver constraint group contains a list of connectivity
      constructs (that are called connectivity matrix entries in RFC
      8795).  When traffic is sent to one or more entries in this
      receiver constraint group, the constraints specified in this
      receiver constraint group are applied to the receiver-side
      termination points referenced by all entries in this receiver
      constraint group.

   The following sections describe some data examples:

   prefix:       ns
   reference:    RFC XXXX
   --------------------------------------------------------------------

8.  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 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 and data nodes
   and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types/ns:network-slice
      This subtree specifies the network slice type.  Modifying the
      configurations can make network slice type invalid and cause
      interruption to IETF network slices.

   /nw:networks/nw:network/ns:network-slice
      This subtree specifies the topology-wide configurations.
      Modifying the configurations here can cause traffic

Internet-Draft        IETF Network Slice YANG Model           March 2022


      characteristics changed in this IETF network slice and related
      networks.

   /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node/ns:network-slice
      This subtree specifies the configurations of the nodes in a IETF
      network slice.  Modifying the configurations in this subtree can
      change the traffic characteristics on this node and the related
      networks.

   /nw:networks/nw:network/nt:link/ns:network-slice
      This subtree specifies the configurations of the links in a IETF
      network slice.  Modifying the configurations in this subtree can
      change the traffic characteristics on this link and the related
      networks.

   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 and data
   nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types/ns:network-slice
      Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the network slice
      type.

   /nw:networks/nw:network/ns:network-slice
      Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the topology-wide
      states.

   /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node/ns:network-slice
      Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the operational
      state information of the nodes in a IETF network slice.

   /nw:networks/nw:network/nt:link/ns:network-slic
      Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the operational
      state information of the links in a IETF network slice.
