A YANG Data Model for Address Pool Management
draft-sun-casm-address-pool-management-yang-00
Abstract
This document specifies a YANG data model for IP address pool
management. It can be used to automatically allocate, update and
delete address pools in different devices of an underlying network.

1. Introduction
IP address pool management is one of the basic elements to configure
in a network to offer connectivity services to connected devices.
Concretely, pools can be provisioned to DHCP servers, IPv4 service
continuity devices (e.g., DS-Lite AFTR, NAT64), Carrier Grade NAT
(CGN), Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), etc. Automated means to
rationalize the management of address resources and to make sure the
underlying routing and forwarding capabilities are appropriately
configured, are helpful for opertaors. This document specifies a
YANG data model for that purpose.
A device can be provisioned with a pool of addresses for various
reasons: service requesting hosts with addresses or prefixes (e.g.,
DHCP server, Delegating router), inject appropriate routing entries
(e.g., PE, BNG) given that prefix assignments and routing actions
must be correlated otherwise delivery of connectivity service will
fail. This document does not elaborate the usage of pools
provisioned to a network element.
It is worth mentioning that: (1) current practices rely on static
configuration which is prone to errors, (2) the level of route
aggregation cannot be driven by PE routers without any hint(s) from
an entity that has the visibility on aggregation policies and the
status of prefixes, etc., and (3) relying on proprietary means to
trigger the injection of routing entries may lead to undesired
behavior such as to increase the size of routing table and forwarding
table due to injecting very specific routes.

Internet-Draft Yang Model for Address Pool Management March 2017
Within this document, an address pool usually contains the address
pool type, start-address, end-address, its corresponding lifetime and
the identification of the usage. Each address pool is represented by
an Address Pool Entry (APE).
Pools may be specific to a service offered by a network or be valid
for all services.
Pools can be added and/or withdrawn.
2. Terminology
The terminology for describing YANG data models is defined in
[RFC6020].
The meaning of the symbols in the tree diagrams is as follows:
Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
Curly braces "{" and "}" contain names of optional features that
make the corresponding node conditional.
Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write), "ro" state data (read-only).
Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" a
container with presence, and "*" denotes a "list" or "leaf-list".
Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
3. AddressPoolManagement Data Model
Two YANG modules are defined (Figure 1). The first module, "ietf-
address-pool", defines generic address pool aspects which is common
to all use cases. The second module, "ietf-address-pool-status",
defines the status of the address pool.
module: ietf-address-pool

| +--rw address-pool-name string

5. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via
the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the
secure transport layer and the support of SSH is mandatory to
implement secure transport [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control
model [RFC6536] provides means to restrict access for particular
NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF
protocol operations and contents.
All data nodes defined in the YANG module which can be created,
modified and deleted (i.e., config true, which is the default).
These data nodes are considered sensitive. Write operations (e.g.,
edit-config) applied to these data nodes without proper protection
can negatively affect network operations.
6. IANA Considerations
This document requests IANA to register the following URI in the
"IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-address-pool
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
