Abstract

   Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) refers to the set of
   virtual network operations needed to orchestrate, control and manage
   large-scale multi-domain TE networks, so as to facilitate network
   programmability, automation, efficient resource sharing, and end-to-
   end virtual service aware connectivity and network function
   virtualization services.

   This document explains how the different types of YANG models
   defined in the Operations and Management Area and in the Routing
   Area are applicable to the ACTN framework. This document also shows
   how the ACTN architecture can be satisfied using classes of data
   model that have already been defined, and discusses the
   applicability of specific data models that are under development. It
   also highlights where new data models may need to be developed.

1. Introduction

   Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) describes a method for
   operating a Traffic Engineered (TE) network (such as an MPLS-TE
   network or a layer 1 transport network) to provide connectivity and
   virtual network services for customers of the TE network. The
   services provided can be tuned to meet the requirements (such as
   traffic patterns, quality, and reliability) of the applications
   hosted by the customers. More details about ACTN can be found in
   Section 2.

   Data models are a representation of objects that can be configured
   or monitored within a system. Within the IETF, YANG [RFC6020] is the
   language of choice for documenting data models, and YANG models have
   been produced to allow configuration or modelling of a variety of
   network devices, protocol instances, and network services. YANG data
   models have been classified in [Netmod-Yang-Model-Classification]
   and [Service-YANG].

   This document shows how the ACTN architecture can be satisfied using
   classes of data model that have already been defined, and discusses
   the applicability of specific data models that are under
   development. It also highlights where new data models may need to be
   developed.

   Coordinator (MDSC), and Physical Network Controller (PNC)) and their
   interfaces.

   Figure 1 depicts a high-level control and interface architecture for
   ACTN and is a reproduction of Figure 3 from [ACTN-Frame]. A number
   of key ACTN interfaces exist for deployment and operation of ACTN-
   based networks. These are highlighted in Figure 1 (ACTN Interfaces)

   The interfaces and functions are described below (without modifying
   the definitions) in [ACTN-Frame]:

     . The CNC-MDSC Interface (CMI) is an interface between a Customer
        Network Controller and a Multi Domain Service Controller. The
        interface will communicate the service request or application
        demand. A request will include specific service properties, for
        example, services type, bandwidth and constraint information.
        These constraints SHOULD be measurable by MDSC and therefore
        visible to CNC via CMI. The CNC can also request the creation
        of the virtual network based on underlying physical resources
        to provide network services for the applications. The CNC can
        provide the end-point information/characteristics, traffic
        matrix specifying specific customer constraints.  The MDSC may
        also report potential network topology availability if queried
        for current capability from the Customer Network Controller.

     . The MDSC-PNC Interface (MPI) is an interface between a Multi
        Domain Service Coordinator and a Physical Network Controller.
        It allows the MDSC to communicate requests to create/delete
        connectivity or to modify bandwidth reservations in the
        physical network. In multi-domain environments, each PNC is
        responsible for a separate domain. The MDSC needs to establish
        multiple MPIs, one for each PNC and perform coordination
        between them to provide cross-domain connectivity.

     . The South-Bound Interface (SBI) is the provisioning interface
        for creating forwarding state in the physical network,
        requested via the Physical Network Controller. The SBI is not
        in the scope of ACTN, however, it is included in this document
        so that it can be compared to models in [Service-Yang].

3. Service Models

   [Service-YANG] introduces a reference architecture to explain the
   nature and usage of service YANG models in the context of service
   orchestration. Figure 2 below depicts this relationship and is a
   reproduction of Figure 2 from [Service-YANG]. Four models depicted
   in Figure 2 are defined as follows:

     . Customer Service Model:  A customer service model is used to
        describe a service as offer or delivered to a customer by a
        network operator.
     . Service Delivery Model:  A service delivery model is used by a
        network operator to define and configure how a service is
        provided by the network.
     . Network Configuration Model: A network configuration model is
        used by a network orchestrator to provide network-level
        configuration model to a controller.

     . Device Configuration Model: A device configuration model is
        used by a controller to configure physical network elements.

4. Service Model Mapping to ACTN

   YANG models coupled with the RESTCONF/NETCONF protocol
   [Netconf][Restconf] provides solutions for the ACTN framework. This
   section explains which types of YANG models apply to each of the
   ACTN interfaces.

Internet-Draft                ACTN YANG                       June 2017



   Refer to Figure 5 of [ACTN-Frame] for details of the mapping between
   ACTN functions and service models. In summary, the following
   mappings are held between and Service Yang Models and the ACTN
   interfaces.

     o Customer Service Model <-> CMI
     o Network Configuration Model <-> MPI
     o Device Configuration Model <-> SBI


4.1. Customer Service Models in the ACTN Architecture (CMI)

   Customer Service Models, which are used between a customer and a
   service orchestrator as in [Service-YANG], should be used between
   the CNC and MDSC (e.g., CMI) serving as providing a simple intent-
   like model/interface.

   Among the key functions of Customer Service Models on the CMI is the
   service request. A request will include specific service properties,
   including: service type and its characteristics, bandwidth,
   constraint information, and end-point characteristics.

   The following table provides a list of functions needed to build the
   CMI. They are mapped with Customer Service Models.

      Function                            Yang Model
      -----------------------------------------------------------
      Transport Service Request              [Transport-Service-Model]
      VN Service Request & Instantiation     [ACTN-VN-YANG]
      VN Path Computation Request            [ACTN-VN-YANG]*
      VN Performance Monitoring Telemetry    [ACTN-PM-Telemetry]**
      Topology Abstraction                   [TE-topology]



   *VN Path computation request in the CMI context means network path
   computation request based on customer service connectivity request
   constraints prior to the instantiation of a VN creation.

   **ietf-actn-te-kpi-telemetry model describes performance telemetry
   for ACTN VN model. This module 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
   the controller to react to a certain set of variations in monitored
   parameters. Moreover, this module also provides mechanism to define

   aggregated telemetry parameters as a grouping of underlying VN level
   telemetry parameters.

4.2. Service Delivery Models in ACTN Architecture

   The Service Delivery Models where the service orchestration and the
   network orchestration could be implemented as separate components as
   seen in [Service-YANG]. This is also known as Network Service
   Models. On the other hand, from an ACTN architecture point of view,
   the service delivery model between the service orchestrator and the
   network orchestrator is an internal interface between sub-components
   of the MDSC in a single MDSC model.

   In the MDSC hierarchical model where there are multiple MDSCs, the
   interface between the top MDSC and the bottom MDSC can be mapped to
   service delivery models.



4.3. Network Configuration Models in ACTN Architecture (MPI)

   The Network Configuration Models is used between the network
   orchestrator and the controller in [Service-YANG]. In ACTN, this
   model is used primarily between a MDSC and a PNC. The Network
   Configuration Model can be also used for the foundation of more
   advanced models, like hierarchical MDSCs (see Section 4.5)

   The Network Configuration Model captures the parameters which are
   network wide information.

   The following table provides a list of functions needed to build the
   MPI. They are mapped with Network Configuration Yang Models. Note
   that various Yang models are work in progress.

   * Related draft is presenting use cases for path computation API,

   ** Note that path provisioning function is provided by ietf-te
   module in [TE-Tunnel].

   ** ietf-actn-te-kpi-telemetry model describes performance telemetry
   for TE-tunnel model. This module 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.

   **** This function needs to be investigated further. This can be a
   part of [TE-Tunnel] which is to be determined. Service provisioning
   is an optional function that builds on top the path provisioning
   one.

   Path provisioning and Topology abstraction functions are mandatory
   in any case, while Path Computation may be mandatory or optional
   depending on the type of topology abstraction used. Details of this
   topic are discussed in [ACTN-Abstraction].

   Telemetry may also be an optional function.



4.4. Device Models in ACTN Architecture (SBI)

   For the device YANG models are used for per-device configuration
   purpose, they can be used between the PNC and the physical
   network/devices. Note that SBI is not in the scope of ACTN. This
   section is provided to give some examples of YANG-based Device
   Models. An example of Device Models is ietf-te-device yang module
   defined in [TE-tunnel].

5. Examples of Using Different Types of YANG Models

5.1. Simple Connectivity Examples

   The data model in [Transport-Service-Model] provides an intent-like
   connectivity service model which can be used in connection-oriented
   networks.

   It would be used as follows in the ACTN architecture:

     . A CNC uses this service model to specify the two client nodes
        that are to be connected, and also indicates the amount of
        traffic (i.e., the bandwidth required) and payload type. What
        may be additionally specified is the SLA that describes the
        required quality and resilience of the service.

     . The MDSC uses the information in the request to pick the right
        network (domain) and also to select the provider edge nodes
        corresponding to the customer edge nodes.

        If there are multiple domains, then the MDSC needs to
        coordinate across domains to set up network tunnels to deliver
        a service. Thus coordination includes, but is not limited to,
        picking the right domain sequence to deliver a service. Before
        it can perform such functions, it needs to get the topology
        information from each PNC, using topology YANG models such as
        [te-topology]. The topology reported from PNC to MDSC can
        either be abstract or non-abstract.

        Additionally, an MDSC can initiate the creation of a tunnel (or
        tunnel segment) in order to fulfill the service request from
        CNC based on path computation upon the overall topology
        information it synthesized from different PNCs. The based model
        that can cater this purpose is the te-tunnel model specified in
        [te-tunnel].

     . Then, the PNC needs to decide the explicit route of such a
        tunnel or tunnel segment (in case of multiple domains), and
        create such a tunnel using protocols such as PCEP and RSVP-TE
        or using per-hop configuration.

5.2. VN service example

   The service model defined in [ACTN-VN-YANG] describes a virtual
   network (VN) as a service which is a set of multiple connectivity
   services:



Zhang, et al.         Expires December 30, 2017               [Page 10]


Internet-Draft                ACTN YANG                       June 2017


     . A CNC will request VN to the MDSC by specifying a list of VN
        members. Each VN member specifies either a single connectivity
        service, or a source with multiple potential destination points
        in the case that the precise destination sites are to be
        determined by MDSC.

          o In the first case, the procedure is the same as the
             connectivity service, except that in this case, there is a
             list of connections requested.

          o In the second case, where the CNC requests the MDSC to
             select the right destination out of a list of candidates,
             the MDSC needs to choose the best candidate and reply with
             the chosen destination for a given VN member.  After this
             is selected, the connectivity request setup procedure is
             the same as in the connectivity-as-a-service example.


   After the VN is set up, a successful reply message is sent from MDSC
   to CNC, indicating the VN is ready. This message can also be
   achieved by using the model defined in [ACTN-VN-YANG].

5.3. Data Center-Interconnection Example

   This section describes more concretely how existing YANG models
   described in Section 4 map to an ACTN data center interconnection
   use case. Figure 3 shows a use-case which shows service policy-
   driven Data Center selection and is a reproduction of Figure A.1
   from [ACTN-Info].

   Figure 3 shows how VN policies from the CNC (Global Data Center
   Operation) are incorporated by the MDSC to support multi-destination
   applications. Multi-destination applications refer to applications
   in which the selection of the destination of a network path for a
   given source needs to be decided dynamically to support such
   applications.

   Data Center selection problems arise for VM mobility, disaster
   recovery and load balancing cases. VN's policy plays an important
   role for virtual network operation. Policy can be static or dynamic.
   Dynamic policy for data center selection may be placed as a result
   of utilization of data center resources supporting VMs. The MDSC
   would then incorporate this information to meet the objective of
   this application.

        5.3.1. CMI (CNC-MDSC Interface)

   [ACTN-VN-YANG] is used to express the definition of a VN, its VN
   creation request, the service objectives (metrics, QoS parameters,
   etc.), dynamic service policy when VM needs to be moved from one
   Data Center to another Data Center, etc. This service model is used
   between the CNC and the MDSC (CMI). The CNC in this use-case is an
   external entity that wants to create a VN and operates on the VN.

        5.3.2. MPI (MDSC-PNC Interface)

   The Network Configuration Model is used between the MDSC and the
   PNCs. Based on the Customer Service Model's request, the MDSC will
   need to translate the service model into the network configuration
   model to instantiate a set of multi-domain connections between the
   prescribed sources and the destinations. The MDSC will also need to
   dynamically interact with the CNC for dynamic policy changes
   initiated by the CNC. Upon the determination of the multi-domain
   connections, the MDSC will need to use the network configuration
   model such as [TE-Tunnel] to interact with each PNC involved on the
   path. [TE-Topology] is used to for the purpose of underlying domain
   network abstraction from the PNC to the MDSC.

        5.3.3. PDI (PNC-Device interface)

   The Device Model can be used between the PNC and its underlying
   devices that are controlled by the PNC. The PNC will need to trigger
   signaling using any mechanisms it employees (e.g. [RSVP-TE-YANG]) to
   provision its domain path segment. There can be a plethora of
   choices how to control/manage its domain network. The PNC is
   responsible to abstract its domain network resources and update it

6. Security

   This document is an informational draft. When the models mentioned
   in this draft are implemented, detailed security consideration will
   be given in such work.

   How security fits into the whole architecture has the following
   components:

   - the use of Restconf security between components

   - the use of authentication and policy to govern which services can
   be requested by different parties.

   - how security may be requested as an element of a service and
   mapped down to protocol security mechanisms as well as separation
   (slicing) of physical resources)
