              A YANG Data Model for Tunnel Interface Types

Abstract

   This document specifies the initial version of a YANG module "iana-
   tunnel-type", which contains a collection of IANA-maintained YANG
   identities used as interface types for tunnel interfaces.  The module
   reflects the "tunnelType" registry maintained by IANA.  The latest
   revision of this YANG module can be obtained from the IANA website.

   Tunnel type values are not directly added to the Tunnel Interface
   Types YANG module; they must instead be added to the "tunnelType"
   IANA registry.  Once a new tunnel type registration is made by IANA
   for a new tunneling scheme or even an existing one that is not
   already listed in the current registry (e.g., LISP, NSH), IANA will
   update the Tunnel Interface Types YANG module accordingly.

   Some of the IETF-defined tunneling techniques are not listed in the
   current IANA registry.  It is not the intent of this document to
   update the existing IANA registry with a comprehensive list of tunnel
   technologies.  Registrants must follow the IETF registration
   procedure for interface types whenever a new tunnel type is needed.

1.  Introduction

   This document specifies the initial version of the iana-tunnel-type
   YANG module containing a collection of IANA-maintained YANG
   identities identifying tunnel interface types.  The module reflects
   IANA's tunnelType registry under the SMI Numbers registry
   [TUNNELTYPE-IANA-REGISTRY].  The latest revision of this module can
   be obtained from the IANA website.

   Tunnel-specific extensions may be added to the Interface module
   [RFC8343] as a function of the tunnel type.  An example of this is
   provided in Appendix A.  It is not the intention of this document to
   define tunnel-specific extensions for every tunnel encapsulation
   technology; those are discussed in dedicated documents such as
   [RFC8676].  Likewise, it is out of the scope of this document to
   update the existing IANA tunnelType registry
   [TUNNELTYPE-IANA-REGISTRY] with a comprehensive list of tunnel
   technologies.  Guidelines and registration procedures for interface
   types and sub-types are discussed in [IFTYPE-REG].

   This document uses the common YANG types defined in [RFC6991] and
   adopts the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA
   [RFC8342]).

   The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC7950].
   The meanings of the symbols used in the tree diagram are defined in
   [RFC8340].

2.  IANA Tunnel Type YANG Module

   The iana-tunnel-type module imports the 'iana-if-type' module defined
   in [RFC7224].

   The initial version of the module includes tunnel types defined in
   [RFC4087], [RFC7856], [RFC7870], and [RFC6346].

3.  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.

   The module defined in this document defines YANG identities for the
   iana-tunnel-types registry.  These identities are intended to be
   referenced by other YANG modules, and by themselves do not expose any
   nodes which are writable, contain read-only state, or RPCs.  As such,
   there are no additional security issues to be considered relating to
   the module defined in this document.

4.  IANA Considerations

4.1.  YANG Module

   IANA has registered the following URI in the "ns" subregistry within
   the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:

   URI:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-tunnel-type
   Registrant Contact:  IANA
   XML:  N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

   IANA registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names"
   subregistry [RFC7950] within the "YANG Parameters" registry.

   Name:  iana-tunnel-type
   Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-tunnel-type
   Prefix:  iana-tunnel-type
   Reference:  RFC 8675

   This document defines the initial version of the IANA-maintained
   iana-tunnel-type YANG module.  IANA has added this note to the
   registry:

      Tunnel type values must not be directly added to the iana-tunnel-
      type YANG module.  They must instead be added to the "tunnelType"
      subregistry (under the "ifType definitions" registry) at [IANA
      registry smi-numbers].

   When a tunnel type is added to the "tunnelType" subregistry, a new
   "identity" statement must be added to the iana-tunnel-type YANG
   module.  The name of the "identity" is the lower-case of the
   corresponding enumeration in the IANAifType-MIB (i.e.,
   IANAtunnelType).  The "identity" statement should have the following
   sub-statements defined:

   "base":        Contains 'ift:tunnel'.

   "description":  Replicates the description from the registry.

   "reference":   Replicates the reference from the registry and adds
                  the title of the document.

   Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module.

   When the iana-tunnel-type YANG module is updated, a new "revision"
   statement must be added in front of the existing revision statements.

   IANA has added the following note to "tunnelType" subregistry:

      When this registry is modified, the YANG module iana-tunnel-type
      must be updated as defined in RFC 8675.

4.2.  Updates to the IANA tunnelType Table

   IANA has updated the following entries in the tunnelType registry
   under the SMI Numbers registry [TUNNELTYPE-IANA-REGISTRY].

Appendix A.  Example Usage

   The following example illustrates how the Interface YANG module can
   be augmented with tunnel-specific parameters.  In this example, the
   module is augmented with a 'remote-endpoint' for the tunnel.  A tree
   structure is provided below:

   module: example-iftunnel-extension
     augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
       +--rw remote-endpoint?   inet:ipv6-address

   The 'example-iftunnel-extension' module imports the modules defined
   in [RFC6991] and [RFC8343] in addition to the "iana-tunnel-type"
   module defined in this document.

   module example-iftunnel-extension {
     yang-version 1.1;

     namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:example-iftunnel-extension";
     prefix example;

     import ietf-inet-types {
       prefix inet;
       reference
         "RFC 6991: Common YANG Data Types, Section 4";
     }

     import ietf-interfaces {
       prefix if;
       reference
         "RFC 8343: A YANG Data Model for Interface Management";
     }

     import iana-tunnel-type  {
       prefix iana-tunnel-type;
       reference
         "RFC 8675:  A Tunnel Extension to the Interface Management
                     YANG Module";
     }
