        YANG Data Model for Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies

Abstract

   This document defines a YANG data model for representing, retrieving,
   and manipulating Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies.  The model
   serves as a base model that other technology-specific TE topology
   models can augment.

1.  Introduction

   The Traffic Engineering Database (TED) is an essential component of
   Traffic Engineered (TE) systems that are based on MPLS-TE [RFC2702]
   and GMPLS [RFC3945].  The TED is a collection of all TE information
   about all TE nodes and TE links in the network.  The TE topology is a
   schematic arrangement of TE nodes and TE links present in a given
   TED.  There could be one or more TE topologies present in a given TE
   system.  A TE topology is the topology on which path computational
   algorithms are run to compute TE paths.

   This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] for representing,
