Proposed Standard

Abstract

This document contains the specification for the Deterministic Networking (DetNet) YANG data model for configuration and operational data for DetNet flows. The model allows the provisioning of an end-to-end DetNet service on devices along the path without depending on any signaling protocol. It also specifies operational status for flows.

The YANG module defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).

1. Introduction

DetNet (Deterministic Networking) provides the ability to carry specified unicast or multicast data flows for real-time applications with extremely low packet loss rates and assured maximum end-to-end delivery latency. A description of the general background and concepts of DetNet can be found in [RFC8655].

This document defines a YANG data model for DetNet based on YANG data types and modeling language defined in [RFC6991] and [RFC7950].

This document also includes the following:

  • The DetNet service, which is designed to describe the characteristics of services being provided for application flows over a network.
  • DetNet configuration, which is designed to provide DetNet flow path establishment, flow status reporting, and configuration of DetNet functions in order to achieve end-to-end bounded latency and zero congestion loss.

This YANG data model is scoped to the description of the aggregation/disaggregation and data plane capabilities of the DetNet data planes defined in "Deterministic Networking Architecture" [RFC8655] and "Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Data Plane Framework" [RFC8938]. DetNet operates at the IP layer and delivers service over lower-layer technologies such as MPLS and IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN).

3. Terminology

This document uses the terminology defined in [RFC8655]. The terms "A-Label", "S-Label", and "F-Label" are used in this document as defined in [RFC8964].

4. DetNet YANG Module

The DetNet YANG module (Section 8) includes DetNet App-flow, DetNet service sub-layer, and DetNet forwarding sub-layer configuration and operational objects. The corresponding attributes used in different sub-layers are defined in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, respectively.

Layers of the objects typically occur in the different data instances forming the node types defined in [RFC8655]. Table 1 illustrates the relationship between data instance node types and the included layers. Node types are logical roles per DetNet service: one DetNet service may use a device of one node type, while another service may use the same device with a different node type. This model is a controller-based model, because a controller or operator configures all of the devices to form a service.

Table 1: DetNet Layers and Node Types
Data Instance
Edge Node Relay Node Transit Node
App-Flow Data Layer
Service Sub-layer Service Sub-layer
Forwarding Sub-layer Forwarding Sub-layer Forwarding Sub-layer

All of the layers have ingress/incoming and egress/outgoing operations, but any instance may be configured as unidirectional only. "Ingress" refers to any DetNet layer where a DetNet context is applied. Ingress allows functions such as switching, aggregation, and encapsulation. "Egress" refers to any DetNet layer where a DetNet context is removed. Egress allows functions such as switching, disaggregation, and decapsulation. This means that each unidirectional flow identifier configuration is programmed starting at the ingress and flow status is reported at the ingress on each end. In the case of MPLS, once encapsulated, the IP 6-tuple parameters (see [RFC8938]) may not be required to be programmed again. In the case of IP, without encapsulation, various IP flow identification parameters must be configured along the flow path.

In the YANG data model defined in this document, the terms "source" and "destination" are used as flow identifiers, whereas "ingress" and "egress" refer to a DetNet application direction from the application edge. "Ingress" means "to the DetNet application", and "egress" means "from the application". The terms "incoming" and "outgoing" represent the flow direction towards the remote application as a unidirectional flow. This means the terms are used at a sub-layer to represent "incoming" to the sub-layer function and "outgoing" is viewed as leaving the sub-layer. For the service sub-layer, "incoming" is typically aggregating applications flows or other service sub-layers, etc. For the forwarding sub-layer, "incoming" is typically aggregating service sub-layers. However, this also means for both service and forwarding sub-layers at the egress DetNet node "incoming" also handles external flows "incoming" to the respective sub-layer. For MPLS, this would usually involve the removal of a label. For IP -- where the representative sub-layer is merely an aggregation of an IP prefix or IP tuple -- there may be no incoming/outgoing definitions, since the arriving packet can be handled directly by a standard next-hop routing decision. In examples (Appendix B) where both aggregation and disaggregation take place, at the egress of the flow "outgoing" relates to the aggregating output and "incoming" relates to the disaggregating flows.

At the egress point, forwarding information is determined by the App-flow type with all DetNet-related headers removed. In the case of IP, the forwarding information can specify an output port or set a next-hop address. In the case of MPLS, it can set an MPLS label.

4.1. DetNet Application Flow YANG Attributes

DetNet application flows are responsible for mapping between application flows and DetNet flows at the edge node (egress/ingress node). The application flows can be either Layer 2 or Layer 3 flows. To map a flow at the User-Network Interface (UNI), the corresponding attributes defined in [RFC9016] are used.

4.2. DetNet Service Sub-layer YANG Attributes

DetNet service functions, e.g., DetNet tunnel initialization/termination and service protection, are provided in the DetNet service sub-layer. To support these functions, the following service attributes need to be configured:

  • DetNet flow identification.
  • Service function type. Indicates which service function will be invoked at a DetNet edge, relay node, or end station. (DetNet tunnel initialization and termination are default functions in the DetNet service sub-layer, so there is no need to indicate them explicitly.) The corresponding arguments for service functions also need to be defined.

4.3. DetNet Forwarding Sub-layer YANG Attributes

As defined in [RFC8655], the DetNet forwarding sub-layer optionally provides congestion protection for DetNet flows over paths provided by the underlying network. Explicit routes provide another mechanism used by DetNet to avoid temporary interruptions caused by the convergence of routing or bridging protocols. Explicit routes are also implemented at the DetNet forwarding sub-layer.

To support congestion protection and explicit routes, the following transport-layer-related attributes are necessary:

  • Flow specification and traffic requirements are as described in the information model provided in [RFC9016]. These may be used for resource reservation, flow shaping, filtering, and policing by a control plane or other network management and control mechanisms.
  • Since this model programs the data plane, existing explicit route mechanisms can be reused. If a static MPLS tunnel is used as the transport tunnel, the configuration needs to be at every transit node along the path. For an IP-based path, the static configuration is similar to the static MPLS case. This document provides data plane configuration of IP addresses or MPLS labels, but it does not provide control plane mapping or other techniques.

5. DetNet Flow Aggregation

DetNet provides the ability to perform flow aggregation to improve the scalability of DetNet data, management, and control planes. Aggregated flows can be viewed by some DetNet nodes as individual DetNet flows. When aggregating DetNet flows, the flows should be compatible: if bandwidth reservation is used, the reservation should be a reasonable representation of the total aggregate bandwidth; if maximum delay bounds are used, the system should ensure that the total DetNet flow delay does not exceed the maximum delay bound of any individual flow.

The DetNet YANG data model defined in this document supports DetNet flow aggregation with the following functions:

  • Aggregated flow encapsulation/decapsulation/identification.
  • Mapping individual DetNet flows to an aggregated flow.
  • Changing traffic specification parameters for aggregated flows.

The following DetNet aggregation scenarios are supported:

  • The ingress node aggregates App-flows into a service sub-layer of a DetNet flow.
  • In the ingress node, the service sub-layers of DetNet flows are aggregated into a forwarding sub-layer.
  • In the ingress node, the service sub-layers of DetNet flows are aggregated into a service sub-layer of an aggregated DetNet flow.
  • The relay node aggregates the forwarding sub-layers of DetNet flows into a forwarding sub-layer.
  • The relay node aggregates the service sub-layers of DetNet flows into a forwarding sub-layer.
  • The relay node aggregates the service sub-layers of DetNet flows into a service sub-layer of an aggregated DetNet flow.
  • The relay node aggregates the forwarding sub-layers of DetNet flows into a service sub-layer of an aggregated DetNet flow.
  • The transit node aggregates the forwarding sub-layers of DetNet flows into a forwarding sub-layer.

Traffic requirements and the traffic specification may be tracked for individual or aggregate flows, but reserving resources and tracking the services in the aggregated flow are out of scope.

6. DetNet YANG Structure Considerations

This diagram shows the general structure of the DetNet YANG data model:

                 +-----------+
                 |ietf-detnet|
                 +-----+-----+

        +--------------+----------------+------------------+
        |              |                |                  |
  +-----+------+ +-----+------+ +-------+------+           |
  |     App-   | |   Service  | |  Forwarding  |           |
  |    Flows   | |  Sub-layer | |  Sub-layer   |           |
  +-----+------+ +-----+------+ +-------+------+           |
        |              |                |                  |
  +-----+------+ +-----+------+ +-------+------+           |
  | Reference  | | Reference  | | Reference    |           |
  | to Traffic | | to Traffic | | to Traffic   |   +-------+-------+
  | Profile    | | Profile    | | Profile      |   |Traffic Profile|
  +------------+ +------------+ +--------------+   +---------------+

There are three layer types in the DetNet YANG data model: the App-flow data layer, the service sub-layer, and the forwarding sub-layer. Additionally, the traffic parameters are captured in a traffic profile that can be referenced by any of the layers.

Below is a summary YANG tree showing the major items. The complete YANG tree is provided in Appendix A.

A traffic profile can be created for an application, a service sub-layer, or a forwarding sub-layer. A single profile may be shared by multiple applications/sub-layers. Each profile indicates the members currently using that profile.

Depending on which DetNet layers and functions are required, some or all of the components may be configured. Examples are provided in Appendix B.

10. Security Considerations

Security considerations for DetNet are covered in "Deterministic Networking Architecture" [RFC8655] and "Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Security Considerations" [RFC9055].

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. Unauthorized write operations (e.g., edit-config) to any elements of this module can break or incorrectly connect DetNet flows. Since DetNet is a configured data plane, any changes that are not coordinated with all devices along the path will result in a denial of service. In addition, arbitrary write operations could enable an attacker to modify a network path to enable select traffic to avoid inspection or treatment by security controls or to route traffic in such a way that the traffic would be subject to inspection/modification by an adversary node.

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:

/detnet/app-flows:
This controls the application details, so it could be considered sensitive.
/detnet/traffic-profile/member-app-flow:
This links traffic profiles to applications, service sub-layers, and/or forwarding sub-layers, so this could also be considered more sensitive.
/detnet/service/sub-layer/incoming/app-flow:
This links applications to services.
/detnet/service/sub-layer/outgoing/app-flow:
This links applications to services.

The above nodes can reveal identifiable characteristics of the application flows.

/detnet/service/sub-layer:
This defines the service and forwarding operations.
/detnet/forwarding/sub-layer:
This defines the forwarding operations.

The above nodes can reveal some aspects of the network topology in the case of unauthorized access to this configuration.

Appendix B. Examples

This section provides several examples. These examples were tested with the "yanglint" program and use operational output to exercise both "config true" and "config false" objects. Note that IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported, but for clarity, IPv4 is used, with the exception of Example A-1 (Appendix B.1). The IP types are imported from [RFC6991]; these types support both IPv4 and IPv6.

The following conventions are used in the diagrams.

  • In the diagrams found in the PDF and HTML copies of this document, replication and elimination points are shown as "R" and "E" in circles, respectively.
  • Packet headers, including a DetNet aggregation label (A-Label), service label (S-Label), and forwarding label (F-Label), are illustrated at each hop as defined in [RFC8964].
  • Aggregation/disaggregation nodes are indicated by dashed-line boxes.
  • Since the model augments IETF interfaces, minimal interface YANG data is provided to validate the interface data as well. This shows up as a named value, such as "eth0", that is referenced by the configuration.

Below are examples of aggregation and disaggregation at various points in DetNet. Where indicated, figures are provided in the PDF and HTML copies of this document.

B.1. Example A-1: Application Flow Aggregation

This example illustrates multiple App-flows with the same source, destination, and traffic specification aggregated into a single DetNet flow service sub-layer. Ingress node 1 aggregates App-flows 0 and 1 into a service sub-layer of DetNet flow 1. Two ways to illustrate this are provided in Figures 1 and 2; the JSON operational data model [RFC8259] corresponding to the diagrams is then shown in Figure 3. The address format used in this example is IPv6.

Figure 3: Example A-1: DetNet Configuration Application Flow Aggregation

B.2. Example B-1: Aggregation Using a Forwarding Sub-layer

As illustrated in Figure 4, DetNet service sub-layer flows 1 and 2 are aggregated into a single forwarding sub-layer. For the same destination, multiple DetNet flows use a single forwarding path, and service protection is performed by the corresponding service sub-layer of each flow. The corresponding XML operational data for node "Ingress 1" follows.

Figure 5 contains the operational XML configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 4. In this example, "app-0" and "app-1" are in separate service sub-layers with MPLS labels, and the aggregation happens at forwarding sub-layer afl-1, using MPLS labels.

Figure 5: Example B-1: DetNet Configuration Forwarding Sub-layer Aggregation

B.3. Example B-2: Service Aggregation

As illustrated in Figure 6, DetNet service sub-layer flows 1 and 2 are aggregated into a service sub-layer of an aggregated flow. Multiple DetNet flows with the same requirements for the same destination are aggregated into a single aggregated DetNet flow, and service protection and resource allocation are performed by an aggregated DetNet flow service sub-layer and forwarding sub-layer. The corresponding JSON operational data for node "Ingress 1" follows.

Figure 6: Case B-2: Example Service Aggregation

Figure 7 contains the operational JSON configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 6. In this example, service sub-layer ssl-1 for DetNet flow DN-1 and ssl-2 for DetNet flow DN-2 aggregate at service sub-layer DetNet flow asl-1. In this example, an aggregation service sub-layer, asl-1, is created to aggregate ssl-1 and ssl2, and that label is encapsulated in a separate forwarding sub-layer, afl-1, with MPLS labels.

Figure 8: Case C-1: Example Service Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 9 contains the operational JSON configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 8. In this example, a relay performing aggregation at the forwarding sub-layer is illustrated. Two DetNet flows -- DN-1 and DN-2 -- are replicated at each service sub-layer. The two forwarding sub-layers for the upper path are aggregated at the forwarding sub-layer with label 20000, and the two forwarding sub-layers for the lower path are aggregated at the forwarding sub-layer with label 20001. Figure 10 contains the operational JSON configuration for the egress disaggregation node illustrated in Figure 8.

Figure 10: Example C-1: DetNet Relay Service Disaggregation

B.5. Example C-2: DetNet Relay Service Sub-layer Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 11 illustrates the DetNet relay node's service sub-layer flows 1 and 2 aggregated into a single forwarding sub-layer. Service protection is performed by the corresponding service sub-layer of each flow, and resource allocation is performed by an aggregated forwarding sub-layer for all aggregated flows. Figure 11 illustrates both aggregation and disaggregation, and the corresponding JSON operational data follows.

Figure 11: Case C-2: Example Service Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 12 contains the operational JSON configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 11. In this example, a relay performing aggregation at the forwarding sub-layer is illustrated. Two DetNet flows -- DN-1 and DN-2 -- are replicated at each service sub-layer. Each replicated flow for the service sub-layer for the upper path is aggregated at the single forwarding sub-layer with MPLS label 20000, and each replicated flow for the service sub-layer for the lower path is aggregated at the forwarding sub-layer with MPLS label 20001. Figure 13 contains the operational JSON configuration for the egress disaggregation node illustrated in Figure 11.

B.6. Example C-3: DetNet Relay Service Sub-layer Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 14 illustrates the DetNet relay node's service sub-layer flows 1 and 2 aggregated into a service sub-layer flow. Multiple DetNet flows with the same requirements that can use the same path are aggregated into a single aggregated DetNet flow, and service protection and resource allocation are performed by the service sub-layer and forwarding sub-layer of the aggregated DetNet flow. Figure 14 illustrates both aggregation and disaggregation, and the corresponding JSON operational data follows.

Figure 14: Case C-3: Example Service Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 15 contains the operational JSON configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 14. In this example, a relay performing aggregation at the service sub-layer is illustrated. Two DetNet flows -- DN-1 and DN-2 -- are relayed at each service sub-layer with MPLS labels 101 and 104, respectively, and each service sub-layer is aggregated at a single service sub-layer flow and replicated. Figure 16 contains the operational JSON configuration for the egress disaggregation node illustrated in Figure 14.

Figure 16: Example C-3: DetNet Relay Service Sub-layer Disaggregation

B.7. Example C-4: DetNet Relay Service Sub-layer Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 17 illustrates the DetNet relay node's forwarding sub-layer flows 1 and 2 aggregated into a service sub-layer DetNet flow. Multiple DetNet flows with the same requirements that can use the same path are aggregated into a single aggregated DetNet flow. Service protection is performed by the service sub-layer of the aggregated DetNet flow, and resource allocation is performed by the forwarding sub-layer of each aggregated DetNet flow. Figure 17 illustrates both aggregation and disaggregation, and the corresponding JSON operational data follows.

Figure 17: Case C-4: Example Service Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 18 contains the operational JSON configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 17. In this example, a relay performing aggregation at the service sub-layer is illustrated. Two DetNet flows -- DN-1 and DN-2 -- are relayed at each service sub-layer. The two DetNet forwarding sub-layer flows with MPLS labels 20004 and 20005 are aggregated at the single service sub-layer DetNet flow and then replicated. Figure 19 contains the operational JSON configuration for the egress disaggregation node illustrated in Figure 17.

Figure 19: Example C-4: DetNet Relay Service Sub-layer Disaggregation

B.8. Example D-1: Transit Node Forwarding Sub-layer Aggregation/Disaggregation

As illustrated in Figure 20, at the transit node, forwarding sub-layer flows 1 and 2 are aggregated into a single forwarding sub-layer. Resource allocation is performed by the corresponding forwarding sub-layer for all aggregated flows. Figure 20 illustrates both aggregation and disaggregation, and the corresponding JSON operational data follows.

Figure 20: Case D-1: Example Transit Node Forwarding Aggregation/Disaggregation

Figure 21 contains the operational JSON configuration for the ingress aggregation node illustrated in Figure 20. In this example, a transit node performing aggregation at the forwarding sub-layer is illustrated. Two DetNet flows -- DN-1 and DN-2 -- are transmitted at each forwarding sub-layer. The DetNet forwarding sub-layer flows with MPLS labels 10002 and 10006 are aggregated at the single forwarding sub-layer. The resulting aggregated DetNet flow has MPLS label 20000. Figure 22 contains the operational JSON configuration for the egress disaggregation transit node illustrated in Figure 20.
