[I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation] describes key use cases, where a client needs to request underlying SDN controllers for path computation. In some of these use cases, the underlying SDN controller can control an Optical Transport Network (OTN).¶
This document defines a YANG data model, which augment the generic Path Computation RPC defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation], with OTN technology-specific augmentations required to request path computation to an underlying OTN SDN controller. These models allow a client to delegate path computation tasks to the underlying SDN controller without having to obtain OTN detailed information from the controller and performing feasible path computation itself.¶
The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture [RFC8342].¶
Refer to [I-D.ietf-ccamp-otn-topo-yang] and [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types] for the OTN specific terms used in this document.¶
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are not redefined here:¶
The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined here:¶
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950].¶
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in Section 3 of this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].¶
In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG imported modules, as shown in Table 1.¶

The YANG data model for requesting OTN path computation is defined as an augmentation of the generic Path Computation RPC defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation], as shown in Figure 1.¶
The entities and Traffic Engineering (TE) attributes, such as requested path and tunnel attributes, defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-path-computation], are still applicable when requesting OTN path computation and the models defined in this document only specifies the additional OTN technology-specific attributes/information, using the attributes defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
The YANG module ietf-otn-path-computation defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].¶
The OTN path computation model augments all the occurrences of the te-bandwidth container with the OTN technology-specific attributes using the otn-link-bandwidth and otn-path-bandwidth groupings defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
The OTN path computation model augments all the occurrences of the label-restriction list with OTN technology-specific attributes using the otn-label-range-info grouping defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
Moreover, the model augments all the occurrences of the te-label container with the OTN technology-specific attributes using the otn-label-start-end, otn-label-hop and otn-label-step groupings defined in [I-D.ietf-ccamp-layer1-types].¶
Figure 2 below shows the tree diagram of the YANG data model defined in module ietf-otn-path-computation.yang.¶
