This document defines a YANG data model to describe topologies of microwave/millimeter wave (hereafter microwave is used to simplify the text). The YANG data model describes radio links, supporting carrier(s) and the associated termination points [RFC8561]. A carrier is a description of a link providing transport capacity over the air by a single carrier. It is typically defined by its transmitting and receiving frequencies. A radio link is a link providing the aggregated transport capacity of the supporting carriers in aggregated and/or protected configurations, which can be used to carry traffic on higher topology layers such as Ethernet and TDM. The model augments "YANG Data Model for Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies" defined in [RFC8795], which is based on "A YANG Data Model for Network Topologies" defined in [RFC8345].¶
The microwave point-to-point radio technology provides connectivity on Layer 0 / Layer 1 (L0/L1) over a radio link between two termination points, using one or several supporting carriers in aggregated or protected configurations. That application of microwave technology cannot be used to perform cross-connection or switching of the traffic to create network connectivity across multiple microwave radio links. Instead, a payload of traffic on higher topology layers, normally Layer 2 (L2) Ethernet, is carried over the microwave radio link and when the microwave radio link is terminated at the endpoints, cross-connection and switching can be performed on that higher layer creating connectivity across multiple supporting microwave radio links.¶
The microwave topology model is expected to be used between a Provisioning Network Controller (PNC) and a Multi Domain Service Coordinator (MDSC) [RFC8453]. Examples of use cases that can be supported are:¶
Correlation between microwave radio links and the supported links on higher topology layers (e.g., an L2 Ethernet topology). This information can be used to understand how changes in the performance/status of a microwave radio link affect traffic on higher layers.¶
Propagation of relevant characteristics of a microwave radio link, such as bandwidth, to higher topology layers, where it could be used as a criterion when configuring and optimizing a path for a connection/service through the network end to end.¶
Optimization of the microwave radio link configurations on a network level, with the purpose to minimize overall interference and/or maximize the overall capacity provided by the links.¶
The following abbreviations are used in this document:¶
CTP Carrier Termination Point¶
RLT Radio Link Terminal¶
RLTP Radio Link Termination Point¶
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in chapter 3.1 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.¶
A microwave radio link is always an aggregate of one or multiple carriers, in various configurations/modes. The supporting carriers are identified by their termination points and are listed in the container bundled-links as part of the te-link-config in the YANG Data Model for Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies [RFC8795] for a radio-link. The exact configuration of the included carriers is further specified in the rlt-mode container (1+0, 2+0, 1+1, etc.) for the radio-link. Appendix A includes JSON examples of how such a relationship can be modelled.¶
A microwave radio link carries a payload of traffic on higher topology layers, normally L2 Ethernet. The leafs supporting-network, supporting-node, supporting-link, and supporting-termination-point in the generic YANG module for Network Topologies [RFC8345] are expected to be used to model a relationship/dependency from higher topology layers to a supporting microwave radio link topology layer. Appendix A includes JSON examples of an L2 Ethernet link transported over one supporting microwave link.¶
Since microwave is a point-to-point radio technology, a majority of the leafs in the Data Model for Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies augmented by the microwave topology model are not applicable. An example of which leafs are considered applicable can be found in appendices Appendix A and Appendix B in this document.¶
More specifically in the context of the microwave-specific augmentations of te-topology, admin-status and oper-status leafs (from te-topology) are only applicable to microwave carriers (in the mw-link tree) and not microwave radio links. Enable and disable of a radio link is instead done in the constituent carriers. Furthermore the status leafs related to mw-tp can be used when links are inter-domain and when the status of only one side of the link is known, but since microwave is a point-to-point technology where both ends normally belong to the same domain it is not expected to be applicable in normal cases.¶
This module imports typedefs and modules from [RFC8345], [RFC8561], and [RFC8795], and it references [EN301129] and [EN302217-1].¶

The YANG module specified in this document defines schemas 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 NETCONF access control model [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 YANG module specified in this document imports and augments the ietf-network and ietf-network-topology models defined in [RFC8345]. The security considerations from [RFC8345] are applicable to the module in this document.¶
There are a several data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes can 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. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:¶
rlt-mode: A malicious client could attempt to modify the mode in which the radio link is configured and thereby change the intended behavior of the link.¶
tx-frequency, rx-frequency and channel-separation: A malicious client could attempt to modify the frequency configuration of a carrier which could modify the intended behavior or make the configuration invalid and thereby stop the operation of it.¶
IANA is asked to assign a new URI from the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688] as follows:¶
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-microwave-topology Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.¶
It is proposed that IANA record the YANG module names in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020] as follows:¶
Name: ietf-microwave-topology Maintained by IANA?: N Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-microwave-topology Prefix: mwt Reference: RFC XXXX¶
This appendix provides some examples and illustrations of how the Microwave Topology Model can be used. The tree illustrates an example of a complete Microwave Topology Model including the relevant data nodes from network-topology and te-topology (base topology models). There are also JSON based instantiations of the Microwave Topology Model for a couple of small network examples.¶
The tree below shows an example of the relevant leafs for a complete Microwave Topology Model including the augmented Network Topology Model defined in [RFC8345] and the Traffic Engineering (TE) Topologies model defined in [RFC8795].¶
The Microwave Topology Model augments the TE Topology Model.¶
A L2 network with a supporting microwave network, showing a 2+0 microwave configuration. The num-bonded-carriers = 2 and the num-protecting-carriers = 0 which means both carriers are active so there is no redundancy but there is more capacity. The JSON encoding of the 2+0 example data follows:¶

A L2 network with a supporting microwave network, showing a 1+1 microwave configuration. The num-bonded-carriers = 1 and the num-protecting-carriers = 1 which means there is a standby carrier protecting the active carrier. The JSON encoding of the 1+1 example data follows:¶

Microwave is a transport technology which can be used to transport client services, such as L2 Ethernet links. When an L2 link is transported over a single supporting microwave radio link, the topologies could be as shown below. Note that the figure just shows an example, there might be other possibilities to demonstrate such a topology. The example of the instantiation encoded in JSON is using only a selected subset of the leafs from the L2 topology model [RFC8944]. The example below uses Figure 3 and adds the Interface related information.¶
A L2 network with a supporting microwave network, including microwave-topology (MW) and bandwidth-availability-topology (BWA) models as well as the reference to the associated interface management information, is encoded in JSON as follows:¶
