North-Bound Distribution of Link-State (LS) and Traffic Engineering (TE) Information Using BGP [RFC7752] describes a mechanism by which LS and TE information can be collected and shared with external components using BGP routing protocol. That LS combined with Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm can be used by BGP for making routing decisions. Additionally, BGP Link-State Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing [I-D.ietf-lsvr-bgp-spf] describes how it allows BGP to be used efficiently as both the underlay and the overlay protocol in Many Massively Scaled Data Centers (MSDC). This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] model that can be used to configure a router of that capability. It also defines a model for Link State DataBase (LSDB) that is used to store Link State Advertisements (LSA).¶
The model conforms to the NMDA [RFC8342] architecture.¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
This document references terms defined in other documents.¶
This document uses a few acronyms. Some of them are defined here for reference.¶
Acronym | Definition |
---|---|
AFI | Address Family Indicator |
LS | Link-State |
LSA | Link-State Advertisements |
LSDB | Link-State DataBase |
SAFI | Subsequent Address Family Indicator |
SPF | Shortest Path First |
TE | Traffic Engineering |
An abridged version of the tree diagram is shown here. Annotations used in the diagram are defined in YANG Tree Diagrams [RFC8340].¶
The YANG model augments the BGP model in BGP Model for Service Provider Network [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-model] to add extensions to BGP configuration. These extensions include the addition of three new Address Family Indicator (AFI) and Subsequent Address Family Indicator (SAFI) - BGP-LS, BGP-LS-VPN, and BGP-LS-SPF.¶
The BGP model is augmented both at a global level to add statistics related to LS, and at a neighbor level to add support for the three new AFI/SAFI.¶
The model imports Common YANG Data Types [RFC6991], A YANG Data Model for Routing Management(NMDA Version) [RFC8349], and BGP Model for Service Provider Network [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-model].¶
The model imports Common YANG Data Types [RFC6991]¶
This memo registers the following namespace URIs in the IETF XML in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:¶
This document registers the following YANG modules in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]:¶
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. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:¶
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:¶
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:¶
Here is a complete tree diagram for the configuration and operational part of the model.¶
