Wu, et al. | Expires 16 October 2022 | [Page] |
The data model for network topologies defined in RFC 8345 introduces vertical layering relationships between networks that can be augmented to cover network and service topologies. This document defines a YANG module for performance monitoring (PM) of both networks and VPN services that can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology at higher layer or the service topology between VPN sites.¶

[RFC8969] describes a framework for automating service and network management with YANG models. It defines that the performance measurement telemetry model to be tied with the service, such as Layer 3 VPN and Layer 2 VPN, or network models to monitor the overall network performance or Service Level Agreement (SLA).¶
The performance of VPN services is associated with the performance changes of the underlay network that carries VPN services, such as the delay of the underlay tunnels and the packet loss status of the device interfaces. Additionally, the integration of Layer 2/Layer 3 VPN performance and network performance data enables the orchestrator to subscribe to VPN service performance in a unified manner. Therefore, this document defines a YANG module for both network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM). The module can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology level or the service topology between VPN sites, in particular.¶
This document does not introduce new metrics for network performance or mechanisms for measuring network performance, but uses the existing mechanisms and statistics to display the performance monitoring statistics at the network and service layers. All these metrics are defined as unidirectional metrics.¶
The YANG module defined in this document is designed as an augmentation to the network topology YANG model defined in [RFC8345] and draws on relevant YANG types defined in [RFC6991], [RFC8345], [RFC8532], and [RFC9181].¶
Appendix A provides a set of examples to illustrate the use of the module.¶
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this specification:¶
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950].¶
The tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340].¶
The following acronyms are used in the document:¶
Models are key for automating network management operations. According to [RFC8969], together with service and network models, performance measurement telemetry models are needed to monitor network performance to meet specific service requirements (typically captured in an SLA).¶
As shown in Figure 1, in the context of the layering model architecture described in [RFC8309], the network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM) model can be used to expose a set of performance information to the above layer. Such information can be used by an orchestrator to subscribe to performance data. The network controller will then notify the orchestrator about corresponding parameter changes.¶
Before using the model, the controller needs to establish complete topology visibility of the network and VPN. For example, the controller can use information from [RFC8345], [I-D.ietf-opsawg-sap] or VPN instances. Then the controller derives network or VPN level performance data by aggregating (and filtering) lower-level data collected via monitoring counters of the involved devices.¶
The network or VPN performance data can be based on different sources. For example, the performance monitoring data per link in the underlying network can be collected using a network performance measurement method such as One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) [RFC4656], Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) [RFC5357], and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Loss and Delay Measurement [RFC6374]. The performance monitoring information reflecting the quality of the network or VPN service (e.g., end-to-end network performance data between source node and destination node in the network or between VPN sites) can be computed and aggregated, for example, using the information from the Traffic Engineering Database (TED), [RFC7471] [RFC8570] [RFC8571] or LMAP [RFC8194].¶
The measurement and report intervals that are associated with these performance data usually depend on the configuration of the specific measurement method or collection method or various combinations. This document defines a network-wide measurement interval to align measurement requirements for networks or VPN services.¶
In addition, the amount of performance data collected from the devices can be huge. To avoid receiving a large amount of operational data of VPN instances, VPN interfaces, or tunnels, the network controller can specifically subscribe to metric-specific data using the tagging methods defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-node-tags].¶
Some applications such as service-assurance applications, which must maintain a continuous view of operational data and state, can use the subscription model specified in [RFC8641] to subscribe to the specific network performance data or VPN service performance data they are interested in, at the data source. For example, network or VPN topology updates may be obtained through on-change notifications [RFC8641]. For dynamic-changing PM data, various notifications can be specified to obtain more complete data. A periodic notification [RFC8641] can be specified to obtain real-time performance data, a replay notification defined in [RFC5277] or [RFC8639] can be specified to obtain historical data, or alarm notifications [RFC8632] can be specified to get alarms for the metrics which exceed or fall below the performance threshold.¶
The data source can, then, use the network and VPN service assurance model defined in this document and the YANG Push model [RFC8641] to distribute specific telemetry data to target recipients.¶
To obtain a snapshot of a large amount of performance data from a network topology or VPN network, service-assurance applications may retrieve information using the network and VPN service PM model through a NETCONF [RFC6241] or a RESTCONF [RFC8040] interface. For example, a specified "link-id" of a VPN can be used as a filter in a RESTCONF GET request to retrieve per-link VPN PM data.¶
This document defines the YANG module, "ietf-network-vpn-pm", which is an augmentation to the "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology".¶
The performance monitoring data augments the service topology as shown in Figure 2.¶
[RFC8345] defines a YANG data model for network/service topologies and inventories. The service topology described in [RFC8345] includes the virtual topology for a service layer above Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3). This service topology has the generic topology elements of node, link, and terminating point. One typical example of a service topology is described in Figure 3 of [RFC8345]: two VPN service topologies instantiated over a common L3 topology. Each VPN service topology is mapped onto a subset of nodes from the common L3 topology.¶
Figure 3 illustrates an example of a topology that maps between the VPN service topology and an underlying network:¶
As shown in Figure 3, two VPN services topologies are both built on top of one common underlying physical network:¶
Apart from the association between the VPN topology and the underlay topology, VPN Network PM can also provide the performance status of the underlay network and VPN services. For example, network PM can provide link PM statistics and port statistics. VPN PM can provides statistics on VPN access interfaces, the number of current VRF routes or L2VPN MAC entry of VPN nodes, and performance statistics on the logical point-to-point link between source and destination VPN nodes or between source and destination VPN access interfaces. Figure 4 illustrates an example of VPN PM and the difference between two VPN PM measurement methods. One is the VPN tunnel PM and the other is inter-VPN-access interface PM.¶
For network performance monitoring, the container of "networks" in [RFC8345] does not need to be extended.¶
For VPN service performance monitoring, the container "service-type" is defined to indicate the VPN type, e.g., L3VPN or Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). The values are taken from [RFC9181]. When a network topology instance contains the L3VPN or other L2VPN network type, it represents a VPN instance that can perform performance monitoring.¶
The tree in Figure 5 is a part of ietf-network-vpn-pm tree. It defines the following set of network level attributes:¶
The tree in Figure 6 is the node part of ietf-network-vpn-pm tree.¶
For network performance monitoring, a container of "pm-attributes" is augmented to the list of "node" that are defined in [RFC8345]. The container includes the following attributes:¶
For VPN service performance monitoring, the model defines one attribute:¶
The tree in Figure 7 is the link and termination point (TP) part of ietf-network-vpn-pm tree.¶
The 'links' are classified into two types: topology link defined in [RFC8345] and abstract link of a VPN between PEs.¶
The performance data of a link is a collection of counters that report the performance status.¶
For the data nodes of 'link' depicted in Figure 7, the YANG module defines the following minimal set of link-level performance attributes:¶
For the data nodes of 'termination-point' depicted in Figure 7, the module defines the following minimal set of statistics:¶
The "ietf-network-vpn-pm" module uses types defined in [RFC8345], [RFC6991], [RFC8532], and [RFC9181].¶

The YANG modules defined in this document MAY be accessed via the RESTCONF protocol [RFC8040] or NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest RESTCONF or NETCONF layer requires that the transport-layer protocol provides both data integrity and confidentiality, see Section 2 in [RFC8040] and [RFC6241]. 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.¶
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 with the write operation that can be exploited to impact the network monitoring:¶
Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The nodes reveals the quality of a service that is operated by an operator. 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:¶
