RFC9363 defines a YANG Data Model for SCHC rules. [I-D.ietf-core-sid] specifies the process for SID allocation and management. This document discuss of the SID allocation for RFC9363.¶
The version @2023-01-18 of the SCHC YANG Data Model published in the RFC 9363 contains 136 SIDs (92 for identities, 2 for features and 42 for data). [I-D.ietf-core-sid] indicates that the SID range for the YANG Data Model specified in RFC is between 1000 and 59 000 and that the maximum request pool SHOULD NOT exceed 1000. The draft also gives some pre allocated values.¶
Since SIDs will be used either to represent unique identity contained in the data model and also leaves (data) forming this data model, it could be wise to distinguish between identifiers and data.¶
Data structures are delta encoded and included as a CBOR element, the size depends on the value. Deltas between -24 and +23 are encoded on a single byte. Deltas between -256 and +255 use 2 bytes and larger values corresponding to the RFC SID range will be encoded into 3 bytes. To optimize the CORECONF representation delta should be smaller as possible for the more frequent leaves.¶
On the other hand identities are included in the CORECONF representation and for the RFC SID range the size is constant and equal to 3 bytes.¶
CORECONF {5095: {1: [{4: [{1: 5015, 5: 5018, 6: 5068, 7: 4, 8: 1, 9: 5083, 13: [{1: 0, 2: h'06'}]}, {1: 5015, 5: 5018, 6: 2000003, 7: 8, 8: 1, 9: 5083, 13: [{1: 0, 2: h'00'}]}] }]} } RESTCONF {"ietf-schc:schc": {"rule": [{"entry": [{"comp-decomp-action": "ietf-schc:cda-not-sent", "direction-indicator": "ietf-schc:di-bidirectional", "field-id": "ietf-schc:fid-ipv6-version", "field-length": 4, "field-position": 1, "matching-operator": "ietf-schc:mo-equal", "target-value": [{"index": 0, "value": "Bg=="}]}, {"comp-decomp-action": "ietf-schc:cda-not-sent", "direction-indicator": "ietf-schc:di-bidirectional", "field-id": "ietf-schc-oam:fid-icmpv6-type", "field-length": 8, "field-position": 1, "matching-operator": "ietf-schc:mo-equal", "target-value": [{"index": 0, "value": "gA=="}]} ] }]} }
The example in Figure 1 gives a CORECONF structure transposed the CBOR diagnostic notation and its equivalent in RESTCONF with JSON. For readability and compactness, this example is edited and do not encode a full rule as defined in RFC9363.¶
The default SID numbering produced by pyang is used, starting from 5000 for SCHC Data Model defined in RFC9363 and 2000000 for an experimental module for OAM.¶
We can see the delta encoding. The first SID 5095 represents "ietf-schc:schc". "/ietf-schc:schc/rule" which is coded with a +1 since SID 5096 has been assigned. "/ietf-schc:schc/rule/entry" is coded with a delta of 4. Then a list of Field Description follows. +1 represents the leaf "ietf-schc:schc/rule/entry/comp-decomp-action" and the value assigned to that key contains the SID of "ietf-schc:cda-not-sent" identity.¶
Note that the second element contains a "field-id" belonging to the "ietf-schc-oam" module and the associate SID is 2000003.¶
The SCHC YANG Data Model defined in RFC 9363 will probably be augmented, to include for instance access control data. To keep a compact representation, delta values must be kept as small as possible. The LPWAN working group should not use the automatic SID numbering and provide a more optimal allocation scheme for augmentation of the SCHC YANG Data Model.¶
A first recommendation is to avoid merging data and identity in order to limit the delta encoding. The distance between these two sections can be 255 SID to allow deltas on 2 bytes.¶
The second recommendation is to leave some unused SID around SCHC rules to allow augmentation.¶
We propose to use a range of 300 values for the YANG Data Model defined in RFC9263, which introduce room for future augmentation of the Data Model, such as [I-D.toutain-lpwan-access-control] or [I-D.ietf-lpwan-schc-compound-ack]. This will break the automatic allocation process done by pyang and based on the nature of the SID and the alphabetical order.¶
It is also worth noting that in the current SID allocation based on alphabetical order places rule-id-value and rule-id-length, rule-nature from the 33 to 35 position. CBOR encoding will be on two bytes for each of the values. Since these three values are present in all the rules, a smaller value will optimize the CORECONF representation.¶
The allocation algorithm is the following:¶
The LPWAN group will receive an range of SID values (we suppose starting at 5000). The SIDs will be allocated following the previous algorithm.¶
Other RFCs modifying the SCHC YANG Data Model will include a YANG module. The lpwan WG will decide of the SID allocation and produce a SID file with the mapping.¶
We propose the following allocation scheme for RFC9363:¶

For instance [I-D.toutain-lpwan-access-control] augments the model with "ac-modify-set-of-rules" at the top level, "ac-modify-compression-rule" for each compression rule, "ac-modify-field" in each Field Description of a compression rule and finally "ac-modify-timers" in fragmentation rules. Delta representation will be on 1 byte.¶
The following SIDs could be assigned:¶
[I-D.ietf-lpwan-schc-compound-ack] augments the model for fragmentation, with 3 identity and two leaves. identities can get a SID 5394 to 5396 and the two SIDs for the leaves can be 5120 and 5122. There delta representations will be coded on 2 bytes.¶
