I2NSF Registration Interface Data Model
draft-ietf-i2nsf-registration-interface-dm-00
This document defines an information model and a YANG data model for Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) Registration Interface between Security Controller and Developer's Management System (DMS). The objective of these information and data models is to support NSF search, instantiation and registration according to required security capabilities via I2NSF Registration Interface.

A number of virtual network security function instances typically exist in Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) framework [RFC8329]. Since these NSF instances may have different security capabilities, it is important to register the security capabilities of each NSF instance into the security controller after they have been created. In addition, it is required to search or instantiate NSFs of some required security capabilities on demand. As an example, if additional security capabilities are required to meet the new security requirements that an I2NSF user requests, the security controller should be able to request the DMS for NSFs that have the required security capabilities.
This document describes an information model (see Section 5) and a YANG [RFC6020] data model (see Section 6) for the I2NSF Registration Interface [RFC8329] between the security controller and the developer's management system (DMS) to support NSF search, instantiation and registration according to required security capabilities. It also describes the procedure which should be performed by the security controller and the DMS via the Registration Interface using the defined model.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This document uses the following terms defined in [i2nsf-terminology], [capability-im], [RFC8329], [nsf-triggered-steering], [supa-policy-data-model], and [supa-policy-info-model]
The I2NSF registration interface was only used for registering new NSF instances to Security Controller. In this document, however, we extend its utilization to support on demand NSF instantiation/de-instantiation and describe the information that should be exchanged via the registration interface for the functionality. Moreover, we also define the information model of NSF Profile because, for registration interface, NSF Profile (i.e., capabilities of an NSF) needs to be clarified so that the components of I2NSF framework can exchange the set of capabilities in a standardized manner. This is typically done through the following process:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: Registration Interface Information Model
As illustrated in Figure 1, the information model for Registration Interface consists of two sub-models: instance management, registration sub-models. The instance management functionality and the registration functionality use NSF Profile to achieve their goals. In this context, NSF Profile is the capability objects that describe and/or prescribe inspection capability an NSF instance can provide.
For the instance management of NSFs, Security Controller in I2NSF framework requires two types of requests: Instantiation Request and Deinstantiation Request. Security Controller sends the request messages to DMS when required. Once receiving the request, DMS conducts creating/eliminating the corresponding NSF instance and responds Security Controller with the results.

Figure 2: Overview of Instance Management Sub-Model
In order to register a new NSF instance, DMS should generate a Registration Message to Security Controller. A Registration Message consists of an NSF Profile and an NSF Access Information. The former describes the inspection capability of the new NSF instance and the latter is for enabling network access to the new instance from other components. After this registration process, as explained in [capability-im], the I2NSF capability interface can conduct controlling and monitoring the new registered NSF instance.

Figure 3: Registration Mechanism Sub-Model Overview
NSF Access Information contains the followings that are required to communicate with an NSF: IPv4 address, IPv6 address, port number, and supported transport protocol(s) (e.g., Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) [RFC 7348], Generic Protocol Extension for VXLAN (VXLAN-GPE) [draft-ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe], Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE), Ethernet etc.). In this document, NSF Access Information is used to identify a specific NSF instance (i.e. NSF Access Information is the signature(unique identifier) of an NSF instance in the overall system).
NSF Profile basically describes the inspection capabilities of an NSF instance. In Figure 4, we show capability objects of an NSF instance. Following the information model of NSF capabilities defiend in [capability-im], we share the same security capabilities: Network-Security Capabilities, Content-Security Capabilities, and Attack Mitigation Capabilities. Also, NSF Profile additionally contains the performance capabilities and role-Based access control list (ACL) as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: NSF Profile Overview
This information represents the processing capability of an NSF. This information can be used to determine whether the NSF is in congestion by comparing this with the workload that the NSF currently undergoes. Moreover, this information can specify an available amount of each type of resources such as processing power which are available on the NSF. (The registration interface can control the usages and limitations of the created instance and make the appropriate request according to the status.) As illustrated in Figure 5, this information consists of two items: Processing and Bandwidth. Processing information describes the NSF's available processing power. Bandwidth describes the information about available network amount in two cases, outbound, inbound. This two information can be used for the NSF's instance request.

Figure 5: Performance Capability Overview
This information specifies access policies of an NSF to determine whether to permit or deny the access of an entity to the NSF based on the role given to the entity. Each NSF is associated with a role-based access control list (ACL) so that it can determine whether to permit or deny the access request from an entity. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the structure of the role-based ACL, which is composed of role-id, access-type, and permit/deny. The role-id identifies roles of entities (e.g., administrator, developer etc.). The access-type identifies the specific type of access requests such as NSF rule configuration/update and NSF monitoring. Consequently, the role-based ACL in Figure 6 and Figure 7 specifies a set of access-types to be permitted and to be denied by each role-id.

This section provides an overview of the high level YANG.
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this section. The meaning of the symbols used in the following diagrams [i2rs-rib-data-model] is as follows:
module : ietf-i2nsf-regs-interface-model
+--rw regs-req
| uses i2nsf-regs-req
+--rw instance-mgnt-req
| uses i2nsf-instance-mgnt-req
Figure 8: High-Level YANG of I2NSF Registration Interface
Each of these sections mirror sections of Section 5.
This section expands the i2nsf-regs-req in Figure 8.

+--rw nsf-capability-information
| uses i2nsf-nsf-capability-information
+--rw nsf-access-info

Figure 9: High-Level YANG of I2NSF Registration Request
Registration Request contains the capability information of newly created NSF to notify its capability to Security Controller. The request also contains Network Access Information so that the Security Controller can access the NSF.
This section expands the i2nsf-instance-mgnt-req in Figure 8.
Instance Management Request
+--rw i2nsf-instance-mgnt-req
+--rw req-level uint16
+--rw req-id uint64
+--rw (req-type)?

+--rw (updating-request)
+--rw update-nsf-capability-information
| uses i2nsf-nsf-capability-information
Figure 10: High-Level YANG of I2NSF Instance Mgnt Request
Instance management request consists of two types: instanciation-request, deinstanciation-request, and updating-request. The instanciation-request is used to request generation of a new NSF instance with NSF Capability Information which specifies required NSF capability information. The deinstanciation-request is used to remove an existing NSF with NSF Access Information. The updating nsf request is used to updating a existing NSf information with NSF capabilities.
This section expands the i2nsf-nsf-capability-information in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
NSF Capability Information
+--rw i2nsf-nsf-capability-information
+--rw i2nsf-capability
| uses ietf-i2nsf-capability
+--rw performance-capability
| uses i2nsf-nsf-performance-caps
Figure 11: High-Level YANG of I2NSF NSF Capability Information
In Figure 11, ietf-i2nsf-capability refers module ietf-i2nsf-capability in [i2nsf-capability-dm]. We add the performance capability because it is absent in [i2nsf-capability-dm] and [netmod-acl-model]
This section expands the i2nsf-nsf-access-info in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
NSF Access Information
+--rw i2nsf-nsf-access-info
+--rw nsf-address inet:ipv4-address
+--rw nsf-port-address inet:port-number
Figure 12: High-Level YANG of I2NSF NSF Access Informantion
This information is used by other components to access an NSF.
This section expands the i2nsf-nsf-performance-caps in Figure 11.
NSF Performance Capability
+--rw i2nsf-nsf-performance-caps
+--rw processing
| +--rw processing-average uint16
| +--rw processing-peak uint16
+--rw bandwidth
| +--rw outbound
| | +--rw outbound-average uint16
| | +--rw outbound-peak uint16
| +--rw inbound
| | +--rw inbound-average uint16
| | +--rw inbound-peak uint16
Figure 13: High-Level YANG of I2NSF NSF Performance Capability
When the Security Controller requests the Developer Management System to create a new NSF instance, the performance capability is used to specify the performance requirements of the new instance.
This section expands the ietf-netmod-acl-model in [netmod-acl-model].
Role-Based ACL
+--rw role-based-acl
uses ietf-netmod-acl-model
Figure 14: Role-Based ACL
In [netmod-acl-model], ietf-netmod-acl-model refers module ietf-netmod-acl-model in [netmod-acl-model]. We add the role-based ACL because it is absent in [i2nsf-capability-dm].
This section introduces a YANG module for the information model of the required data for the registration interface between Security Controller and Developer's Management System, as defined in Section 5.
