The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) is used to measure network performance parameters such as latency, bandwidth, and packet loss by sending probe packets and measuring their experience in the network. To date, TWAMP implementations do not come with a standard management framework, and, as such, implementers have no choice except to provide a proprietary mechanism. This document addresses this gap by defining the model using UML class diagrams, and formally specifying a NMDA-complaint TWAMP data model using YANG 1.1.
In current TWAMP deployments the lack of a standardized data model limits the flexibility to dynamically instantiate TWAMP-based measurements across equipment from different vendors. In large, virtualized, and dynamically instantiated infrastructures where network functions are placed according to orchestration algorithms, proprietary mechanisms for managing TWAMP measurements pose severe limitations with respect to programmability.
Two major trends call for standardizing TWAMP management aspects. First, it is expected that in the coming years large-scale and multi-vendor TWAMP deployments will become the norm. From an operations perspective, using several vendor-specific TWAMP configuration mechanisms when one standard mechanism could provide an alternative is expensive and inefficient. Second, the increasingly software-defined and virtualized nature of network infrastructures, based on dynamic service chains [NSC] and programmable control and management planes Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Layers and Architecture Terminology requires a well-defined data model for TWAMP implementations. This document defines such a TWAMP data model and specifies it formally using the YANG 1.1 data modeling language.
Note to RFC Editor:
Please replace the date 2018-07-02 in Section 5.2 of the draft with the date of publication of this draft as a RFC. Also, replace reference to RFC XXXX, and draft-ietf-ippm-port-twamp-test with the RFC numbers assigned to the drafts.
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 [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.
The rest of this document is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the scope and applicability of this document. Section 3 provides a high-level overview of the TWAMP data model. Section 4 details the configuration parameters of the data model and Section 5 specifies in YANG the TWAMP data model. Section 6 lists illustrative examples which conform to the YANG data model specified in this document. Appendix A elaborates these examples further.
The purpose of this document is the specification of a vendor-independent data model for TWAMP implementations.
Figure 1 illustrates a redrawn version of the TWAMP logical model found in Section 1.2 of TWAMP. The figure is annotated with pointers to the UML diagrams provided in this document and associated with the data model of the four logical entities in a TWAMP deployment, namely the TWAMP Control-Client, Server, Session-Sender and Session-Reflector. A UML Notation Guide is available in Section 5 of the said document.
As per TWAMP, unlabeled links in Figure 1 are left unspecified and may be proprietary protocols.

Figure 1: Annotated TWAMP logical model
As per TWAMP, a TWAMP implementation may follow a simplified logical model, in which the same node acts both as Control-Client and Session-Sender, while another node acts at the same time as TWAMP Server and Session-Reflector. Figure 2 illustrates this simplified logical model and indicates the interaction between the TWAMP configuration client and server using, for instance, NETCONF or RESTCONF.

Figure 2: Simplified TWAMP model and protocols
The data model defined in this document is orthogonal to the specific protocol used between the Config client and Config server to communicate the TWAMP configuration parameters.
Operational actions such as how TWAMP-Test sessions are started and stopped, how performance measurement results are retrieved, or how stored results are cleared, and so on, are not addressed by the configuration model defined in this document. As noted above, such operational actions are not part of the TWAMP specification TWAMP and hence are out of scope of this document. See also Appendix B. In addition, for operational state, current work in Registry for Performance Metrics, can be used to develop an independent model for the performance metrics that need to be captured and retrieved.
The TWAMP data model includes four categories of configuration items.
First, global configuration items relate to parameters that are set on a per device level. For example, the administrative status of the device with respect to whether it allows TWAMP sessions and, if so, in what capacity (e.g. Control-Client, Server or both), is a typical instance of a global configuration item.
A second category includes attributes that can be configured on a per TWAMP-Control connection basis, such as the Server IP address.
A third category includes attributes related to per TWAMP-Test session attributes, for instance setting different values in the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field.
Finally, the data model includes attributes that relate to the operational state of the TWAMP implementation.
As the TWAMP data model is described in the remaining sections of this document, readers should keep in mind the functional entity grouping illustrated in Figure 1.
A TWAMP Control-Client has an administrative status field set at the device level that indicates whether the node is enabled to function as such.
Each TWAMP Control-Client is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Control connections. The main configuration parameters of each control connection are:
Each TWAMP-Control connection, in turn, is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Test sessions. For each test session, the following configuration items should be noted:
Each TWAMP Server has an administrative status field set at the device level to indicate whether the node is enabled to function as a TWAMP Server.
Each Server is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Control connections. Each control connection is uniquely identified by the 4-tuple {Control-Client IP address, Control-Client TCP port number, Server IP address, Server TCP port}. Control connection configuration items on a TWAMP Server are read-only.
A TWAMP Session-Sender has an administrative status field set at the device level that indicates whether the node is enabled to function as such.
There is one Session-Sender instance for each TWAMP-Test session that is initiated from the sending device. Primary configuration fields include:
Each TWAMP Session-Reflector has an administrative status field set at the device level to indicate whether the node is enabled to function as such.
Each Session-Reflector is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Test sessions. For each test session, the REFWAIT timeout parameter, which determines whether to discontinue the session if no packets have been received (TWAMP, Section 4.2), can be configured.
Read-only access to other data model parameters, such as the Sender IP address, is foreseen. Each test session can be uniquely identified by the 4-tuple mentioned in Section 3.2.
This section defines the TWAMP data model using UML and introduces selected parameters associated with the four TWAMP logical entities. The complete TWAMP data model specification is provided in the YANG module presented in Section 5.2.
The client container (see Figure 3) holds items that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Control-Client logical entity (recall Figure 1).
The client container includes an administrative configuration parameter (client/admin-state) that indicates whether the device is allowed to initiate TWAMP-Control connections.

Figure 3: TWAMP Control-Client UML class diagram
The client container holds a list (mode-preference-chain) which specifies the Mode values according to their preferred order of use by the operator of this Control-Client, including the authentication and encryption Modes. Specifically, mode-preference-chain lists the mode and its corresponding priority, as a 16-bit unsigned integer. Values for the priority start with zero, the highest priority, and decreasing priority value is indicated by every increase in value by one.
Depending on the Modes available in the Server Greeting, the Control-Client MUST choose the highest priority Mode from the configured mode-preference-chain list.
Note that the list of preferred Modes may set multiple bit positions independently, such as when referring to the extended TWAMP features in Mixed Security Mode for TWAMP, Individual Session Control Feature for TWAMP, TWAMP Reflect Octets and Symmetrical Size Features, and IKEv2-Derived Shared Secret Key for OWAMP and TWAMP. If the Control-Client cannot determine an acceptable Mode, or when the bit combinations do not make sense, e.g., both authenticated and unauthenticated bit are set, it MUST respond with zero Mode bits set in the Set-up Response message, indicating it will not continue with the control connection.
In addition, the client container holds a list named key-chain which relates key-id with the respective secret-key. Both the Server and the Control-Client use the same mappings from key-id to secret-key (in Figure 3); in order for this to work properly, key-id must be unique across all systems in the administrative domain. The Server, being prepared to conduct sessions with more than one Control-Client, uses key-id to choose the appropriate secret-key; a Control-Client would typically have different secret keys for different Servers. The secret-key is the shared secret, of type binary and the length SHOULD contain at least 128 bits of entropy. The key-id and secret-key encoding SHOULD follow Section 9.8 of YANG. The derived key length (dkLen in PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Specification Version 2.1) MUST be 16 octets for the AES Session-key used for encryption and 32 octets for the HMAC-SHA1 Session-key used for authentication; see also Section 6.10 of OWAMP.
Each client container also holds a list of control connections, where each item in the list describes a TWAMP control connection initiated by this Control-Client. There SHALL be one ctrl-connection per TWAMP-Control (TCP) connection that is to be initiated from this device.
In turn, each ctrl-connection holds a test-session-request list. Each test-session-request holds information associated with the Control-Client for this test session. This includes information associated with the Request-TW-Session/Accept-Session message exchange (see Section 3.5 of TWAMP).
There SHALL be one instance of test-session-request for each TWAMP-Test session that is to be negotiated by this TWAMP-Control connection via a Request-TW-Session/Accept-Session exchange.
The Control-Client is also responsible for scheduling TWAMP-Test sessions, therefore test-session-request holds information related to these actions (e.g. pm-index, repeat-interval).
The server container (see Figure 4) holds items that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Server logical entity (recall Figure 1).
The server container includes an administrative configuration parameter (server/admin-state) that indicates whether the device is allowed to receive TWAMP-Control connections.
A device operating in the Server role cannot configure attributes on a per TWAMP-Control connection basis, as it has no foreknowledge of the incoming TWAMP-Control connections to be received. Consequently, any parameter that the Server might want to apply to an incoming control connection must be configured at the overall Server level and applied to all incoming TWAMP-Control connections.

Figure 4: TWAMP Server UML class diagram
Each server container holds a list named key-chain which relates key-id with the respective secret-key. As mentioned in Section 4.1, both the Server and the Control-Client use the same mapping from key-id to shared secret-key; in order for this to work properly, key-id must be unique across all the systems in the administrative domain. The Server, being prepared to conduct sessions with more than one Control-Client, uses key-id to choose the appropriate secret-key; a Control-Client would typically have different secret keys for different Servers. The key-id tells the Server which shared secret-key the Control-Client wishes to use for authentication or encryption.
Each incoming control connection active on the Server is represented by a ctrl-connection. There SHALL be one ctrl-connection per incoming TWAMP-Control (TCP) connection that is received and active on the Server. Each ctrl-connection can be uniquely identified by the 4-tuple {client-ip, client-tcp-port, server-ip, server-tcp-port}. All items in the ctrl-connection list are read-only.
The session-sender container, illustrated in Figure 5, holds items that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Session-Sender logical entity.
The session-sender container includes an administrative parameter (session-sender/admin-state) that controls whether the device is allowed to initiate TWAMP-Test sessions.

Figure 5: TWAMP Session-Sender UML class diagram
Each TWAMP-Test session initiated by the Session-Sender will be represented by an instance of a test-session object. There SHALL be one instance of test-session for each TWAMP-Test session for which packets are being sent.
The session-reflector container, illustrated in Figure 6, holds items that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Session-Reflector logical entity.
The session-reflector container includes an administrative parameter (session-reflector/admin-state) that controls whether the device is allowed to respond to incoming TWAMP-Test sessions.
A device operating in the Session-Reflector role cannot configure attributes on a per-session basis, as it has no foreknowledge of what incoming sessions it will receive. As such, any parameter that the Session-Reflector might want to apply to an incoming TWAMP-Test session must be configured at the overall Session-Reflector level and are applied to all incoming sessions.

Figure 6: TWAMP Session-Reflector UML class diagram
Each incoming TWAMP-Test session that is active on the Session-Reflector SHALL be represented by an instance of a test-session object. All items in the test-session object are read-only.
Instances of test-session are indexed by a session identifier (sid). This value is auto-allocated by the TWAMP Server as test session requests are received, and communicated back to the Control-Client in the SID field of the Accept-Session message; see Section 4.3 of TWAMP Reflect Octets and Symmetrical Size Features.
When attempting to retrieve operational data for active test sessions from a Session-Reflector device, the user will not know what sessions are currently active on that device, or what SIDs have been auto-allocated for these test sessions. If the user has network access to the Control-Client device, then it is possible to read the data for this session under client/ctrl-connection/test-session-request/sid and obtain the SID (see Figure 3). The user may then use this SID value as an index to retrieve an individual session-reflector/test-session instance on the Session-Reflector device.
If the user has no network access to the Control-Client device, then the only option is to retrieve all test-session instances from the Session-Reflector device, and then pick out specific test-session instances of interest to the user. This could be problematic if a large number of test sessions are currently active on that device.
Each Session-Reflector TWAMP-Test session contains the following 4-tuple: {parent-connection-client-ip, parent-connection-client-tcp-port, parent-connection-server-ip, parent-connection-server-tcp-port}. This 4-tuple MUST correspond to the equivalent 4-tuple {client-ip, client-tcp-port, server-ip, server-tcp-port} in server/ctrl-connection. This 4-tuple allows the user to trace back from the TWAMP-Test session to the (parent) TWAMP-Control connection that negotiated this test session.
This section formally specifies the TWAMP data model using YANG.
This section presents a simplified graphical representation of the TWAMP data model using a YANG tree diagram. Readers should keep in mind that the limit of 72 characters per line forces us to introduce artificial line breaks in some tree diagram nodes. Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in YANG Tree Diagrams.

<CODE ENDS>
This section presents a simple but complete example of configuring all four entities in Figure 1, based on the YANG module specified in Section 5. The example is illustrative in nature, but aims to be self-contained, i.e. were it to be executed in a real TWAMP implementation it would lead to a correctly configured test session. For completeness, examples are provided for both IPv4 and IPv6.
A more elaborated example, which also includes authentication parameters, is provided in Appendix A.
Figure 8 shows a configuration example for a Control-Client with client/admin-state enabled. In a real implementation following Figure 2 this would permit the initiation of TWAMP-Control connections and TWAMP-Test sessions.

Figure 8: XML instance enabling Control-Client operation.
The following example shows a Control-Client with two instances of client/ctrl-connection, one called "RouterA" and another called "RouterB". Each TWAMP-Control connection is to a different Server. The control connection named "RouterA" has two test session requests. The TWAMP-Control connection named "RouterB" has no TWAMP-Test session requests.

Virtually all existing measurement systems using TWAMP are administered by the same network operator. Attacks on the measurement infrastructure could be launched by third-parties to commandeer the packet generation capability, corrupt the measurements, or other examples of nefarious acts.
The YANG module specified in Section 5 of this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF or RESTCONF. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH). The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS.
The NETCONF Access Control Module (NACM) 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 nodes defined in this YANG module which are writeable. These data nodes may be considered sensitive and vulnerable to attacks in some network environments. Ability to write into these nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on the devices that support this feature.
If written, the 'admin-state' node can cause unintended test sessions to be created. If the node 'number-of-packets' that dictates how many packets are sent in any particular test session is written with a large value, it can cause a test session to run longer than expected. Nodes that are particularly vulnerable include several timeout values put in the protocol to protect against sessions that are not active but are consuming resources. These are the REFWAIT timeout parameter which determine whether to discontinue the session if no packets are received, and nodes 'count' and 'max-count-exponent’ which can cause a long time to be spent on PBKDF2 iterations. In addition, 'dscp’ node marked with different DSCP markings, can cause the test traffic on the network to be skewed, and the result manipulated. Finally, nodes within 'mode-preference-chain' which specify the 'mode' and 'priority' values and indicate the preferred order of use by an operator, can be manipulated to send unauthenticated or non-encrypted traffic, enabling a MITM attack. Limiting access to these nodes will limit the ability to launch an attack in network environments.
The ‘token’ node defined in the model, containing a concatenation of a Challenge, AES Session-key used for encryption, and HMAC-SHA1 Session-key used for authentication, is sensitive from a privacy perspective, and can be used to disrupt a test session. The ability to read the field should be limited to the administrator of the test network.

TWAMP operational commands could be performed programmatically or manually, e.g. using a command-line interface (CLI).
With respect to programmability, YANG can be used to define NETCONF Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), therefore it would be, in principle, possible to define TWAMP RPC operations for actions such as starting or stopping control connections or test sessions or groups of sessions; retrieving results; clearing stored results, and so on.
However, TWAMP does not attempt to describe such operational actions. Refer also to Section 2 and the unlabeled links in Figure 1. In actual deployments different TWAMP implementations may support different sets of operational commands, with different restrictions. Therefore, this document considers it the responsibility of the individual implementation to define its corresponding TWAMP operational commands data model.
