A YANG Data Model for Keyed IPv6 Tunnels
draft-ietf-l2tpext-keyed-v6-tunnel-yang-00

Abstract

This document defines a YANG data model for the configuration and management of Keyed IPv6 tunnels. The data model includes configuration data and state data. Due to the stateless nature of keyed IPv6 tunnels, a model for NETCONF notifications is not necessary.

Requirements Language

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].

1. Introduction

Keyed IPv6 Tunnels [I-D.ietf-l2tpext-keyed-ipv6-tunnel] defines a mechanism for transporting L2 Ethernet frames over IPv6 using L2TPv3 tunnel encapsulation with a mandatory 64-bit cookie. This is used for connecting L2 Ethernet circuits identified by their IPv6 addresses. It is a static L2 tunnelling mechanism that leverages the key property that IPv6 offers: a vast number of unique IP addresses, to identify a tunnel. This differs from differentiating tunnels based on Session ID as defined in [RFC3931]. The layer 2 circuit is mapped to an IPv6 address on the network side so typically, there is a "one session per tunnel" pattern.

Since the control plane of L2TPv3 is not used by Keyed IPv6 tunnels, the parameters for running Keyed IPv6 tunnel need to be pre-configured. NETCONF [RFC6241]/YANG [RFC6020] provide mechanisms for such configuration. This document defines a YANG data model for the configuration and management of Keyed IPv6 Tunnels.

1.1.4. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is provided in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows:

2. YANG Model Overview

The YANG model includes two modules, one for configuration and one for state. To correctly identify a tunnel and create the mapping between the L2 circuit and the IPv6 address, the tuple of source interface, local IPv6 address and remote IPv6 address MUST be unique. Because Session ID is not mandatory for a Keyed IPv6 tunnel to function, Session ID related parameters are optional in the model. Cookies MUST be 64-bit long according to the Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-l2tpext-keyed-ipv6-tunnel]. The requirement for 64-bit cookie constrains interoperability with existing RFC3931 implementations to those configured with a 64-bit cookie.

The data model also includes read-only counters so that statistics for sent and received octets and packets, received packets with errors, and packets that could not be sent due to errors can be read.

This model defines three features for OAM parameters. Those features enable devices to perform related OAM operations on the tunnel if related functions are supported.

Figure 1: Keyed IPv6 Tunnel Tree

The data model defines a configuration container and a state container.

In the configuration container, "srcInterface" is used to identify a L2 circuit endpoint. "localIPv6" and "remoteIPv6" respectively represent the local (source) and remote (destination) IPv6 addresses for the tunnel. The srcInterface and localIPv6 both uniquely identify a tunnel endpoint. If a virtual interface is used, the localIPv6 and remoteIPv6 as a pair MUST also be unique. "localCookie" is a list and has two cookies: one is the newly configured cookie, and the other is previously configured. This is used for the purpose of correctly receiving packets while changing cookies.

Features are defined for FCS-Retention, VCCV, BFD, VCCV-BFD and fragmentation, so that devices supporting those features (or some of which) can enable related functions.

5. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory to implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module which 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:
