YANG Data Model for L3VPN service delivery
draft-ietf-l3sm-l3vpn-service-model-06
This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to deliver a Layer 3 Provider Provisioned VPN service. The document is limited to the BGP PE-based VPNs as described in RFC4110 and RFC4364. This model is intended to be instantiated at management system to deliver the overall service. This model is not a configuration model to be used directly on network elements. This model provides an abstracted view of the Layer 3 IPVPN service configuration components. It will be up to a management system to take this as an input and use specific configurations models to configure the different network elements to deliver the service. How configuration of network elements is done is out of scope of the document.
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 defines a YANG data model for Layer 3 IPVPN service configuration.
The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined here:
The following terms are defined in [RFC6020] and are not redefined here:
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC6020].
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is presented in Section 5.
The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows:
Customer Edge (CE) Device: The equipment on the customer site of the SP-customer location boundary. The CE may be located in customer premise. The CE is connected to one or more PEs. The CE is dedicated to a particular customer.
Provider Edge (PE) Device: The equipment on the SP side of the SP-customer location boundary. The PE is located in SP premise. The PE connects CEs. The PE is shared between multiple customers.
PE-Based VPNs: The PE devices know that certain traffic is VPN traffic. They forward the traffic (through tunnels) based on the destination IP address of the packet, and optionally on based on other information in the IP header of the packet. The PE devices are themselves the tunnel endpoints. The tunnels may make use of various encapsulations to send traffic over the SP network (such as, but not restricted to, GRE, IP-in-IP, IPsec, or MPLS tunnels).
A Layer 3 IPVPN service is a collection of sites that are authorized to exchange traffic between each other over a shared IP infrastructure. This layer 3 VPN service model aims at providing a common understanding on how the corresponding IP VPN service is to be deployed over the shared infrastructure. This service model is limited to BGP PE-Based VPNs as described in [RFC4110] and [RFC4364].

The idea of the L3 IPVPN service model is to propose an abstracted interface to manage configuration of components of a L3VPN service. A typical usage is to use this model as an input for an orchestration layer who will be responsible to translate it to orchestrated configuration of network elements who will be part of the service. The network elements can be routers, but also servers (like AAA), and not limited to these examples. The configuration of network elements MAY be done by CLI, or by NetConf/RestConf coupled with specific configuration YANG data models (BGP, VRF, BFD ...) or any other way.
The usage of this service model is not limited to this example, it can be used by any component of the management system but not directly by network elements.
The YANG module is divided in three main containers : vpn-services, sites, site-templates.
The vpn-svc under vpn-services defines global parameters for the VPN service for a specific customer.
A site is composed of at least one site-network-access and may have multiple site-network-access in case of multihoming. The site-network-access attachment is done through a bearer with a connection (transport protocol) on top. The bearer refers to physical properties of the attachment while the connection refers to more protocol oriented properties.
Authorization of traffic exchange is done through what we call a VPN policy or VPN topology defining routing exchange rules between sites.
The site-templates may be used as configuration templates for sites. Part of the site configuration can be inherited from templates.

The vpn-svc container contains generic information about the VPN service. The vpn-id of the vpn-svc refers to an internal reference for this VPN service, while customer name refers to a more explicit reference to the customer. This identifier is purely internal to the organization responsible for the VPN service. The vpn-id MUST be unique.
The type of topology of the VPN is required for configuration. Current proposal supports : any-to-any, hub and spoke (where hubs can exchange traffic), and hub and spoke disjoint (where hubs cannot exchange traffic). New topologies could be added by augmentation. By default, any-to-any topology is used.
Layer 3 PE-based VPN is built using route-targets as described in [RFC4364]. It is expected management system to allocate automatically set of route-targets upon a VPN service creation request. How management system allocates route-targets is out of scope of the document but multiple ways could be envisaged as described below.
Management system <-------------------------------------------------> Request RT +-----------------------+ Topo a2a +----------+ RestConf | | -----> | | User ------------- | Service Orchestration | |NetworkOSS| l3vpn-svc | | <----- | | model +-----------------------+ Response +----------+ RT1,RT2
In the example above, a service orchestration, owning the instantiation of this service model, request route-targets to the network OSS. Based on the requested VPN topology, the network OSS replies with one or multiple route-targets. The interface between this service orchestration and network OSS is out of scope of this document.
+---------------------------+ RestConf | | User ------------- | Service Orchestration | l3vpn-svc | | model | | | RT pool : 10:1->10:10000 | | RT pool : 20:50->20:5000 | +---------------------------+
In the example above, a service orchestration, owning the instantiation of this service model, owns one or more pools of route-target (filled by service provider) that can be allocated. Based on the requested VPN topology, it will allocate one or multiple route-targets from the pool.
The mechanism displayed above are just examples and SHOULD NOT be considered as exhaustive list of solutions.
+------------------------------------------------------------+ | VPN1_Site1 ------ PE1 PE2 ------ VPN1_Site2 | | | | VPN1_Site3 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ VPN1_Site4 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure - Any to any VPN topology
In the any to any topology, all VPN sites can discuss between each other without any restriction. It is expected that the management system that owns a any to any IPVPN service request through this model, needs to assign and then configure the VRF and route-targets on the appropriate PEs. In case of any to any, in general a single route-target is required and every VRF imports and exports this route-target.
+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Hub_Site1 ------ PE1 PE2 ------ Spoke_Site1 | | +----------------------------------+ | | | +----------------------------------+ | Hub_Site2 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ Spoke_Site2 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure - Hub and Spoke VPN topology
In the hub and spoke topology, all spoke sites can discuss only with Hub sites but not between each other. Hubs can discuss also between each other. It is expected that the management system that owns a any to any IPVPN service request through this model, needs to assign and then configure the VRF and route-targets on the appropriate PEs. In case of hub and spoke, in general a two route-targets are required (one route-target for Hub routes, one route-target for spoke routes). A Hub VRF, connecting Hub sites, will export Hub routes with Hub route-target, and will import Spoke routes through Spoke route-target. It will also import the Hub route-target to allow Hub to Hub communication. A Spoke VRF, connecting Spoke sites, will export Spoke routes with Spoke route-target, and will import Hub routes through Hub route-target.
The management system MUST take into account Hub and Spoke connections constraints. For example, if management system decides to mesh a spoke site and a hub site on the same PE, it needs to mesh connections in different VRFs as displayed in the figure below.
Hub_Site ------- (VRF_Hub) PE1 (VRF_Spoke) / | Spoke_Site1 -------------------+ | | Spoke_Site2 -----------------------+
+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Hub_Site1 ------ PE1 PE2 ------ Spoke_Site1 | +--------------------------+ +-------------------------------+ | | +--------------------------+ +-------------------------------+ | Hub_Site2 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ Spoke_Site2 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure - Hub and Spoke disjoint VPN topology
In the hub and spoke disjoint topology, all spoke sites can discuss only with Hub sites but not between each other. Hubs cannot discuss between each other. It is expected that the management system that owns a any to any IPVPN service request through this model, needs to assign and then configure the VRF and route-targets on the appropriate PEs. In case of hub and spoke, in general a two route-targets are required (one route-target for Hub routes, one route-target for spoke routes). A Hub VRF, connecting Hub sites, will export Hub routes with Hub route-target, and will import Spoke routes through Spoke route-target. A Spoke VRF, connecting Spoke sites, will export Spoke routes with Spoke route-target, and will import Hub routes through Hub route-target.
The management system MUST take into account Hub and Spoke connections constraints as in the previous case.
The proposed model provides cloud access configuration through the cloud-access container. Internet access can typically be considered as a public cloud access service. The cloud-access container provides parameters for network address translation and authorization rules.
A cloud identifier is used to reference the target service. This identifier is local to each administration.
If NAT is required to access to the cloud, the nat-enabled leaf MUST be set to true. A NAT address may be provided in customer-nat-address, in case the customer is providing the public IP address for the cloud access. If service provider is providing the NAT address, customer-nat-address is not necessary as it can be picked from a service provider pool.
By default, all sites in the IPVPN MUST be authorized to access to the cloud. In case restrictions are required, a user MAY configure the authorized-sites and denied-sites list. The authorization-sites defines the list of sites authorized for cloud access. The denied-sites defines the list of sites denied for cloud access. The model supports both "deny all expect" and "accept all expect" authorization.
The "deny all expect" behavior is obtained by filling only the authorized-sites. All the sites listed will be authorized, all others will be denied.
The "accept all expect" behavior is obtained by filling only the denied-sites. All the sites listed will be denied, all others will be authorized.
Defining both denied-sites and authorized-sites MUST be processed as "deny all expect", so the denied-sites will have not effect.
How the restrictions will be configured on network elements is out of scope of this document and will be specific to each deployment.
IPVPN ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++ + Site 3 + --- + Cloud1 + + Site 1 + +++++++++++ + + + Site 2 + --- ++++++++++++ + + + Internet + + Site 4 + ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | ++++++++++ + Cloud2 + ++++++++++
<vpn-svc> <vpn-id>ZKITYHJ054687</vpn-id> <customer-name>CUSTOMER_1</customer-name> <topology>any-to-any</topology> <cloud-access> <cloud-identifier>51</cloud-identifier> <nat-enabled>true</nat-enabled> </cloud-access> </vpn-svc>
In the example above, we may configure the global VPN to access Internet by creating a cloud-access pointing to the cloud identifier for Internet service. No authorized-sites will be configured as all sites are required to access to Internet. NAT-enabled will be set to true and a nat-address will be configured.
<vpn-svc> <vpn-id>12456487</vpn-id> <customer-name>CUSTOMER_1</customer-name> <topology>any-to-any</topology> <cloud-access> <cloud-identifier>1111111</cloud-identifier> <authorized-sites> <site-id>site1</site-id> <site-id>site2</site-id> </authorized-sites> </cloud-access> </vpn-svc>
If Site1 and Site2 requires access to Cloud1, a new cloud-access will be created pointing to the cloud identifier of Cloud1. Authorized sites will be filled with reference to Site1 and Site2.
<vpn-svc> <vpn-id>12456487</vpn-id> <customer-name>CUSTOMER_1</customer-name> <topology>any-to-any</topology> <cloud-access> <cloud-identifier>22222222</cloud-identifier> <denied-sites> <site-id>site1</site-id> </denied-sites> </cloud-access> </vpn-svc>
If all sites except Site1 requires access to Cloud2, a new cloud-access will be created pointing to the cloud identifier of Cloud2. denied-sites will be filled with reference to Site1.
Multicast in IP VPN is described in [RFC6513].
If IPVPN supports multicast service, it is expected to provide inputs on global multicast parameters.
The user of this model will need to fill the flavor of trees that will be used by customer within the IPVPN (Customer tree). The proposed model supports ASM, SSM and BiDirectional trees (and can be augmented). Multiple flavors of tree can be supported simultaneously.
(SSM tree) Recv (IGMPv3) -- Site2 ------- PE2 PE1 --- Site1 --- Source1 \ -- Source2 (ASM tree) Recv (IGMPv2) -- Site3 ------- PE3 (SSM tree) Recv (IGMPv3) -- Site4 ------- PE4 / Recv (IGMPv2) -- Site5 -------- (ASM tree)
In case of ASM flavor requested, this model requires to fill the rp and rp-discovery parameters. Multiple RP to group mappings can be created using the rp-group-mappings container. For each mapping, the RP service can be managed by the service provider using the leaf provider-managed/enabled set to true. In case of provider managed RP, user can request for rendez-vous point redundancy and/or optimal traffic delivery. Those parameters will help the service provider to select the appropriate technology to fulfill the customer service requirement : for instance, in case of request of optimal traffic delivery, service provider may decide to use Anycast-RP or RP-tree to SPT switchover.
In case of customer managed RP, the RP address must be filled in the RP to group mappings using the "rp-address" leaf. This leaf is not needed for provider managed RP.
User can define a specific rp-discovery mechanism like : auto-rp, static-rp, bsr-rp modes. By default, model considers static-rp if ASM is requested. A single rp-discovery mechanism is allowed for the VPN. "rp-discovery" can be used for provider and customer managed RPs. In case of provider managed RP, if the user wants to use bsr-rp as discovery protocol, service provider will consider the provider managed rp-group-mappings for bsr-rp. The service provider will so configure its selected RPs to be bsr-rp-candidates. In case of customer managed RP and bsr-rp discovery mechanism, the rp-address provided will be considered as bsr-rp candidate.
There are some cases where a particular VPN needs to access to resources that are external. The resources may be located in another VPN.
+-----------+ +-----------+ / \ / \ SiteA -- | VPN A | --- | VPN B | --- SiteB \ / \ / (Shared +-----------+ +-----------+ resources)
In the figure above, VPN B has some resources on Site B that need to be available to some customers/partners. VPN A must be able to access those VPN B resources.
Such VPN connection scenario can be achieved by the VPN policy defined in Section 5.4.2.2. But there are some simple cases, where a particular VPN (VPN A) needs to access to all resources in a VPN B. The model provides an easy way to setup this connection using the extranet-vpns container.
The extranet-vpns container defines a list of VPNs, a particular VPN wants to access. The extranet-vpns must be used on "customer" VPNs accessing extranet resources in another VPN. In the figure above, in order to give access for VPN A to VPN B, extranet-vpns container will be configured under VPN A with an entry corresponding to VPN B and there is no service configuration requirement on VPN B.
The site-role leaf defines the role of the local VPN sites in the target extranet VPN topology. Site roles are defined in Section 5.3. Based on this, the requirements described in Section 5.3 regarding the site-role leaf are also applicable here.
In the example below, VPN A accesses to VPN B resources through extranet connection, a spoke role is required for VPN A sites, so sites from VPN A must not be able to communicate between each other through the extranet VPN connection.
<vpn-svc> <vpn-id>VPNB</vpn-id> <topology>hub-spoke</topology> </vpn-svc> <vpn-svc> <vpn-id>VPNA</vpn-id> <topology>any-to-any</topology> <extranet-vpns> <extranet-vpn> <vpn-id>VPNB</vpn-id> <site-role>spoke-role</site-role> </extranet-vpn> </extranet-vpns> </vpn-svc>
This model does not define how the extranet configuration will be achieved.
Any more complex VPN connection topology (e.g. only part of sites of VPN A accessing only part of sites of VPN B) needs to be achieved using the vpn attachment defined in Section 5.4.2.
+-------------+ / \ +------------------+ +-----| VPN1 | | | | \ / | New York Office | ----- (site) -----+ +-------------+ | | | +-------------+ +------------------+ | / \ +-----| VPN2 | \ / +-------------+
A site represents a connection of a customer location to one or more VPN services.
A site is composed of some characteristics :
+------------------+ Site | |----------------------------------- | |****** (site-network-access#1) ****** | New York Office | | |****** (site-network-access#2) ****** | |----------------------------------- +------------------+
A site-network-access represents an IP logical connection of a site. A site may have multiple site-network-accesses.
The site configuration is viewed as a global entity, we assume that it is mostly the role of the management to split the parameters between the different elements within the network. For example, in the case of the site-network-access configuration, the management system needs to split the overall parameters between PE configuration and CE configuration.
As mentioned, a site may be multihomed. Each IP network access for a site is defined in the site-network-accesses list. The site-network-access defines how the site is connected on the network and is splitted in three main classes of parameters :
Some parameters from the site can be configured also at the site-network-access level like : routing, services, security ... Defining parameters only at site level will provide inheritance. If a parameter is configured at both site and access level, the access level parameter MUST override the site level parameter. Those parameters will be described later in the document.
Bearer defines the requirements for the site attachment to the provider network that are below Layer 3.
The bearer parameters will help to decide the access media to be used. This is further described in Section 5.6.
The connection defines the protocol parameters of the attachment (IPv4 and IPv6). Depending of the management mode, it refers to the PE-CE addressing or CE to customer LAN addressing. In any case, it describes the provider to customer responsibility boundary. For a customer managed site, it refers to the PE-CE connection. For a provider managed site, it refers to the CE to LAN connection.
IP subnet can be configured for either transport protocols. For a dual stack connection, two subnets will be provided, one for each transport layer.
The address-allocation-type will help in defining how the address allocation MUST be done. The current model proposes three ways of IP address allocation :
A VPN has a particular topology as described in Section 5.1.1. As a consequence, each site belonging to a VPN as a particular role in this topology. The site-role defines the role of the site in a particular VPN topology.
In the any-to-any topology, all sites MUST have the same role which is any-to-any-role.
In the hub-spoke or hub-spoke-disjoint topology, sites MUST have a hub-role or a spoke-role.
A site may be part of one or multiple VPNs. The site flavor defines the way the VPN multiplexing is done. The current version of the model only supports two flavors :
The figure below describes the single VPN attachment. The site connects to only one VPN.
+--------+ +------------------+ Site / \ | |-----------------------------| | | |***(site-network-access#1)***| VPN1 | | New York Office | | | | |***(site-network-access#2)***| | | |-----------------------------| | +------------------+ \ / +--------+
The figure below describes the multi VPN attachment. The site connects to multiple VPNs.
+---------+ +---/----+ \ +------------------+ Site / | \ | | |--------------------------------- | |VPNB | | |***(site-network-access#1)******* | | | | New York Office | | | | | | |***(site-network-access#2)******* \ | / | |-----------------------------| VPNA +-----|---+ +------------------+ \ / +--------+
In the example above, the New York office is multihomed, both logical accesses are using the same VPN attachment rules. Both logical accesses are so connected to VPNA and VPNB.
The figure below describes a sub VPN attachment. The site connects to multiple VPNs but each logical access is attached to a particular set of VPN. Typical use case of subVPN is a customer site used by multiple affiliates with private resources for each affiliates that cannot be shared (communication is prevented between the affiliates). It is similar than having separate sites instead that the customer wants to share some physical components while keeping strong isolation. In the example, the access#1 is attached to VPNB while the access#2 is attached to VPNA.
+------------------+ Site +--------+ | |----------------------------------/ \ | |****(site-network-access#1)******| VPNB | | New York Office | \ / | | +--------+ | | +--------+ | | / \ | |****(site-network-access#2)******| VPNA | | | \ / | | +--------+ | |----------------------------------- +------------------+
Multi-VPN can be implemented in addition to subVPN, as a consequence, each site-network-access can access to multiple VPNs. In the example below, access#1 is mapped to VPNB and VPNC, while access#2 is mapped to VPNA and VPND.
+------------------+ Site +-----+ | |----------------------------------/ +----+ | |****(site-network-access#1)******| VPNB / \ | New York Office | \ | VPN C | | | +----\ / | | +-----+ | | | | +------+ | | / +-----+ | |****(site-network-access#2)******| VPNA / \ | | \ | VPN D | | | +------\ / | |----------------------------------- +---+ +------------------+
Multihoming is also possible with subVPN, in this case, site-network-accesses are grouped, and a particular group will access to the same set of VPN. In the example below, access#1 and #2 are part of the same group (multihomed together) and will be mapped to VPN B and C, in addition access#3 and #4 are part of the same group (multihomed together) and will be mapped to VPN A and D.
+------------------+ Site +-----+ | |----------------------------------/ +----+ | |****(site-network-access#1)******| VPNB / \ | New York Office |****(site-network-access#2)******\ | VPN C | | | +----\ / | | +-----+ | | | | +------+ | | / +-----+ | |****(site-network-access#3)******| VPNA / \ | |****(site-network-access#4)****** \ | VPN D | | | +------\ / | |----------------------------------- +---+ +------------------+
Due to the multiple site vpn flavors, the attachment is done at the site-network-access (logical access) level through the vpn-attachment container. The vpn-attachment container is mandatory. The model provides two ways of attachment :
A choice is implemented to allow user to choose the best fitting flavor.
Referencing a vpn-id provides an easy way to attach a particular logical access to a VPN. This is the best way in case of single VPN attachment or subVPN with single VPN attachment per logical access. When referencing a vpn-id, the site-role must be added to express the role of the site in the target VPN topology.
<site> <site-id>SITE1</site-id> <site-network-accesses> <site-network-access> <site-network-access-id>LA1</site-network-access-id> <vpn-attachment> <vpn-id>VPNA</vpn-id> <site-role>spoke-role</site-role> </vpn-attachment> </site-network-access> <site-network-access-id>LA2</site-network-access-id> <vpn-attachment> <vpn-id>VPNB</vpn-id> <site-role>spoke-role</site-role> </vpn-attachment> </site-network-access> </site-network-accesses> </site>
The example above describes a subVPN case where a site SITE1 has two logical accesses (LA1 and LA2) with LA1 attached to VPNA and LA2 attached to VPNB.
The vpn-policy helps to express a multiVPN scenario where a logical access belongs to multiple VPNs. Multiple VPN policy can be created to handle the subVPN case where each logical access is part of a different set of VPNs.
As a site can belong to multiple VPNs, the vpn-policy may be composed of multiple entries. A filter can be applied to specify that only some LANs of the site should be part of a particular VPN. Each time a site (or LAN) is attached to a VPN, we must precise its role (site-role) within the targeted VPN topology.
+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | VPN2_Site3 ------ PE7 | +-------------------------+ | | | +-------------------------+ | | VPN2_Site1 ------ PE3 PE4 ------ VPN2_Site2 | +----------------------------------+ | | | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | | VPN3_Site1 ------ PE5 | PE6 ------ VPN3_Site2 | | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | +---------------------------+
In the example above, VPN3_Site2 is part of two VPNs : VPN3 and VPN2. It will play hub-role in VPN2 and any-to-any role in VPN3. We can express such multiVPN scenario as follows :
<site> <site-id>VPN3_Site2</site-id> <vpn-policy-list> <vpn-policy> <vpn-policy-id>POLICY1</vpn-policy-id> <entries> <id>ENTRY1</id> <vpn> <vpn-id>VPN2</vpn-id> <site-role>hub-role</site-role> </vpn> </entries> <entries> <id>ENTRY2</id> <vpn> <vpn-id>VPN3</vpn-id> <site-role>any-to-any-role</site-role> </vpn> </entries> </vpn-policy> </vpn-policy-list> <site-network-accesses> <site-network-access> <site-network-access-id>LA1</site-network-access-id> <vpn-attachment> <vpn-policy-id>POLICY1</vpn-policy-id> </vpn-attachment> </site-network-access> </site-network-accesses> </site>
Now in case more specific VPN attachment is necessary, filtering can be used. For example, if LAN1 from VPN3_site2 must be attached to VPN2 as hub and LAN2 must be attached to VPN3, the following configuration can be used :
<site> <site-id>VPN3_Site2</site-id> <vpn-policy-list> <vpn-policy> <vpn-policy-id>POLICY1</vpn-policy-id> <entries> <id>ENTRY1</id> <filter> <lan-tag>LAN1</lan-tag> </filter> <vpn> <vpn-id>VPN2</vpn-id> <site-role>hub-role</site-role> </vpn> </entries> <entries> <id>ENTRY2</id> <filter> <lan-tag>LAN2</lan-tag> </filter> <vpn> <vpn-id>VPN3</vpn-id> <site-role>any-to-any-role</site-role> </vpn> </entries> </vpn-policy> </vpn-policy-list> <site-network-accesses> <site-network-access> <site-network-access-id>LA1</site-network-access-id> <vpn-attachment> <vpn-policy-id>POLICY1</vpn-policy-id> </vpn-attachment> </site-network-access> </site-network-accesses> </site>
The management system will have to decide where to connect the site in the provider network (PE, aggregation switch ...). The current model proposes parameters and constraints that will help the management system to decide where to attach the customer site. The management system SHOULD honor the customer constraints, if the constraint cannot be filled, the management system MUST not provision the site and SHOULD provide an information to the user. How the information is provided is out of scope of the document. It would be up to the user to relax the constraint or not. Parameters are just hints for management system for service placement. In addition to parameters and constraints : the managemen system decision MAY be based on any other internal constraint that are up to the service provider : least load, distance ...
PoP#1 (New York) +---------+ | PE1 | Site #1 ---... | PE2 | (Atlantic City) | PE3 | +---------+ PoP#2 (Washington) +---------+ | PE4 | | PE5 | | PE6 | +---------+ PoP#3 (Philadelphia) +---------+ | PE7 | Site #2 ---... | PE2 | (Reston) | PE9 | +---------+
The location information provided in this model MAY be used by a management system to decide the target PE to mesh the site.
The site diversity defines what is the acceptable fate sharing level in case multiple sites for a single VPN must be provisioned in a common location. The site diversity introduces the notion of site-group. Sites belonging to the same site-group cannot share the same fate.
The site-group information MUST be considered as local to a particular customer, so different customers can use the same site-group identifier.
We propose to introduce two constraints :
How these diversity constraints are applied is out of scope of the document. As an example, the management system receiving the request for diversity, MAY exchange information with some OSS components to define the best target PEs based on location and resource availability.
PoP#1 +---------+ | PE1 | Office#1 ---... | PE2 | Office#2 ---... | PE3 | Office#3 ---... | PE4 | Office#...--... +---------+ Office#100--...
As example, if a company has multiple small branch offices (single homed) that requires to be connected in the same location, it is desirable to dispatch the attachment on multiple PEs. So in case of PE crash, only some offices will be impacted.
In case, in a particular site-group, there are sites requesting a specific diversity type (pe-diverse) and others are requesting another type (PoP or LC diverse), the management system MUST take into account informations (linecards, PE and PoP) from all the sites within the site group. As an example : site A is connected to PE#1 PoP#1 in site-group #100.
A site may be multihomed, so having multiple site-network-accesses. By default, diversity constraint for accesses belonging to the same site is set to "PE-diverse".
PoP#1 +---------+ | PE1 | Hub_Site_primary ------ | PE2 | | PE3 | +---------+ PoP#2 +---------+ | PE4 | Hub_Site_backup ------- | PE5 | | PE6 | +---------+
Consider a dual homed hub site, it is desirable for redundancy to provision the two VPN access connections on two different PEs or two different PoPs.
The site-network-access/availability defines parameters for the site redundancy. The access-priority defines a preference for a particular access. This preference is used to model any kind of loadbalancing or primary/backup scenario. The highest the access-priority is, and the highest the preference will be.
The figure below describes how access-priority attribute can be used.
Hub#1 LAN (Primary/backup) Hub#2 LAN (Loadsharing) | | | access-priority 1 access-priority 1 | |--- CE1 ------- PE1 PE3 --------- CE3 --- | | | | | |--- CE2 ------- PE2 PE4 --------- CE4 --- | | access-priority 2 access-priority 1 | PE5 | | | CE5 | Spoke#1 site (Single-homed)
In the figure above, Hub#2 requires loadsharing so all the site-network-accesses must use the same access-priority value. At the contrary, as Hub#1 requires primary/backup, a higher access-priority will be configured on the primary access.
More complex scenario can be modeled. Let's consider a Hub site with 5 accesses to the network (A1,A2,A3,A4,A5). The customer wants to loadshare traffic on A1,A2 in the nominal situation. If A1 and A2 fails, he wants to loadshare traffic on A3 and A4, and finally if A1 to A4 are down, he wants to use A5. We can model it easily by associating the following access-priorities : A1=100, A2=100, A3=50, A4=50, A5=10.
The service model supports the ability to protect traffic for the site. Protection provides a better availability to multihoming by, for example, using local-repair techniques in case of failures. The associated level of service guarantee would be based on an agreement between customer and service provider and is out of scope of this document.
Site#1 Site#2 CE1 ----- PE1 -- P1 P3 -- PE3 ---- CE3 | | | | | | CE2 ----- PE2 -- P2 P4 -- PE4 ---- CE4 / / CE5 ----+ Site#3
In the figure above, we consider an IPVPN service with three sites including two dual homed sites (site#1 and #2). For dual homed sites, we consider PE1-CE1 and PE3-CE3 as primary, and PE2-CE2,PE4-CE4 as backup for the example (even if protection also applies to loadsharing scenarios.)
In order to protect Site#2 against a failure, user may set the enabled leaf of traffic-protection to true on the site-network-accesses of site#2. How the traffic protection will be implemented is out of scope of the document. But as an example, in such case, if we consider traffic coming from a remote site (site#1 or site#3), primary path is to use PE3 as egress PE. PE3 may have preprogrammed a backup forwarding entry pointing to backup path (through PE4-CE4) for all prefixes going through PE3-CE3 link. How backup path is computed is out of scope of the document. When PE3-CE3 link fails, traffic is still received by PE3 but PE3 switch automatically traffic to the backup entry, path will so be PE1-P1-(...)-P3-PE3-PE4-CE4 until remote PEs reconverge and use PE4 as egress PE.
Route distinguisher is also a critical parameter of PE-based L3VPN as described in [RFC4364] that will allow to distinguish common addressing plans in different VPNs. As for Route-targets, it is expected management system to allocate a VRF on the target PE and a route-distinguisher for this VRF.
If a VRF exists on the target PE, and the VRF fulfils the connectivity constraints for the site, there is no need to recreate another VRF and the site MAY be meshed within this existing VRF. How the management system checks that an existing VRF fulfils the connectivity constraints for a site is out of scope of this document.
If no VRF exists on the target PE, filling the site constraints, the management system will have to initiate a new VRF creation on the target PE and will have to allocate a new route distinguisher for this new VRF.
The management system MAY apply a per-VPN or per-VRF allocation policy for the route-distinguisher depending of the service provider policy. In a per-VPN allocation policy, all VRFs (dispatched on multiple PEs) within a VPN will share the same route distinguisher value. In a per-VRF model, all VRFs will always have a unique route-distinguisher value. Some other allocation policies are also possible, and this document does not restrict the allocation policies to be used.
Allocation of route-distinguisher MAY be done in the same way as the route-targets. The example provided in Section 5.1.1.1 could be reused.
Note that a service provider MAY decide to configure target PE for automated allocation of route distinguisher. In this case, there will be no need for any backend system to allocate a route-distinguisher value.
The management system will need to elect the access method to connect the site to the customer (for example : PPP over ISDN, xSDL, leased line, Ethernet backhaul ...). The customer may provide some parameters/constraints that will provide hints to the management system.
The bearer container information SHOULD be used as first input :
Other parameters like the requested svc-input-bandwidth, svc-output-bandwidth MAY help to decide the access type to be used. Any other internal parameters from the service provider can be used in addition.
Security container defines customer specific security parameters for the site.
The current model does not support any authentication parameters, but such parameters may be added in the authentication container through augmentation.
Encryption can be requested on the connection. It may be performed at layer 2 or layer 3 by selecting the appropriate enumeration in "layer" leaf. The encryption profile can be a service provider defined profile or customer specific.
The model proposes three types of common management options :
Based on the management model, different security options MAY be derived.
In case of "provider-managed" or "co-managed", the model proposes some option to define the management transport protocol (IPv4 or IPv6) and the associated management address.
Routing-protocol defines which routing protocol must be activated between the provider and the customer router. The current model support : bgp, rip, rip-ng, ospf, static, direct, vrrp.
The routing protocol defined applies at the provider to customer boundary. Depending of the management of the management model, it may apply to the PE-CE boundary or CE to customer boundary. In case of customer managed site, the routing-protocol defined will be activated between the PE and the CE router managed by the customer. In case of provider managed site, the routing-protocol defined will be activated between the CE managed by the SP and the router or LAN belonging to the customer. In this case, it is expected that the PE-CE routing will be configured based on the service provider rules as both are managed by the same entity.
Rtg protocol 192.0.2.0/24 ----- CE ----------------- PE1 Customer managed site
Rtg protocol Customer router ----- CE ----------------- PE1 Provider managed site
All the examples below will refer to a customer managed site case.
All routing protocol types support dual stack by using address-family leaf-list.
Example of Dual stack using the same routing protocol : <routing-protocols> <routing-protocol> <type>static</type> <static> <address-family>ipv4</address-family> <address-family>ipv6</address-family> </static> </routing-protocol> </routing-protocols>
Example of Dual stack using two different routing protocols : <routing-protocols> <routing-protocol> <type>rip</type> <rip> <address-family>ipv4</address-family> </rip> </routing-protocol> <routing-protocol> <type>ospf</type> <ospf> <address-family>ipv6</address-family> </ospf> </routing-protocol> </routing-protocols>
Routing-protocol "direct" SHOULD be used when a customer LAN is directly connected to the provider network and must be advertised in the IPVPN.
LAN attached directly to provider network : 192.0.2.0/24 ----- PE1
Routing-protocol "vrrp" SHOULD be used when a customer LAN is directly connected to the provider network and must be advertised in the IPVPN and LAN redundancy is expected.
LAN attached directly to provider network with LAN redundancy: 192.0.2.0/24 ------ PE1 | +-- PE2
Routing-protocol "static" MAY be used when a customer LAN is connected to the provider network through a CE router and must be advertised in the IPVPN.
Static rtg 192.0.2.0/24 ------ CE -------------- PE | | | Static route 192.0.2.0/24 nh CE Static route 0.0.0.0/0 nh PE
Routing-protocol "rip" MAY be used when a customer LAN is connected to the provider network through a CE router and must be advertised in the IPVPN.
In case of dual stack, the management system will be responsible to configure rip (including right version number) and rip-ng instances on network elements.
RIP rtg 192.0.2.0/24 ------ CE -------------- PE
Routing-protocol "ospf" MAY be used when a customer LAN is connected to the provider network through a CE router and must be advertised in the IPVPN.
It can be used to extend an existing OSPF network and interconnect different areas. See [RFC4577] for more details.
+---------------------+ | | OSPF | | OSPF area 1 | | area 2 (OSPF | | (OSPF area 1) --- CE ---------- PE PE ----- CE --- area 2) | | +---------------------+
The model also proposes an option to create an OSPF sham-link between two sites sharing the same area and having a backdoor link. The sham-link is created by referencing the target site sharing the same OSPF area. The management system will be responsible to check if there is already a shamlink configured for this VPN and area between the same pair of PEs. If there is no existing shamlink, the management system will provision it, this shamlink MAY be reused by other sites.
+------------------------+ | | | | | PE (--shamlink--)PE | | | | | +----|----------------|--+ | OSPF area1 | OSPF area 1 | | CE1 CE2 | | (OSPF area1) (OSPF area1) | | +----------------+
Regarding Dual stack support, user MAY decide to fill both IPv4 and IPv6 address families, if both protocols SHOULD be routed through OSPF. As OSPF is using two different protocol for IPv4 and IPv6, the management system will need to configure both ospf version 2 and version 3 on the PE-CE link.
Example of OSPF routing parameters in service model.
<routing-protocols> <routing-protocol> <type>ospf</type> <ospf> <area-address>0.0.0.1</area-address> <address-family>ipv4</address-family> <address-family>ipv6</address-family> </ospf> </routing-protocol> </routing-protocols>
Example of PE configuration done by management system : router ospf 10 area 0.0.0.1 interface Ethernet0/0 ! router ospfv3 10 area 0.0.0.1 interface Ethernet0/0 !
Routing-protocol "bgp" MAY be used when a customer LAN is connected to the provider network through a CE router and must be advertised in the IPVPN.
BGP rtg 192.0.2.0/24 ------ CE -------------- PE
The session addressing will be derived from connection parameters as well as internal knowledge of SP.
In case of dual stack access, user MAY request BGP routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 by filling both address-families. It will be up to SP and management system to decide how to decline the configuration (two BGP sessions, single, multisession ...).
The service configuration below actives BGP on PE-CE link for both IPv4 and IPv6.
BGP activation requires SP to know the address of the customer peer. "static-address" allocation type for the IP connection MUST be used.
<routing-protocols> <routing-protocol> <type>bgp</type> <bgp> <autonomous-system>65000</autonomous-system> <address-family>ipv4</address-family> <address-family>ipv6</address-family> <bgp> </routing-protocol> </routing-protocols>
This service configuration can be derived by management system into multiple flavors depending on SP flavor.
Example #1 of PE configuration done by management system (single session IPv4 transport): router bgp 100 neighbor 203.0.113.2 remote-as 65000 address-family ipv4 vrf Cust1 neighbor 203.0.113.2 activate address-family ipv6 vrf Cust1 neighbor 203.0.113.2 activate neighbor 203.0.113.2 route-map SET-NH-IPV6 out
Example #2 of PE configuration done by management system (two sessions): router bgp 100 neighbor 203.0.113.2 remote-as 65000 neighbor 2001::2 remote-as 65000 address-family ipv4 vrf Cust1 neighbor 203.0.113.2 activate address-family ipv6 vrf Cust1 neighbor 2001::2 activate
Example #3 of PE configuration done by management system (multisession): router bgp 100 neighbor 203.0.113.2 remote-as 65000 neighbor 203.0.113.2 multisession per-af address-family ipv4 vrf Cust1 neighbor 203.0.113.2 activate address-family ipv6 vrf Cust1 neighbor 203.0.113.2 activate neighbor 203.0.113.2 route-map SET-NH-IPV6 out
The service defines service parameters associated with the site.
The service bandwidth refers to the bandwidth requirement between PE and CE (WAN access bandwidth). The requested bandwidth is expressed as svc-input-bandwidth and svc-output-bandwidth in bit per seconds. Input/output direction is using customer site as reference : input bandwidth so means download bandwidth for the site, and output bandwidth means upload bandwidth for the site.
Using a different input and output bandwidth will allow service provider to know if customer allows for asymmetric bandwidth access like ADSL. It can also be used to rate-limit in a different way upload and download on a symmetric bandwidth access.
The bandwidth is a service bandwidth : expressed primarly as IP bandwidth but if the customer enables MPLS for carrier's carrier, this becomes MPLS bandwidth.
The model proposes to define QoS parameters in an abstracted way :
QoS classification rules are handled by qos-classification-policy. The qos-classification-policy is an ordered list of rules that match a flow or application and set the appropriate target class of service (target-class-id). The user can define the match using an application reference or a more specific flow definition (based layer 3 source and destination address, layer 4 ports, layer 4 protocol). The current model defines some applications but new application identities may be added through augmentation. The exact meaning of each application identity is up to the service provider, so it will be necessary for the service provider to advise customer on usage of application matching.
Where the classification is done depends on the SP implementation of the service, but classification concerns the flow coming from the customer site and entering the network.
Provider network +-----------------------+ 192.0.2.0/24 198.51.100.0/24 ---- CE --------- PE Traffic flow ---------->
In the figure above, the management system can decide :
The figure below describes a sample service description of qos-classification for a site :
<service> <qos> <qos-classification-policy> <rules> <id>1</id> <match-flow> <ipv4-src-prefix>192.0.2.0/24</ipv4-src-prefix> <ipv4-dst-prefix>203.0.113.1/32</ipv4-dst-prefix> <l4-dst-port>80</l4-dst-port> <l4-protocol>tcp</l4-protocol> </match-flow> <target-class-id>DATA2</target-class-id> </rules> <rules> <id>2</id> <match-flow> <ipv4-src-prefix>192.0.2.0/24</ipv4-src-prefix> <ipv4-dst-prefix>203.0.113.1/32</ipv4-dst-prefix> <l4-dst-port>21</l4-dst-port> <l4-protocol>tcp</l4-protocol> </match-flow> <target-class-id>DATA2</target-class-id> </rules> <rules> <id>3</id> <match-application>p2p</match-application> <target-class-id>DATA3</target-class-id> </rules> <rules> <id>4</id> <target-class-id>DATA1</target-class-id> </rules> </qos-classification-policy> </qos> </service>
In the example above :
The order of rules is really important. The management system responsible for translating those rules in network element configuration MUST keep the same processing order in element configuration. The order of rule is defined by the "id" leaf. The lowest "id" MUST be processed first.
User can choose between standard profile provided by the operator or custom profile.
Provider network +-----------------------+ 192.0.2.0/24 198.51.100.0/24 ---- CE --------- PE \ / qos-profile
A custom qos-profile is defined as a list of class of services and associated properties. The properties are :
<site> <site-id>1245HRTFGJGJ154654</site-id> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>100000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>100000000</svc-output-bandwidth> <qos> <qos-profile> <profile>PLATINUM</profile> </qos-profile> </qos> </service> </site> <site> <site-id>555555AAAA2344</site-id> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>2000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>2000000</svc-output-bandwidth> <qos> <qos-profile> <profile>GOLD</profile> </qos-profile> </qos> </service> </site>
Example of service configuration using a standard qos profile :
<site> <site-id>Site1</site-id> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>100000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>100000000</svc-output-bandwidth> <qos> <qos-profile> <classes> <class> <class-id>REAL_TIME</class-id> <rate-limit>10</rate-limit> <priority-level>10</priority-level> </class> <class> <class-id>DATA</class-id> <priority-level>5</priority-level> </class> </classes> </qos-profile> </qos> </service> </site> <site> <site-id>Site2</site-id> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>2000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>2000000</svc-output-bandwidth> <qos> <qos-profile> <classes> <class> <class-id>REAL_TIME</class-id> <rate-limit>30</rate-limit> <priority-level>10</priority-level> </class> <class> <class-id>DATA1</class-id> <priority-level>5</priority-level> <guaranteed-bw-percent>80</guaranteed-bw-percent> </class> <class> <class-id>DATA2</class-id> <priority-level>5</priority-level> <guaranteed-bw-percent>20</guaranteed-bw-percent> </class> </classes> </qos-profile> </qos> </service> </site>
Example of service configuration using a custom qos profile :
The custom qos-profile for site1 defines that traffic from REAL_TIME class will have a higher priority than traffic from DATA class. The REAL_TIME traffic will be rate-limit to 10% of the service bandwidth (10% of 100Mbps = 10Mbps) to let some place for DATA traffic.
The custom qos-profile for site2 defines that traffic from REAL_TIME class will have a higher priority than traffic from data traffic. Data traffic will be splitted in two class of service DATA1 and DATA2 that will share bandwidth between them according to the percentage of guaranteed-bw-percent. The maximum of percentage to be used is not limited by this model but MUST be limited by the management system according to the policies authorized by the service provider. The REAL_TIME traffic will be rate-limit to 30% of the service bandwidth (30% of 100Mbps = 30Mbps) to let some place for data traffic. In case of congestion of the access, the REAL_TIME traffic can go up to 30Mbps (Let's assume that 20Mbps only are consumed). The DATA1 and DATA2 will share remaining bandwidth (80Mbps) according to their percentage. So DATA1 will be served with at least 64Mbps of bandwidth.
The multicast section defines the type of site in the customer multicast topology : source, receiver, or both. These parameters will help management system to optimize the multicast service. User can also define the type of multicast relation with the customer : router (requires a protocol like PIM), host (IGMP or MLD), or both. Transport protocol (IPv4 or IPv6 or both) can also be defined.
In case of Carrier's Carrier ([RFC4364]), a customer MAY want to build MPLS service using an IPVPN as transport layer.
LAN customer1 | | CE1 | | ------------- (vrf_cust1) CE1_ISP1 | ISP1 PoP | MPLS link | ------------- | (vrf ISP1) PE1 (...) Provider backbone PE2 (vrf ISP1) | | ------------ | | MPLS link | ISP1 PoP CE2_ISP1 (vrf_cust1) |------------- | CE2 | Lan customer1
In the figure above, ISP1 resells IPVPN service but has no transport infrastructure between its PoPs. ISP1 uses an IPVPN as transport infrastructure (belonging to another provider) between its PoPs.
In order to support CsC, the VPN service must be declared MPLS support using the "carrierscarrier" leaf set to true in vpn-svc. The link between CE1_ISP1/PE1 and CE2_ISP1/PE2 must also run a MPLS signalling protocol. This configuration is done at the site level.
In the proposed model, LDP or BGP can be used as MPLS signalling protocol. In case of LDP, an IGP routing protocol MUST also be activated. In case of BGP signalling, BGP MUST also be configured as routing-protocol.
A customer may require some constraints for transporting traffic between particular sites. As example, a customer may require low latencies and disjoint paths between two hub sites. The current model proposes to define a list of constraints that can be augmented for unicast and/or multicast traffic. For unicast traffic, the model considers that the constraints are bidirectional (same constraint from site1 to site2 and site2 to site1). For multicast, constraints are unidirectional from source to receiver. The current model supports the following constraints :
The service model sometimes refers to external information through identifiers. As an example, to order a cloud-access to a particular Cloud Service Provider (CSP), the model uses an identifier to refer to the targeted CSP. In case, a customer is using directly this service model as an API (through REST or NETCONF for example) to order a particular service, the service provider should provide a list of authorized identifiers. In case of cloud-access, the service provider will provide the identifiers associated of each available CSP. The same applies to other identifiers like std-qos-profile, oam profile-name, provider-profile for encryption ...
How SP provides those identifiers meaning to the customer is out of scope of this document.
TBD.
The proposed model supports the creation and application of configuration templates for sites.
A template can be configured by creating adding a site in the site-template list. The "site-templates" list contains only templates. Real sites are part of the "sites" list.
Multiple templates can be configured. Templates can be applied at multiple levels referenced by apply-template leaf. The apply-template references the site-id of the template to be called. The location of the apply-template within the sites hierarchy defines which parameters must be inherited. For example, if apply-template is done on site-network-access container of a site, only site-network-access container parameters (and childs) from the template will be applied.
<site-template> <site-id>Template-VoiceCoS-Cust1</site-id> <service> <qos> <qos-profile> <classes> <class> <class-id>REAL_TIME</class-id> <rate-limit>30</rate-limit> <priority-level>10</priority-level> </class> <class> <class-id>DATA1</class-id> <priority-level>5</priority-level> <guaranteed-bw-percent>80</guaranteed-bw-percent> </class> <class> <class-id>DATA2</class-id> <priority-level>5</priority-level> <guaranteed-bw-percent>20</guaranteed-bw-percent> </class> </classes> </qos-profile> </qos> </service> </site-template> <site-template> <site-id>Template-VPNsite-Customer1</site-id> <service> <qos> <qos-profile> <profile>PLATINUM</profile> </qos-profile> </qos> </service> </site-template>
Site-templates allow to define configuration blocks that will be inherited by one or multiple sites in order to speed up configuration. For example, if all the sites of an IPVPN service have the almost same configuration (routing-protocol, qos, management ...), a template can be created and each site of the VPN will reference the template. If a site has some particular parameters, specific parameters within the site MUST always override parameters derived from template.
The example above defines two site templates :
In the example below, all sites of VPN1 are inheriting basic configuration from template Template-VPNsite-Customer1. Some specific parameters like svc-input-bandwidth are also defined for each site. For Site 4 and 5 , specific QoS parameters are required, a new template Template-VoiceCoS-Cust1 is applied at service level for these two sites, overriding the service parameters from the Template-VPNsite-Customer1 template.
<site> <site-id>Site1</site-id> <apply-template>Template-VPNsite-Customer1</apply-template> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>5000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>5000000</svc-output-bandwidth> </service> </site> <site> <site-id>Site2</site-id> <apply-template>Template-VPNsite-Customer1</apply-template> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>20000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>20000000</svc-output-bandwidth> </service> </site> <site> <site-id>Site3</site-id> <apply-template>Template-VPNsite-Customer1</apply-template> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>30000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>30000000</svc-output-bandwidth> </service> </site> <site> <site-id>Site4</site-id> <apply-template>Template-VPNsite-Customer1</apply-template> <service> <apply-template>Template-VoiceCoS-Cust1</apply-template> <svc-input-bandwidth>100000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>100000000</svc-output-bandwidth> </service> </site> <site> <site-id>Site5</site-id> <apply-template>Template-VPNsite-Customer1</apply-template> <service> <apply-template>Template-VoiceCoS-Cust1</apply-template> <svc-input-bandwidth>450000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>450000000</svc-output-bandwidth> </service> </site>
As explained in Section 4, this service model is intended to be instantiated at a management layer and is not intended to be used directly on network elements. The management system serves as a central point of configuration of the overall service.
This section provides an example on how a management system can use this model to configure an IPVPN service on network elements.
The example wants to achieve the provisionning of a VPN service for 3 sites using hub and spoke topology. One of the site will be dual homed and loadsharing is expected.
+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Hub_Site ------ PE1 PE2 ------ Spoke_Site1 | | | +----------------------------------+ | | | | | +----------------------------------+ | Hub_Site ------ PE3 PE4 ------ Spoke_Site2 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
The following XML describes the overall simplified service configuration of this VPN.
<vpn-svc> <vpn-id>12456487</vpn-id> <customer-name>CUSTOMER1</customer-name> <topology>hub-spoke</topology> </vpn-svc>
When receiving the request for provisioning the VPN service, the management system will internally (or through discussion with other OSS component) allocates VPN route-targets. In this specific case two RTs will be allocated (100:1 for Hub and 100:2 for Spoke). The output below describes the configuration of Spoke1.
<site> <site-id>Spoke_Site1</site-id> <site-diversity> <type>pe-diverse</type> <site-group>100</site-group> </site-diversity> <location> <city-code>NY</city-code> <country-code>US</country-code> </location> <routing-protocols> <routing-protocol> <type>bgp</type> <bgp> <autonomous-system>500</autonomous-system> <address-family>ipv4</address-family> <address-family>ipv6</address-family> </bgp> </routing-protocol> </routing-protocols> <site-network-accesses> <site-network-access> <site-network-access-id>Spoke_Site1</site-network-access-id> <ip-connection> <ipv4> <address-allocation-type>l3vpn-svc:static-address</address-allocation-type> <addresses> <provider-address>203.0.113.254</provider-address> <customer-address>203.0.113.2</customer-address> <mask>24</mask> </addresses> </ipv4> <ipv6> <address-allocation-type>l3vpn-svc:static-address</address-allocation-type> <addresses> <provider-address>2001:db8::1</provider-address> <customer-address>2001:db8::2</customer-address> <mask>64</mask> </addresses> </ipv6> </ip-connection> <vpn-attachment> <vpn-id>12456487</vpn-id> <site-role>spoke-role</site-role> </vpn-attachment> </site-network-access> </site-network-accesses> <management> <type>provider-managed</type> </management> <service> <svc-input-bandwidth>450000000</svc-input-bandwidth> <svc-output-bandwidth>450000000</svc-output-bandwidth> </service> </site>
When receiving the request for provisioning Spoke1 site, the management system MUST allocate network resources for this site. It MUST first decide the target network elements to provision the access, and especially the PE router (and may be an aggregation switch). As described in Section 5.5, the management system SHOULD use the location information and SHOULD use the site-diversity constraint to find the appropriate PE. In this case, we consider Spoke1 requires PE diversity with Hub and that management system allocate PEs based on lowest distance. Based on the location information, the management system finds the available PEs in the nearest area of the customer and picks one that fits the site-diversity constraint.
Example of generated PE configuration : ip vrf Customer1 export-map STD-CUSTOMER-EXPORT <---- Standard SP configuration route-distinguisher 100:3123234324 route-target import 100:1 route-target import 100:5000 <---- Standard SP configuration route-target export 100:2 for provider managed !
When the PE is chosen, management system needs to allocate interface resources on the node, one interface is so picked from the PE available pool. The management system can start provisioning the PE node by using any mean (Netconf, CLI, ...). The management system will check if a VRF is already present that fits the needs. If not, it will provision the VRF : Route distinguisher will come from internal allocation policy model, route-targets are coming from the vpn-policy configuration of the site (management system allocated some RTs for the VPN). As the site is a spoke site (site-role), the management system knows which RT must be imported and exported. As the site is provider managed, some management route-targets may also be added (100:5000). Standard provider VPN policies MAY also be added in the configuration.
When the VRF has been provisioned, the management system can start configuring the access on the PE using the allocated interface information. IP addressing is chosen by the management system. One address will be picked from an allocated subnet for the PE, another will be used for the CE configuration. Routing protocols will also be configured between PE and CE and due to provider managed model, the choice is up to service provider : BGP was chosen for the example. This choice is independant of the routing protocol chosen by customer. For the CE - LAN part, bgp will be used as requested in the service model. Peering addresses will be derived from those of the connection. As CE is provider managed, CE AS number can be automatically allocated by the management system. Some provider standard configuration templates may also be added.
Example of generated PE configuration : interface Ethernet1/1/0.10 encapsulation dot1q 10 ip vrf forwarding Customer1 ip address 198.51.100.1 255.255.255.252 <---- Comes from automated allocation ipv6 address 2001:db8::10:1/64 ip access-group STD-PROTECT-IN <---- Standard SP config ! router bgp 100 address-family ipv4 vrf Customer1 neighbor 198.51.100.2 remote-as 65000 <---- Comes from automated allocation neighbor 198.51.100.2 route-map STD in <---- Standard SP config neighbor 198.51.100.2 filter-list 10 in <---- Standard SP config ! address-family ipv6 vrf Customer1 neighbor 2001:db8::0A10:2 remote-as 65000 <---- Comes from automated allocation neighbor 2001:db8::0A10:2 route-map STD in <---- Standard SP config neighbor 2001:db8::0A10:2 filter-list 10 in <---- Standard SP config ! ip route vrf Customer1 192.0.2.1 255.255.255.255 198.51.100.2 ! Static route for provider administration of CE !
As the CE router is not reachable at this stage, the management system can produce a complete CE configuration that can be uploaded to the node by manual operation before sending the CE to customer premise. The CE configuration will be built as for the PE. Based on the CE type (vendor/model) allocated to the customer and bearer information, the management system knows which interface must be configured on the CE. PE-CE link configuration is expected to be handled automatically using the service provider OSS as both resources are managed internally. CE to LAN interface parameters like IP addressing are derived from ip-connection taking into account how management system distributes addresses between PE and CE within the subnet. This will allow to produce a plug'n'play configuration for the CE.
Example of generated CE configuration : interface Loopback10 description "Administration" ip address 192.0.2.1 255.255.255.255 ! interface FastEthernet10 description "WAN" ip address 198.51.100.2 255.255.255.252 <---- Comes from automated allocation ipv6 address 2001:db8::0A10:2/64 ! interface FastEthernet11 description "LAN" ip address 203.0.113.254 255.255.255.0 <---- Comes from ip-connection ipv6 address 2001:db8::1/64 ! router bgp 65000 address-family ipv4 redistribute static route-map STATIC2BGP <---- Standard SP configuration neighbor 198.51.100.1 remote-as 100 <---- Comes from automated allocation neighbor 203.0.113.2 remote-as 500 <---- Comes from ip-connection address-family ipv6 redistribute static route-map STATIC2BGP <---- Standard SP configuration neighbor 2001:db8::0A10:1 remote-as 100 <---- Comes from automated allocation neighbor 2001:db8::2 remote-as 500 <---- Comes from ip-connection ! route-map STATIC2BGP permit 10 match tag 10 !
As expressed in Section 4, this service module is intended to be instantiated in management system and not directly on network elements.
It will be the role of the management system to configure the network elements. The management system MAY be modular, so the component instantiating the service model (let's call it service component) and the component responsible for network element configuration (let's call it configuration component) MAY be different.

In the previous sections, we provided some example of translation of service provisioning request to router configuration lines as illustration. In the NetConf/Yang ecosystem, it will be expected NetConf/YANG to be used between configuration component and network elements to configure the requested service on these elements.
In this framework, it is expected from standardization to also work on specific configuration YANG modelization of service components on network elements. There will be so a strong relation between the abstracted view provided by this service model and the detailed configuration view that will be provided by specific configuration models for network elements.
Authors of this document are expecting definition of YANG models for network elements on this non exhaustive list of items :
Example of VPN site request at service level using this model :
<site> <site-id>Site A</site-id> <site-network-accesses> <site-network-access> <ip-connection> <ipv4> <address-allocation-type>l3vpn-svc:static-address</address-allocation-type> <addresses> <provider-address>203.0.113.254</provider-address> <customer-address>203.0.113.2</customer-address> <mask>24</mask> </addresses> </ipv4> </ip-connection> <vpn-attachment> <vpn-policy-id>VPNPOL1</vpn-policy-id> </vpn-attachment> </site-network-access> </site-network-accesses> <routing-protocols> <routing-protocol> <type>static</type> <static> <cascaded-lan-prefixes> <ipv4-lan-prefixes> <lan>198.51.100.0/30</lan> <next-hop>203.0.113.2</next-hop> </ipv4-lan-prefixes> </cascaded-lan-prefixes> </static> </routing-protocol> </routing-protocols> <management> <type>customer-managed</type> </management> <vpn-policy-list> <vpn-policy> <vpn-policy-id>VPNPOL1</vpn-policy-id> <entries> <id>1</id> <vpn> <vpn-id>VPN1</vpn-id> <site-role>any-to-any-role</site-role> </vpn> </entries> </vpn-policy> </vpn-policy-list> </site>
In the service example above, it is expected that the service component requests to the configuration component of the management system the configuration of the service elements. If we consider that service component selected a PE (PE A) as target PE for the site, the configuration component will need to push the configuration to PE A. The configuration component will use several YANG data models to define the configuration to be applied to PE A. The XML configuration of PE-A may look like this :
<if:interfaces> <if:interface> <if:name>eth0</if:name> <if:type>ianaift:ethernetCsmacd</if:type> <if:description> Link to CEA. </if:description> <ip:ipv4> <ip:address> <ip:ip>203.0.113.254</ip:ip> <ip:prefix-length>24</ip:prefix-length> </ip:address> <ip:forwarding>true</ip:forwarding> </ip:ipv4> </if:interface> </if:interfaces> <rt:routing> <rt:routing-instance> <rt:name>VRF_CustA</rt:name> <rt:type>l3vpn:vrf</rt:type> <rt:description>VRF for CustomerA</rt:description> <l3vpn:route-distinguisher> 100:1546542343 </l3vpn:route-distinguisher> <l3vpn:import-rt>100:1</l3vpn:import-rt> <l3vpn:export-rt>100:1</l3vpn:export-rt> <rt:interfaces> <rt:interface> <rt:name>eth0</rt:name> </rt:interface> </rt:interfaces> <rt:routing-protocols> <rt:routing-protocol> <rt:type>rt:static</rt:type> <rt:name>st0</rt:name> <rt:static-routes> <v4ur:ipv4> <v4ur:route> <v4ur:destination-prefix> 198.51.100.0/30 </v4ur:destination-prefix> <v4ur:next-hop> <v4ur:next-hop-address> 203.0.113.2 </v4ur:next-hop-address> </v4ur:next-hop> </v4ur:route> </v4ur:ipv4> </rt:static-routes> </rt:routing-protocol> </rt:routing-protocols> </rt:routing-instance> </rt:routing>

The YANG modules defined in this document MAY be accessed via the RESTCONF protocol [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf] 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 [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf] and [RFC6241]. The client MUST carefully examine the certificate presented by the server to determine if it meets the client's expectations, and the server MUST authenticate client access to any protected resource. The client identity derived from the authentication mechanism used is subject to the NETCONF Access Control Module (NACM) ([RFC6536]). Other protocols to access this YANG module are also required to support the similar mechanism.
The data nodes defined in the "ietf-l3vpn-svc" YANG module MUST be carefully created/read/updated/deleted. The entries in the lists below include customer proprietary or confidential information, therefore only authorized clients MUST access the information and the other clients MUST NOT be able to access to the information.
