YANG Network Instances
draft-ietf-rtgwg-ni-model-05
This document defines a network instance module. This module can be used to manage the virtual resource partitioning that may be present on a network device. Examples of common industry terms for virtual resource partitioning are Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances and Virtual Switch Instances (VSIs).

This document defines the second of two new modules that are defined to support the configuration and operation of network-devices that allow for the partitioning of resources from both, or either, management and networking perspectives. Both leverage the YANG functionality enabled by YANG Schema Mount [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].
The first form of resource partitioning provides a logical partitioning of a network device where each partition is separately managed as essentially an independent network element which is 'hosted' by the base network device. These hosted network elements are referred to as logical network elements, or LNEs, and are supported by the logical-network-element module defined in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model]. That module is used to identify LNEs and associate resources from the network-device with each LNE. LNEs themselves are represented in YANG as independent network devices; each accessed independently. Examples of vendor terminology for an LNE include logical system or logical router, and virtual switch, chassis, or fabric.
The second form, which is defined in this document, provides support for what is commonly referred to as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances as well as Virtual Switch Instances (VSI), see [RFC4026] and [RFC4664]. In this form of resource partitioning, multiple control plane and forwarding/bridging instances are provided by and managed via a single (physical or logical) network device. This form of resource partitioning is referred to as a Network Instance and is supported by the network-instance module defined below. Configuration and operation of each network-instance is always via the network device and the network-instance module.
One notable difference between the LNE model and the NI model is that the NI model provides a framework for VRF and VSI management. This document envisions the separate definition of VRF and VSI, i.e., L3 and L2 VPN, technology specific models. An example of such can be found in the emerging L3VPN model defined in [I-D.ietf-bess-l3vpn-yang] and the examples discussed below.
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].
Readers are expected to be familiar with terms and concepts of YANG [RFC7950] and YANG Schema Mount [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].
This document uses the graphical representation of data models defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams].
The top open issues are:
In this document, we consider network devices that support protocols and functions defined within the IETF Routing Area, e.g, routers, firewalls, and hosts. Such devices may be physical or virtual, e.g., a classic router with custom hardware or one residing within a server-based virtual machine implementing a virtual network function (VNF). Each device may sub-divide their resources into logical network elements (LNEs) each of which provides a managed logical device. Examples of vendor terminology for an LNE include logical system or logical router, and virtual switch, chassis, or fabric. Each LNE may also support virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) and virtual switching instance (VSI) functions, which are referred to below as a network instances (NIs). This breakdown is represented in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Module Element Relationships
A model for LNEs is described in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] and the model for NIs is covered in this document in Section 3.
The current interface management model [RFC7223] is impacted by the definition of LNEs and NIs. This document and [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] define augmentations to the interface module to support LNEs and NIs.
The network instance model supports the configuration of VRFs and VSIs. Each instance is supported by information that relates to the device, for example the route target used when advertising VRF routes via the mechanisms defined in [RFC4364], and information that relates to the internal operation of the NI, for example for routing protocols [RFC8022] and OSPF [I-D.ietf-ospf-yang]. This document defines the network-instance module that provides a basis for the management of both types of information.
NI information that relates to the device, including the assignment of interfaces to NIs, is defined as part of this document. The defined module also provides a placeholder for the definition of NI-technology specific information both at the device level and for NI internal operation. Information related to NI internal operation is supported via schema mount [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] and mounting appropriate modules under the mount point. Well known mount points are defined for L3VPN, L2VPN, and L2+L3VPN NI types.
The network instance container is used to represent virtual routing and forwarding instances (VRFs) and virtual switching instances (VSIs). VRFs and VSIs are commonly used to isolate routing and switching domains, for example to create virtual private networks, each with their own active protocols and routing/switching policies. The model supports both core/provider and virtual instances. Core/provider instance information is accessible at the top level of the server, while virtual instance information is accessible under the root schema mount points.
The NI model can be represented using the tree format defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams] as:
module: ietf-network-instance +--rw network-instances +--rw network-instance* [name] +--rw name string +--rw enabled? boolean +--rw description? string +--rw (ni-type)? +--rw (root-type) +--:(vrf-root) | +--mp vrf-root +--:(vsi-root) | +--mp vsi-root +--:(vv-root) +--mp vv-root augment /if:interfaces/if:interface: +--rw bind-ni-name? -> /network-instances/network-instance/name augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4: +--rw bind-ni-name? -> /network-instances/network-instance/name augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6: +--rw bind-ni-name? -> /network-instances/network-instance/name notifications: +---n bind-ni-name-failed +--ro name -> /if:interfaces/interface/name +--ro interface | +--ro bind-ni-name? | -> /if:interfaces/interface/ni:bind-ni-name +--ro ipv4 | +--ro bind-ni-name? | -> /if:interfaces/interface/ip:ipv4/ni:bind-ni-name +--ro ipv6 | +--ro bind-ni-name? | -> /if:interfaces/interface/ip:ipv6/ni:bind-ni-name +--ro error-info? string
A network instance is identified by a 'name' string. This string is used both as an index within the network-instance module and to associate resources with a network instance as shown above in the interface augmentation. The ni-type and root-type choice statements are used to support different types of L2 and L3 VPN technologies. The bind-ni-name-failed notification is used in certain failure cases.
The network-instance module is structured to facilitate the definition of information models for specific types of VRFs and VSIs using augmentations. For example, the information needed to support VPLS, VxLAN and EVPN based L2VPNs are likely to be quite different. Example models under development that could be restructured to take advantage on NIs include, for L3VPNs [I-D.ietf-bess-l3vpn-yang] and for L2VPNs [I-D.ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang].
Documents defining new YANG models for the support of specific types of network instances should augment the network instance module. The basic structure that should be used for such augmentations include a case statement, with containers for configuration and state data and finally, when needed, a type specific mount point. Generally ni types, are expected to not need to define type specific mount points, but rather reuse one of the well known mount point, as defined in the next section. The following is an example type specific augmentation:
augment "/ni:network-instances/ni:network-instance/ni:ni-type" { case l3vpn { container l3vpn { ... } container l3vpn-state { ... } } }
YANG Schema Mount, [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount], identifies mount points by name within a module. This definition allows for the definition of mount points whose schema can be shared across ni-types. As discussed above, ni-types largely differ in the configuration information needed in the core/top level instance to support the NI, rather than in the information represented within an NI. This allows the use of shared mount points across certain NI types.
The expectation is that there are actually very few different schema that need to be defined to support NIs on an implementation. In particular, it is expected that the following three forms of NI schema are needed, and each can be defined with a well known mount point that can be reused by future modules defining ni-types.
The three well known mount points are:
Future model definitions should use the above mount points whenever possible. When a well known mount point isn't appropriate, a model may define a type specific mount point via augmentation.
The following is an example of an L3VPN VRF using a hypothetical augmentation to the networking instance schema defined in [I-D.ietf-bess-l3vpn-yang]. More detailed examples can be found in Appendix B.
module: ietf-network-instance +--rw network-instances +--rw network-instance* [name] +--rw name string +--rw enabled? boolean +--rw description? string +--rw (ni-type)? | +--:(l3vpn) | +--rw l3vpn:l3vpn | | ... // config data | +--ro l3vpn:l3vpn-state | | ... // state data +--rw (root-type) +--:(vrf-root) +--mp vrf-root +--ro rt:routing-state/ | +--ro router-id? yang:dotted-quad | +--ro control-plane-protocols | +--ro control-plane-protocol* [type name] | +--ro ospf:ospf/ | +--ro instance* [af] +--rw rt:routing/ | +--rw router-id? yang:dotted-quad | +--rw control-plane-protocols | +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name] | +--rw ospf:ospf/ | +--rw instance* [af] | +--rw areas | +--rw area* [area-id] | +--rw interfaces | +--rw interface* [name] | +--rw name if:interface-ref | +--rw cost? uint16 +--ro if:interfaces@ | ... +--ro if:interfaces-state@ | ...
This shows YANG Routing Management [RFC8022] and YANG OSPF [I-D.ietf-ospf-yang] as mounted modules. The mounted modules can reference interface information via a parent-reference to the containers defined in [RFC7223].
Interfaces are a crucial part of any network device's configuration and operational state. They generally include a combination of raw physical interfaces, link-layer interfaces, addressing configuration, and logical interfaces that may not be tied to any physical interface. Several system services, and layer 2 and layer 3 protocols may also associate configuration or operational state data with different types of interfaces (these relationships are not shown for simplicity). The interface management model is defined by [RFC7223].
As shown below, the network-instance module augments the existing interface management model by adding a name which is used on interface or sub-interface types to identify an associated network instance. Similarly, this name is also added for IPv4 and IPv6 types, as defined in [RFC7277].
The following is an example of envisioned usage. The interfaces container includes a number of commonly used components as examples:
module: ietf-interfaces +--rw interfaces | +--rw interface* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw ip:ipv4! | | +--rw ip:enabled? boolean | | +--rw ip:forwarding? boolean | | +--rw ip:mtu? uint16 | | +--rw ip:address* [ip] | | | +--rw ip:ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone | | | +--rw (ip:subnet) | | | +--:(ip:prefix-length) | | | | +--rw ip:prefix-length? uint8 | | | +--:(ip:netmask) | | | +--rw ip:netmask? yang:dotted-quad | | +--rw ip:neighbor* [ip] | | | +--rw ip:ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone | | | +--rw ip:link-layer-address yang:phys-address | | +--rw ni:bind-network-instance-name? string | +--rw ni:bind-network-instance-name? string
The [RFC7223] defined interface model is structured to include all interfaces in a flat list, without regard to virtual instances (e.g., VRFs) supported on the device. The bind-network-instance-name leaf provides the association between an interface and its associated NI (e.g., VRF or VSI). Note that as currently defined, to assign an interface to both an LNE and NI, the interface would first be assigned to the LNE using the mechanisms defined in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] and then within that LNE's interface module, the LNE's representation of that interface would be assigned to an NI.
Modules that may be used to represent network instance information will be available under the ni-type specific 'root' mount point. The use-schema mechanism defined as part of the Schema Mount module [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] MUST be used with the module defined in this document to identify accessible modules. A future version of this document could relax this requirement. Mounted modules in the non-inline case SHOULD be defined with access, via the appropriate schema mount parent-references [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount], to device resources such as interfaces. An implementation MAY choose to restrict parent referenced information to information related to a specific instance, e.g., only allowing references to interfaces that have a "bind-network-instance-name" which is identical to the instance's "name".
All modules that represent control-plane and data-plane information may be present at the 'root' mount point, and be accessible via paths modified per [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount]. The list of available modules is expected to be implementation dependent, as is the method used by an implementation to support NIs.
For example, the following could be used to define the data organization of the example NI shown in Section 3.1.2:
"ietf-yang-schema-mount:schema-mounts": { "mount-point": [ { "module": "ietf-network-instance", "label": "vrf-root", "use-schema": [ { "name": "ni-schema", "parent-reference": [ "/*[namespace-uri() = 'urn:ietf:...:ietf-interfaces']" ] } ] } ], "schema": [ { "name": "ni-schema", "module": [ { "name": "ietf-routing", "revision": "2016-11-04", "namespace": "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-routing", "conformance-type": "implement" }, { "name": "ietf-ospf", "revision": "2017-03-12", "namespace": "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ospf", "conformance-type": "implement" } ] } ] }
Module data identified under "schema" will be instantiated under the mount point identified under "mount-point". These modules will be able to reference information for nodes belonging to top-level modules that are identified under "parent-reference". Parent referenced information is available to clients via their top level paths only, and not under the associated mount point.
"namespace": [ { "prefix": "if", "uri": "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces" }, { "prefix": "ni", "uri": "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-network-instance" } ], "mount-point": [ { "parent-reference": [ "/if:interfaces/if:interface [ni:bind-network-instance-name = current()/../ni:name]", "/if:interfaces-state/if:interface [if:name = /if:interfaces/if:interface [ni:bind-ni-name = current()/../ni:name]/if:name]", "/if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4 [ni:bind-network-instance-name = current()/../ni:name]", "/if:interfaces-state/if:interface/ip:ipv4 [if:name = /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4 [ni:bind-ni-name = current()/../ni:name]/if:name]", "/if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6 [ni:bind-network-instance-name = current()/../ni:name]", "/if:interfaces-state/if:interface/ip:ipv6 [if:name = /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4 [ni:bind-ni-name = current()/../ni:name]/if:name]", ] } ],
To allow a client to understand the previously mentioned instance restrictions on parent referenced information, an implementation MAY represent such restrictions in the "parent-reference" leaf-list. For example:
Network instances may be controlled by clients using existing list operations. When a list entry is created, a new instance is instantiated. The models mounted under an NI root are expected to be dependent on the server implementation. When a list entry is deleted, an existing network instance is destroyed. For more information, see [RFC7950] Section 7.8.6.
Once instantiated, host network device resources can be associated with the new NI. As previously mentioned, this document augments ietf-interfaces with the bind-ni-name leaf to support such associations for interfaces. When a bind-ni-name is set to a valid NI name, an implementation MUST take whatever steps are internally necessary to assign the interface to the NI or provide an error message (defined below) with an indication of why the assignment failed. It is possible for the assignment to fail while processing the set operation, or after asynchronous processing. Error notification in the latter case is supported via a notification.
There are two different sets of security considerations to consider in the context of this document. One set is security related to information contained within mounted modules. The security considerations for mounted modules are not substantively changed based on the information being accessible within the context of an NI. For example, when considering the modules defined in [RFC8022], the security considerations identified in that document are equally applicable, whether those modules are accessed at a server's root or under an NI instance's root node.
The second area for consideration is information contained in the NI module itself. NI information represents network configuration and route distribution policy information. As such, the security of this information is important, but it is fundamentally no different than any other interface or routing configuration information that has already been covered in [RFC7223] and [RFC8022].
The vulnerable "config true" parameters and subtrees are the following:
Unauthorized access to any of these lists can adversely affect the routing subsystem of both the local device and the network. This may lead to network malfunctions, delivery of packets to inappropriate destinations and other problems.

The following subsections provide example uses of NIs.
The following shows an example where two customer specific network instances are configured:
{ "ietf-network-instance:network-instances": { "network-instance": [ { "name": "vrf-red", "vrf-root": { "ietf-routing:routing": { "router-id": "192.0.2.1", "control-plane-protocols": { "control-plane-protocol": [ { "type": "ietf-routing:ospf", "name": "1", "ietf-ospf:ospf": { "instance": [ { "af": "ipv4", "areas": { "area": [ { "area-id": "203.0.113.1", "interfaces": { "interface": [ { "name": "eth1", "cost": 10 } ] } } ] } } ] } } ] } } } }, { "name": "vrf-blue", "vrf-root": { "ietf-routing:routing": { "router-id": "192.0.2.2", "control-plane-protocols": { "control-plane-protocol": [ { "type": "ietf-routing:ospf", "name": "1", "ietf-ospf:ospf": { "instance": [ { "af": "ipv4", "areas": { "area": [ { "area-id": "203.0.113.1", "interfaces": { "interface": [ { "name": "eth2", "cost": 10 } ] } } ] } } ] } } ] } } } } ] }, "ietf-interfaces:interfaces": { "interfaces": { "interface": [ { "name": "eth0", "ip:ipv4": { "address": [ { "ip": "192.0.2.10", "prefix-length": 24, } ] } }, { "name": "eth1", "ip:ipv4": { "address": [ { "ip": "192.0.2.11", "prefix-length": 24, } ] }, "ni:bind-network-instance-name": "vrf-red" }, { "name": "eth2", "ip:ipv4": { "address": [ { "ip": "192.0.2.11", "prefix-length": 24, } ] }, "ni:bind-network-instance-name": "vrf-blue" } ] } }, "ietf-system:system": { "authentication": { "user": [ { "name": "john", "password": "$0$password" } ] } } }
The following shows state data for the example above.
