Table of Contents

1. Introduction

YANG [RFC6020] [RFC6087] is a data definition language that was introduced to model the configuration and running state of a device managed using NETCONF [RFC6241]. YANG is now also being used as a component of wider management interfaces, such as CLIs.

This document defines a draft YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) devices. Currently this model is incomplete, but it will support the core PIM protocol, as well as many other features mentioned in separate PIM RFCs. Non-core features are defined as optional in the provided data model.

1.1. 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 BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

1.2. Terminology

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC6020].

This draft employs YANG tree diagrams, which are explained in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6087bis].

2. Design of Data Model

2.1. Scope of model

The model covers PIM Sparse Mode [RFC4601], including the Source-Specfic subset [RFC3569], Dense Mode [RFC3973], and Bi-directional PIM [RFC5015].

The PIM extensions represented in the model include BSR [RFC5059] and Anycast RP [RFC4610].

The representation of some of these features is not completely specified in this draft of the data model. This model is being circulated in its current form for early oversight and review of the basic hierarchy.

This model does not cover other multicast protocols such as IGMP/MLD, MSDP, mVPN, or m-LDP in-band signalling. It does not cover any configuration required to generate the MRIB. These will be covered by future Internet Drafts.

2.2. Optional capabilities

This model is designed to represent the capabilities of PIM devices with various specifications, including some with basic subsets of the PIM protocol. Since a design goal of this draft is to define a data model that is capable of representing all of these implementations, these modules declare a number of features representing capabilities that not all deployed devices support.

The extensive use of feature declarations should substantially simplify the capability negotiation process for a vendor's PIM implementation.

For the same reason, wide constant ranges (for example, timer maxima and minima) will be used in the model. It is expected that vendors will augment the model with any specific restrictions that might be required. Vendors may also extend the features list with proprietary extensions.

2.3. Top-level structure

This model defines several separate modules for modelling PIM configuration, defined below. Again, this separation will make it easier to express the specific capabilities of a PIM device.

The hierarchy of PIM configuration is designed so that objects that are only relevant for one situation or feature are collected in a container for that feature. For example, the configuration for PIM-SM that is not relevant for an SSM-only implementation is collected in an ASM container.

Where fields are not genuinely essential to protocol operation, they are marked as optional. Some fields will be essential but have a default specified, so they need not be explicitly configured.

3. Unresolved Issues

3.1. Current status of work in progress

The model so far details how the PIM modules interact and covers the higher levels of their hierarchy. Some details of interface configuration, RP configuration, and PIM-ASM-specific parameters are also complete.

For a list of the most substantial areas still to cover, please see the "TODO list" section below.

3.2. Position of address family in hierarchy

The current draft (1) has an address-family container at a high level in the hierarchy of the model, with an interface list as a child object. This is a similar structure to the draft OSPF YANG model. There is ongoing discussion about this decision in the design team, so this may be considered unresolved.

An alternative structure (2) would be for the address family to be a sub- list of the interface object. We would then provide interface configuration objects at both an address family-specific and a non-AF-specific level, exposing both options as mutually-exclusive features. This would be a similar structure to the IS-IS YANG draft.

Another option (3) would be to expose both sets of objects, address-family specific and all-address-family, both exposed as features. Vendors could then advertise support for one or other of the features. This is the approach taken in this draft for entity-scoped parameters like graceful restart configuration.

The advantages of (1) over (2) are that interface objects effectively represent {interface, address-family} pairs, which is in line with several existing implementations. Expressing interface-scoped configuration that is also address family dependent is made much easier using this model.

It also may be useful to be able to configure router-wide options on an address-family basis, which would be more inconvenient if address family were a child object of the interface list. At least one deployed implementation allows configuration of basic router-scoped concepts on an address family basis.

The main disadvantage of (1) compared to (2) is for implementations that configure interfaces on an address-family-independent basis with one set of configuration. This is true of some existing vendors' implementations, as PIM has a single specification for IPv4 and IPv6 address families, and for these implementations the structure (2) is more natural. For some interface parameters there is no clear use-case for address-family-specific configuration.

For these implementations, the restriction that interface configuration must be address-family independent must be expressed somehow. This can be done in various ways; perhaps the easiest is a constraint of a form similar to:

must “. = ../../address-family[address-family='ipv4']/ interface[interface=current()/sibling:interface]/dr-priority” { error-app-tag dr-priority-mismatch; error-message "Error: IPv6 DR priority must match IPv4 DR priority "; }

Conversely, if (2) were adopted, an implementation that allowed address- family-specific configuration would have to make augmentations to the base model in order to express that flexibility. Those augmentations would not be particularly difficult to make, however.

The advantage of (3) over (1) or (2) is that no such vendor augmentations or constraints would be required. It is likely that vendors' requirements under models (1) or (2) would be similar enough that option (3) would cover all needs in this area.

The advantage of (1) or (2) over (3) is just that the model is simpler and leaner, and that feature negotiation is simpler and easier to understand.

3.3. RP configuration tree

This draft of the model provides a module (currently called pim-rp) which is used for group range mapping configuration. Though some of this configuration is only relevant for some PIM modes, the pim-rp structure itself is independent of the PIM mode structures.

The main advantage of this structure is that it substantially simplifies the representation of the mapping algorithm from a specific group address to its PIM mode and configuration. Validation is also easier, as only the pim-rp module itself needs to be checked if there is another entry with a conflicting or inconsistent group prefix.

There are also some advantages to this approach in non-duplication of configuration parameters that are specific to multiple PIM modes, such as BSR.

The current name of this module is pim-rp, as it is roughly analogous to the pimStaticRPTable in the PIM MIB, and it is currently indexed by RP.

However, as it is used for some group-range-scoped configuration not directly related to RPs, and because a single RP address might need two rows in the table (for SM and BI-DIR), it might be better to call this something like pim-group-mapping and index it on group range. This is still under discussion.

3.4. Passive mode

This draft contains an interface leaf 'passive', indicating that no PIM protocol messages are to be sent on the interface.

For some implementations, there is a closely related concept, configurable on a PIM-mode basis, that an interface is not used to run the PIM protocol and also not used for multicast forwarding. This may be used to restrict dense-mode flooding, for example. This will likely be included as a feature in a future draft, but the details are under discussion.

4. Module Structure

4.1. PIM base module

The PIM base module defines the router-wide configuration options not specific to any PIM mode, and is included by the other modules. There are a couple of things worth mentioning here regarding where the PIM model fits in the overall routing hierarchy:

  1. Our current direction is to agree to a routing-instance-centric (VRF) model as opposed to protocol-centric mainly because it fits well into the routing-instance model, and it is easier to map from the VRF-centric to the protocol-centric than the other way around due to forward references.
  2. The PIM base model will augment "/rt:routing/rt:routing-instance/ rt:routing-protocols:” as opposed to augmenting "/rt:routing/ rt:routing-instance/rt:routing-protocols:/rt:routing-protocol” as the latter would allow multiple protocol instances per VRF, which does not make sense for PIM.

4.2. PIM RP module

The PIM RP module contains configuration information scoped to ranges of group addresses. This does not belong in the hierarchy under any PIM mode, as it is how group ranges are assigned to PIM modes.

Some of the content of the module, however, is only relevant to some modes (for example, BSR is only relevant to ASM and BIDIR). This is clarified in the module itself using "if-feature" and "when" statements.

6. TODO list

In this draft, several aspects of the model are incomplete. The PIM-DM and BI-DIR modules are just placeholders for now to demonstrate the hierarchy of the model. Other things the draft will include when complete but does not yet include:

For these subjects, we will employ the same design principles of expressing a highly general model; vendors may use features and add augmentations in order to express which subsets of this general model are valid in their implementations.

7. Security Considerations

The data model defined does not introduce any security implications.

This draft does not change any underlying security issues inherent in [I-D.ietf-netmod-routing-cfg].

8. IANA Considerations

TBD
