Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The IETF Softwire Working Group has developed several IPv4-in-IPv6 Softwire mechanisms to address various deployment contexts and constraints. As a companion to the architectural specification documents, this document focuses on the provisioning of softwire functional elements: Border Routers (BRs) and Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs).

This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage IPv4-in-IPv6 Softwire BRs and/or CEs via NETCONF protocol[RFC6241]. To ensure interoperability in mixed vendors environments, it is important that the models can be easily reused between different vendors and implementations.

There are three different mechanisms in this YANG model. Each specific mechanism has their separate YANG modules respectively:

This model is structured into two root containers:

  1. Container "softwire-config" holds the collection of YANG definitions common to all softwire configuration of BRs and CEs.
  2. Container "softwire-state" holds YANG definitions for the operational state of the Softwire BRs and CEs.

The model also includes a notification module. The aim is to notify the client that a specific status has been changed.

This approach has been taken so that the model can be easily extended in the future to support additional softwire mechanisms, should this be necessary.

1.1. Terminology

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].

The reader should be familiar with the terms defined in [RFC7596] [RFC7597] [RFC7599] , and the YANG data modelling language [RFC6020].

1.2. YANG Tree Diagrams

The Softwire YANG tree diagrams provide a concise representation of the YANG modules to help the reader understand the module structure. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams are as follows:

1.3. YANG Modelling of NAT44 Functionality

This documented model does not include NAT-specific provisioning parameters other than the external IP address and port set which a softwire client may use for NAT44. Additional NAT-specific considerations are out of scope of this document. A YANG model for the configuration and management of NAT gateways is described in [I-D.sivakumar-yang-nat].

2. Objectives

This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage BRs and CEs for the following IPv4-in-IPv6 Softwire mechanisms: Lightweight 4over6, MAP-E and MAP-T.

For Lightweight 4over6, the configuration and management information of lwB4 and lwAFTR are different. The lwAFTR needs to maintain a binding table of configured lwB4s. The lwB4 holds the configuration for its local tunnel, the lwAFTR address and a NAPT table of active translations.

For the MAP-E and MAP-T, CE and BR both need to maintain the map-rule table. Thus, there is no need to distinguish BR and CE.

2.1. Common

The common model abstracts the shared features of different BRs and CEs making a single node softwire description for common features.

The following sections of the document are structured with the root of the softwire YANG model (common to all mechanisms) described first. The subsequent sections describe the models relevant to the different softwire mechanisms. All functions are listed, but the YANG models use the "feature" statement to distinguish among the different softwire mechanisms.

2.2. Lightweight 4over6

Lightweight 4over6 includes two elements: lwAFTR and lwB4. The lwAFTR holds configuration for IPv4-IPv6 address bindings which is used for the forwarding of traffic originating from lwB4s. And the lwB4 is configured with the relevant parameters for establishing the IPv4 in IPv6 tunnel including an IPv6 address for the lwAFTR and the IPv4 configuration for NAPT44.

2.3. MAP-E

MAP-E elements (BR and CE) are provisioned with the MAP rules necessary for defining MAP domains and forwarding rules.

2.4. MAP-T

MAP-T elements (BR and CE) are provisioned with the MAP rules necessary for defining MAP domains and forwarding rules. MAP-T CEs an additional "ipv6-prefix" parameter is also configured.

Figure 2: Softwire Lightweight 4over6 Data Model Structure

Some of the important lwAFTR nodes:

  • binding-entry: used to define the binding relationship between 3-tuples, which contains the lwB4's IPv6 address, the allocated IPv4 address and restricted port-set. For detail information, please refer to [RFC7596].
  • tunnel-mtu: used to set the value of MTU for the Lightweight 4over6 tunnel.
  • fragment-mru: used to set the value of fragment for Lightweight 4over6 tunnel.
  • tunnel-num-threshold: used to set the maximum number of tunnels that can be created on the lw4over6 device simultaneously.
  • active-tunnel-num (ro): used to present the number of tunnels currently provisioned on the device.
  • active (ro): used to show the status of particular binding-entry.

Some of the important lwB4 nodes:

  • b4-ipv6-addr-format: indicates the format of lwB4 IPv6 address. If set to true, it indicates that the IPv6 source address of the lwB4 is constructed according to the description in [RFC7596]; if set to false, the lwB4 can use any /128 address from the assigned IPv6 prefix.
  • binding-ipv6info: used to set the IPv6 address type which is combined in a binding entry, for a complete address or a prefix.

Figure 3: Softwire MAP-E Data Model Structure

Some of the important MAP-E nodes:

  • forwarding: This parameter specifies whether the rule is to be used for forwarding (FMR). If set, this rule is used as an FMR; if not set, this rule is a BMR only and MUST NOT be used for forwarding. See Section 4.1 [RFC7598].
  • offset: used to set the number of offset bits.
  • psid: used to algorithmically identify a set of ports exclusively for a specific softwire.
  • ea-len: used to set the length of the Embedded-Address (EA), which defined in the mapping rule for a MAP domain.
  • tunnel-mtu: used to set the value of MTU for MAP-E tunnel.
  • fragment-mru: used to the value of fragment for MAP-E tunnel.
  • stat-count (ro): use to show the numbers of packets and bytes information of specific device respectively.

Figure 4: Softwire MAP-T Data Model Structure

Some of the important MAP-T nodes:

  • dmr-ipv6-prefix: defines the DMR in MAP-T. This parameter is optional when configuring a MAP-T BR.
  • stat-count (ro): use to show the numbers of packets and bytes information of specific device respectively.

3.5. Notifications for Softwire YANG

This section describes the diagram tree for the notifications. These notifications pertain to configuration and monitoring portions of specific Softwire mechanisms. The logic is that, the softwire instance notifies the NETCONF client with the index for a mapping entry and then the NETCONF client retrieves the related information from the operational datastore of that instance.

module: ietf-softwire
notifications:
   +---n softwire-lwaftr-event {lw4over6,lwaftr}?
   |  +--ro lwaftr-id?        -> /softwire-state/lw4over6/lwaftr/.../id
   |  +--ro invalid-entry*    -> /softwire-config/lw4over6/lwaftr/.../binding-table/binding-entry/binding-ipv6info
   |  +--ro added-entry*      inet:ipv6-address
   |  +--ro modified-entry*   -> /softwire-config/lw4over6/lwaftr/.../binding-table/binding-entry/binding-ipv6info
   +---n softwire-lwb4-event {lw4over6,lwb4}?
   |  +--ro lwb4-binding-ipv6-addr-change    inet:ipv6-address
   +---n softwire-map-e-event {map-e}?
   |  +--ro map-e-id            -> /softwire-config/map-e/.../id
   |  +--ro invalid-entry-id*   -> /softwire-config/map-e/.../map-rules/map-rule/id
   |  +--ro added-entry*        uint32
   |  +--ro modified-entry*     -> /softwire-config/map-e/.../map-rules/map-rule/id
   +---n softwire-map-t-event {map-t}?
      +--ro map-t-id            -> /softwire-config/map-t/.../id
      +--ro invalid-entry-id*   -> /softwire-config/map-t/.../map-rules/map-rule/id
      +--ro added-entry*        uint32
      +--ro modified-entry*     -> /softwire-config/map-t/.../map-rules/map-rule/id
          

Figure 5: Softwire Notifications Data Model Structure

Some of the important notification nodes:

  • invalid-entry, added-entry, modified-entry: used to notify the client that a specific binding entry or MAP rule is expired/invalid, added, or modified.
  • lwb4-binding-ipv6-addr-change: use to notify that the lwB4's binding-ipv6-address has been changed or the value of the 'b4-ipv6-addr-format' is "false".

    "Lightweight 4over6 (lw4over6) is an IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnelling
     transition mechanism. Lightweight 4over6 is a solution designed
     specifically for complete independence between IPv6 subnet
     prefix (and /128 IPv6 address) and IPv4 address with or 
     without IPv4 address sharing. 
     
     This is accomplished by maintaining state for
     each softwire (per-subscriber state) in the central lwAFTR and 
     a hub-and-spoke forwarding architecture. In order to delegate
     the NAPT function and achieve IPv4 address sharing, 
     port-restricted IPv4 addresses needs to be allocated to CEs.";

5. Example of Configure Lw4over6 Binding-Table

The lwAFTR maintains an address binding table which contains the following 3-tuples:

  • IPv6 Address for a single lwB4
  • Public IPv4 Address
  • Restricted port-set

The entry has two functions: the IPv6 encapsulation of inbound IPv4 packets destined to the lwB4 and the validation of outbound IPv4-in-IPv6 packets received from the lwB4 for de-capsulation.

Requirement: Add an entry that maintain the relationship between 3-tuples of lwB4 (2001::1) in binding-table, which on the lwAFTR (2001::2). The data value of this 3-tuples are '2001::1', '123.1.1.1' and '1234' respectively.

Here is the example binding-table configuration xml:

  <rpc message-id="101" 
    xmlns:nc="urn:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-softwire:1.0">
<!-- replace with IANA namespace when assigned. -->
  <edit-config>
    <target>
      <running/>
    </target>
  <softwire-config>
    <lw4over6-aftr>
      <lw4over6-aftr-instances>
        <lw4over6-aftr-instance>
          <aftr-ipv6-addr>2001::2</aftr-ipv6-addr>
          <binding-table>
            <binding-entry>
              <binding-ipv4-addr>123.1.1.1</binding-ipv4-addr>
              <port-set>
                <psid>1234</psid>
              </port-set>
              <binding-ipv6-addr>2001::1</binding-ipv6-addr>
              <active>1</active>
            </binding-entry>
          </binding-table>
        </lw4over6-aftr-instance>
      </lw4over6-aftr-instances>
    </lw4over6-aftr>
  </softwire-config>

6. Security Considerations

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

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module which are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e. config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g. edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

  • subtrees and data nodes and state why they are sensitive

Some of thereadable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g. via get, get-config or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

  • subtrees and data nodes and state why they are sensitive

7. IANA Considerations

A registry for standard YANG modules shall be set up. This document registers one URI for the YANG XML namespace in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].

  • URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:softwire
