A YANG Data Model for L2VPN Service Delivery
draft-wen-l2sm-l2vpn-service-model-04

Abstract

This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure a Layer 2 Provider Provisioned VPN service.

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, but provides an abstracted view of the Layer 2 VPN service configuration components. It is 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 data model in this document includes support for point-to-point Virtual Private Wire Services (VPWS) and multipoint Virtual Private LAN services (VPLS) that use Pseudowires signaled using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as described in RFC4761 and RFC6624.

1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG data model for Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) service configuration. This model is intended to be instantiated at management system to allow a user (a customer or an application) to request the service from a service provider. This model is not a configuration model to be used directly on network elements, but provides an abstracted view of the L2VPN service configuration components. It is 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 data model in this document includes support for point-to-point Virtual Private Wire Services (VPWS) and multipoint Virtual Private LAN services (VPLS) that use Pseudowires signaled using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as described in [RFC4761] and [RFC6624].

Further discussion of the way that services are modelled in YANG and of the relationship between "customer service models" like the one described in this document and configuration models can be found in [I-D.wu-opsawg-service-model-explained]. Section 4 and Section 6 also provide more information of how this service model could be used and how it fits into the overall modelling architecture.

1.1. Terminology

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].

1.2. Tree diagram

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is presented in Section 5.

The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows:

2. Definitions

This document uses the following terms:

Service Provider (SP):
The organization (usually a commercial undertaking) responsible for operating the network that offers VPN services to clients and customers.
Customer Edge (CE) Device:
Equipment that is dedicated to a particular customer and is directly connected to one or more PE devices via attachment circuits. A CE is usually located at the customer premises, and is usually dedicated to a single VPN, although it may support multiple VPNs if each one has separate attachment circuits. The CE devices can be routers, bridges, switches, or hosts.
Provider Edge (PE) Device:
Equipment managed by the SP that can support multiple VPNs for different customers, and is directly connected to one or more CE devices via attachment circuits. A PE is usually located at an SP point of presence (PoP) and is managed by the SP.
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS):
A VPLS is a provider service that emulates the full functionality of a traditional Local Area Network (LAN). A VPLS makes it possible to interconnect several LAN segments over a packet switched network (PSN) and makes the remote LAN segments behave as one single LAN.
Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS):
A VPWS is a point-to-point circuit (i.e., link) connecting two CE devices. The link is established as a logical through a packet switched network. The CE in the customer network is connected to a PE in the provider network via an Attachment Circuit (AC): the AC is either a physical or a logical circuit. A VPWS differs from a VPLS in that the VPLS is point-to-multipoint, while the VPWS is point-to-point. In some implementations, a set of VPWSs is used to create a multi-site L2VPN network.

3. The Layer 2 VPN Service Model

A Layer 2 VPN service is a collection of sites that are authorized to exchange traffic between each other over a shared infrastructure of a common technology. This Layer 2 VPN service model (L2SM) provides a common understanding of how the corresponding Layer 2 VPN service is to be deployed over the shared infrastructure.

This document presents the L2SM using the YANG data modeling language [RFC6020] as a formal language that is both human-readable and parsable by software for use with protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].

This service model is limited to VPWS and VPLS based VPNs as described in [RFC4761] and [RFC6624].

3.1. Applicability of the Layer 2 VPN Service Model

The L2SM defined in this document applies to both point-to-point (E-Line) and multipoint-to-multipoint (E-LAN) carrier Ethernet services.

Over the past decade, The MEF Forum (MEF) has published a series of technical specifications of Ethernet virtual circuit service attributes and implementation agreements between providers. Many Ethernet VPN service providers worldwide have adopted these MEF standards and developed backoffice tools accordingly.

Rather than introducing a new set of terminologies, the L2SM will align with existing MEF attributes when it's applicable. Therefore, service providers can easily integrate any new application that leverages the L2SM data (for example, a Service Orchestrator), with existing BSS/OSS toolsets. Service providers also have the option to generate L2SM data for current L2VPN customer circuits already deployed in the network.

3.2. Layer 2 VPN Service Types

A Layer 2 VPN circuit can be port-based, in which case any service frames received from a subscriber within the contracted bandwidth will be delivered to the corresponding remote site, regardless of the customer VLAN value (C-tag) of the incoming frame. The service frames can also be native Ethernet frames without a C-tag: in this scenario, only one Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) is allowed on a single provider to subscriber link.

Contrary to the above use case, incoming customer service frames may be split into multiple EVCs based on pre-arrangement between the service provider and customer. Typically, C-tag of the incoming frames will serve as the service delimiter for EVC multiplexing over the same provider to subscriber interconnection.

Combining the service-multiplexing attribute with the connection type (point-to-point or multipoint-to-multipoint), a Layer 2 VPN circuit may fall into one of the following service types:

3.3. Layer 2 VPN Service Network Topology

Figure 1depicts a typical service provider's physical network topology. Most service providers have deployed an IP, MPLS, or Segment Routing (SR) multi-service core infrastructure. Customer Edge (CE) devices are placed at customer premises as demarcation points that backhaul in-profile service frames from the subscriber over the access network to the Provider Edge (PE) equipment. The actual transport technology or physical topology between CE and PE is outside the scope of the L2SM model.

3.4. Layer 2 VPN Ethernet Virtual Circuit Construct

The base model of EVC is shown in Figure 3.

Subscriber edge network device (C) connects to the service provider's CE equipment. The link between C and CE devices is referred as the User Network Interface (UNI). For clarification, this is called the UNI-C on the subscriber side and UNI-N on the provider side.

The service provider is obligated to deliver the original service frame across the network to the remote UNI-C. All Ethernet and IP header information, including (but not limit to) source and destination MAC addresses, EtherType, VLAN (C-tag), Class-of-Service marking (802.1p or DSCP), etc.

In coming service frames are first examined at UNI-N based on C-tag, Class-of-Services identifier, EtherType value. Conforming packets are then metered against the contractual service bandwidth. In-profile packets will be delivered to the remote UNI via the Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC), which spans between UNI-N and UNI-N.

When both CEs are located in the same provider's network, a single operator maintains the EVC. In this case, the EVC consists only one Operator Virtual Circuit (OVC).

Typically, the CE device at customer premises is a layer 2 Ethernet switch or NID. A service provider may choose to impose an outer VLAN tag (S-tag) into the received subscriber traffic following 802.1ad Q-in-Q standard, especially when Layer 2 aggregation devices exist between CE and PE.

The uplink from CE to PE is referred as an Internal Network-to-Network Interface (I-NNI). When 802.1ad Q-in-Q is implemented, Ethernet frames from CE to PE are double tagged with both provider and subscriber VLANs (S-tag, C-tag).

Most service providers have deployed MPLS or SR multi-service core infrastructure. Ingress service frames will be mapped to either Ethernet Pseudowire (PWE) or VxLAN tunnel PE-to-PE. The details of these tunneling mechanism are at the provider's discretion and not part of the L2SM.

The service provider may also choose a Seamless MPLS approach to expand the PWE or VxLAN tunnel between UNI-N to UNI-N.

The service provider may leverage multi-protocol BGP to auto-discover and signal the PWE or VxLAN tunnel end points.

Figure 3: Architectural Model for EVC over a Single Network

Nevertheless, the remote site may be outside of the provider's service territory. In this case, the provider may partner with the operator of another metro network to provide service to the off-net location as shown in Figure 4.

The first provider owns the customer relationship, thus the end-to-end EVC. The EVC is comprised of two or more OVCs. The EVC is partially composed of an OVC from local the UNI-C to the inter-provider interface. The provider will purchase an Ethernet Access (E-Access) OVC from the second operator to deliver packet to the remote UNI-C.

The inter-connect between the two operators edge gateway (EG) devices is defined as the External Network-to-Network Interface (E-NNI).

4. Service Data Model Usage

The L2VPN service model provides an abstracted interface to request, configure, and manage the components of a L2VPN service. The model is used by a customer who purchases connectivity and other services from an SP to communicate with that SP.

A typical usage for this model is to be an input to an orchestration layer that is responsible for translating it into configuration commands for the network elements that deliver/enable the service. The network elements may be routers, but also servers (like AAA) that are necessary within the network.

The configuration of network elements may be done using the Command Line Interface (CLI), or any other configuration (or "southbound") interface such as NETCONF [RFC6241] in combination with device-specific and protocol-specific YANG models.

This way of using the service model is illustrated in Figure 5 and described in more detail in [I-D.wu-opsawg-service-model-explained]. 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 usage and structure of this model should be compared to the Layer 3 VPN service model defined in [I-D.ietf-l3sm-l3vpn-service-model].

Additionally, this data model can be compared with the service delivery models described in [I-D.ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang] and [I-D.ietf-bess-evpn-yang] as discussed in Section 6.

5. Design of the Data Model

The YANG module is divided in three main containers: customer-info, vpn-services, and sites.

The customer-info defines global parameters for a specific customer.

The vpn-svc container under vpn-services defines global parameters for the VPN service for a specific customer.

A site contains at least one port (i.e., ports providing access to the sites defined in Section 5.1.3.1.8) and there may be multiple ports in case of multihoming. The site to port attachment is done through a bearer with a Layer 2 connection on top. The bearer refers to properties of the attachment that are below layer 2 while the connection refers to layer 2 protocol oriented properties. The bearer may be allocated dynamically by the service provider and the customer may provide some constraints or parameters to drive the placement.

Authorization of traffic exchange is done through what we call a VPN policy or VPN topology defining routing exchange rules between sites.

The figure below describe the overall structure of the YANG module:

5.1. Overview of Main Components of the Model

The L2SM model is structured in a way that allows the provider to list multiple circuits of various service types for the same subscriber.

5.1.1. Customer Information

The "customer-info" container contains essential information to identify the subscriber.

"customer-account-number" is an internal alphanumerical number assigned by the service provider to identify the subscriber. It MUST be unique within the service provider's OSS/BSS system. The actual format depends on the system tool the provider uses. "customer-name" is in a more readable form.

The subscriber operation center and main contact number are also listed here for reference purpose.

5.1.2. VPN Service Overview

A vpn-service list item contains generic informations about the VPN service. The vpn-id of the vpn-service refers to an internal reference for this VPN service. This identifier is purely internal to the organization responsible for the VPN service.

A vpn-service is composed of some characteristics:

Service Type (vpn-type):
Used to indicate service Type. The identifier is a string allowing to any encoding for the local administration of the VPN service.
Ethernet Connection Service Type (eth-svc-type):
used to identify supported Ethernet Connection Service Types.
Cloud Access (cloud-access):
All sites in the L2VPN MUST be authorized to access to the cloud.The cloud-access container provides parameters for authorization rules. A cloud identifier is used to reference the target service. This identifier is local to each administration.
Service Topology (svc-topo):
Used to identify the type of VPN service topology is required for configuration.
Metro Network Partition:
Used by service provide to divide the network into several administrative domains.
VPN Signaling (vpn-signaling-option):
Defines which protocol or signaling must be activated between the subscriber and the provider.
Load Balance (load-balance-option):
Intended to capture the load-balance agreement between the subscriber and provider.
SVLAN ID Ethernet Tag:
Used to identify the service-wide "normalized S-tag".
CVLAN ID To EVC MAP:
Contains the list of customer vlans to the service mapping in a free-form format. In most cases, this will be the VLAN access-list for the inner 802.1q tags.
Service Level MAC Limit:
Contains the subscriber MAC address limit and exceeding action information.
Service Protection (svc-protection):
Capture the desired service protection agreement between subscriber and provider.

5.1.2.1. Service Type

The "svc-type" supports two service types: one for EVC (Ethernet Virtual Connection) and the other for OVC (Operator Virtual Connection). These two parameters are not mutually exclusive. Depending on the service-type, a Layer 2 VPN service may be identified by EVCtype, OVCtype, or both. E-Line and E-LAN providers shall have an EVC-ID assigned to the UNI-to-UNI circuit. If the service has remote UNIs in an off-net partner's network, there will be one OVC-ID for the on-net segment between the local UNI and the E-NNI interconnect, and one OVC-ID for each off-net segment from E-NNI to the remote UNI.

E-Access, on the other hand, is an OVC-based service. The E-Access service provider will assign an OVC-ID for the circuit between UNI and E-NNI.

New service types could be added by augmentation.

5.1.2.1.1. EVC

The "evc" case contains an "evc-id" leaf and "uni-list" container. And the "vpn-id" will be associated with the "evc-id". Only one "evc-id" is allowed for each "vpn-id". The "evc-id" leaf will be specified for E-Line and E-LAN service types. "uni-list" will specify the UNI list associated with the same EVC service.

The EVC-ID is intended to be a structured string. Each service provider can decide the nomenclature in its network. In addition, "number of PEs" and "number of sites" can be specified under the "evc" container.

5.1.2.1.2. OVC

The "ovc" case contains "ovc-list". For each "ovc-list" entry, there are two boolean subcases ("on-net" and "off-net") and one "ovc-id" leaf is specified.

For E-Access or services with off-net UNIs, the "on-net" leaf MUST be marked TRUE, and the "ovc-id" will be specified.

In case of E-Access, the "vpn-id" will be associated with the on-net "ovc-id". Only one on-net "ovc-id" is allowed for each "vpn-id".

If the service is E-Line or E-LAN with remote UNIs, there will be one, and only one, on-net "ovc-id" and a list of off-net "ovc-id" objects for the remote UNIs. However, the "vpn-id" is still associated with the "evc-id". Only one "evc-id" is allowed for each "vpn-id".

5.1.2.2. Ethernet Connection Service Type

The "ethernet-svc-type" group contains all supported Ethernet connection service types. One, and only one, "ethernet-svc-type" is selected for each "vpn-id".

The currently supported Ethernet Connection service types are listed in Section 3.2. New Ethernet Connection service types can be added in the future.

5.1.2.3. VPN Service Topology

The type of VPN service topology can be used for configuration if needed. The module currently 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, the any-to-any VPN service topology is used.

5.1.2.4. Cloud Access

This model provides cloud access configuration through the cloud-access container. The usage of cloud-access is targeted for public cloud and Internet Access. The cloud-access container provides parameters for authorization rules.

Private cloud access may be addressed through the site contianer as described in Section 5.1.3 with the use consistent with sites of type E-NNI.

A cloud identifier is used to reference the target service. This identifier is local to each administration.

5.1.2.5. Metro Network Partition

Some service providers may divide their networks into multiple administrative domains. And a Layer 2 VPN service may span across more than one metro network belonging to the same service provider. The optional "metro-network-id" container is intended be used by these multi-domain providers to differentiate intra-market versus inter-market services.

When the "inter-mkt-service" leaf is marked TRUE, multiple associated "metro-mkt-id"s will be listed. Otherwise, the service is intra-domain and only one "metro-mkt-id" is allowed.

5.1.2.6. Load Balance Option

As the subscribers start to deploy more 10G or 100G Ethernet equipment in their network, the demand for high bandwidth Ethernet connectivity services increases. Along with the great revenue opportunities, these high bandwidth service requests also pose challenges on capacity planning and service delivery in the provider's network, especially when the contractual bandwidth is at, or close to, the speed of physical links of the service provider's core network. Because of the encapsulation overhead, the provider cannot deliver the throughput in the service level agreement over a single link. Although there may be bundled Nx10G or Nx100G aggregation links between core network elements, or Equal Cost Multiple Paths (ECMP) in the network, an Ethernet-over-MPLS (EoMPLS) PWE or VxLAN circuit is considered a single flow to a router or switch which uses the normal IP five-tuples in the hashing algorithm.

Without burdening the core routers with additional processing of deep inspection into the payload, the service provider now has the option of inserting a flow or entropy label into the EoMPLS frames, or using different source UDP ports in case of VxLAN/EVPN, at ingress PE to facility load-balancing on the subsequent nodes along the path. The ingress PE is in a unique position to see the actual unencapsulated service frames and identify data flows based on the original Ethernet and IP header.

On the other hand, not all Layer 2 Ethernet VPNs are suited for load-balancing across diverse ECMP paths. For example, a Layer 2 Ethernet service transported over a single RSVP signaled Label Switched Path will not take multiple ECMP routes. Or if the subscriber is concerned about latency/jitter, then diverse path load-balancing can be undesirable.

The optional "load-balance-option" container is used to capture the load-balancing agreement between the subscriber and the provider. If the "load-balance" Boolean leaf is marked TRUE, then one of the following load-balance methods can be selected: "fat-pw", "entropy-label", or "vxlan-source-udp-port".

5.1.2.7. SVLAN ID Ethernet Tag

Service providers have the option of inserting an outer VLAN tag (the S-tag) into the service frames from the subscriber to improve service scalability and customer VLAN transparency.

Ideally, all external interfaces (UNI and E-NNI) associated with a given service will have the same S-tag assigned. However, this may not always be the case. Traffic with all attachments using different S-tags will need to be "normalized" to a single service S-tag. (One example of this is a multipoint service that involves multiple off-net OVCs terminating on the same E-NNI. Each of these off-net OVCs will have a distinct S-tag which can be different from the S-tag used in the on-net part of the service.)

The purpose of the optional "svlan-id-ethernet-tag" leaf is to identify the service-wide "normalized S-tag".

5.1.2.8. CVLAN ID To EVC MAP

When more than one service is multiplexed onto the same interface, ingress service frames are conditionally transmitted through one of the EVC/OVCs based upon pre-arranged customer VLAN to EVC mapping. Multiple customer VLANs can be bundled across the same EVC.

"cvlan-id-to-evc-map", when applicable, contains the list of customer vlans to the service mapping in a free-form format. In most cases, this will be the VLAN access-list for the inner 802.1q tag (the C-tag).

5.1.2.9. Service Level MAC Limit

When multiple services are provided on the same network element, the MAC address table (and the Routing Information Base space for MAC-routes in the case of EVPN) is a shared common resource. Service providers may impose a maximum number of MAC addresses learned from the subscriber for a single service instance, and may specify the action when the upper limit is exceeded: drop the packet, flood the packet, or simply send a warning log message.

For point-to-point services, if MAC learning is disabled then the MAC address limit is not necessary.

The optional "service-level-mac-limit" container contains the subscriber MAC address limit and information to describe the action when the limit is exceeded.

5.1.2.10. Service Protection

Sometimes the subscriber may desire end-to-end protection at the service level for applications with high availability requirements. There are two protection schemes to offer redundant services:

  • 1+1 protection: In this scheme, the primary EVC or OVC will be protected by a backup EVC or OVC, typically meeting certain diverse path/fiber/site/node criteria. Both primary and protection circuits are provisioned to be in the active forwarding state. The subscriber may choose to send the same service frames across both circuits simultaneously.
  • 1:1 protection: In this scheme, a backup circuit to the primary circuit is provisioned. Depending on the implementation agreement, the protection circuits may either always be in active forwarding state, or may only become active when a faulty state is detected on the primary circuit.

The optional "service-protection" container is used to capture the desired service protection agreement between subscriber and provider.

An "peer-evc-id" should be specified when the "protection-model" has been set.

5.1.3. site

The "site" container is used for the provider to store information of detailed implementation arrangements made with either the subscriber or peer operators at each inter-connect location.

We are restricting the L2SM to exterior interfaces only, so all internal interfaces and the underlying topology are outside the scope of L2SM.

There are two possible types of external facing connections associated with an Ethernet VPN service. These give rise to two different types of site at which the connection is made:

  • UNI site: where a customer edge device connects to one or more VPN services.
  • E-NNI site: where two Ethernet service providers inter-connect with each other.

Most of the attributes of a site are common to the two typs of site and so are presented just once. Divergences (that is, attributes that are specific to the type of site) are captured in type-dependent containers. In the text that follows, the phrase "between the subscriber and the provider" is used to follow the more common case of a UNI site, but should also be taken to apply to "between two providers" in the E-NNI case.

For each site, there are sub-containers to maintain physical link attributes, service frame and Layer 2 control protocol frame disposition, Ethernet service OAM attributes, and agreements for service bandwidth profiles and priority levels.

5.1.3.1. Generic Site Objects

Typically, the following characteristics of a site interface handoff need to be documented as part of the service design:

Unique identifier (site-id):
An arbitrary string to uniquely identify the site within the overall network infrastructure. The format of site-id is determined by the local administration of the VPN service.
Site Type (site-type):
Defines the way the VPN multiplexing is done.
Device (device):
The customer can request one or more customer premise equipments from the service provider for a particular site.
Management (management):
Defines the model of management of the site, for example: type, management-transport, address.
Location (location):
The site location information to allow easy retrieval of data on which are the nearest available resources.
Site diversity (site-diversity):
Presents some parameters to support site diversity.
Site signaling (signaling-options):
Defines which protocol or signaling must be activated between the subscriber and the provider.
Load balancing (load-balance-options):
Defines the load-balancing agreement information between the subscriber and provider.
Site Network Accesses (ports):
Defines the list of ports to the sites and their properties: especially bearer, connection and service parameters.

5.1.3.1.1. Site ID

The "site-id" leaf contains an arbitrary string to uniquely identify the site within the overall network infrastructure. The format of the site-id is determined by the local administration of the VPN service.

5.1.3.1.2. Site Management

The "management" sub-container is intended for site management options, depending on the device ownership and security access control. The followings are three common management models:

CE Provider Managed:
The provider has the sole ownership of the CE device. Only the provider has access to the CE. The responsibility boundary between SP and customer is between CE and customer network. This is the most common use case.
CE Customer Managed:
The customer has the sole ownership of the CE device. Only the customer has access to the CE. In this model, the responsibility boundary between SP and customer is between PE and CE.
CE Co-managed:
The provider has ownership of the CE device and responsible for managing the CE. However, the provider grants the customer access to the CE for some configuration/monitoring purposes. In this co-managed mode, the responsibility boundary is the same as for the provider-managed model.

The selected management mode is specified under the "type" leaf. The "address" leaf stores CE device management IP information. And the "management-transport" leaf is used to identify the transport protocol for management traffic: IPv4 or IPv6. Additional security options may be derived based on the particular management model selected.

5.1.3.1.3. Site Location

The information in the "location" sub-container under a "site" allows easy retrieval of data about which are the nearest available facilities and can be used for access topology planning. It may also be used by other network orchestration component to choose the targeted upstream PE. Location is expressed in terms of postal information.

5.1.3.1.4. Site Diversity

Some subscribers may request upstream PE diversity between two or more sites. These sites will share the same diversity group ID under the optional "site-diversity" sub-container.

5.1.3.1.5. Site Security

This sub-container presents parameters for ingress service stream admission control and encryption profile information. It is also a placeholder for further site-security options that may be added by augmentation.

5.1.3.1.6. Site signaling Option

The "signaling-option" container captures service-wide attributes of the L2VPN instance.

Although topology discovery or network device configuration is purposely out of scope for the L2SM model, certain VPN parameters are listed here. The information can then be passed to other elements in the whole automation eco-system (such as the configuration engine) which will handle the actual service provisioning function.

The "signaling-option" list uses the combination of "name" and "type" as the key. The "name" leaf is a free-form string of the VPN instance name. The "type" leaf is for the signaling protocol: BGP-L2VPN, BGP-EVPN, or T-LDP.

5.1.3.1.6.1. BGP L2VPN

[RFC4761] and [RFC6624] describe the mechanism to auto-discover L2VPN VPLS/VPWS end points (CE-ID or VE-ID) and signal the label base and offset at the same time to allow remote PE to derive the VPN label to be used when sending packets to the advertising router.

Due to the way auto-discovery operates, PEs that have at least one attachment circuit associated with a particular VPN service do not need to be specified explicitly.

In the L2SM model, only the target community (or communities) are listed at the service level.

The "type" leaf under "mp-bgp-l2vpn" is an identityref to specify "vpws" or "vpls" sub-types.

5.1.3.1.6.2. BGP EVPN

Defined in [RFC7432], EVPN is an L2VPN technology based upon BGP MAC routing. It provides similar functionality to BGP VPWS/VPLS with improvement around redundancy, multicast optimization, provisioning, and simplicity.

Due to the way auto-discovery operates, PEs that have at least one attachment circuit associated with a particular VPN service do not need to be specified explicitly.

In the L2SM model, only the target community (or communities) are listed at the service level.

The "type" leaf under "mp-bgp-evpn" is an identityref to specify "vpws" or "vpls" sub-types.

5.1.3.1.6.3. LDP Pseudowires

[RFC4762] specifies the method of using targeted LDP sessions between PEs to exchange VC label information. This requires a configured full mesh of targeted LDP sessions between all PEs.

As multiple attachment circuits may terminate on a single PE, this PE-to-PE mesh is not a per-site attribute. All PEs related to the L2VPN service will be listed in the "t-ldp-pwe" with associated "vc-id".

5.1.3.1.6.4. PWE Encapsulation Type

Based on [RFC4448], there are two types of Ethernet services: "Port-to-Port Ethernet PW emulation" and "Vlan-to-Vlan Ethernet PW emulation", commonly referred to as Type 5 and Type 4 respectively. This concept applies to both BGP L2VPN VPWS/VPLS and T-LDP signaled PWE implementations.

The "pwe-encapsulation-type" container contains two Boolean type leaves: "ethernet" and "ethernet-vlan". If "signaling-option" is "mp-bgp-l2vpn" or "t-ldp-pwe", then exactly one of "ethernet" and "ethernet-vlan" MUST be marked TRUE .

5.1.3.1.6.5. PWE MTU

During the signaling process of a BGP-L2VPN or T-LDP pseudowire, the pwe-mtu value is exchanged and must match at both ends. By default, the pwe-mtu is derived from physical interface MTU of the attachment circuit minus the EoMPLS transport header. In some cases, however, the physical interface on both ends of the circuit might not have identical MTU settings. For example, due to 802.1ad q-in-q operation, an I-NNI will need an extra four bytes to accommodate the S-tag. The inter-carrier E-NNI link may also have a different MTU size than the internal network interfaces.

[RFC4448] requires the same MTU size on physical interfaces at both ends of the pseudowire. In actual implementations, many router vendors have provided a knob to explicitly specify the pwe-mtu, which can then be decoupled from the physical interface MTU.

When there is a mismatch between the physical interface MTU and configured pwe-mtu, the "allow-mtu-mismatch" leaf in the "pwe-mtu" contained enables definition of the required behavior.

5.1.3.1.6.6. Control Word

A control word is an optional 4-byte field located between the MPLS label stack and the Layer 2 payload in the pseudowire packet. It plays a crucial role in Any Transport over MPLS (AToM). The 32-bit field carries generic and Layer 2 payload-specific information, including a C-bit which indicates whether the control word will present in the Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) packets. If the C-bit is set to 1, the advertising PE expects the control word to be present in every pseudowire packet on the pseudowire that is being signaled. If the C-bit is set to 0, no control word is expected to be present.

Whether to include control word in the pseudowire packets MUST match on PEs at both ends of the pseudowire and it is non-negotiable during the signaling process.

The use of a control-word applies to pseduowires signaled using either BGP L2VPN VPWS/VPLS or T-LDP. It is a routing-instance level configuration parameter in many cases.

The optional "control-word" leaf is a Boolean field in the L2SM model for the provider to explicitly specify whether the control-word will be signaled for the service instance.

5.1.3.1.7. Site Load Balance Options

See Section 5.1.2.6.

5.1.3.1.8. Ports

The L2SM includes a set of essential physical interface properties and Ethernet layer characteristics in the "port" sub-container. Some of these are critical implementation arrangements that require consent from both subscriber and provider.

5.1.3.1.8.1. ID

"id" is a free-form string to identify a given interface. The service provider can decide on the actual nomenclature used in the management systems.

5.1.3.1.8.2. Remote Carrier Name

Remote Carrier Name is the Name of Remote Carrier associated with the remote end of an E-NNI and so only applies for that type of VPN connectivity.

5.1.3.1.8.3. Access Diversity

In order to help the different placement scenarios, a site-network-access (i.e., port defined in Section 5.1.3.1.8) may be tagged using one or more fate sharing group identifiers. The fate sharing group identifier is a string so it can accommodate both explicit naming of a group of sites (e.g. "multihomed-set1") or a numbered identifier (e.g. 12345678). The meaning of each group-id is local to each customer administrator.

5.1.3.1.8.4. Bearer

The "bearer" container defines the requirements for the site attachment to the provider network that are below Layer 3.

The bearer parameters will help to determine the access media to be used.

5.1.3.1.8.5. Ethernet Connection

The ethernet-connection container presents two sets of link attributes: physical or optional LAG interface attributes. These parameters are essential for the connection between subscriber and provider edge devices to establish properly.

For each physical interface (phy-interface), there are basic configuration parameters like port number and speed, interface MTU, auto-negotiation and flow-control settings, etc. "encapsulation- type" is for user to select between Ethernet encapsulation (port-based) or Ethernet VLAN encapsulation (VLAN-based). All allowed Ethertypes of ingress service frames can be listed under "ethertype". In addition, the subscriber and provider may decide to enable advanced features, such as LLDP, 802.3AH link OAM, MAC loop detection/prevention at a UNI, based on mutual agreement.

Sometimes, the subscriber may require multiple physical links bundled together to form a single, logical, point-to-point LAG connection to the service provider. Typically, LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is used to dynamically manage adding or deleting member links of the aggregate group. In general, LAG allows for increased service bandwidth beyond the speed of a single physical link while providing graceful degradation as failure occurs, thus increased availability.

In the L2SM, there is a set of attributes under "LAG-interface" related to link aggregation functionality. The subscriber and provider first need to decide on whether LACP PDU will be exchanged between the edge device by specifying the "LACP-state" to "On" or "Off". If LACP is to be enabled, then both parties need to further specify whether it will be running in active versus passive mode, plus the time interval and priority level of the LACP PDU. The subscriber and provider can also determine the minimum aggregate bandwidth for a LAG to be considered valid path by specifying the optional "mini-link" attribute. To enable fast detection of faulty links, micro-BFD runs independent UDP sessions to monitor the status of each member link. Subscriber and provider should consent to the BFD hello interval and hold time.

Each member link will be listed under the LAG interface with basic physical link properties. Certain attributes like flow-control, encapsulation type, allowed ingress Ethertype and LLDP settings are at the LAG level.

If the Ethernet service is enabled on a logical unit on the connection at the interface, the "sub-if-id" should be specified.

The "Ethernet-connection" container also presents site specific (S-tag, C-tag) management options. The overall S-tag for the Ethernet circuit and C-tag to EVC mapping, if applicable, has been placed in the service container. The S-tag under "port" should match the S-tag in the service container in most cases, however, vlan translation is required for the S-tag in certain deployment at the external facing interface or upstream PEs to "normalize" the outer VLAN tag to the service S-tag into the network and translate back to the site's S-tag in the opposite direction. One example of this is with a Layer 2 aggregation switch along the path: the S-tag for the EVC has been previously assigned to another service thus can not be used by this attachment circuit. Another use case is when multiple E-access OVCs from the same E-NNIs are attached to the same E-LAN service.

The "svlan-id-ethernet-tag" in the "Ethernet-connection" container is either the S-tag inserted at a UNI or the outer tag of ingress packets at an E-NNI. These parameters are included in the L2SM to facilitate other management system to generate proper configuration for the network elements.

The "ethernet-connection" container also contains an optional site-specific C-tag to EVC mapping.

5.1.3.1.8.6. EVC MTU

The maximum MTU of subscriber service frames can be derived from the physical interface MTU by default, or specified under the "evc-mtu" leaf if it is different than the default number.

5.1.3.1.8.7. MAC Address Limit

The service provider may choose to impose a per-attachment circuit "mac-addr-limit" in addition to the service-level MAC limit, and specify the behavior when the limit is exceeded accordingly.

5.1.3.1.8.8. Availability

EVPN supports PE geo-redundancy in the access domain. The connection between a multi-homed CE to PE is identified with a uniquely assigned ID referred as an Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI). Because a learned MAC address is propagated via BGP, it allows for multiple active paths in forwarding state and for load-balancing options.

The "availability" container contains ESI and redundancy mode attributes for an EVPN multi-homing site.

5.1.3.1.8.9. L2CP-Control

To facilitate interoperability between different Multiple System Operators (MSOs), the MEF has provided normative guidance on Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) processing requirements for each service type. Subscriber and provider should make pre- arrangement on whether to allow interaction between the edge device or keep each other's control plane separate on a per-protocol basis.

The destination MAC addresses of these L2CP PDUs fall within two reserved blocks specified by the IEEE 802.1 Working Group. Packet with destination MAC in these multicast ranges have special forwarding rules.

  • Bridge Block of Protocols: 01-80-C2-00-00-00 through 01-80-C2-00-00-0F
  • MRP Block of Protocols: 01-80-C2-00-00-20 through 01-80-C2-00-00-2F

Layer 2 protocol tunneling allows service providers to pass subscriber Layer 2 control PDUs across the network without being interpreted and processed by intermediate network devices. These L2CP PDUs are transparently encapsulated across the MPLS-enabled core network in Q-in-Q fashion.

The "L2CP-control" container contains the list of commonly used L2CP protocols and parameters. The service provider can specify DISCARD, PEER, or TUNNEL mode actions for each individual protocol.

In addition, "provider-bridge-group" and "provider-bridge-mvrp" addresses are also listed in the L2CP container.

5.1.3.1.8.10. Service

The "service" container defines service parameters associated with the site.

5.1.3.1.8.10.1. Bandwidth

The service bandwidth refers to the bandwidth requirement between PE and CE. The requested bandwidth is expressed as svc-input-bandwidth and svc-output-bandwidth. Input/output direction is using customer site as reference: input bandwidth means download bandwidth for the site, and output bandwidth means upload bandwidth for the site.

The service bandwidth is only configurable at the site-network-access level (i.e., for the port associated with the site).

Using a different input and output bandwidth will allow service provider to know if a customer allows for asymmetric bandwidth access like ADSL. It can also be used to set a rate-limit in a different way for upload and download on symmetric bandwidth access.

The bandwidth container may also include a "cos-id" parameter. If the "cos-id" is not present within the bandwidth container, the bandwidth is per evc, which provides rate enforcement for all ingress service frames at the interface that are associated with a particular EVC.

If the "cos-id" is present, the bandwidth is per CoS, which provides rate enforcement for all service frames for a given class of service. The class of service is identified via a CoS identifier. So this bandwidth profile applies to service frames over an EVC with a particular CoS value. Multiple input/output-bandwidthper-cos-id can be associated with the same EVC.

5.1.3.1.8.10.2. QoS

The model defines QoS parameters as an abstraction:

  • qos-classification-policy: Defines a set of ordered rules to classify customer traffic.
  • qos-profile: Provides a QoS scheduling profile to be applied.

5.1.3.1.8.10.2.1. QoS Classification

In MEF 23.2 ([MEF-23-2]) three types of model are defined as the following:

Class-of-Service Identifier based on EVC or OVC EP (End Point):
In this model, regardless of customer marking, all in-profile frames will be marked with the service level in the contractual agreement. Customer CoS markings are preserved throughout the provider network. The bandwidth profile consists of one set of CIR/CBS and EIR/EBS values.
Class-of-Service Identifier based on Priority Code Point:
Using this model, multiple classes of services can be associated with a single customer EVC, identified by dot1p bits in the C-tag. Each service level has its own individual bandwidth profile. Out-of-profile packets will be discarded. Customer CoS markings are preserved.
Class-of-Service Identifier based on DSCP:
Using this model, multiple classes of service can be associated with a single customer EVC, identified by DSCP bits in the IP header. Each service level has its own individual bandwidth profile. Out-of-profile packets will be discarded. Customer CoS markings are preserved.

Similarly, the cos-color-id can be assigned based on EVC or OVC EP, dot1p value in C-tag, or DSCP in IP header. Ingress service frames are metered against the bandwidth profile based on the cos-identifier. A "color" will be assigned to a service frame to identify its bandwidth profile conformance. A service frame is "green" if it is conformant with "committed" rate of the bandwidth profile. A Service Frame is "yellow" if it is exceeding the "committed" rate but conformant with the "excess" rate of the bandwidth profile. Finally, a service frame is "red" if it is conformant with neither the "committed" nor "excess" rates of the bandwidth profile.

Ingress/egress-bandwidth-profile-per-evc presents the ingress/egress bandwidth profile per EVC, providing rate enforcement for all ingress service frames at the interface that are associated with a particular EVC.

Alternately, ingress/egress-bandwidth-profile-per-cos-id presents the ingress/egress bandwidth profile per CoS, providing rate enforcement for all service frames for a given class of service. The class of service is identified via a CoS identifier. So this bandwidth profile applies to service frames over an EVC with a particular CoS value. Multiple ingress/egress-bandwidth-profile-per-cos-id can be associated with the same EVC.

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 physical port reference or a more specific flow definition (based layer 2 source and destination MAC address, cos,dscp,cos-id, color-id etc.). When a flow definition is used, the user can use a target-sites leaf- list to identify the destination of a flow rather than using destination addresses. A rule that does not have a match statement is considered as a match-all rule. A service provider may implement a default terminal classification rule if the customer does not provide it. It will be up to the service provider to determine its default target class.

5.1.3.1.8.10.2.2. QoS Profile

User can choose between standard profile provided by the operator or a custom profile. The qos-profile defines the traffic scheduling policy to be used by the service provider.

A custom qos-profile is defined as a list of class of services and associated properties. The properties are:

  • byte-offset: The optional "byte-offset" indicates how many bytes in the service frame header are excluded from rate enforcement.
  • rate-limit: Used to rate-limit the class of service. The value is expressed as a percentage of the global service bandwidth. When the qos-profile is implemented at CE side the svc-output-bandwidth is taken into account as reference. When it is implemented at PE side, the svc-input-bandwidth is used.
  • frame-delay: Used to define the latency constraint of the class. The latency constraint can be expressed as the lowest possible latency or a latency boundary expressed in milliseconds. How this latency constraint will be fulfilled is up to the service provider implementation: a strict priority queueing may be used on the access and in the core network, and/or a low latency routing may be created for this traffic class.
  • frame-jitter: Used to define the jitter constraint of the class. The jitter constraint can be expressed as the lowest possible jitter or a jitter boundary expressed in microseconds. How this jitter constraint will be fulfilled is up to the service provider implementation: a strict priority queueing may be used on the access and in the core network, and/or a jitter-aware routing may be created for this traffic class.

5.1.3.1.8.11. Security Filtering

5.1.3.1.8.11.1. BUM Strom Control

For point-to-point E-LINE services, the provider only needs to deliver a single copy of each service frame to the remote PE, regardless whether the destination MAC address of the incoming frame is unicast, multicast or broadcast. Therefore, all in-profile service frames should be delivered unconditionally.

B-U-M (Broadcast-UnknownUnicast-Multicast) frame forwarding in multipoint-to-multipoint services, on the other hand, involves both local flooding to other attachment circuits on the same PE and remote replication to all other PEs, thus consumes additional resources and core bandwidth. Special B-U-M frame disposition rules can be implemented at external facing interfaces (UNI or E-NNI) to rate-limit the B-U-M frames, in term of number of packets per second or bits per second.

The threshold can apply to all B-U-M traffic, or one for each category.

5.1.3.1.8.11.2. MAC Loop Protection

MAC address flapping between different physical ports typically indicates a bridge loop condition in the subscriber network. Misleading entries in the MAC cache table can cause service frames to circulate around the network indefinitely and saturate the links throughout the provider's network, affecting other services in the same network. In case of EVPN, it also introduces massive BGP updates and control plane instability.

The service provider may opt to implement a switching loop prevention mechanism at the external facing interfaces for multipoint-to-multipoint services by imposing a MAC address move threshold.

The MAC move rate and prevention-type options are listed in the "mac-loop-prevention" container.

5.1.3.1.8.11.3. Service Level MAC Limit

See Section 5.1.2.10.

5.1.3.1.8.12. Ethernet Service OAM

The advent of Ethernet as a wide-area network technology brings additional requirements of end-to-end service monitoring and fault management in the carrier network, particularly in the area of service availability and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). Ethernet Service OAM in the L2SM refers to the combined protocol suites of IEEE 802.1ag ([IEEE-802-1ag]) and ITU-T Y.1731 ([ITU-T-Y-1731]).

Generally speaking, Ethernet Service OAM enables service providers to perform service continuity check, fault-isolation, and packet delay/jitter measurement at per customer per EVC granularity. The information collected from Ethernet Service OAM data sets is complementary to other higher layer IP/MPLS OSS tools to ensure the required service level agreements (SLAs) can be meet.

The 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) functional model is structured with hierarchical maintenance domains (MDs), each assigned a unique maintenance level. Higher level MDs can be nested over lower level MDs. However, the MDs cannot intersect. The scope of each MD can be solely within a subscriber's network, solely within the provider's network, interact between the subscriber-to-provider or provider-to-provider edge equipment, or tunnel over another provider's network.

Depending on the use case scenario, one or more maintenance end points (MEPs) can be placed on the external facing interface, sending CFM PDUs towards the core network (UP MEP) or downstream link (DOWN MEP).

The "cfm-802.1-ag" sub-container under "port" currently presents two types of CFM maintenance association (MA): UP MEP for UNI-N to UNI-N Maintenance Association (MA) and DOWN MEP for UNI-N to UNI-C MA. For each MA, the user can define the maintenance domain ID (MAID), MEP level, MEP direction, remote MEP ID, CoS level of the CFM PDUs, Continuity Check Message (CCM) interval and hold time, alarm priority defect, CCM priority-type, etc.

ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring (PM) provides essential network telemetry information that includes the measurement of Ethernet service frame delay, frame delay variation, frame loss, and frame throughput. The delay/jitter measurement can be either one-way or two-way. Typically, a Y.1731 PM probe sends a small amount of synthetic frames along with service frames to measure the SLA parameters.

The "y-1731" sub-container under "port" contains a set of parameters for use to define the PM probe information, including MAID, local and remote MEP-ID, PM PDU type, message period and measurement interval, CoS level of the PM PDUs, loss measurement by synthetic or service frame options, one-way or two-way delay measurement, PM frame size, and session type.

6. Interaction with Other YANG Modules

As expressed in Section 4, this service module is not intended to configure the network element, but is instantiated in a management system.

The management system might follow modular design and comprise at least two different components:

  1. The component instantiating the service model (let's call it the service component)
  2. The component responsible for network element configuration (let's call it the configuration component)

In some cases, when a split is needed between the behavior and functions that a customer requests and the technology that the network operator has available to deliver the service [I-D.wu-opsawg-service-model-explained], a new component can be separated out of the service component (let's call it the control component). This component is responsible for network-centric operation and is aware of many features such as topology, technology, and operator policy. As an optional component, it can use the service model as input and is not required at all if the control component delegates its control operations to the configuration component.

In Section 7 we provide some example of translation of service provisioning requests to router configuration lines as an illustration. In the NETCONF/YANG ecosystem, it is expected that NETCONF and YANG will be used between the configuration component and network elements to configure the requested service on those elements.

In this framework, it is expected that YANG models will be used for configuring service components on network elements. There will be a strong relationship 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 such as those defined in [I-D.ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang] and [I-D.ietf-bess-evpn-yang]. Service components needing configuration on network elements in support of the service model defined in this document include:

  • VRF definition including VPN policy expression.
  • Physical interface.
  • Ethernet layer (VLAN ID).
  • QoS: classification, profiles, etc.
  • Signaling Options: support of configuration of all protocols listed in the document, as well as vpn policies associated with these protocols.
  • Ethernet Service OAM Support.

7. Service Model Usage Example

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 L2VPN service on network elements.

The example is for of a VPN service for 3 sites using point-to-point EVC and a Hub and Spoke VPN service topology as shown in Figure 7. Loadbalancing is not considered in this case.

The following XML describes the overall simplified service configuration of this VPN.

When receiving the request for provisioning the VPN service, the management system will internally (or through communication with another OSS component) allocates VPN route-targets. In this specific case two Route Taregts (RTs) will be allocated (100:1 for Hubs and 100:2 for Spokes). The output below describes the configuration of Spoke UNI Site1.

When receiving the request for provisioning Spoke1 site, the management system MUST allocate network resources for this site. It MUST first determine the target network elements to provision the access, and especially the PE router (and may be an aggregation switch). As described in Section 5.1.3.1.3, the management system SHOULD use the location information and SHOULD use the access-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 access- diversity constraint.

When the PE is chosen, the management system needs to allocate interface resources on the node. One interface is selected 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.

            
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
!
            
          

Example of generated PE configuration:

When the VRF has been provisioned, the management system can start configuring the access on the PE using the allocated interface information. The VLAN tag is chosen by the management system. One VLAN tag will be picked from an allocated subnet for the PE, another will be used for the CE configuration. LACP protocols will also be configured between PE and CE and due to provider managed model, the choice is up to service provider. This choice is independent of the LACP protocol chosen by customer.

Example of generated PE configuration:

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 dot1Q tag are derived from the ethernet-connection taking into account how management system distributes dot1Q tag between PE and CE within subnet. This will allow to produce a plug'n'play configuration for the CE.

9. Security Considerations

The YANG modules defined in this document MAY be accessed via the RESTCONF protocol [RFC8040] 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 [RFC8040] 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-l2vpn-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.

  • /l2vpn-svc/customer-info/customer-info
  • /l2vpn-svc/vpn-services/vpn-svc
  • /l2vpn-svc/sites/site

Thanks to Qin Wu and Adrian Farrel for facilitating work on the initial revisions of this document.

This document has drawn on the work of the L3SM Working Group expressed in [I-D.ietf-l3sm-l3vpn-service-model].

11. IANA Considerations

IANA is requested to assign a new URI from the IETF XML registry ([RFC3688]). The following URI is suggested:

            
    URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2vpn-svc
    Registrant Contact: L2SM WG
    XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace
            
        

This document also requests a new YANG module name in the YANG Module Names registry ([RFC6020]) with the following suggestion:

            
    name: ietf-l2vpn-svc
    namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2vpn-svc
    prefix: l2vpn-svc
    reference: RFC XXXX
