1. Introduction

Network operators perform the capacity planning for their networks
and run regular what-if scenarios analysis based on representations
of the real network. Those what-if analysis and capacity planning
processes require, among other information, a topological view
(domains, nodes, links, network interconnection) of the deployed
network.

This document defines a YANG data model representing an abstracted
view of a network topology containing Intermediate System to
Intermediate System (IS-IS). It covers the topology of IP/MPLS

Dios, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 2]

Internet-Draft IS-IS Topology YANG October 2023

networks running IS-IS as Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) protocol.
The proposed YANG mode augments the "A YANG Data Model for Network
Topologies" [RFC8345] and"A YANG Data Model for Layer 3 Topologies"
[RFC8346] by adding IS-IS concepts. This YANG data model is used to
export the IS-IS related topology directly from a network controller
to an Operation Support System (OSS) tools.

Note that the YANG model is in this document strictly adheres to the
concepts (and the YANG module) in "A YANG Data Model for Network
Topologies" [RFC8345] and"A YANG Data Model for Layer 3 Topologies"
[RFC8346]. While investigating the IS-IS topology, some limitations
have discovered in [RFC8345], regarding how the digital map can be
represented. Those limitations (and potential improvements) are
covered in [I-D.draft-havel-opsawg-digital-map].

This document explains the scope and purpose of the IS-IS topology
model and how the topology and service models fit together. The YANG
data model defined in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture [RFC8342].

1.1. Terminology and Notations

This document assumes that the reader is familiar with IS-IS and the
contents of [RFC8345]. The document uses terms from those documents.

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC7950], [RFC8795] and [RFC8346].

The term Digital Twin, Digital Map, Digital Map Modelling, Digital
Map Model, Digital Map Data, and Topology are specified in
[I-D.draft-havel-opsawg-digital-map].

1.2. Requirements Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
[RFC2119], [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.

1.3. Tree Diagram

Authors include a simplified graphical representation of the data
model is used in Section 5 of this document. The meaning of the
symbols in these diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].

1.4. Prefix in Data Node Names

In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects
are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the
corresponding YANG imported modules, as shown in the following table.

Table 1: Prefixes and corresponding YANG
modules

RFC Editor Note: Please replace XXXX with the RFC number assigned to
this document. Please remove this note.

2. Use Cases

This information is required in the IP/MPLS planning process to
properly assess the required network resources to meet the traffic
demands in normal and failure scenarios. Network operators perform
the capacity planning for their networks and run regular what-if
scenarios analysis based on representations of the real network.
Those what-if analysis and capacity planning processes require, among
other information, a topological view (domains, nodes, links, network
interconnection) of the deployed network.

The standardization of an abstracted view of the IS-IS topology model
as NorthBound Interface (NBI) of Software Defined Networking (SDN)
controllers allows the inject this information into third party tools
covering specialized cases.

The IS-IS topological model should export enough IS-IS information to
permit these tools simulating the IP routing. By adding the traffic
demand, ideally at the IP flow level, we can simulate the traffic
growth and its effect on the routing. That is, simulating how IP-
level traffic demands would be forwarded, after IS-IS convergence is
reached, and from there estimating, using appropriate mathematical
models, related KPIs like the occupation in the links or end-to-end
latencies.

In summary, the network-wide view of the IS-IS topology enables
multiple use cases:

Dios, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 4]

Internet-Draft IS-IS Topology YANG October 2023

* Network design: verifying that the actual deployed IS-IS network
conforms to the planned design

* Failure analysis. Systematic and massive test of the network
under multiple simulated failure situations, evaluating the
network fault tolerance properties, and using mathematical models
to derive statistical network availability metrics.

* What-if analysis. Estimation of the network KPIs in modified
network situations. For instance, failure situations, traffic
anomaly situations, addition or deletion of new adjacencies, IGP
weight reconfigurations.

* Capacity planning. Dimensioning or redesign of the IP
infrastructure to satisfy target KPI metrics under existing or
forecasted traffic demands.

2.1. Relationship with the IS-IS YANG Model

[RFC9130] specifies a YANG data model that can be used to configure
and manage the IS-IS protocol on network elements. This data model
covers the configuration of an IS-IS routing protocol instance, as
well as the retrieval of IS-IS operational states. [RFC9130] is
still expected to be used for individual network elements
configuration and monitoring. On the other hand, the proposed YANG
model in this document covers the abstracted view of the entire
network topology containing IS-IS. As such, this model is available
via the NBI of SDN controllers.

2.2. Relationship with Digital Map

As described in [I-D.draft-havel-opsawg-digital-map], the Digital Map
provides the core multi-layer topology model and data for the digital
twin and connects them to the other digital twin models and data.

The Digital Map Modelling defines the core topological entities,
their role in the network, core properties, and relationships both
inside each layer and between the layers.

The Digital Map Model is a basic topological model that is linked to
other functional parts of the digital twin and connects them all:
configuration, maintenance, assurance (KPIs, status, health,
symptoms), Traffic Engineering (TE), different behaviors and actions,
simulation, emulation, mathematical abstractions, AI algorithms, etc.

Dios, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 5]

Internet-Draft IS-IS Topology YANG October 2023

As such the IGP topology of the Digital Map (in this case, IS-IS) is
just one of the layers of the Digital Map, for specific user (the
network operator in charge of the IGP) for specific IGP use cases as
described before.

3. Use of IETF-Topology for Representing an IP/MPLS network domain

IP/MPLS Networks can contain multiple domain IGP domains. We can
define an IGP domain as the collection of nodes and links that
participate in the same IGP process. The topology information of a
domain can be structured according to ietf-network-topology data
model [RFC8345]. For example, if BGP-LS is used to collect the
information, the nodes and links that are announced with the same
combination of AS number / domain ID are considered to belong to the
same domain.

If a node and/or layer termination point participates in more than
one IGP it will be present in multiple IGP domain networks.

The ietf-network instance MUST include the following properties to
indicate it is a domain running an IGP instance:

A network-id that uniquely identifies such domain in the network.
The "network-types" property should include the l3t:l3-unicast-
topology, to indicate it is a network in which the nodes are capable
of forwarding unicast packet. Also, this draft proposed to add a new
property, "isis-topology", to indicate the topology being represented
is running the IS-IS IGP process.

Also, should the topology include information such as bandwidth,
delay information or color, it must include tet:te-topology. To
include delay and bandwdith performance measurements , MUST include
tet-pkt:te-packet under the previous property The supporting-network
property can include the network-id of a base layer-3 network. The
node property should include the list of nodes as described below.
The ietf-network-topology:link MUST be present, with one link per
each IP adjacency (one link for each direction of the adjancency).

4. YANG Data Model for IS-IS Topology

The abstract (base) network data model is defined in the "ietf-
network" and "ietf-network-topology" modules of [RFC8345]. The L3
topology module is defined in the "ietf-l3-unicast-topology" module
of [RFC8346]. The ietf-l3-isis-topology builds on the data models
defined in [RFC8345] and [RFC8346], augmenting the nodes with IS-IS
information.

Dios, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 6]

Internet-Draft IS-IS Topology YANG October 2023

There is a set of parameters and augmentations that are included at
the node level. Each parameter and description are detailed
following:

* Network-types: Its presence identifies the IS-IS topology type.
Thus, the network type MUST be isis-topology.

* IS-IS timer attributes: Identifies the node timer attributes
configured in the network element. They are LSP lifetime and the
LSP refresh interval.

* IS-IS status: contains the IS-IS status attributes (level, area-
address and neighbours).

The following figure is based on the Figure 1 from [RFC8346], where
the example-ospf-topology is replaced with ietf-l3-isis-topology and
where arrows show how the modules augment each other.

Figure 1: IS-IS Topology module structure

There are some limitations in the [RFC8345] that are explained in
more detail in [I-D.draft-havel-opsawg-digital-map]. The current
version of the ietf-l3-isis-topology module is based on the current
version of [RFC8345]. The following will be addressed when [RFC8345]
is extended to support the identified limitations:

* Both IS-IS domain and IS-IS areas could be modelled as networks

Dios, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 7]

Internet-Draft IS-IS Topology YANG October 2023

* The IS-IS Areas will be connected via IS-IS links

* IS-IS nodes could belong to multiple IS-IS networks

There is a set of parameters and augmentations that are included at
the network level.

* Network-types: Its presence identifies the IS-IS topology type.
Thus, the network type MUST be isis-topology.

There is a set of parameters and augmentations that are included at
the node level. Each parameter and description are detailed
following:

* IS-IS node core attributes: contains the IS-IS core attributes
(system-id, level, area-address).

* IS-IS timer attributes: Identifies the node timer attributes
configured in the network element. They are LSP lifetime and the
LSP refresh interval.

There is a set of parameters and augmentations that are included at
the link level. Each parameter and description are detailed
following:

* IS-IS link level. The level must be the same as the termination
points at each end for Level 1 and Level 2 interfaces. There may
be 2 links between the Level1-2 IS-IS interfaces, one for Level 1
adjacency and one for Level 2 adjacency.

* IS-IS link metric. Added on top of metric1 and metric2 of the l3-
link-attributes

There is a set of parameters and augmentations are included at the
termination point level. Each parameter is listed as follows:

* Interface-type: point-to point or braodcast

* Level. The level must be the same as for the node, except when
node is Level 1-2 and the interfaces can only be Level 1 or Level
2.

* Passive mode

7. Security Considerations

The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
as NETCONF {!RFC6241}} or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF
layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement
secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest
RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is TLS [RFC8446].

The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or
RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or
RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that 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.

Appendix A. Implementation Status

Note to the RFC-Editor: Please remove this section before publishing.

A.1. Implementation Status in Telefonica Group

The Yang based topology model proposed in this draft is being used
today in one of the Telefonica operations to export the Multi-vendor
IP/MPLS topology based on multiple IS-IS domains to several Operation
Support System tools for visualization, capacity planning and
simulation. A commercial controller has implemented the exposure of
the information. It is one of the building blocks to expose the
network capabilities, together with other models which cover the
inventory and service provisioning in a vendor-agnostic fashion.

A.2. Huawei Digital Map PoC Status

As mentioned in [I-D.draft-havel-opsawg-digital-map], a Digital Map
PoC with a real lab has been built, based on multi- vendor devices,
with [RFC8345] as the base YANG module for the topology building
blocks. This PoC successfully modelled IS-IS routing (among other
technologies and layers), but it needs to be further aligned with
this latest developments in this draft.

A.3. Implementation Status in E-lighthouse Network Solutions

E-lighthouse Network Solutions (https://e-lighthouse.com/)
implementation is consuming the IS-IS network topology information
exported by a commercial controller, using the Yang model proposed in
this draft. It is able to simulate the network behavior under
different changes, covering the what-if, failure analysis,
dimensioning and other use cases mentioned in this draft.
