            YANG extension Statements for formulae modeling
                    draft-srivastav-netmod-formulae-00

Abstract


   Operational data can be divided into multiple categories like i)
   state data, ii) raw performance counter, iii) Derived/calculated
   Counters by arithmetic operation on raw performance counters also
   referred as KPIs. Existing YANG built-in-types only define the way to
   model the state data and raw performance counters but have no
   provision for modelling derived performance counters representing an
   equivalent of a simple mathematical formula.

   This document define extensions for the modeling language YANG as new
   language statements, which introduce a method to model KPIs aka
   mathematical expression in YANG data modeling language and describes
   the syntax and semantics of newly added .

   As KPIs require limited number of mathematical operations viz. +, /,
   -, *,minimum, maximum, summation are needed. Hence, +, /, -,
   *,minimum, maximum, summation are needed. Hence, our proposal is to
   enhance YANG to support formula based nodes for these basic
   arithmetic operations. YANG is enhanced to model KPI formulae with
   basic arithmetic operations.

Internet-Draft                                            September 2017


1. Introduction and Overview

   YANG is a data modeling language originally designed to model
   configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration
   Protocol (NETCONF), NETCONF Remote Procedure Calls, and NETCONF
   notifications [RFC6241].
   This document define and describes the syntax and semantics of new
   YANG extension statements for expression modelling.
   In future, telco's will be moving towards highly automated
   virtualized network to get lesser vender dependency and to have
   freedom to change and deploy services dynamically in less time. To do
   that they need good statistics and highly adaptable analytics engine
   that can adapt KPIs for new/changed services. They can not wait to
   get analytic engine changed to support new/Change service. To achieve
   that kind of automation and less time to market in service deployment
   in telco network, formula modelling in yang is necessary. In summary
   Formula modelling in standard helps to develop generic/highly
   adaptable Analytics Engine framework for future Telco network which
   learns the formula on fly and apply on received statistics.
   Note that this document does not obsolete RFC 6020 [RFC6020].

2.  NETCONF Enhancement

   To support mathematical exprssion with enhanced YANG DML, NETCONF
   protocol should be enhanced to parse and understand the newly added,
   enhanced extension statements as described in below sections.
   NETCONF protocol should exchange its mathematical expression
   capabilty with client establishing session.

3. MATH types Statements

   This draft proposes definition of math type extension statement using
   YANG extension and method to model mathematical expression using
   those new defined statements.

3.1. The "mt:math" Statement

   This statement allows a module or submodule to define a mathematical
   expression in a schema tree. It takes one argument, which is an
   identifier, followed by a block of substatements that holds detailed
   mathematical expression. This node is always root of mathematical
   expression tree in YANG.

3.6. The "mt:summation" Statement

   This statement allows a module or submodule to define a Summation
   node in a schema tree of mathematical expression. It takes one
   argument, which is an identifier, followed by a block of
   substatements that holds detailed mathematical expression.

   substatement of this statement can only be of type leafref.Range of
   mt:summation index will be the range of refered leaf.

3.7. The "mt:min" Statement

   This statement allows a module or submodule to define a Minimum node
   in a schema tree of mathematical expression. It takes one argument,
   which is an identifier, followed by a block of substatements that
   holds detailed mathematical expression i.e set of nodes which
   reference to other node.
   Minimum is done on a set of values. There are three categories of
   sets : 1. Set consist different leafs. 2. Set consist different
   values of a leaf defined in a list. 3. Set consist intermediate
   values of a leaf. By modeling this server/application can learn
   that minimum of respective values to be calculated and should be
   marked as minimum when server/application defined event occurs.

   value of a leaf and to be committed on application defined event.It

   A YANG module can be translated into an alternative XML-based syntax

   section describes symmetric mapping rules between the two formats.
   The YANG and YIN formats contain equivalent information using
   different notations.  The YIN notation enables developers to
   represent YANG data models in XML and therefore use the rich set of
   XML-based tools for data filtering and validation, automated
   generation of code and documentation, and other tasks.  Tools like
   XSLT or XML validators can be utilized.
   The mapping between YANG and YIN does not modify the information
   content of the model. Comments and whitespace are not preserved.

3.13.  XML Mapping Rules

      A NETCONF server that replies to a <get> or <get-config> request
      may choose to not send newly added nodes and its subnodes
      if does not have the leaf nodes which can hold a data.

5. IANA Considerations

   This document registers one  URIs in the IETF XML registry.
   IANA   registered the following URIs, according to [RFC3688]:
   URI: "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-math-types"

   This document registers one module name in the
   "YANG Module Names" registry, defined in [RFC6020].
         name: ietf-math-types

         namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-math-types

         prefix: mt

6. Security Considerations

   The YANG module "math-types" in this memo defines YANG
   extensions for math types new language statements.

   math types themselves do not have any security impact
   on the Internet.
