1. Introduction
The IETF has specified YANG modules for VPN services, e.g., the Layer
3 VPN Service Model (L3SM) [RFC8299] or the Layer 2 VPN Service Model
(L2SM) [RFC8466]. Other relevant YANG data models are the Layer 3
VPN Network Model (L3NM) [RFC9182] and the Layer 2 VPN Network Model
(L2NM) [L2NM-YANG]. There are common data nodes and structures that
are present in all of these models or at least a subset of them.
This document defines a common YANG module that is meant to be reused
by various VPN-related modules such as the L3NM [RFC9182] and the
L2NM [L2NM-YANG]: "ietf-vpn-common" (Section 4).
The "ietf-vpn-common" module includes a set of identities, types, and
groupings that are meant to be reused by other VPN-related YANG
modules independently of their layer (e.g., Layer 2, Layer 3) and the
type of the module (e.g., network model, service model), including
possible future revisions of existing models (e.g., the L3SM
[RFC8299] or the L2SM [RFC8466]).
2. Terminology
The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC7950].
The meanings of the symbols in tree diagrams are defined in
[RFC8340].
The reader may refer to [RFC4026] and [RFC4176] for VPN-related
terms.
This document inherits many terms from [RFC8299] and [RFC8466] (e.g.,
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency
Communications (URLLC), Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC)).
3. Description of the VPN Common YANG Module
The "ietf-vpn-common" module defines a set of common VPN-related
features, including the following:
Encapsulation features, such as the following:
* dot1Q [IEEE802.1Q],
* QinQ [IEEE802.1ad],
* link aggregation [IEEE802.1AX], and
* Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networks (VXLANs) [RFC7348].
Multicast [RFC6513].
Routing features, such as the following:
* BGP [RFC4271],
* OSPF [RFC4577] [RFC6565],
* IS-IS [ISO10589],
* RIP [RFC2080] [RFC2453],
* Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) [RFC5880] [RFC7880],
and
* Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) [RFC5798].
Also, the module defines a set of identities, including the
following:
'service-type': Used to identify the VPN service type. Examples of
supported service types are as follows:
* L3VPN,
* Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) using BGP [RFC4761],
* VPLS using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) [RFC4762],
* Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) [RFC8214],
* BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN [RFC7432],
* Ethernet VPN (EVPN) [RFC8365], and
* Provider Backbone Bridging Combined with Ethernet VPN
(PBB-EVPN) [RFC7623].
'vpn-signaling-type': Used to identify the signaling mode used for a
given service type. Examples of supported VPN signaling types are
as follows:
* L2VPNs using BGP [RFC6624],
* LDP [RFC5036], and
* Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) [RFC3931].
The module covers both IPv4 [RFC0791] and IPv6 [RFC8200] identities.
It also includes multicast-related identities such as Internet Group
Management Protocol version 1 (IGMPv1) [RFC1112], IGMPv2 [RFC2236],
IGMPv3 [RFC3376], Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 (MLDv1)
[RFC2710], MLDv2 [RFC3810], and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
[RFC7761].
The reader should refer to Section 4 for the full list of supported
identities (identities related to address families, VPN topologies,
network access types, operational and administrative status, site or
node role, VPN service constraints, routing protocols, route import
and export policies, bandwidth, Quality of Service (QoS), etc.).
The "ietf-vpn-common" module also contains a set of reusable VPN-
related groupings. Figure 1 provides the tree diagram that depicts
the common groupings for the "ietf-vpn-common" module.

Figure 1: VPN Common Tree
The descriptions of the common groupings are provided below:
'vpn-description':
A YANG grouping that provides common administrative VPN
information such as an identifier, a name, a textual description,
and a customer name.
'vpn-profile-cfg':
A YANG grouping that defines a set of valid profiles (encryption,
routing, forwarding, etc.) that can be bound to a Layer 2/3 VPN.
This document does not make any assumptions about the structure of
such profiles but allows "gluing" a VPN service with other
parameters that can be required locally to provide value-added
features to requesting customers.
For example, a service provider may provide external connectivity
to a VPN customer (e.g., to a private or public cloud, Internet).
Such a service may involve tweaking both filtering and NAT rules
(e.g., binding a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) interface
with a NAT instance as discussed in Section 2.10 of [RFC8512]).
These value-added features may be bound to all, or a subset of,
network accesses. Some of these value-added features may be
implemented in nodes other than Provider Edges (PEs) (e.g., a P
node or even a dedicated node that hosts the NAT function).
Elaborating on the structure of these profiles is beyond the scope
of this document.
'oper-status-timestamp':
A YANG grouping that defines the operational status updates of a
VPN service or component.
'service-status':
A YANG grouping that defines the administrative and operational
status of a component. The grouping can be applied to the whole
service or an endpoint.
'underlay-transport':
A YANG grouping that defines the type of the underlay transport
for a VPN service or how that underlay is set.
The underlay transport can be expressed as an abstract transport
instance (e.g., an identifier of a VPN+ instance
[Enhanced-VPN-Framework], a virtual network identifier
[ACTN-VN-YANG] [RFC8453], or a network slice name
[Network-Slices-Framework]) or as an ordered list of the actual
protocols to be enabled in the network.
The module supports a rich set of protocol identifiers that can be
used, for example, to refer to an underlay transport. Examples of
supported protocols are as follows:
* IP in IP [RFC2003] [RFC2473],
* Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) [RFC1701] [RFC1702]
[RFC7676],
* MPLS in UDP [RFC7510],
* Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve)
[RFC8926],
* Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8660] [RFC8663] [RFC8754],
* Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) with traffic engineering
extensions [RFC3209], and
* BGP with labeled prefixes [RFC8277].
'vpn-route-targets':
A YANG grouping that defines Route Target (RT) import/export rules
used in a BGP-enabled VPN. This grouping can be used for both
L3VPNs [RFC4364] and L2VPNs [RFC4664]. Note that this is modeled
as a list to ease the reuse of this grouping in modules where an
RT identifier is needed (e.g., associating an operator with RTs).
'route-distinguisher':
A YANG grouping that defines Route Distinguishers (RDs).
As depicted in Figure 2, the module supports the following RD
assignment modes: direct assignment, full automatic assignment,
automatic assignment from a given pool, and no assignment.
Also, the module accommodates deployments where only the Assigned
Number subfield of RDs (Section 4.2 of [RFC4364]) is assigned from
a pool while the Administrator subfield is set to, for example,
the Router ID that is assigned to a VPN node. The module supports
three modes for managing the Assigned Number subfield: explicit
assignment, automatic assignment from a given pool, and full
automatic assignment.
grouping route-distinguisher:
+-- (rd-choice)?
+--:(directly-assigned)
| +-- rd? rt-types:route-distinguisher
+--:(directly-assigned-suffix)
| +-- rd-suffix? uint16
+--:(auto-assigned)
| +-- rd-auto
| +-- (auto-mode)?
| | +--:(from-pool)
| | | +-- rd-pool-name? string
| | +--:(full-auto)
| | +-- auto? empty
| +--ro auto-assigned-rd?
| | rt-types:route-distinguisher
+--:(auto-assigned-suffix)
| +-- rd-auto-suffix
| +-- (auto-mode)?
| | +--:(from-pool)
| | | +-- rd-pool-name? string
| | +--:(full-auto)
| | +-- auto? empty
| +--ro auto-assigned-rd-suffix? uint16
+--:(no-rd)
+-- no-rd? empty
Figure 2: Route Distinguisher Grouping Subtree
'vpn-components-group':
A YANG grouping that is used to group VPN nodes, VPN network
accesses, or sites. For example, diversity or redundancy
constraints can be applied on a per-group basis.
'placement-constraints':
A YANG grouping that is used to define the placement constraints
of a VPN node, VPN network access, or site.
'ports':
A YANG grouping that defines ranges of source and destination port
numbers and operators. The subtree of this grouping is depicted
in Figure 3.
grouping ports:
+-- (source-port)?
| +--:(source-port-range-or-operator)
| +-- source-port-range-or-operator
| +-- (port-range-or-operator)?
| +--:(range)
| | +-- lower-port inet:port-number
| | +-- upper-port inet:port-number
| +--:(operator)
| +-- operator? operator
| +-- port inet:port-number
+-- (destination-port)?
+--:(destination-port-range-or-operator)
+-- destination-port-range-or-operator
+-- (port-range-or-operator)?
+--:(range)
| +-- lower-port inet:port-number
| +-- upper-port inet:port-number
+--:(operator)
+-- operator? operator
+-- port inet:port-number
Figure 3: Port Numbers Grouping Subtree
'qos-classification-policy':
A YANG grouping that defines a set of QoS classification policies
based on various Layer 3/4 and application match criteria. The
subtree of this grouping is depicted in Figure 4.
The QoS match criteria reuse groupings that are defined in the
packet fields module "ietf-packet-fields" (Section 4.2 of
[RFC8519]).
Any Layer 4 protocol can be indicated in the 'protocol' data node
under 'l3', but only TCP- and UDP-specific match criteria are
elaborated on in this version, as these protocols are widely used
in the context of VPN services. Future revisions can be
considered to add other Layer-4-specific parameters (e.g., the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol [RFC4960]), if needed.
Some transport protocols use existing protocols (e.g., TCP or UDP)
as the substrate. The match criteria for such protocols may rely
upon the 'protocol' under 'l3', TCP/UDP match criteria as shown in
Figure 4, part of the TCP/UDP payload, or a combination thereof.
This version of the module does not support such advanced match
criteria. Future revisions of the module may consider adding
match criteria based on the transport protocol payload (e.g., by
means of a bitmask match).

5. 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.
The "ietf-vpn-common" module defines a set of identities, types, and
groupings. These nodes are intended to be reused by other YANG
modules. The module by itself does not expose any data nodes that
are writable, data nodes that contain read-only state, or RPCs. As
such, there are no additional security issues related to the "ietf-
vpn-common" module that need to be considered.
Modules that use the groupings that are defined in this document
should identify the corresponding security considerations. For
example, reusing some of these groupings will expose privacy-related
information (e.g., 'customer-name'). Disclosing such information may
be considered a violation of the customer-provider trust
relationship.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA has registered the following URI in the "ns" subregistry within
the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-vpn-common
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
IANA has registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module
Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry.
Name: ietf-vpn-common
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-vpn-common
Maintained by IANA? N
Prefix: vpn-common
Reference: RFC 9181

Appendix A. Example of Common Data Nodes in Early L2NM/L3NM Designs
In order to avoid duplication of data nodes and to ease passing data
among layers (i.e., from the service layer to the network layer and
vice versa), early versions of the L3NM reused many of the data nodes
that are defined in the L3SM. Nevertheless, that approach was
abandoned because that design was interpreted as if the deployment of
the L3NM depends on the L3SM, while this is not required. For
example, a service provider may decide to use the L3NM to build its
L3VPN services without exposing the L3SM to customers.
Likewise, early versions of the L2NM reused many of the data nodes
that are defined in both the L2SM and the L3NM. An example of L3NM
groupings reused in the L2NM is shown in Figure 5. Such reuse of
data nodes was interpreted as if the deployment of the L2NM requires
support for the L3NM, which is not required.
