YANG Data Model for Maximum SID Depth Types and MPLS Maximum SID Depth

There are two YANG modules defined in this document. Module iana-msd-types defines the identities for Maximum Segment Identifier (SID) Depth (MSD) Types as per the IANA IGP MSD-Types registry , which include MSD types for both the MPLS data plane and the SRv6 data plane. This document also defines module ietf-mpls-msd augmenting the IETF MPLS YANG model , which itself augments the routing RIB data model , to provide operational state for various MSDs for the MPLS data plane. The module augments the base MPLS model with a list of various types of node MSDs, as well as various types of MSDs on links. The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) .

IANA has created an IANA-managed registry titled "IGP MSD-Types" under the "Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Parameters" registry to identify MSD-Types. Module iana-msd-types is an IANA-maintained module, which defines the identities for the MSD-Types as in the IANA IGP MSD-Types registry. On top of the base identity "msd-base", identity "msd-base-mpls" is defined to serve as the base for MSD types for MPLS data plane, and identity "msd-base-srh" is defined to serve as the base for MSD types for Segment Routing Header (SRH) in IPv6 data plane. This module will be maintained by IANA and updated if and when there is any change to the registry.

Module ietf-mpls-msd augments the base MPLS model , and it provides support of different types of MSDs in MPLS data plane. As defined in , a Link MSD is the number of SIDs supported by a node's link, while a Node MSD is the smallest MSD supported by the node across all its interfaces. The module defines lists of MSDs with different MSD Types for a node and links. Please note that these are read-only data as per the node's hardware capability.

      The YANG modules specified in this document define a schema for data
      that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
      as NETCONF  or RESTCONF .
      These network management protocols are required to use a secure
      transport layer and mutual authentication, e.g., SSH 
      without the "none" authentication option, Transport Layer Security (TLS)
       with mutual X.509 authentication, and HTTPS
      with HTTP authentication (Section 11 of ).


   The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM)  provides the 
      means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
      pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol 
      operations and content. 

   Some of the readable data nodes in the ietf-mpls-msd YANG module
      may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus 
      important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification)
      to these data nodes. These are the
      subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
      
        /rt:routing/mpls:mpls/msd/node-msds
        /rt:routing/mpls:mpls/msd/link-msds
        Exposure of the node's maximum SID depth may be useful in mounting a
          Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack by sending packets to the node that 
          the router can't process.
      
    
      The iana-msd-types YANG module defines a set of identities, which mirrors
      the IANA IGP MSD-Types registry. These identities are intended to be reused
      by other YANG modules. The module by itself does not expose any data nodes
      that are writable or readable. As such, there are no additional security
      issues related to this YANG module that need to be considered.

    This document defines the initial version of the IANA-maintained
      "iana-msd-types" YANG module . The latest
      version of the YANG module is available from the "YANG Parameters"
      registry .

    
      IANA is requested to add this note to the "YANG Module Names" registry:
      
        MSD Types must not be added directly to the iana-msd-types YANG module.
          They must first be added to , which it mirrors.
      

    
      The identities defined in the iana-msd-types YANG module are organized hierarchically
      based on the data plane. In this initial version, only MPLS and SRv6 data
      planes are supported, hence "msd-base-mpls" and "msd-base-srh" are defined.
      When a new data plane is added to the "IGP MSD-Types" registry, a new "identity"
      statement should be added to the "iana-msd-types" YANG module. The name of the
      "identity" is the prefix "msd-base-" plus a lower-case version of the data plane name .
      The identity statement should have the following sub-statements defined:
      
          "base":
          Contains 'msd-base'.
          "description":
          Replicates the description from "msd-base-mpls" and change the corresponding data plane name.
          "reference":
          Replicates the reference from
            the registry with the title of the document added.
        

    
      When an MSD type is added to the "IGP MSD-Types" registry, a new "identity"
      statement must be added to the "iana-msd-types" YANG module. Then name of the
      "identity" is a lower-case version of the type name provided in the name with
      the space replaced with "-". The "identity" statement should have the
      following sub-statements defined:
      
          "base":
          Contains the base name of the corresponding data plane.
          "description":
          Replicates the name from the registry.
          "reference":
          Replicates the reference from
            the registry with the title of the document added.
        

    Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module.
    When the "iana-msd-types" YANG module is updated, a new "revision"
        statement with a unique revision date must be added in front of the
        existing revision statements.
    
      IANA is requested to the add a "data-plane" column to the 
     "IGP MSD-Types" registry. This will unequivocally identify the 
     base identity for MSD-Types. The values for the Data-Plane 
     column for existing MSD-Types are: 
    
    
Value      Name                      Data-Plane   Reference

        IANA is requested to add this note to :
      
        When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-msd-types"
          must be updated as defined in RFC XXXX.
