1.  Introduction

   The Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) Working Group is chartered
   with providing architecture and mechanisms to inject into and
   retrieve information from the routing system.  The I2RS Architecture
   document [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] abstractly documents a number
   of requirements for implementing the I2RS requirements.  Section 2
   reviews 10 key requirements related to ephemeral state.

   The I2RS Working Group has chosen to use the YANG data modeling
   language [RFC6020] as the basis to implement its mechanisms.

   Additionally, the I2RS Working group has chosen to re-use two
   existing protocols, NETCONF [RFC6241] and its similar but lighter-
   weight relative RESTCONF [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf], as the
   protocols for carrying I2RS.

   What does re-use of a protocol mean?  Re-use means that while YANG,
   NETCONF and RESTCONF are a good starting basis for the I2RS protocol,
   the creation of the I2RS protocol implementations requires that the
   I2RS requirements

Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   1.  select features from YANG, NETCONF, and RESTCONF per version of
       the I2RS protocol (See sections 4, 5, and 6)

   2.  propose additions to YANG, NETCONF, and RESTCONF per version of
       the I2RS protocol for key functions (ephemeral state, protocol
       security, publication/subscription service, traceability),

   3.  suggest protocol strawman as ideas for the NETCONF, RESTCONF, and
       YANG changes.

   The purpose of these requirements and the suggested protocol straw
   man is to provide a quick turnaround on creating the I2RS protocol.

   Support for ephemeral state is I2RS protocol requirement that
   requires datastore changes (see section 3), Yang additions (see
   section 4), NETCONF additions (see section 5), and RESTCONF additions
   (see section 6).

   Sections 7-9 provide details that expand upon the changes in sections
   3-6 to clarify requirements discussed by the I2RS and NETCONF working
   groups.  Sections 7 provide additional requirements that detail how
   write-conflicts should be resolved if two I2RS client write the same
   data.  Section 8 provides an additional requirement that details on
   I2RS support of multiple message transactions.  Section 9 highlights
   two requirements in the I2RS publication/subscription requirements
   [I-D.ietf-i2rs-pub-sub-requirements] that must be expanded for
   ephemeral state.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Review of Requirements from I2RS architecture document

   The I2RS architecture defines important high-level requirements for
   the I2RS protocol.  The following are ten requirements that
   [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] contains which provide context for the
   ephemeral data state requirements given in sections 3-8:

   1.   The I2RS protocol SHOULD support highly reliable notifications
        (but not perfectly reliable notifications) from an I2RS agent to
        an I2RS client.

   2.   The I2RS protocol SHOULD support a high bandwidth, asynchronous
        interface, with real-time guarantees on getting data from an
        I2RS agent by an I2RS client.

Haas & Hares            Expires December 2, 2016                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   3.   The I2RS protocol will operate on data models which MAY be
        protocol independent or protocol dependent.

   4.   I2RS Agent MUST record the client identity when a node is
        created or modified.  The I2RS Agent SHOULD to be able to read
        the client identity of a node and use the client identity's
        associated priority to resolve conflicts.  The secondary
        identity is useful for traceability and may also be recorded.

   5.   Client identity MUST have only one priority for the client's
        identifier.  A collision on writes is considered an error, but
        the priority associated with each client identifier is utilized
        to compare requests from two different clients in order to
        modify an existing node entry.  Only an entry from a client
        which is higher priority can modify an existing entry (First
        entry wins).  Priority only has meaning at the time of use.

   6.   The Agent identity and the Client identity SHOULD be passed
        outside of the I2RS protocol in a authentication and
        authorization protocol (AAA).  Client priority may be passed in
        the AAA protocol.  The values of identities are originally set
        by operators, and not standardized.

   7.   An I2RS Client and I2RS Agent MUST mutually authenticate each
        other based on pre-established authenticated identities.

   8.   Secondary identity data is read-only meta-data that is recorded
        by the I2RS agent associated with a data model's node is
        written, updated or deleted.  Just like the primary identity,
        the secondary identity SHOULD only be recorded when the data
        node is written or updated or deleted

   9.   I2RS agent MAY have a lower priority I2RS client attempting to
        modify a higher priority client's entry in a data model.  The
        filtering out of lower priority clients attempting to write or
        modify a higher priority client's entry in a data model SHOULD
        be effectively handled and not put an undue strain on the I2RS
        agent.

   10.  The I2RS protocol MUST support the use of a secure transport.
        However, certain functions such as notifications MAY use a non-
        secure transport.  Each model or service (notification, logging)
        must define within the model or service the valid uses of a non-
        secure transport.

3.  Ephemeral State Requirements

3.1.  Persistence

   Ephemeral-REQ-01: I2RS requires ephemeral state; i.e. state that does
   not persist across reboots.  If state must be restored, it should be
   done solely by replay actions from the I2RS client via the I2RS
   agent.

   While at first glance this may seem equivalent to the writable-
   running data store in NETCONF, running-config can be copied to a
   persistent data store, like startup config.  I2RS ephemeral state
   MUST NOT be persisted.

3.2.  Constraints

   Ephemeral-REQ-02: Non-ephemeral state MUST NOT refer to ephemeral
   state for constraint purposes; it SHALL be considered a validation
   error if it does.

   Ephemeral-REQ-03: Ephemeral state must be able to utilized temporary
   operational state (e.g.  MPLS LSP-ID or a BGP IN-RIB) as a
   constraints.

   Ephemeral-REQ-04: Ephemeral state MAY refer to non-ephemeral state
   for purposes of implementing constraints.  The designer of ephemeral
   state modules are advised that such constraints may impact the speed
   of processing ephemeral state commits and should avoid them when
   speed is essential.

   Ephemeral-REQ-05: Ephemeral state handling and notifications could
   increase need for CPU processing, data flow rates across a transport,
   or the rate of publication of data in a subscription or the logging
   for traceability.  The I2RS Agent SHOULD have the ability to
   constraints for OAM functions operating to limit CPU processing, data
   rate across a transport, the rate of publication of data in a
   subscription, and logging rates; and the I2RS Agent SHOULD have the
   ability to prioritize some of the management data flows between the
   I2RS Agent and I2RS Client.  In order to constrain resources needed,
   the I2RS Agent MAY also schedule data flows or split data flows unto
   multiple data flow streams.

3.3.  Hierarchy

   Ephemeral-REQ-06: The ability to augment an object with appropriate
   YANG structures that have the property of being ephemeral.  An object
   defined as any one of the following:

Haas & Hares            Expires December 2, 2016                [Page 5]
Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   o  Yang module(and the module's schema tree),

   o  submodule or components of a submodule (e.g. derived types,
      groupings, data node, RPCs, actions, and notifications), or

   o  a schema node (container, leaf, leaf-list, choice, case, rpc,
      input, output, notifications, and anyxml).

   See [I-D.hares-i2rs-protocol-strawman] for examples of yang syntax.

4.  YANG Features for Ephemeral State for I2RS Protocol version 1

   Ephemeral-REQ-07: Yang MUST have a way to indicate in a data model
   that nodes have the following properties: ephemeral, writable/not-
   writable, and status/configuration.  Yang must also have a way to
   specify on a model or sub-model level whether the data MAY optionally
   flow across an non-secure transport.

5.  NETCONF Features for Ephemeral State for I2RS Protocol version 1

   Ephemeral-REQ-08: The conceptual changes to NETCONF

   1.  protocol version support for I2RS modifications - (e.g.  I2RS
       version 1)

   2.  support for ephemeral model scope indication - which indicates
       whether a module is an ephemeral-only module or mixed ephemeral
       config (ephemeral + config), mixed derived state (ephemeral and
       opstate).

   3.  multiple message support - supports the I2RS "all or nothing"
       concept ([I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] section 7.9) which is the
       same as NETCONF "roll-back-on-error".

   4.  support for the following transports protocol supported: "TCP",
       "SSH", "TLS", and non-secure transport (see
       [I-D.ietf-i2rs-protocol-security-requirements] section 3.2 in
       requirements SEC-REQ-09 and SEC-REQ-11 for details).  NETCONF
       should be able to expand the number of secure transport protocols
       supported as I2RS may add additional transport protocols.

   5.  ability to restrict non-secure transport support to specific
       portions of a data models marked as valid to transfer via
       insecure protocol.

   6.  ephemeral state overwriting of configuration state MUST be
       controlled by the following policy knobs (as defined by
       [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] section 6.3 and 6.3.1):

Haas & Hares            Expires December 2, 2016                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

       *  ephemeral configuration overwrites local configuration (true/
          false; normal value: true), and

       *  Update of local configuration value supersedes and overwrites
          the ephemeral configuration (true/false; normal value: false).

   7.  The ephemeral overwriting to local configuration described in (6)
       above is considered to be the composite of all ephemeral values
       by all clients.  Some may consider this approach as a single pane
       of glass for ephemeral state.

   8.  The ephemeral state must support notification of write conflicts
       using the priority requirements defined in section 7 below in
       requirements Ephemeral-REQ-10 through Ephemeral-REQ-13).

   9.  Ephemeral data stores SHOULD not require support interactions
       with writable-running, candidate data store, confirmed commit,
       and a distinct start-up capability,

   This list of requirements require the following the following
   existing features are supported:

      support for the following encodings: XML or JSON.

      support for the following transports protocol supported: "TCP",
      "SSH", "TLS".

      all of the following NETCONF protocol [RFC6241] specifications:

      *  yang pub-sub push [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-push],

      *  yang module library [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-library],

      *  call-home [I-D.ietf-netconf-call-home], and

      *  server model [I-D.ietf-netconf-server-model] with the server
         module must be augmented to support mutual authentication (see
         [I-D.ietf-i2rs-protocol-security-requirements] section 3.1 in
         requirements: SEC-REQ-01 to SEC-REQ-08).

6.  RESTCONF Features for Ephemeral State for I2RS Protocol version 1

   Ephemeral-REQ-09: The conceptual changes to RESTCONF are:

   1.  protocol version support for I2RS protocol modification (e.g.
       I2RS-version 1).

Haas & Hares            Expires December 2, 2016                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   2.  ephemeral model scope allowed - ephemeral modules, mixed config
       module (ephemeral and config), mixed derived state (ephemeral and
       opstate).

   3.  support for both of the following transport protocol suites:

       *  HTTP over TLS (secure HTTP as defined in RESTCONF
          [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf] section 2),

       *  HTTP used in a non-secure fashion (See
          [I-D.ietf-i2rs-protocol-security-requirements], section 3.2,
          requirements SEC-REQ-09 and SEC-REQ-11 for details), and

       *  RESTCONF SHOULD be able to expand the transports supported as
          as future I2RS protocol versions may support other transports.

   4.  The ability to restrict insecure transports to specific portions
       of a data model marked as valid to transfer via an insecure
       protocol.

   5.  Support for the development of a RESTCONF based yang pub-sub push
       based on the requirements in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-pub-sub-requirements]
       and equivalent to the netconf . [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-push]

   6.  ephemeral state overwriting of configuration state MUST be
       controlled by the following policy knobs (as defined by
       [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] section 6.3 and 6.3.1)

       *  Ephemeral configuration overwrites local configuration (true/
          false; normal value:true), and

       *  Update of local configuration value supersedes and overwrites
          the ephemeral configuration (true/false; normal value:false).

   7.  The ephemeral state overwriting a local configuration described
       above is considered to be the composite of all ephemeral state
       values by all clients.  Some may consider this a single "pane of
       glass" for the ephemeral values.

   8.  RESTCONF support ephemeral state MUST support notification of
       write conflicts using the priority requirements (see section 7
       below, specifically requirements Ephemeral-REQ-10 through
       Ephemeral-REQ-13).  Expansion of existing "edit-collision"
       features (timestamp and Entity tag) to include I2RS client-
       priorities is preferred since I2RS client-Agents exchange MAY
       wish to use the existing edit-collision features in RESTCONF.

Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   9.  Ephemeral data stores SHOULD not require support for interactions
       with writeable-running, candidate data stores, confirmed commit,
       and a distinct start-up capability.

   This requirement also requires that RESTCONF support all of the
   following specifications:

   1.  support for the following encodings: XML or JSON.

   2.  all of the following current RESTCONF specifications:

       1.  RESTCONF [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf],

       2.  the yang-patch features as specified in
           [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-patch],

       3.  yang module library [I-D.ietf-netconf-yang-library] as
           defined in RESTCONF [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf] section
           3.3.3),

       4.  call-home [I-D.ietf-netconf-call-home],

       5.  zero-touch [I-D.ietf-netconf-zerotouch], and

       6.  server modules [I-D.ietf-netconf-server-model] (server module
           must be augmented to support mutual authentication).

7.  Requirements regarding Supporting Multi-Head Control via Client
    Priority

   To support Multi-Headed Control, I2RS requires that there be a
   decidable means of arbitrating the correct state of data when
   multiple clients attempt to manipulate the same piece of data.  This
   is done via a priority mechanism with the highest priority winning.
   This priority is per-client.

   Ephemeral-REQ-10: The data nodes MAY store I2RS client identity and
   not the effective priority at the time the data node is stored.  Per
   SEC-REQ-07 in section 3.1 of
   [I-D.ietf-i2rs-protocol-security-requirements], an identifier must
   have just one priority.  Therefore, the data nodes MAY store I2RS
   client identity and not the effective priority of the I2RS client at
   the time the data node is stored.  The priority MAY be dynamically
   changed by AAA, but the exact actions are part of the protocol
   definition as long as collisions are handled as described in
   Ephemeral-REQ-10, Ephemeral-REQ-11, and Ephemeral-REQ-12.

Haas & Hares            Expires December 2, 2016                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   Ephemeral-REQ-11: When a collision occurs as two clients are trying
   to write the same data node, this collision is considered an error
   and priorities were created to give a deterministic result.  When
   there is a collision, a notification MUST BE sent to the original
   client to give the original client a chance to deal with the issues
   surrounding the collision.  The original client may need to fix their
   state.

   Ephemeral-REQ-12: The requirement to support multi-headed control is
   required for collisions and the priority resolution of collisions.
   Multi-headed control is not tied to ephemeral state.  I2RS is not
   mandating how AAA supports priority.  Mechanisms which prevent
   collisions of two clients trying the same node of data are the focus.

   Ephemeral-REQ-13: If two clients have the same priority, the
   architecture says the first one wins.  The I2RS protocol has this
   requirement to prevent was the oscillation between clients.  If one
   uses the last wins scenario, you may oscillate.  That was our
   opinion, but a design which prevents oscillation is the key point.

8.  Multiple Message Transactions

   Ephemeral-REQ-14: Section 7.9 of the [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture]
   states the I2RS architecture does not include multi-message atomicity
   and roll-back mechanisms.  I2RS notes multiple operations in one or
   more messages handling can handle errors within the set of operations
   in many ways.  No multi-message commands SHOULD cause errors to be
   inserted into the I2RS ephemeral data-store.

9.  Pub/Sub Requirements Expanded for Ephemeral State

   I2RS clients require the ability to monitor changes to ephemeral
   state.  While subscriptions are well defined for receiving
   notifications, the need to create a notification set for all
   ephemeral configuration state may be overly burdensome to the user.

   There is thus a need for a general subscription mechanism that can
   provide notification of changed state, with sufficient information to
   permit the client to retrieve the impacted nodes.  This should be
   doable without requiring the notifications to be created as part of
   every single I2RS module.

   The publication/subscription requirements for I2RS are in
   [I-D.ietf-i2rs-pub-sub-requirements], and the following general
   requirements SHOULD be understood to be expanded to to include
   ephemeral state:

Internet-Draft      I2RS Ephemeral State Requirements           May 2016

   o  Pub-Sub-REQ-01: The Subscription Service MUST support
      subscriptions against ephemeral data in operational data stores,
      configuration data stores or both.

   o  Pub-Sub-REQ-02: The Subscription Service MUST support filtering so
      that subscribed updates under a target node might publish only
      ephemeral data in operational data or configuration data, or
      publish both ephemeral and operational data.

10.  IANA Considerations

   There are no IANA requirements for this document.

11.  Security Considerations

   The security requirements for the I2RS protocol are covered in
   [I-D.ietf-i2rs-protocol-security-requirements] document.  The
   security requirements for the I2RS protocol environment are in
   [I-D.ietf-i2rs-security-environment-reqs].

12.  Acknowledgements
