1.  Introduction

   [RFC8345] defines the YANG [RFC6020] [RFC7950] data models of the
   abstract (generic) network and network topology.  Such models can be
   augmented with technology-specific details to build more specific
   topology models.

   This document defines the YANG data model for Layer 2 (L2) network
   topologies by augmenting the generic network (Section 6.1 of
   [RFC8345]) and network topology (Section 6.2 of [RFC8345]) data
   models with L2-specific topology attributes.  An example is provided
   in Appendix B.

Internet-Draft     Layer 2 Network Topology Data Model         June 2020

   There are multiple applications for such a data model.  For example,
   within the context of Interface to the Routing System (I2RS), nodes
   within the network can use the data model to capture their
   understanding of the overall network topology and expose it to a
   network controller.  A network controller can then use the
   instantiated topology data to compare and reconcile its own view of
   the network topology with that of the network elements that it
   controls.  Alternatively, nodes within the network may compare and
   reconcile this understanding either among themselves or with the help
   of a controller.  Beyond the network element and the immediate
   context of I2RS itself, a network controller might even use the data
   model to represent its view of the topology that it controls and
   expose it to external applications.  Further use cases where the data
   model can be applied are described in [I2RS-UR].

   This document uses the common YANG types defined in [RFC6991] and
   adopts the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
   [RFC8342].

2.  Terminology

   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 BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC7950].
   The meanings of the symbols used in the tree diagram are defined in
   [RFC8340].

3.  Layer 2 Topology Model

   The Layer 2 (L2) network topology YANG module is designed to be
   generic and applicable to Layer 2 networks built with different L2
   technologies.  It can be used to describe both the physical and the
   logical (virtual) L2 network topologies.

   The relationship between the Layer 2 topology module and the generic
   network and network topology module is shown in Figure 1.  In order
   to represent a Layer 2 network topology, the generic network and
   topology models are augmented with Layer 2 specific information, such
   as the identifiers, identities (e.g., Provider Backbone Bridging
   [IEEE802.1ah], QinQ [IEEE802.1ad], or VXLAN [RFC7348]), attributes,
   and states of the Layer 2 networks, nodes, links, and termination
   points.  Some of the information may be collected via Link Layer
   Discovery Protocol (LLDP) [IEEE802.1AB] or other Layer 2 protocols,
   and some of them may be locally configured.

   The Layer 2 topology YANG module augments the "ietf-network" and
   "ietf-network-topology" YANG modules as follows:

   o  A new network type "l2-network-type" is introduced.  This is
      represented by a container object, and is inserted under the
      "network-types" container of the generic "ietf-network" module
      defined in Section 6.1 of [RFC8345].

   o  Additional network attributes are introduced in a grouping "l2-
      network-attributes", which augments the "network" list of the
      "ietf-network" module.  The attributes include Layer 2 network
      name and a set of flags.  Each type of flag is represented by a
      separate identity.

   o  Additional data objects for Layer 2 nodes are introduced by
      augmenting the "node" list of the generic "ietf-network" module.
      New objects include Layer 2 node identifier, description,
      management address, and a set of flags.

   o  Additional data objects for Layer 2 termination points are
      introduced by augmenting the "termination-point" list of the
      "ietf-network-topology" module defined in Section 6.2 of
      [RFC8345].  New objects include Layer 2 termination point

      descriptions, Layer 2 termination point type specific attributes
      and Layer 2 termination point states.

   o  Links in the "ietf-network-topology" module are augmented as well
      with a set of Layer 2 parameters, allowing to associate a link
      with a name, a set of Layer 2 link attributes, and flags.

   o  Some optional L2 technology specific attributes are introduced in
      this module as Layer 2 features because these attributes may be
      useful to expose to above services/applications.  Note that
      learning or configuring advanced L2 technology-specific attributes
      is not within the scope of the Layer 2 Topology YANG module;
      dedicated YANG modules should be used instead (e.g.,
      [I-D.ietf-trill-yang]).

5.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests IANA to register the following URIs in the
   "ns" subregistry within the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2-topology
      Registrant Contact: The IESG.
      XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

      XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

   This document requests IANA to register the following YANG modules in
   the "YANG Module Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG
   Parameters" registry.

     name: ietf-l2-topology

   These modules are not maintained by IANA.

6.  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.

Internet-Draft     Layer 2 Network Topology Data Model         June 2020

   The Layer 2 topology module defines information that can be
   configurable in certain instances, for example in the case of virtual
   topologies that can be created by client applications.  In such
   cases, a malicious client could introduce topologies that are
   undesired.  Specifically, a malicious client could attempt to remove
   or add a node, a link, a termination point, by creating or deleting
   corresponding elements in the node, link, and termination point
   lists, respectively.  In the case of a topology that is learned, the
   server will automatically prohibit such misconfiguration attempts.
   In the case of a topology that is configured, i.e. whose origin is
   "intended", the undesired configuration could become effective and be
   reflected in the operational state datastore, leading to disruption
   of services provided via this topology might be disrupted.  For those
   reasons, it is important that the NETCONF access control model is
   vigorously applied to prevent topology misconfiguration by
   unauthorized clients.

   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.  These are the subtrees and data nodes
   and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   o  l2-network-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to
      sabotage the configuration of any of the contained attributes,
      such as the name or the flag data nodes.

   o  l2-node-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage
      the configuration of important node attributes, such as the name
      or the management-address.

   o  l2-link-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage
      the configuration of important link attributes, such as the rate
      or the delay data nodes.

   o  l2-termination-point-attributes: A malicious client could attempt
      to sabotage the configuration of important termination point
      attributes (e.g., 'maximum-frame-size').

   Some of the readable data nodes in this 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.  In particular, the YANG model for
   layer 2 topology may expose sensitive information, for example the
   MAC addresses of devices.  Unrestricted use of such information can
   lead to privacy violations.  For example, listing MAC addresses in a

   network allows monitoring of devices and their movements.  Location
   information can be derived from MAC addresses of network devices,
   bypassing protection of location information by the Operating System.

Appendix A.  Companion YANG Module for Non-NMDA Compliant
             Implementations

   The YANG module ietf-l2-topology defined in this document augments
   two modules, "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology", that are
   designed to be used in conjunction with implementations that support
   the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in

Dong, et al.            Expires December 31, 2020              [Page 25]
Internet-Draft     Layer 2 Network Topology Data Model         June 2020

   [RFC8342].  In order to allow implementations to use the model even
   in cases when NMDA is not supported, a set of companion modules have
   been defined that represent a state model of networks and network
   topologies, "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state",
   respectively.

   In order to be able to use the model for layer 2 topologies defined
   in this document in conjunction with non-NMDA compliant
   implementations, a corresponding companion module is defined that
   represents the operational state of layer 2 network topologies.  The
   module "ietf-l2-topology-state" mirrors the module "ietf-l2-topology"
   defined in Section 4.  However, it augments "ietf-network-state" and
   "ietf-network-topology-state" (instead of "ietf-network" and "ietf-
   network-topology") and all its data nodes are non-configurable.

   The companion module "ietf-l2-topology" SHOULD NOT be supported by
   implementations that support NMDA.  It is for this reason that this
   module is defined in the informative Appendix.

   As the structure of this modules mirrors that of its underlying
   modules, the YANG tree is not depicted separately.

       "This module defines a model for Layer 2 Network Topology
        state, representing topology that either is learned or
        results from applying topology that has been configured per
        the 'ietf-l2-topology' model, mirroring the
        corresponding data nodes in this model.

        This model mirrors 'ietf-l2-topology' but contains only
        read-only state data.  The model is not needed when the
        underlying implementation infrastructure supports the
        Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).

Appendix B.  An Example

   This section contains an example of an instance data tree in JSON
   encoding [RFC7951].  The example instantiates "ietf-l2- topology" for
   the topology that is depicted in the following diagram.  There are
   three nodes: D1, D2, and D3.  D1 has three termination points: 1-0-1,
   1-2-1, and 1-3-1.  D2 has three termination points as well: 2-1-1,
   2-0-1, and 2-3-1.  D3 has two termination points: 3-1-1 and 3-2-1.
   In addition, there are six links, two between each pair of nodes,
   with one going in each direction.
