Abstract

   This document defines a network instance module.  This module along
   with the logical network element module can be used to manage the
   logical and virtual resource representations that may be present on a
   network device.  Examples of common industry terms for logical
   resource representations are Logical Systems or Logical Routers.
   Examples of common industry terms for virtual resource
   representations are Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances
   and Virtual Switch Instances (VSIs).

1.  Introduction

   This document defines the second of two new modules that are defined
   to support the configuration and operation of network-devices that
   allow for the partitioning of resources from both, or either,
   management and networking perspectives.  Both make use of the YANG
   functionality enabled by YANG Schema Mount
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].

   Two forms of resource partitioning are supported:

   The first form, which is defined in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model],
   provides a logical partitioning of a network device where each
   partition is separately managed as essentially an independent network
   element which is 'hosted' by the base network device.  These hosted
   network elements are referred to as logical network elements, or
   LNEs, and are supported by the logical-network-element module defined
   in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model].  The module is used to identify LNEs
   and associate resources from the network-device with each LNE.  LNEs
   themselves are represented in YANG as independent network devices;
   each accessed independently.  Optionally, and when supported by the

   implementation, they may also be accessed from the host system.
   Examples of vendor terminology for an LNE include logical system or
   logical router, and virtual switch, chassis, or fabric.

   The second form, which is defined in this document, provides support
   what is commonly referred to as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
   instances as well as Virtual Switch Instances (VSI), see [RFC4026].
   In this form of resource partitioning multiple control plane and
   forwarding/bridging instances are provided by and managed via a
   single (physical or logical) network device.  This form of resource
   partitioning is referred to as Network Instances and are supported by
   the network-instance module defined below.  Configuration and
   operation of each network-instance is always via the network device
   and the network-instance module.

   This document was motivated by, and derived from,
   [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-device-model].

1.1.  Status of Work and Open Issues

   The top open issues are:

   1.  This document will need to match the evolution and
       standardization of [I-D.openconfig-netmod-opstate] or
       [I-D.ietf-netmod-opstate-reqs] by the Netmod WG.

2.  Overview

   In this document, we consider network devices that support protocols
   and functions defined within the IETF Routing Area, e.g, routers,
   firewalls and hosts.  Such devices may be physical or virtual, e.g.,
   a classic router with custom hardware or one residing within a
   server-based virtual machine implementing a virtual network function
   (VNF).  Each device may sub-divide their resources into logical
   network elements (LNEs) each of which provides a managed logical
   device.  Examples of vendor terminology for an LNE include logical
   system or logical router, and virtual switch, chassis, or fabric.
   Each LNE may also support virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) and
   virtual switching instance (VSI) functions, which are referred to
   below as a network instances (NIs).  This breakdown is represented in
   Figure 1.

   Figure 1: Module Element Relationships

   A model for LNEs is described in [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] and the
   model for network instances is covered in Section 3.  For more
   information on how these models may be used within an overall device
   model structure, see [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-device-model].

   The interface management model [RFC7223] is an existing model that is
   impacted by the definition of LNEs and network instances.  This
   document and [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-lne-model] define augmentations to the
   interface module to support LNEs and NIs.  Similar elements, although
   perhaps only for LNEs, may also need to be included as part of the
   definition of the future hardware and QoS modules.

   Interfaces are a crucial part of any network device's configuration
   and operational state.  They generally include a combination of raw
   physical interfaces, link-layer interfaces, addressing configuration,
   and logical interfaces that may not be tied to any physical
   interface.  Several system services, and layer 2 and layer 3
   protocols may also associate configuration or operational state data
   with different types of interfaces (these relationships are not shown
   for simplicity).  The interface management model is defined by
   [RFC7223].

   The logical-network-element and network-instance modules augment the
   existing interface management model in two ways: The first, by the
   logical-network-element module, adds an identifier which is used on
   physical interface types to identify an associated LNE.  The second,
   by the network-instance module, adds a name which is used on
   interface or sub-interface types to identify an associated network
   instance.  Similarly, this name is also added for IPv4 and IPv6
   types, as defined in [RFC7277].

Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2017

   The interface related augmentations are as follows:

       module: ietf-logical-network-element
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
          +--rw bind-lne-name?   string

       module: ietf-network-instance
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
          +--rw bind-network-instance-name?   string
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4:
          +--rw bind-network-instance-name?   string
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6:
          +--rw bind-network-instance-name?   string

   The following is an example of envisioned combined usage.  The
   interfaces container includes a number of commonly used components as
   examples:

             +--rw if:interfaces
             |  +--rw interface* [name]
             |     +--rw name                       string
             |     +--rw bind-lne-name?             string

             |     |  +--rw lldp
             |     |  +--rw ptp
             |     +--rw vlans
             |     +--rw tunnels
             |     +--rw ipv4
             |     |  +--rw ni:bind-network-instance-name? string
             |     |  +--rw arp
             |     |  +--rw icmp
             |     |  +--rw vrrp
             |     |  +--rw dhcp-client
             |     +--rw ipv6
             |        +--rw ni:bind-network-instance-name? string
             |        +--rw vrrp
             |        +--rw icmpv6
             |        +--rw nd
             |        +--rw dhcpv6-client

   The [RFC7223] defined interface model is structured to include all
   interfaces in a flat list, without regard to logical or virtual
   instances (e.g., VRFs) supported on the device.  The bind-lne-name
   and bind-network-instance-name leaves provide the association between
   an interface and its associated LNE and NI (e.g., VRF or VSI).

3.  Network Instances

   The network instance container is used to represent virtual routing
   and forwarding instances (VRFs) and virtual switching instances
   (VSIs), [RFC4026].  VRFs and VSIs are commonly used to isolate
   routing and switching domains, for example to create virtual private
   networks, each with their own active protocols and routing/switching
   policies.  The model represents both core/provider and virtual
   instances.  Network instances reuse and build on [RFC8022] and are
   shown below:

       module: ietf-network-instance
          +--rw network-instances
             +--rw network-instance* [name]
                +--rw name                         string
                +--rw type?                        identityref
                +--rw enabled?                     boolean
                +--rw description?                 string
                +--rw network-instance-policy
                |  ...
                +--rw root?                      yang-schema-mount
                |  ...
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
          +--rw bind-network-instance-name?   string
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4:
          +--rw bind-network-instance-name?   string
       augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6:
          +--rw bind-network-instance-name?   string

   A network instance is identified by a `name` string.  This string is
   used both as an index within the network-instance module and to
   associate resources with a network instance as shown above in the
   interface augmentation.  Type is used to indicate the type NI, such
   as L3-VRF, VPLS, L2-VSI, etc.  Network instance policy and root are
   discussed in greater detail below.

3.1.  Network Instance Policy

   Network instance policies are used to control how NI information is
   represented at the device level, VRF routing policies, and VRF/VSI
   identifiers.  Examples include BGP route targets (RTs) and route
   distinguishers (RDs), virtual network identifiers (VN-IDs), VPLS
   neighbors, etc.  The structure is expected to be:

Berger, et al.         Expires September 14, 2017               [Page 6]
Internet-Draft                  YANG NIs                      March 2017

       module: ietf-network-instance
          +--rw network-instances
             +--rw network-instance* [name]
                +--rw network-instance-policy
                   (TBD)

3.2.  Network Instance Management

   Modules that may be used to represent network instance specific
   information will be available under `root`.  As with LNEs, actual
   module availability is expected to be implementation dependent.  The
   use-schema mechanism defined as part of the Schema Mount module
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount] is expected to be the primary method
   used to identify supported modules.  Resource related control and
   assignment is expected to be managed at the network-device level, not
   the network instance level, based on the `bind-network-instance-name`
   augmentation mentioned above.  Mounted modules will access such
   information, as well as any other information contained within a
   module at the device root, by using the parent-reference mechanism
   defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].

   As an example, consider the case where a network instance with a
   `name` of "green" is defined on a network device.  In this case the
   following logical structure might be made available:

      +--rw yanglib:modules-state           [RFC7895]
      +--rw if:interfaces                   [RFC7223]
      |  +--rw bind-network-instance-name="green" string
      +--rw network-instances
         +--rw network-instance* [name]
            +--rw name="green"    string
            +--rw type?                           identityref
            +--rw enabled=true                    boolean
            +--rw description="The Green VRF"     string
            +--rw network-instance-policy
            |  ... (RT=1000:1, RD=1.2.3.4)
            +--rw root?                           yang-schema-mount

   with a corresponding logical structure in the schema-mount module:

   module: ietf-yang-schema-mount
      +--ro schema-mounts
         :
         +--ro mount-point* [module name]
         |  +--ro module="ietf-network-instance"
         |  +--ro name="root"
         |  +--ro config=true
         |  +--ro (schema-ref)?
         |     +--:(use-schema)
         |        +--ro use-schema* [name]
         |           +--ro name="ni-vrf"
         :           :
         :
         +--ro schema* [name]
            +--ro name="ni-vrf"           string
            +--ro module*  [name revision]
            |  +--ro name="mm:network-services"
            :  :
            |  +--ro name="nn:oam-protocols"
            :  :
            |  +--ro name="oo:routing"
            :  :
            |  +--ro name="pp:mpls"
            :  :
            +--ro mount-point* [network-instance]
               :

   All modules that represent control-plane and data-plane information
   may be present at the `root`, and be accessible via paths modified
   per [I-D.ietf-netmod-schema-mount].  The list of available modules is
   expected to be implementation dependent.  As is the method used by an
   implementation to support NIs.

3.3.  Network Instance Instantiation

   Network instances may be controlled by clients using existing list
   operations.  When list entries are created, a new instance is
   instantiated.  The models mounted under a NI root is expected to be
   dependent on the server implementation.  When a list entry is
   deleted, an existing network instance is destroyed.  For more
   information see [RFC7950] Section 7.8.6.
