RIB Extension YANG Data Model
draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-22
Abstract
A Routing Information Base (RIB) is a list of routes and their
corresponding administrative data and operational state.
RFC 8349 defines the basic building blocks for the RIB data model,
and this model augments it to support multiple next-hops (aka, paths)
for each route as well as additional attributes.

1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model which extends the
RIB data model defined in the ietf-routing YANG module [RFC8349] with
more route attributes.
A RIB is a collection of routes with attributes controlled and
manipulated by control-plane protocols. Each RIB contains only
routes of one address family [RFC8349]. Within a protocol, routes
are selected based on the metrics in use by that protocol, and the
protocol installs the routes to RIB. The RIB selects the preferred
or active route by comparing the route-preference (aka,
administrative distance) of the candidate routes installed different
protocols.
The module defined in this document extends the RIB to support more
route attributes, such as multiple next-hops, route metrics, and
administrative tags.

2.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names
In this document, names of data nodes, actions, and other data model
objects are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from
the context in which YANG module each name is defined. Otherwise,
names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the
corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1.
+========+===========================+===========+
| Prefix | YANG module | Reference |
+========+===========================+===========+
| if | ietf-interfaces | [RFC8343] |
+--------+---------------------------+-----------+
| rt | ietf-routing | [RFC8349] |

3. Design of the Model
The YANG module defined in this document augments the ietf-routing
YANG modules defined in [RFC8349], which provide a basis for routing
system data model development. Together with YANG modules defined in
[RFC8349], a generic RIB YANG model is defined to implement and
monitor a RIB.
The modules in [RFC8349] also define the basic configuration and
operational state for both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes. This
document provides augmentations for static routes to support multiple
next-hops and more next-hop attributes.
3.1. Tags and Preference
Individual route tags are supported at both the route and next-hop
level. A preference per next-hop is also supported for selection of
the most preferred reachable static route.
The following tree snapshot shows tag and preference which augment
static IPv4 unicast routes and IPv6 unicast routes next-hop.

3.2. Repair Path
The IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) calculation by routing protocol pre-
computes repair paths [RFC5714], and the repair paths are installed
in the RIB.
Each route next-hop in the RIB is augmented with a repair path, and
is shown in the following tree snapshot.

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 NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] 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.
There are a number of data nodes defined in ietf-rib-extensions.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:
/v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference
/v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag
/v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list
/v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference
/v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list
/v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag
/v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference
/v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag
Lindem & Qu Expires 8 December 2023 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft YANG RIB-EXT June 2023
/v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list
/v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference
/v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list
/v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag
For these augmentations to ietf-routing.yang, the ability to
delete, add, and modify IPv4 and IPv6 static route preference and
tag would allow traffic to be misrouted.
Some of the readable data nodes in the ietf-rib-extensions.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/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rib-ext:statistics
/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:metric
/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:tag
/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route /rib-
ext:application-tag
/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:simple-next-hop /rib-
ext:repair-path
/rt:routes/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options /rt:next-hop-
list/rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop/rib-ext:repair-path
The exposure of the Routing Information Base (RIB) will expose the
routing topology of the network. This may be undesirable due to
the fact that exposure may facilitate other attacks.
Additionally, network operators may consider their topologies to
be sensitive confidential data.
All the security considerations for [RFC8349] writable and readable
data nodes apply to the augmentations described herein.
