 1. Introduction

   This draft provides an information model for the requirements
   identified in the ACTN requirements [ACTN-Req] and the ACTN
   interfaces identified in the ACTN architecture and framework
   document [ACTN-Frame].

   The purpose of this draft is to put all information elements of ACTN
   in one place before proceeding to development work necessary for
   protocol extensions and data models.

   The ACTN reference architecture [ACTN-Frame] identified a three-tier
   control hierarchy as depicted in Figure 1:

   - Customer Network Controllers (CNC)
   - Multi-Domain Service Coordinator (MDSC)
   - Provisioning Network Controllers (PNC).

               Figure 1: A Three-tier ACTN control hierarchy

   The two interfaces with respect to the MDSC, one north of the MDSC
   and the other south of the MDSC are referred to as CMI (CNC-MDSC
   Interface) and MPI (MDSC-PNC Interface), respectively. It is
   intended to model these two interfaces and derivative interfaces
   thereof (e.g., MDSC to MSDC in a hierarchy of MDSCs) with one common
   model.

1.1. Terminology

   Refer VN, VNS to [ACTN-Frame] and abstraction and abstract topology
   to [RFC7926].

2. ACTN Common Interfaces Information Model

   This section provides ACTN common interface information model to
   describe in terms of primitives, objects, their properties
   (represented as attributes), their relationships, and the resources
   for the service applications needed in the ACTN context.

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                  [Page 4]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

   The standard interface is described between a client controller and
   a server controller. A client-server relationship is recursive
   between a CNC and a MDSC and between a MDSC and a PNC. In the CMI,
   the client is a CNC while the server is a MDSC. In the MPI, the
   client is a MDSC and the server is a PNC. There may also be MDSC-
   MDSC interface(s) that need to be supported. This may arise in a
   hierarchy of MDSCs in which workloads may need to be partitioned to
   multiple MDSCs.

   Basic primitives (messages) are required between the CNC-MDSC and
   MDSC-PNC controllers. These primitives can then be used to support
   different ACTN network control functions like network topology
   request/query, VN service request, path computation and connection
   control, VN service policy negotiation, enforcement, routing
   options, etc.

   There are two different types of primitives depending of the type of
   interface:

     - Virtual Network primitives at CMI
     - Traffic Engineering primitives at MPI

   As well described in [ACTN-Frame], at the CMI level, there is no
   need for detailed TE information since the basic functionality is to
   translate customer service information into virtual network service
   operation.

   At the MPI level, MDSC has the main scope for multi-domain
   coordination and creation of a single e2e abstracted network view
   which is strictly related to TE information.

   As for topology, this document employs two types of topology:

     -  The first type is referred to as virtual network topology which
        is associated a VN. Virtual network topology is a customized
        topology for view and control by the customer. See Section 3.1
        for details.

     -  The second type is referred to as TE topology which is associated
        with provider network operation on which we can apply policy to
        obtain the required level of abstraction to represent the
        underlying physical network topology.

Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

3. Virtual Network primitives

   This section provides a list of main VN primitives related to
   virtual network which are necessary to satisfy ACTN requirements
   specified in [ACTN-REQ]

   At a minimum, the following VN action primitives should be
   supported:

   - VN Instantiate (See Section 3.1.1. for the description)

   - VN Modify (See Section 3.1.2. for the description)

   - VN Delete (See Section 3.1.3. for the description)

   - VN Update ((See Section 3.1.4. for the description)

   - VN Path Compute (See Section 3.1.5. for the description)

   - VN Query (See Section 3.1.6. for the description)

   <VN Action> is an object describing the main VN primitives.

   VN Action can assume one of the mentioned above primitives values.

   <VN Action> ::= <VN Instantiate> |

                   <VN Modify> |

                   <VN Delete> |

                   <VN Update> |

                   <VN Path Compute> |

                   <VN Query>

   All these actions will solely happen at CMI level between Customer
   Network Controller (CNC) and Multi Domain Service Coordinator
   (MDSC).

3.1. VN Instantiate

   <VN Instantiate> refers to an action from customers/applications to
   request the creation of VNs. Depending on the agreement between
   client and provider <VN instantiate> can imply different VN

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                  [Page 6]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

   operations and view, depending on the type of VN requested. You can
   have two types of VN instantiation:

   VN type 1: Where VN is viewed as a set of edge-to-edge links,
   referred as VN members in ACTN terminology.

   VN type 2: Where VN is viewed as a VN-topology which is comprised of
   virtual nodes and virtual links. See Section 5.6 for details.

   Please see [ACTN-Frame] for details regarding the types of VN.

3.2. VN Modify

   <VN Modify> refers to an action issued from customers/applications
   to modify an existing VN (i.e., an instantiated VN).

3.3. VN Delete

   <VN Delete> refers to an action issued from customers/applications
   to delete an existing VN.

3.4. VN Update

   <VN Update> refers to any update to the VN that needs to be updated
   to the customers. VN Update fulfills a push model at CMI level, to
   make aware customers of any specific changes in the topology details
   related to VN instantiated.

   VN Update, depending of the type of VN instantiated, can be an
   update of VN members (edge-to-edge links) in case of VN type 1, or a
   virtual topology view update in case of VN type 2.

   The connection-related information (e.g., LSPs) update association
   with VNs will be part of the "translation" function that happens in
   MDSC to map/translate VN request into TE semantics. This information
   will be provided in case customer optionally wants to have more
   detailed TE information associated with the instantiated VN.

Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

3.5. VN Compute

   <VN Compute> consists of Request and Reply. Request refers to an
   action from customers/applications to request a VN computation.

   <VN Compute> Reply refers to the reply in response to <VN Compute>
   Request.

   <VN Compute> Request/Reply is to be differentiated from a VN
   Instantiate. The purpose of VN Compute is a priori exploration to
   compute network resources availability and getting a possible VN
   view in which path details can be specified matching
   customer/applications constraints. This a priori exploration may not
   guarantee the availability of the computed network resources at the
   time of instantiation.

   <VN Query> refers to inquiry pertaining to the VN that has been
   already instantiated. VN Query fulfills a pull model and permit to
   get topology view.

   <VN Query Reply> refers to the reply in response to <VN Query>.

4. Traffic Engineering (TE) primitives

   This section provides a list of main TE primitives necessary to
   satisfy ACTN requirements specified in [ACTN-REQ] related to typical
   TE operations supported at MPI level.

   At a minimum, the following TE action primitives should be
   supported:

   - TE Instantiate/Modify/Delete

   - TE Topology Update (See Section 4.4. for the description)

   - Path Compute

   <TE Action> is an object describing the main TE primitives.

   TE Action can assume one of the mentioned above primitives values.

   <TE Action> ::= <TE Instantiate> |

                   <TE Modify> |

                   <TE Delete> |

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                  [Page 8]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

                   <TE Topology Update> |

                   <Path Compute> |

   All these actions will solely happen at MPI level between Multi
   Domain Service Coordinator (MDSC) and Provisioning Network Controller
   (PNC).

4.1. TE Instantiate

   <TE Instantiate> refers to an action issued from MDSC to PNC to
   instantiate new TE tunnels.

4.2. TE Modify

   <TE Modify> refers to an action issued from MDSC to PNC to modify
   existing TE tunnels.

4.3. TE Delete

   <TE Delete> refers to an action issued from MDSC to PNC to delete
   existing TE tunnels.

4.4. TE Topology Update (for TE resources)

   <TE Topology Update> is a primitive specifically related to MPI to
   provide TE resource update between any domain controller towards
   MDSC regarding the entire content of any "domain controller" actual
   TE topology or an abstracted filtered view of TE topology depending
   on negotiated policy.

   See [TE-TOPO] for detailed YANG implementation of TE topology
   update.

   <TE Topology Update> ::= <TE-topology-list>

   <TE-topology-list> ::= <TE-topology> [<TE-topology-list>]

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                  [Page 9]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

   <TE-topology> ::= [<Abstraction>] <TE-Topology-identifier> <Node-
   list> <Link-list>

   <Node-list> ::= <Node>[<Node-list>]

   <Node> ::= <Node> <TE Termination Point-list>

   <TE Termination Point-list> ::= <TE Termination Point>
   [<TE-Termination Point-list>]

   <Link-list> ::= <Link>[<Link-list>]

   Where

   <Abstraction> provides information on level of abstraction (as
   determined a priori).

   <TE-topology-identifier> is an identifier that identifies a specific
   te-topology, e.g., te-types:te-topology-id [TE-TOPO].

   <Node-list> is detailed information related to a specific node
   belonging to a te-topology, e.g., te-node-attributes [TE-TOPO].

   <Link-list> is information related to the specific link related
   belonging to a te-topology, e.g., te-link-attributes [TE-TOPO].

   <TE Termination Point-list> is detailed information
   associated with the termination points of te-link related to a
   specific node, e.g., interface-switching-capability [TE-TOPO].

4.5. Path Compute

   <Path Compute> consists of Request and Reply. Request refers to an
   action from MDSC to PNC to request a path computation.

   <Path Compute> Reply refers to the reply in response to <Path
   Compute> Request.

   The context of <path-compute> is described in [Path-Compute].

5. VN Objects

   This section provides a list of objects associated to VN action
   primitives.

5.1. VN Identifier

   <VN Identifier> is a unique identifier of the VN.

5.2. VN Service Characteristics

   VN Service Characteristics describes the customer/application
   requirements against the VNs to be instantiated.

   <VN Service Characteristics> ::= <VN Connectivity Type>

                                    (<VN Traffic Matrix>...)

                                    <VN Survivability>

   Where

   <VN Connectivity Type> ::= <P2P>|<P2MP>|<MP2MP>|<MP2P>|<Multi-
   destination>

   The Connectivity Type identifies the type of required VN Service. In
   addition to the classical type of services (e.g. P2P/P2MP etc.),
   ACTN defines the "multi-destination" service that is a new P2P
   service where the end points are not fixed. They can be chosen among
   a list of pre-configured end points or dynamically provided by the
   CNC.

   <VN Traffic Matrix> ::= <Bandwidth>

                           [<VN Constraints>]

   The VN Traffic Matrix represents the traffic matrix parameters for
   the required the service connectivity. Bandwidth is a mandatory
   parameter and a number of optional constrains can be specified in
   the <VN Constrains> (e.g. diversity, cost). They can include
   objective functions and TE metrics bounds as specified in [RFC5441].

   Further details on the VN constraints are specified below:

         <VN Constraints> ::= [<Layer Protocol>]

                              [<Diversity>]

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

                              [<Shared Risk>]

                              ( <Metric> | <VN Objective Function> )

      Where:

      <Layer Protocol> identifies the layer topology at which the VN
      service is requested. It could be for example MPLS, ODU, and OCh.

      <Diversity> allows asking for diversity constraints for a VN
      Instantiate/Modify or a VN Path Compute. For example, a new VN or
      a path is requested in total diversity from an existing one (e.g.
      diversity exclusion).

            <Diversity> ::= (<VN-exclusion> (<VN-id>...)) |

                     (<VN-Member-exclusion> (<VN-Member-id>...))

      <Shared Risk> is used to get the SRLG associated with the
      different tunnels composing a VN. Based on the realization of VN
      required, group of physical resources can be impacted by the same
      risk. VN member (i.e., edge-to-edge link) can be impacted by this
      shared risk.

      <Metric> can include all the Metrics (cost, delay, delay
      variation, latency), bandwidth utilization parameters defined and
      referenced by [RFC3630] and [RFC7471].

      <VN Objective Function> See Section 5.4.

   <VN Survivability> describes all attributes related to the VN
   recovery level and its survivability policy enforced by the
   customers/applications.

      <VN Survivability> ::= <VN Recovery Level>

                              [<VN Tunnel Recovery Level>]

                              [<VN Survivability Policy>]

         Where:

         <VN Recovery Level> is a value representing the requested
         level of resiliency required against the VN. The following
         values are defined:

         . Unprotected VN

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

         . VN with per tunnel recovery: The recovery level is defined
            against the tunnels composing the VN and it is specified in
            the <VN Tunnel Recovery Level>.

         <VN Tunnel Recovery Level> ::= <0:1>|<1+1>|<1:1>|<1:N>|<M:N>|

                              <On the fly restoration>

         The VN Tunnel Recovery Level indicates the type of protection
         or restoration mechanism applied to the VN. It augments the
         recovery types defined in [RFC4427].

         <VN Survivability Policy> ::= [<Local Reroute Allowed>]

         Where:

          <Local Reroute Allowed> is a delegation policy to the Server
          to allow or not a local reroute fix upon a failure of the
          primary LSP.

          <Domain Preference> is only applied on the MPI where the MDSC
          (client) provides a domain preference to each PNC (server),
          e.g., when an inter-domain link fails, then PNC can choose
          the alternative peering with this info.

          <Push Allowed> is a policy that allows a server to trigger an
          updated VN topology upon failure without an explicit request
          from the client. Push action can be set as default unless
          otherwise specified.

          <Incremental Update> is another policy that triggers an
          incremental update from the server since the last period of
          update. Incremental update can be set as default unless
          otherwise specified.

5.3. VN End-Point

   <VN End-Point> Object describes the VN's customer end-point
   characteristics.

   <VN End-Point> ::= (<Access Point Identifier>

                      [<Access Link Capability>]

                      [<Source Indicator>])...

      Where:

     <Access point identifier> represents a unique identifier of the
     client end-point. They are used by the customer to ask for the
     setup of a virtual network creation. A <VN End-Point> is defined
     against each AP in the network and is shared between customer and
     provider. Both the customer and the provider will map it against
     his own physical resources.

     <Access Link Capability> identifies the capabilities of the access
     link related to the given access point. (e.g., max-bandwidth,
     bandwidth availability, etc.)

    <Source Indicator> indicates if an end-point is source or not.

5.4. VN Objective Function

   The VN Objective Function applies to each VN member (i.e., each E2E
   tunnel) of a VN.

   The VN Objective Function can reuse objective functions defined in
   [RFC5541] section 4.

   For a single path computation, the following objective functions are
   defined:

          o MCP is the Minimum Cost Path with respect to a specific
             metric (e.g. shortest path).
          o MLP is the Minimum Load Path, that means find a path
             composted by te-link least loaded.
          o MBP is the Maximum residual Bandwidth Path.

Lee & Belotti, et al.   Expire April 16, 2018                 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft             ACTN Info Model                 October 2017

   For a concurrent path computation, the following objective functions
   are defined:

          o MBC is to Minimize aggregate Bandwidth Consumption.
          o MLL is to Minimize the Load of the most loaded Link.
          o MCC is to Minimize the Cumulative Cost of a set of paths.

5.5. VN Action Status

   <VN Action Status> is the status indicator whether the VN has been
   successfully instantiated, modified, or deleted in the server
   network or not in response to a particular VN action.

   Note that this action status object can be implicitly indicated and
   thus not included in any of the VN primitives discussed in Section
   2.3.

5.6. VN Topology

   When a VN is seen by the customer as a topology, it is referred to
   as VN topology. This is associated with VN Type 2, which is
   comprised of virtual nodes virtual and links.

   <VN Topology> ::= <VN node list> <VN link list>

   <VN node list> ::= <VN node> [<VN node list>]

   <VN link list> :: = <VN link>  [<VN link list>]

5.7. VN Member

   <VN Member> describes details of a VN Member which is a list of a set
   of VN Members represented as <VN_Member_List>.

   <VN_Member_List> ::= <VN Member> [<VN_Member_List>]

   Where <VN Member> ::= <Ingress VN End-Point>

                         [<VN Associated LSP>]

   <Ingress VN End-Point> is the VN End-Point information for the
   ingress portion of the AP. See Section 5.3 for <VN End-Point>
   details.

   <Egress VN End-Point> is the VN End-Point information for the egress
   portion of the AP. See Section 5.3 for <VN End-Point> details.

   <VN Associated LSP> describes the instantiated LSPs in the
   Provider's network for the VN Type 1. It describes the instantiated
   LSPs over the VN topology for VN Type 2.

5.7.1. VN Computed Path

   The VN Computed Path is the list of paths obtained after the VN path
   computation request from higher controller. Note that the computed
   path is to be distinguished from the LSP. When the computed path is
   signaled in the network (and thus the resource is reserved for that
   path), it becomes an LSP.

   <VN Computed Path> ::= (<Path>...)

5.7.2. VN Service Preference

   This section provides VN Service preference. VN Service is defined
   in Section 2.

   <VN Service Preference> ::= [<Location Service Preference >]

                           [<Client-specific Preference >]

                           [<End-Point Dynamic Selection Preference >]

   Where

      <Location Service Preference describes the End-Point Location's
      (e.g. Data Centers) support for certain Virtual Network Functions
      (VNFs) (e.g., security function, firewall capability, etc.) and
      is used to find the path that satisfies the VNF constraint.

      <Client-specific Preference> describes any preference related to
      Virtual Network Service (VNS) that application/client can enforce
      via CNC towards lower level controllers. For example, permission

      the correct selection from the network of the destination related
      to the indicated VNF It is e.g. the case of VM migration among
      data center and CNC can enforce specific policy that can permit
      MDSC/PNC to calculate the correct path for the connectivity
      supporting the data center interconnection required by
      application.

      <End-Point Dynamic Selection Preference> describes if the End-
      Point (e.g. Data Center) can support load balancing, disaster
      recovery or VM migration and so can be part of the selection by
      MDSC following service Preference enforcement by CNC.
