1.  Introduction

   There is a need for standard mechanism to allow the specification and
   implementation of the transactions part of network tests.  The
   mechanism should allow the control and monitoring of the data plane
   traffic in a transactional way.  In addition to that the mechanism
   should allow the configuration of internal near-end and far-end
   interface loopbacks.  This document defines YANG modules for test
   traffic generator, analyzer and internal interface loopback.

1.1.  Terminology

   The keywords "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].
