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.  This document defines YANG modules
   for test traffic generator, analyzer and internal interface loopback.

1.2.  Problem Statement

   Network interconnect tests require active network elements part of
   the tested network that generate test traffic and network elements
   that analyze the test traffic at one or more points of its path.  A
   network interconnect tester is a device that can either generate test
   traffic, analyze test traffic or both.  Here is a figure borrowed
   from [RFC2544] representing the horseshoe test setup topology
   consisting of a single tester and a single DUT connected in a network
   interconnect loop.

       |                                        |
       |            +------------+              |

                    |            |
                    +------------+

   This document attempts to address the problem of defining YANG model
   of a network interconnect tester that can be used for development of
   vendor independent network interconnect tests and utilize the
   advantages of transactional management using standard protocols like
   NETCONF.

1.3.  Solution

   The proposed model splits the design into 3 modules - 1) Traffic
   Generator module (TG), 2) Traffic Analyzer module (TA).  The modules
   are implemented as augmentations of the ietf-interfaces module adding
   configuration and state data that models the functionality of a
   tester.  The TA and TG modules concept is illustrated with the
   following diagram of a tester with two interfaces (named e0 and e1)
   conected in a loop with single DUT:

       |            +----------------+              |
       |                                            |
       |              +------------+                |
       |              |            |                |
       +------------->|    DUT     |----------------+

2.  Using the network interconnect tester model

   Basic example of how the model can be used in transactional network
   test API to control the testers part of a network and report countrer
   statistics and timing measurement data is presented in Appendix A.
   One of the examples demonstrates the use of the [RFC2544] defined
   testframe packet.

7.1.  URI Registration

   This document registers three URIs in the IETF XML registry
   [RFC3688].  Following the format in RFC 3688, the following
   registration is requested to be made:

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-traffic-generator
   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-traffic-analyzer
   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-loopback

   Registrant Contact: The IESG.

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

7.2.  YANG Module Name Registration

   This document registers three YANG module in the YANG Module Names
   registry YANG [RFC6020].

   name: ietf-traffic-generator
   namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-traffic-generator
   prefix: tg
   reference: RFC XXXX

   name: ietf-traffic-analyzer
   namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-traffic-analyzer
   prefix: ta
   reference: RFC XXXX

8.  Security Considerations

   This document does not introduce any new security concerns in
   addition to those specified in [RFC7950], section 15.

A.1.  Basic Test Program

   This program based on transactional network test API shows how the
   modules can be used:

   #Connect to network
   net=tntapi.connect("topology.xml")

   # Configure DUTs and enable traffic-analyzers
   net.node("dut0").edit( \
     "create /interfaces/interface[name='e0'] -- type=ethernetCsmacd")
   net.node("dut0").edit(
     "create /interfaces/interface[name='e1'] -- type=ethernetCsmacd")
   net.node("dut0").edit(
     "create /flows/flow[id='t0'] -- match/in-port=e0 "
     "actions/action[order='0']/output-action/out-port=e0")

   net.node("tester1").edit(

A.2.  Generating RFC2544 Testframes

   In sec.  C.2.6.4 Test Frames a detailed format is specified.  The
   frame-data leaf allows full control over the generated frames
   payload.
