       NMDA Base Notification for Applied Intended Configuration
               draft-wu-netmod-base-notification-nmda-01

Abstract

   The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)and RESTCONF provides
   mechanisms to manipulate configuration datastores.  NMDA introduces
   additional datastores for systems that support more advanced
   processing chains converting configuration to operational state.
   However, client applications are not able to be aware of common
   events in these additional datstores of the management system, such
   as a applied configuration state change in NETCONF server or RESTCONF
   server, that may impact management applications.  This document
   define a YANG module that allows a client to receive additional
   notifications for some common system events pertaining to the Network
   Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].

1.  Introduction

   The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241] and RESTCONF
   [RFC8040] provides mechanisms to manipulate configuration datastores.
   NMDA introduces additional datastores (e.g., <intended>,
   <operational>) for systems that support more advanced processing
   chains converting configuration to operational state.  However,
   client applications are not able to be aware of common events in
   those additional datastores of the management system, e.g., there are
   many background activities (e.g.,NMDA datastore consistency checking
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-nmda-diff]) that happen during the time that
   configuration is committed to <running> to the time that the
   configuration is actually applied to <operational>.  It is possible
   that some configuration could not be applied to <operational> due to
   either validation issues, or missing resource, etc.  There is a need
   for user to know the applying result of <intended> datastore and the
   reason why the configuration were not applied.

   This document define a YANG module that allows a NMS client to
   receive additional notifications for some common system events
   pertaining to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
   defined in [RFC8342].  These notifications are designed to support
   the monitoring of the base system events within the server and not
   specific to any network management protocols such as NETCONF and
   RESTCONF.

   The solution presented in this document is backwards compatible with
   [RFC6470].

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "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] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   The following terms are defined in [RFC8342] and are not redefined
   here:

   o  operational state datastore

   o  running configuration datastore

   o  intended configuration datastore

2.  NMDA Base Notifications for applied intended configuration

2.1.  Overview

   The YANG module in NETCONF Base Notifications [RFC6470] specifies the
   following 5 event notifications for the 'NETCONF' stream to notify a
   client application that the NETCONF server state has changed:

   o  netconf-config-change

   o  netconf-capability-change

   o  netconf-session-start

   o  netconf-session-end

   o  netconf-confirmed-commit

   These event notifications used within the 'NETCONF' stream are
   accessible to clients via the subscription mechanism described in
   [RFC5277].

   This document introduces NMDA specific extension which allows a
   client to receive 2 notifications for additional common system events
   as follows:

   apply-intended-start:  Generated when a server with network
      management protocol support detects that configuration applied

Wu, et al.               Expires August 29, 2019                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft           Base Notifications NMDA           February 2019

      from intended has started.  A server MAY optionally generate this
      event for both NETCONF session and non-NETCONF management
      sessions.  Note that configuration applying process of the learned
      configuration, system-provided configuration, and default values
      defined by data models is not relevant to the events defined in
      this document.  The apply-intended-start starts at the time when
      configuration is successfully committed to <running>, i.e., the
      confirmed-commit procedure has been completed.  In case two
      commits are detected, if the second commit is confirmed commit,
      the confirming commit and confirmed commit should be treated as
      the same commit, i.e., intended-apply-start should not be sent
      again for persistent confirmed commit.  If the second commit is
      not confirmed commit, intended-apply-start for the second commit
      should not be sent until nmda-intended-applied for the first
      commit has been sent.

   apply-intended-updated:  Generated when a server with network
      management protocol support detects that all or a set of
      configurations are successfully applied or none of them are
      applied.  Indicates the event and the current state of the
      intended configuration applying.  In addition, NMDA datastore
      compare [I-D.ietf-netmod-nmda-diff] should be used to check which
      part of intended configuration data is applied or which part of
      intended configuration data is not applied.  A server MAY report
      events for non- NETCONF management sessions (such as
      RESTCONF,gPRC), using the 'session-id' value of zero.

   The following figure shows event notification sequence defined in
   this document.

     ct = config true; cf = config false

   These notification messages are accessible to clients via either the
   subscription mechanism described in [RFC5277] or dynamic subscription
   mechanism and configured subscription mechanism described in [I-
   D.ietf-netconf-netconf-event-notifications].

2.2.  Data Model Design

   The data model is defined in the ietf-nmda-notifications YANG module.
   Its structure is shown in the following figure.  The notation syntax
   follows [RFC8340].

2.3.  Relation with NMDA Datastore Compare

   NMDA datastore compare [NMDA-DIFF]could be used to check which part
   of intended configuration data is applied or which part of intended
   configuration data is not applied.  On the other hand, the event
   notification for apply-intended-start or netconf-confirmed-commit can
   be used to trigger NMDA datastore compare procedure to be started.

3.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via
   the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241].  The lowest NETCONF layer is the
   secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure
   transport is SSH, defined in [RFC6242].

   Some of the readable data nodes in this 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:

   /apply-intended-start:

      Event type itself indicates that a server may start applying
      configuration from intended.  It may be possible for an attacker
      to slow down intended validation or update intended independently
      of running by somehow taking advantage of configuration template
      transformation.

   /apply-intended-updated:

      Event type itself indicates that a server may be finished applying
      configuration from intended.  This event could alert an attacker
      that a datastore may have been altered.

Internet-Draft           Base Notifications NMDA           February 2019

   /apply-intended-updated/apply-result:

      Indicates the specific applied intended applied event state change
      that occurred.  A value of 'ok' probably indicates that intended
      data applying procedure has completed.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document registers one XML namespace URN in the 'IETF XML
   registry', following the format defined in [RFC3688]:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-nmda-notifications

      Registrant Contact: The IESG.

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

   This document registers one module name in the 'YANG Module Names'
   registry, defined in [RFC7950]:

      name: ietf-nmda-notifications

      prefix: ndn

      namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-nmda-notifications

      RFC: xxxx
