1. Introduction
This document defines a data model for the Babel routing protocol
[RFC8966]. The data model is defined using YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] data
modeling language and is Network Management Datastore Architecture
(NDMA) [RFC8342] compatible. It is based on the Babel Information
Model [I-D.ietf-babel-information-model].
1.1. Note to RFC Editor

this draft, please see YANG Tree Diagrams [RFC8340].
2. Babel Module
This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] data model for the
configuration and management of Babel. The YANG module is based on
the Babel Information Model [I-D.ietf-babel-information-model].
2.1. Information Model
There are a few things that should be noted between the Babel
Information Model and this data module. The information model
mandates the definition of some of the attributes, e.g. babel-
implementation-version or the babel-self-router-id. These attributes
are marked a read-only objects in the information module as well as
in this data module. However, there is no way in the data module to
mandate that a read-only attribute be present. It is up to the
implementation of this data module to make sure that the attributes
that are marked read-only and are mandatory are indeed present.
2.2. Tree Diagram
The following diagram illustrates a top level hierarchy of the model.
In addition to information like the version number implemented by
this device, the model contains subtrees on constants, interfaces,
routes and security.

module: ietf-babel
augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
/rt:control-plane-protocol:
+--rw babel!
+--ro version? string
+--rw enable boolean
+--ro router-id? binary
+--ro seqno? uint16
+--rw stats-enable? boolean

+--rw interfaces* [reference]
| ...
+--rw mac-key-set* [name]
| ...
+--rw dtls* [name]

+--ro routes* [prefix]
...
The interfaces subtree describes attributes such as interface object
that is being referenced, the type of link as enumerated by metric-
algorithm and split-horizon and whether the interface is enabled or
not.
The constants subtree describes the UDP port used for sending and
receiving Babel messages, and the multicast group used to send and
receive announcements on IPv6.
The routes subtree describes objects such as the prefix for which the
route is advertised, a reference to the neighboring route, and next-
hop address.
Finally, for security two subtree are defined to contain MAC keys and
DTLS certificates. The mac subtree contains keys used with the MAC
security mechanism. The boolean flag default-apply indicates whether
the set of MAC keys is automatically applied to new interfaces. The
dtls subtree contains certificates used with DTLS security mechanism.
Similar to the MAC mechanism, the boolean flag default-apply
indicates whether the set of DTLS certificates is automatically
applied to new interfaces.
2.3. YANG Module
This YANG module augments the YANG Routing Management [RFC8349]
module to provide a common framework for all routing subsystems. By
augmenting the module it provides a common building block for routes,
and Routing Information Bases (RIBs). It also has a reference to an
Jethanandani & Stark Expires August 1, 2021 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model January 2021
interface defined by A YANG Data Model for Interface Management
[RFC8343].
A router running Babel routing protocol can determine the parameters
it needs to use for an interface based on the interface name. For
example, it can detect that eth0 is a wired interface, and that wlan0
is a wireless interface. This is not true for a tunnel interface,
where the link parameters need to be configured explicitly.
For a wired interface, it will assume '2-out-of-3' 'metric-
algorithm', and 'split-horizon' set to true. On other hand, for a
wireless interface it will assume 'etx' 'metric-algorithm', and
'split-horizon' set to false. However, if the wired link is
connected to a wireless radio, the values can be overriden by setting
'metric-algorithm' to 'etx', and 'split-horizon' to false.
Similarly, an interface that is a metered 3G link, and used for
fallback connectivity needs much higher default time constants, e.g.
'mcast-hello-interval', and 'update-interval', in order to avoid
carrying control traffic as much as possible.
In addition to the modules used above, this module imports
definitions from Common YANG Data Types [RFC6991], and references
HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication [RFC2104], Using HMAC-
SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 [RFC4868], Datagram Transport
Layer Security Version 1.2 [RFC6347], The Blake2 Cryptographic Hash
and Message Authentication Code (MAC) [RFC7693], Babel Information
Model [I-D.ietf-babel-information-model], and The Babel Routing
Protocol [RFC8966].

3. IANA Considerations
This document registers one URIs and one YANG module.
3.1. URI Registrations
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
3.2. YANG Module Name Registration
This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names
registry YANG [RFC6020].
Name:ietf-babel
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
prefix: babel
reference: RFC XXXX
Jethanandani & Stark Expires August 1, 2021 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model January 2021
4. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocol such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer
is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and
the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM [RFC8341]) provides the means
to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured
subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are
writable/created/deleted (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 from a config true perspective:
babel: This container includes an "enable" parameter that can be used
to enable or disable use of Babel on a router
babel/constants: This container includes configuration parameters
that can prevent reachability if misconfigured.
babel/interfaces: This leaf-list has configuration parameters that
can enable/disable security mechanisms and change performance
characteristics of the Babel protocol.
babel/hmac and babel/dtls: These contain security credentials that
influence whether packets are trusted.
Some of the readable data or config false 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 from a
config false perpective:
babel: Access to the information in the various nodes can disclose
the network topology. Additionally, the routes used by a network
device may be used to mount a subsequent attack on traffic traversing
the network device.
babel/hmac and babel/dtls: These contain security credentials,
include private credentials of the router.
Jethanandani & Stark Expires August 1, 2021 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft Babel YANG model January 2021
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability from a RPC operation
perspective:
babel/hmac/hmac/keys/test and babel/dtls/certs/test: These can be
used in a brute force attack to identify the credentials being used
to secure the Babel protocol.

This section is devoted to examples that demonstrate how Babel can be
configured.
A.1. Statistics Gathering Enabled
In this example, interface eth0 is being configured for routing
protocol Babel, and statistics gathering is enabled. For security,
HMAC-SHA256 is supported. Every sent Babel packets is signed with
the key value provided, and every received Babel packet is verified
with the same key value.

A.3. Override Default Properties
<!-- In this example, babeld is configured on three interfaces
interface eth0
interface eth1 type wireless
interface tun0 type tunnel
Here, interface eth1 is an Ethernet bridged to a wireless radio, so
babeld's autodetection fails, and the interface type needs to be
configured manually. Tunnels are not detected automatically, so this
needs to be specified.
This is equivalent to the following:
interface eth0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true
interface eth1 metric-algorithm etx split-horizon false
interface tun0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true

A.4. Configuring other Properties
<!-- In this example, two interfaces are configured for babeld
interface eth0
interface ppp0 hello-interval 30 update-interval 120
Here, ppp0 is a metered 3G link used for fallback connectivity. It runs
with much higher than default time constants in order to avoid control
traffic as much as possible.
