Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
1. Introduction
The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) [RFC5357] is used to
measure network performance parameters such as latency, bandwidth,
and packet loss by sending probe packets and measuring their
experience in the network. To date, TWAMP implementations do not
come with a standard management framework and, as such, configuration
depends on proprietary mechanisms developed by the corresponding
TWAMP vendor. This document addresses this gap by formally
specifying the TWAMP data model using YANG.
1.1. Motivation
In current TWAMP deployments the lack of a standardized data model
limits the flexibility to dynamically instantiate TWAMP-based
measurements across equipment from different vendors. In large,
virtualized, and dynamically instantiated infrastructures where
network functions are placed according to orchestration algorithms as
discussed in [I-D.unify-nfvrg-challenges][I-D.unify-nfvrg-devops],
proprietary mechanisms for managing TWAMP measurements pose severe
limitations with respect to programmability.
Two major trends call for revisiting the standardization on TWAMP
management aspects. First, we expect that in the coming years large-
scale and multi-vendor TWAMP deployments will become the norm. From
an operations perspective, dealing with several vendor-specific TWAMP
configuration mechanisms is simply unsustainable in this context.
Second, the increasingly software-defined and virtualized nature of
network infrastructures, based on dynamic service chains [NSC] and
programmable control and management planes [RFC7426] requires a well-
defined data model for TWAMP implementations. This document defines
such a TWAMP data model and specifies it formally using the YANG data
modeling language [RFC6020].
1.2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
1.3. Document Organization
The rest of this document is organized as follows. Section 2
presents the scope and applicability of this document. Section 3
provides a high-level overview of the TWAMP data model. Section 4
details the configuration parameters of the data model and Section 5
specifies in YANG the TWAMP data model. Section 6 lists illustrative
Civil, et al. Expires June 26, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
examples which conform to the YANG data model specified in this
document. Appendix A elaborates these examples further.
2. Scope, Model, and Applicability
The purpose of this document is the specification of a vendor-
independent data model for TWAMP implementations.
Figure 1 illustrates a redrawn version of the TWAMP logical model
found in Section 1.2 of [RFC5357]. The figure is annotated with
pointers to the UML diagrams provided in this document and associated
with the data model of the four logical entities in a TWAMP
deployment, namely the TWAMP Control-Client, Server, Session-Sender
and Session-Reflector.
As per [RFC5357], unlabeled links in Figure 1 are left unspecified
and may be proprietary protocols.

Figure 1: Annotated TWAMP logical model
As per [RFC5357], a TWAMP implementation may follow a simplified
logical model, in which the same node acts both as Control-Client and
Session-Sender, while another node acts at the same time as TWAMP
Server and Session-Reflector. Figure 2 illustrates this simplified
logical model and indicates the interaction between the TWAMP
configuration client and server using, for instance, NETCONF
[RFC6241] or RESTCONF [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf].

Figure 2: Simplified TWAMP model and protocols
We note that the data model defined in this document is orthogonal to
the specific protocol used between the Config client and Config
server to communicate the TWAMP configuration parameters.
Operational actions such as how TWAMP-Test sessions are started and
stopped, how perfmormance measurement results are retrieved, or how
stored results are cleared, and so on, are not addressed by the
configuration model defined in this docuemnt. As noted above, such
operational actions are not part of the TWAMP specification [RFC5357]
and hence are out of scope of this document. See also Appendix B.
3. Data Model Overview
The TWAMP data model includes four categories of configuration items.
Global configuration items relate to parameters that are set on a per
device level. For example, the administrative status of the device
with respect to whether it allows TWAMP sessions and, if so, in what
capacity (e.g. Control-Client, Server or both), are typical
instances of global configuration items.
A second category includes attributes that can be configured on a per
TWAMP-Control connection basis, such as the Server IP address.
A third category includes attributes related to per TWAMP-Test
session attributes, for instance setting different values in the
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field.
Finally, the data model includes attributes that relate to the
operational state of the TWAMP implementation.

Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
As we describe the TWAMP data model in the remaining sections of this
document, readers should keep in mind the functional entity grouping
illustrated in Figure 1.
3.1. Control-Client
A TWAMP Control-Client has an administrative status field set at the
device level that indicates whether the node is enabled to function
as such.
Each TWAMP Control-Client is associated with zero or more TWAMP-
Control connections. The main configuration parameters of each
control connection are:
o A name which can be used to uniquely identify at the Control-
Client a particular control connection. This name is necessary
for programmability reasons because at the time of creation of a
TWAMP-Control connection not all IP and TCP port number
information needed to uniquely identify the connection is
available.
o The IP address of the interface the Control-Client will use for
connections.
o The IP address of the remote TWAMP Server.
o Authentication and Encryption attributes such as KeyID, Token and
the Client Initialization Vector (Client-IV); see also the last
paragraph of Section 6 in [RFC4656] and [RFC4086].
Each TWAMP-Control connection, in turn, is associated with zero or
more TWAMP-Test sessions. For each test session we note the
following configuration items:
o The test session name that uniquely identifies a particular test
session at the Control-Client and Session-Sender. Similarly to
the control connections above, this unique test session name is
needed because at the time of creation of a TWAMP-Test session,
for example, the source UDP port number is not known to uniquely
identify the test session.
o The IP address and UDP port number of the Session-Sender on the
path under test by TWAMP.
o The IP address and UDP port number of the Session-Reflector on
said path.
Civil, et al. Expires June 26, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
o Information pertaining to the test packet stream, such as the test
starting time, which performance metric is to be used
[I-D.ietf-ippm-metric-registry], or whether the test should be
repeated.
3.2. Server
Each TWAMP Server has an administrative status field set at the
device level to indicate whether the node is enabled to function as a
TWAMP Server.
Each Server is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Control
connections. Each control connection is uniquely identified by the
4-tuple {Control-Client IP address, Control-Client TCP port number,
Server IP address, Server TCP port}. Control connection configuration
items on a TWAMP Server are read-only.
3.3. Session-Sender
A TWAMP Session-Sender has an administrative status field set at the
device level that indicates whether the node is enabled to function
as such.
There is one Session-Sender instance for each TWAMP-Test session that
is initiated from the sending device. Primary configuration fields
include:
o The test session name that MUST be identical with the
corresponding test session name on the TWAMP Control-Client
(Section 3.1)
o The control connection name, which along with the test session
name uniquely identify the TWAMP Session-Sender instance
o Information pertaining to the test packet stream, such as, for
example, the number of test packets and the packet distribution to
be employed; see also [RFC3432].
3.4. Session-Reflector
Each TWAMP Session-Reflector has an administrative status field set
at the device level to indicate whether the node is enabled to
function as such.
Each Session-Reflector is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Test
sessions. For each test session, the REFWAIT parameter (Section 4.2
of [RFC5357] can be configured.
Civil, et al. Expires June 26, 2017 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
Read-only access to other data model parameters, such as the Sender
IP address is foreseen. Each test session can be uniquely identified
by the 4-tuple mentioned in Section 3.2.
4. Data Model Parameters
This section defines the TWAMP data model using UML and introduces
selected parameters associated with the four TWAMP logical entities.
The complete TWAMP data model specification is provided in the YANG
module presented in Section 5.2.
4.1. Control-Client
The client container (see Figure 3) holds items that are related to
the configuration of the TWAMP Control-Client logical entity (recall
Figure 1).
The client container includes an administrative configuration
parameter (client/admin-state) that indicates whether the device is
allowed to initiate TWAMP-Control connections.

Figure 3: TWAMP Control-Client UML class diagram
The client container holds a list (mode-preference-chain) which
specifies the Mode values according to their preferred order of use
by the operator of this Control-Client, including the authentication
and encryption Modes. Specifically, mode-preference-chain lists each
priority (expressed as a 16-bit unsigned integer, where zero is the
highest priority and subsequent values monotonically increasing) with
their corresponding mode (expressed as a 32-bit Hexadecimal value).
Civil, et al. Expires June 26, 2017 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
Depending on the Modes available in the Server Greeting, the Control-
Client MUST choose the highest priority Mode from the configured
mode-preference-chain list.
Note that the list of preferred Modes may set bit position
combinations when necessary, such as when referring to the extended
TWAMP features in [RFC5618], [RFC5938], [RFC6038], and [RFC7717]. If
the Control-Client cannot determine an acceptable Mode, it MUST
respond with zero Mode bits set in the Set-up Response message,
indicating it will not continue with the control connection.
In addition, the client container holds a list named key-chain which
relates KeyIDs with the respective secret keys. Both the Server and
the Control-Client use the same mappings from KeyIDs to shared
secrets (key-id and secret-key in Figure 3, respectively). The
Server, being prepared to conduct sessions with more than one
Control-Client, uses KeyIDs to choose the appropriate secret-key; a
Control-Client would typically have different secret keys for
different Servers. The secret-key is the shared secret, an octet
string of arbitrary length whose interpretation as a text string is
unspecified. The key-id and secret-key encoding should follow
Section 9.4 of [RFC6020]. The derived key length (dkLen in
[RFC2898]) MUST be 128-bits for the AES Session-key used for
encryption and a 256-bit HMAC-SHA1 Session-key used for
authentication (see Section 6.10 of [RFC4656]).
Each client container also holds a list of ctrl-connections, where
each item in the list describes a TWAMP control connection that will
be initiated by this Control-Client. There SHALL be one instance of
ctrl-connection per TWAMP-Control (TCP) connection that is to be
initiated from this device.
In turn, each ctrl-connection holds a list of test-session-request.
test-session-request holds information associated with the Control-
Client for this test session. This includes information that is
associated with the Request-TW-Session/Accept-Session message
exchange (see Section 3.5 of [RFC5357]).
There SHALL be one instance of test-session-request for each TWAMP-
Test session that is to be negotiated by this TWAMP-Control
connection via a Request-TW-Session/Accept-Session exchange.
The Control-Client is also responsible for scheduling TWAMP-Test
sessions and collecting the respective results, so test-session-
request holds information related to these actions (e.g. pm-index,
repeat-interval).

Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
4.2. Server
The server container (see Figure 4) holds items that are related to
the configuration of the TWAMP Server logical entity (recall
Figure 1).
The server container includes an administrative configuration
parameter (server/admin-state) that indicates whether the device is
allowed to receive TWAMP-Control connections.
A device operating in the Server role cannot configure attributes on
a per TWAMP-Control connection basis, as it has no foreknowledge of
the incoming TWAMP-Control connections to be received. Consequently,
any parameter that the Server might want to apply to an incoming
control connection must be configured at the overall Server level and
are applied to all incoming TWAMP-Control connections.

Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
Each server container holds a list named key-chain which relates
KeyIDs with the respective secret keys. As mentioned in Section 4.1,
both the Server and the Control-Client use the same mappings from
KeyIDs to shared secrets. The Server, being prepared to conduct
sessions with more than one Control-Client, uses KeyIDs to choose the
appropriate secret-key; a Control-Client would typically have
different secret keys for different Servers. key-id tells the Server
which shared-secret the Control-Client wishes to use for
authentication or encryption.
Each incoming control connection that is active on the Server will be
represented by an instance of a ctrl-connection object. There SHALL
be one instance of ctrl-connection per incoming TWAMP-Control (TCP)
connection that is received and active on the Server device.
All items in the ctrl-connection object are read-only. Each instance
of ctrl-connection can be uniquely identified by the 4-tuple {client-
ip, client-tcp-port, server-ip, server-tcp-port}.
4.3. Session-Sender
The session-sender container, illustrated in Figure 5, holds items
that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Session-Sender
logical entity.
The session-sender container includes an administrative parameter
(session-sender/admin-state) that controls whether the device is
allowed to initiate TWAMP-Test sessions.

Each TWAMP-Test session initiated by the Session-Sender will be

4.4. Session-Reflector

that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Session-Reflector
logical entity.

The session-reflector container includes an administrative parameter
(session-reflector/admin-state) that controls whether the device is

A device operating in the Session-Reflector role cannot configure
attributes on a per-session basis, as it has no foreknowledge of what
incoming sessions it will receive. As such, any parameter that the
Session-Reflector might want to apply to an incoming TWAMP-Test
session must be configured at the overall Session-Reflector level and
are applied to all incoming sessions.

Figure 6: TWAMP Session-Reflector UML class diagram
Each incoming TWAMP-Test session that is active on the Session-
Reflector SHALL be represented by an instance of a test-session
object. All items in the test-session object are read-only.
Instances of test-session are indexed by a session identifier (sid).
This value is auto-allocated by the TWAMP Server as test session
Civil, et al. Expires June 26, 2017 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft TWAMP YANG Data Model December 2016
requests are received, and communicated back to the Control-Client in
the SID field of the Accept-Session message; see Section 4.3 of
[RFC6038].
When attempting to retrieve operational data for active test sessions
from a Session-Reflector device, the user will not know what sessions
are currently active on that device, or what SIDs have been auto-
allocated for these test sessions. If the user has network access to
the Control-Client device, then it is possible to read the data for
this session under client/ctrl-connection/test-session-request/sid
and obtain the SID (see Figure 3). The user may then use this SID
value as an index to retrieve an individual session-reflector/test-
session instance on the Session-Reflector device.
If the user has no network access to the Control-Client device, then
the only option is to retrieve all test-session instances from the
Session-Reflector device. This could be problematic if a large
number of test sessions are currently active on that device.
Each Session-Reflector TWAMP-Test session contains the following
4-tuple: {parent-connection-client-ip, parent-connection-client-tcp-
port, parent-connection-server-ip, parent-connection-server-tcp-
port}. This 4-tuple MUST correspond to the equivalent 4-tuple
{client-ip, client-tcp-port, server-ip, server-tcp-port} in the
server/ctrl-connection object. This 4-tuple allows the user to trace
back from the TWAMP-Test session to the (parent) TWAMP-Control
connection that negotiated this test session.

6. Data Model Examples
This section presents a simple but complete example of configuring
all four entities in Figure 1, based on the YANG module specified in
Section 5. The example is illustrative in nature, but aims to be
self-contained, i.e. were it to be executed in a real TWAMP
implementation it would lead to a correctly configured test session.
For completeness, examples are provided for both IPv4 and IPv6.
A more elaborated example, which also includes authentication
parameters, is provided in Appendix A.
6.1. Control-Client
The following configuration example shows a Control-Client with
client/admin-state enabled. In a real implementation following
Figure 2 this would permit the initiation of TWAMP-Control
connections and TWAMP-Test sessions.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<twamp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-twamp">
<client>
<admin-state>true</admin-state>
</client>
</twamp>
</config>
The following configuration example shows a Control-Client with two
instances of client/ctrl-connection, one called "RouterA" and another
called "RouterB".
Each TWAMP-Control connection is to a different Server. The control
connection named "RouterA" has two test session requests. The TWAMP-
Control connection named "RouterB" has no TWAMP-Test session
requests.

6.2. Server
This configuration example shows a Server with server/admin-state
enabled, which permits a device following Figure 2 to respond to
TWAMP-Control connections and TWAMP-Test sessions.

7. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in Section 5 is designed to be accessed,
among other protocols, via NETCONF [RFC6241]. Protocols like NETCONF
use a secure transport layer like SSH that is mandatory to implement.
The NETCONF Access Control Module (NACM) [RFC6536] provides the means
to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured set of
NETCONF protocol operations and attributes.
There are a number of nodes defined in this YANG module which are
writeable. These data nodes may be considered sensitive and
vulnerable to attacks in some network environments. Ability to write
into these nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect
on the devices that support this feature.
Examples of nodes that are particularly vulnerable include several
timeout values put in the protocol to protect against sessions that
are not active but are consuming resources.
8. IANA Considerations
This document registers a URI in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].
Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registration is
requested to be made.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-twamp

Appendix B. TWAMP Operational Commands
TWAMP operational commands could be performed programmatically or
manually, e.g. using a command-line interface (CLI).
With respect to programmability, YANG can be used to define NETCONF
Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), therefore it would be, in principle,
possible to define TWAMP RPC operations for actions such as starting
or stopping control connections or test sessions or groups of
sessions; retrieving results; clearing stored results, and so on.
However, [RFC5357] does not attempt to describe such operational
actions. Refer also to Section 2 and the unlabeled links in
Figure 1. In actual deployments different TWAMP implementations may
support different sets of operational commands, with different
restrictions. Therefore, this document considers it the
responsibility of the individual implementation to define its
corresponding TWAMP operational commands data model.
