Abstract

   Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) refers to the set of
   virtual network operations needed to orchestrate, control and manage
   large-scale multi-domain TE networks, so as to facilitate network
   programmability, automation, efficient resource sharing, and end-to-
   end virtual service aware connectivity and network function
   virtualization services.

   This document explains how the different types of YANG models
   defined in the Operations and Management Area and in the Routing
   Area are applicable to the ACTN framework. This document also shows
   how the ACTN architecture can be satisfied using classes of data
   model that have already been defined, and discusses the
   applicability of specific data models that are under development. It
   also highlights where new data models may need to be developed.

1. Introduction

   Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) describes a method for
   operating a Traffic Engineered (TE) network (such as an MPLS-TE
   network or a layer 1 transport network) to provide connectivity and
   virtual network services for customers of the TE network. The
   services provided can be tuned to meet the requirements (such as
   traffic patterns, quality, and reliability) of the applications
   hosted by the customers. More details about ACTN can be found in
   Section 2.

   Data models are a representation of objects that can be configured
   or monitored within a system. Within the IETF, YANG [RFC6241] is the
   language of choice for documenting data models, and YANG models have
   been produced to allow configuration or modelling of a variety of
   network devices, protocol instances, and network services. YANG data
   models have been classified in [RFC8199] and [RFC8309].

   This document shows how the ACTN architecture can be satisfied using
   various classes of data model that have already been defined, and
   discusses the applicability of specific data models that are under
   development. It also highlights where new data models may need to be
   developed.

2. Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) Architecture

    [RFC8453] describes the architecture model for ACTN including the
   entities (Customer Network Controller (CNC), Multi-domain Service

   their interfaces.

   Figure 1 depicts a high-level control and interface architecture for
   ACTN and is a reproduction of Figure 3 from [RFC8453]. A number of
   key ACTN interfaces exist for deployment and operation of ACTN-based
   networks. These are highlighted in Figure 1 (ACTN Interfaces) below:

       The CNC-MDSC Interface (CMI) is an interface between a CNC and
        an MDSC. This interface is used to communicate the service
        request or application demand. A request will include specific
        service properties, for example, services type, bandwidth and
        constraint information. These constraints SHOULD be measurable
        by MDSC and therefore visible to CNC via CMI. The CNC can also
        request the creation of the virtual network service based on
        underlying physical resources to provide network services for
        the applications. The CNC can provide the end-point
        information/characteristics together with traffic matrix
        specifying specific customer constraints.  The MDSC may also
        report potential network topology availability if queried for
        current capability from the Customer Network Controller.
        Performance monitoring is also applicable in CMI, which enables
        the MDSC to report network parameters/telemetries that may
        guide the CNC to create/change their services.

       The MDSC-PNC Interface (MPI) is an interface between a MDSC and
        a PNC. It allows the MDSC to communicate requests to
        create/delete connectivity or to modify bandwidth reservations
        in the physical network. In multi-domain environments, each PNC
        is responsible for a separate domain. The MDSC needs to
        establish multiple MPIs, one for each PNC and perform
        coordination between them to provide cross-domain connectivity.
        MPI plays an important role for multi-vendor mechanism, inter-
        operability can be achieved by standardized interface modules.

       The South-Bound Interface (SBI) is the provisioning interface
        for creating forwarding state in the physical network,
        requested via the PNC. The SBI is not in the scope of ACTN,
        however, it is included in this document so that it can be
        compared to models in [RFC8309].

3. Service Models

   [RFC8309] introduces a reference architecture to explain the nature
   and usage of service YANG models in the context of service
   orchestration. Figure 2 below depicts this relationship and is a
   reproduction of Figure 2 from [RFC8309]. Four models depicted in
   Figure 2 are defined as follows:

       Customer Service Model:  A customer service model is used to
        describe a service as offer or delivered to a customer by a
        network operator.
       Service Delivery Model:  A service delivery model is used by a
        network operator to define and configure how a service is
        provided by the network.

       Network Configuration Model: A network configuration model is
        used by a network orchestrator to provide network-level
        configuration model to a controller.
       Device Configuration Model: A device configuration model is
        used by a controller to configure physical network elements.

4. Service Model Mapping to ACTN

   YANG models coupled with the RESTCONF/NETCONF protocol
   [RFC6241][RFC8040] provides solutions for the ACTN framework. This
   section explains which types of YANG models apply to each of the
   ACTN interfaces.

   Refer to Figure 5 of [RFC8453] for details of the mapping between
   ACTN functions and service models. In summary, the following
   mappings are held between and Service Yang Models in [RFC8309] and
   the ACTN interfaces in [RFC8453].

      o Customer Service Model <-> CMI
      o Network Configuration Model <-> MPI
      o Device Configuration Model <-> SBI


4.1. Customer Service Models in the ACTN Architecture (CMI)

   Customer Service Models, which are used between a customer and a
   service orchestrator as in [RFC8309], should be used between the CNC
   and MDSC (e.g., CMI) serving as providing a simple intent-like
   model/interface.

   Among the key functions of Customer Service Models on the CMI is the
   service request. A request will include specific service properties,
   including: service type and its characteristics, bandwidth,
   constraint information, and end-point characteristics.

   The following table provides a list of functions needed to build the
   CMI. They are mapped with Customer Service Models.

   *VN computation request in the CMI context means network path
   computation request based on customer service connectivity request
   constraints prior to the instantiation of a VN creation.

   **[TE-Service-Mapping] provides a mapping and cross-references
   between service models (e.g., L3SM, L2SM, L1CSM) and TE model via
   [ACTN-VN-YANG] and [TE-topology]. This model can be used as either
   Customer Service Models, or Service Delivery model described in
   Section 4.2.

   ***ietf-actn-te-kpi-telemetry model in [ACTN-PM-Telemetry] describes
   performance telemetry for ACTN VN model. This module also allows
   autonomic traffic engineering scaling intent configuration mechanism
   on the VN level. Scale in/out criteria might be used for network
   autonomics in order the controller to react to a certain set of
   variations in monitored parameters. Moreover, this module also
   provides mechanism to define aggregated telemetry parameters as a
   grouping of underlying VN level telemetry parameters.

   ****TE-Topology's Connectivity Matrices/Matrix construct can be used
   to instantiate VN Service via a suitable referencing and mapping
   with [ACTN-VN-YANG].

4.2. Service Delivery Models in ACTN Architecture

   The Service Delivery Models where the service orchestration and the
   network orchestration could be implemented as separate components as
   seen in [RFC8309]. On the other hand, from an ACTN architecture
   point of view, the service delivery model between the service
   orchestrator and the network orchestrator is an internal interface
   between sub-components of the MDSC in a single MDSC model.

   In the MDSC hierarchical model where there are multiple MDSCs, the
   interface between the top MDSC and the bottom MDSC can be mapped to
   service delivery models.

4.3. Network Configuration Models in ACTN Architecture (MPI)

   The Network Configuration Models is used between the network
   orchestrator and the controller in [RFC8309]. In ACTN, this model is
   used primarily between a MDSC and a PNC. The Network Configuration
   Model can be also used for the foundation of more advanced models,
   like hierarchical MDSCs (see Section 4.5)

   The Network Configuration Model captures the parameters which are
   network wide information.

   The following table provides a list of functions needed to build the
   MPI. They are mapped with Network Configuration Yang Models. Note
   that various Yang models are work in progress.

   * This function is a combination of tunnel set up and client signal
   description. Usually a tunnel is setting up first to get prepared to
   carry a client signal, in order to do the service provisioning. Then
   the client signal is adapted to the established tunnel. It is worth
   noting that various tunnel models such as [OTN-Tunnel] and [WSON-
   Tunnel] can be used together with the [TE-tunnel] model to construct
   technology-specific tunnels, and carry different types of client
   signals. More details can be found in [Client-signal].

   [TE-topo-tunnel] provides the clarification and example usage for TE
   topology model [TE-topology] and TE tunnel model [TE-tunnel]. [T-NBI
   Applicability] provides a summary on the applicability of existing
   YANG model usage in the current network configuration, especially
   for transport network.



4.4. Device Models in ACTN Architecture (SBI)

   Note that SBI is not in the scope of ACTN, as there is already
   mature protocol solutions for various purpose on the device level of
   ACTN architecture, such as RSVP-TE, OSPF-TE and so on. The
   interworking of such protocols and ACTN controller hierarchies can
   be found in [gmpls-controller-inter-work].

   For the device YANG models are used for per-device configuration
   purpose, they can be used between the PNC and the physical
   network/devices. One example of Device Models is ietf-te-device yang
   module defined in [TE-tunnel].



5. Examples of Using Different Types of YANG Models

   This section provides some examples on the usage of IETF YANG models
   in the network operation. A few typical generic scenarios are
   involved. In [T-NBI Applicability], there are more transport-related
   scenarios and examples.

5.1. Topology Collection

   Before any connection is requested and delivered, the controller
   needs to understand the network topology. The topology information
   is exchanged among controllers with topology models, such as [TE-
   topology]. Moreover, technology-specific topology reporting may use
   the model described in [OTN-topo] [WSON-topo], and [Flexi-topo] for
   OTN, WSON and Flexi-grid, respectively. By collecting the network
   topology, each controller can therefore construct a local database,
   which can be used for the further service deployment.

   There can be different types of abstraction applied between each
   pair of controllers, corresponding method can be found in [RFC8453].
   The technology-specific features may be hidden after abstraction, to
   make the network easier for the user to operate.

   When there is a topology change in the physical network, the PNC
   should report the change to upper level of controllers via updating
   messages using topology models. Accordingly, such changes is
   propagated between different controllers for further
   synchronization.

5.2. Connectivity over Two Nodes

   The service models, such as described in [RFC8299], [RFC8466] and
   [L1CSM] provide a customer service model which can be used in
   provider networks.

   It would be used as follows in the ACTN architecture:

       A CNC uses the service models to specify the two client nodes
        that are to be connected, and also indicates the amount of
        traffic (i.e., the bandwidth required) and payload type. What


Lee, et al.            Expires August 23, 2019               [Page 10]


Internet-Draft                ACTN YANG                  February 2019


        may be additionally specified is the SLA that describes the
        required quality and resilience of the service.

       The MDSC uses the information in the request to pick the right
        network (domain) and also to select the provider edge nodes
        corresponding to the customer edge nodes.

        If there are multiple domains, then the MDSC needs to
        coordinate across domains to set up network tunnels to deliver
        a service. Thus coordination includes, but is not limited to,
        picking the right domain sequence to deliver a service.

        Additionally, an MDSC can initiate the creation of a tunnel (or
        tunnel segment) in order to fulfill the service request from
        CNC based on path computation upon the overall topology
        information it synthesized from different PNCs. The based model
        that can cater this purpose is the TE tunnel model specified in
        [TE-tunnel]. Technology-specific tunnel configuration may use
        the model described in [OTN-Tunnel] [WSON-Tunnel], and
        [Flexigrid-Tunnel] for OTN, WSON and Flexi-grid, respectively.

       Then, the PNCs need to decide the explicit route of such a
        tunnel or tunnel segment (in case of multiple domains) for each
        domain, and then create such a tunnel using protocols such as
        PCEP and RSVP-TE or using per-hop configuration.

5.3. VN service example

   The service model defined in [ACTN-VN-YANG] describes a virtual
   network (VN) as a service which is a set of multiple connectivity
   services:

       A CNC will request VN to the MDSC by specifying a list of VN
        members. Each VN member specifies either a single connectivity
        service, or a source with multiple potential destination points
        in the case that the precise destination sites are to be
        determined by MDSC.

           o                 In the first case, the procedure is the same as the
             connectivity service, except that in this case, there is a
             list of connections requested.

           o                 In the second case, where the CNC requests the MDSC to
             select the right destination out of a list of candidates,
             the MDSC needs to evaluate each candidate and then choose
             the best one and reply with the chosen destination for a
             given VN member.  After this is selected, the connectivity

Internet-Draft                ACTN YANG                  February 2019


             request setup procedure is the same as in the connectivity
             example in section 5.2.


   After the VN is set up, a successful reply message is sent from MDSC
   to CNC, indicating the VN is ready. This message can also be
   achieved by using the model defined in [ACTN-VN-YANG].

5.4. Data Center-Interconnection Example

   This section describes more concretely how existing YANG models
   described in Section 4 map to an ACTN data center interconnection
   use case. Figure 3 shows a use-case which shows service policy-
   driven Data Center selection and is a reproduction of Figure A.1
   from [RFC8454].

   Figure 3 shows how VN policies from the CNC (Global Data Center
   Operation) are incorporated by the MDSC to support multi-destination
   applications. Multi-destination applications refer to applications
   in which the selection of the destination of a network path for a
   given source needs to be decided dynamically to support such
   applications.

   Data Center selection problems arise for VM mobility, disaster
   recovery and load balancing cases. VN's policy plays an important
   role for virtual network operation. Policy can be static or dynamic.
   Dynamic policy for data center selection may be placed as a result
   of utilization of data center resources supporting VMs. The MDSC
   would then incorporate this information to meet the objective of
   this application.

        5.4.1. CMI (CNC-MDSC Interface)

   [ACTN-VN-YANG] is used to express the definition of a VN, its VN
   creation request, the service objectives (metrics, QoS parameters,
   etc.), dynamic service policy when VM needs to be moved from one
   Data Center to another Data Center, etc. This service model is used
   between the CNC and the MDSC (CMI). The CNC in this use-case is an
   external entity that wants to create a VN and operates on the VN.

        5.4.2. MPI (MDSC-PNC Interface)

   The Network Configuration Model is used between the MDSC and the
   PNCs. Based on the Customer Service Model's request, the MDSC will
   need to translate the service model into the network configuration
   model to instantiate a set of multi-domain connections between the
   prescribed sources and the destinations. The MDSC will also need to
   dynamically interact with the CNC for dynamic policy changes
   initiated by the CNC. Upon the determination of the multi-domain
   connections, the MDSC will need to use the network configuration
   model such as [TE-tunnel] to interact with each PNC involved on the
   path. [TE-topology] is used to for the purpose of underlying domain
   network abstraction from the PNC to the MDSC.

        5.4.3. SBI (Southbound interface between PNC and devices)

   The Device Model can be used between the PNC and its underlying
   devices that are controlled by the PNC. The PNC will need to trigger
   signaling using any mechanisms it employees (e.g. [RSVP-TE-YANG]) to
   provision its domain path segment. There can be a plethora of
   choices how to control/manage its domain network. The PNC is
   responsible to abstract its domain network resources and update it

6. Security

   This document is an informational draft. When the models mentioned
   in this draft are implemented, detailed security consideration will
   be given in such work.

   How security fits into the whole architecture has the following
   components:

   - the use of Restconf security between components

   - the use of authentication and policy to govern which services can
   be requested by different parties.

   - how security may be requested as an element of a service and
   mapped down to protocol security mechanisms as well as separation
   (slicing) of physical resources)
