Abstract

   Structured IDentifiers (SID) are used to identify different YANG
   items when encoded in CBOR.  This document defines the registration
   and assignment processes of SIDs.  To enable the implementation of
   these processes, this document also defines a file format used to
   persist and publish assigned SIDs.

1.  Introduction

   This document describes the registries required to manage SIDs and a
   file format used to persist and publish the assigned SIDs.

2.  Terminology and Notation

   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].

   The following terms are defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis]:

   o  action

   o  feature

   o  module

   o  notification

   o  RPC

Internet-Draft         Structure Identifier (SID)              July 2016


   o  schema node

   o  schema tree

   o  submodule

   This specification also makes use of the following terminology:

   o  identifier: An identifier embodies the information required to
      distinguish what is being identified from all other things within
      its scope of identification.

   o  delta : Difference between the current SID and a reference SID.  A
      reference SID is defined for each context for which deltas are
      used.

   o  item: A schema node, an identity, a module, a submodule or a
      feature defined using the YANG modeling language.

   o  path: A path is a string that identifies a schema node within the
      schema tree.  A path consists of the list of schema node
      identifier(s) separated by slashes ("/").  Schema node
      identifier(s) are always listed from the top-level schema node up
      to the targeted schema node. (e.g. "/system-state/clock/current-
      datetime")

3.  Structured IDentifiers (SID)

   Some of the items defined in YANG [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis]
   require the use of a unique identifier.  In both NETCONF and
   RESTCONF, these identifiers are implemented using names.  To allow
   the implementation of data models defined in YANG in constrained
   devices and constrained networks, a more compact method to identify
   YANG items is required.

   This compact identifier, called SID, is encoded using an unsigned
   integer.  To minimize its size, SIDs are often implemented using a
   delta from a reference SID and the current SID.  To guaranty the
   uniqueness of each assigned SID, SID ranges MUST be registered.
   Section 7.1 provide more details about the registration process of
   SID range(s).

   To avoid duplicate assignment of SIDs, the registration of the SIDs
   assigned to YANG module(s) is recommended.  Section 7.2 provide more
   details about the registration process of YANG modules.

   The following items are identified using SIDs:

Internet-Draft         Structure Identifier (SID)              July 2016


   o  identities

   o  data nodes

   o  RPCs and associated input(s) and output(s)

   o  actions and associated input(s) and output(s)

   o  notifications and associated information

   o  YANG modules, submodules and features

   Assignment of SIDs can be automated, the recommended process to
   assign SIDs is as follows:

   o  A tool extracts the different items defined for a specific YANG
      module.

   o  The list of items is ordered by type and label.

   o  SIDs are assigned sequentially for the entry point up to the size
      of the registered SID range.  It is important to note that
      sequentially assigning SIDs optimizes the CBOR serialization due
      to the use of delta encoding.

   o  If the number of items exceeds the SID range(s) allocated to a
      YANG module, an extra range is added for subsequent assignments.

   SIDs are assigned permanently, items introduced by a new revision of
   a YANG module are added to the list of SIDs already assigned.  This
   process can also be automated using the same method described above
   except that the assignment need to be restarted from the highest SID
   already assigned.

   Section 5 defines a standard file format used to store and publish
   SIDs.

4.  ".sid" file lifecycle

   The following activity diagram summarize the life cycle of ".sid"
   files.

   YANG modules are not necessary created in the context of constrained
   applications.  YANG modules can be implemented using NETCONF or
   RESTCONF without the need to assign SIDs.

   As needed, authors of YANG modules can assign SIDs to their modules.
   This process starts by the registration of a SID range.  Once a SID
   range is registered, the owner of this range assigns sub-ranges to
   each YANG module in order to generate the associated ".sid" files.
   Generation of ".sid" files SHOULD be performed using an automated
   tool.

   Registration of the .sid file associated to a YANG module is optional
   but recommended to promote interoperability between devices and to
   avoid duplicate allocation of SIDs to a single YANG module.

   Each time a YANG module or one of its imported module(s) or included
   sub-module(s) is updated, the ".sid" file MAY need to be updated.
   This update SHOULD also be performed using an automated tool.

   If a new revision requires more SIDs than initially allocated, a new
   SID range MUST be added to the assignment ranges as defined in the
   ".sid" file header.  These extra SIDs are used for subsequent
   assignments.

5.  ".sid" file format

   ".sid" files are used to persist and publish SIDs assigned to the
   different YANG items of a specific YANG module.  The following YANG
   module defined the structure of this file, encoding is performed
   using the rules defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-json].

6.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations of [RFC7049] and
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis] apply.

   This document defines an new type of identifier used to encode data
   models defined in YANG [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis].  As such, this
   identifier does not contribute to any new security issues in addition
   of those identified for the specific protocols or contexts for which
   it is used.

7.  IANA Considerations

7.1.  "SID" range registry

   IANA is requested to create a registry for Structure Identifier (SID)
   ranges.  This registry needs to guarantee that the ranges registered
   do not overlap.  The registry SHALL record for each entry:

   o  The entry point (first entry) of the registered SID range.

   o  The size of the registered SID range.

Internet-Draft         Structure Identifier (SID)              July 2016


   o  The contact information of the owner of the range such as name,
      email address, and phone number.

   The IANA policy for this registry is split into four tiers as
   follows:

   o  The range of 0 to 999 and 0x40000000 to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF are
      reserved for future extensions of this protocol.  Allocation
      within these ranges require IETF review or IESG approval.

   o  The range of 1000 to 59999 is reserved for standardized YANG
      modules.  Allocation within this range requires publishing of the
      associated ".yang" and ".sid" files.  (Specification required.)

   o  The range of 60000 to 99999 is reserved for experimental YANG
      modules.  Use of this range MUST NOT be used in operational
      deployments since these SIDs are not globally unique which limit
      their interoperability.

   o  The range of 100000 to 0x3FFFFFFF is available on a first come
      first served basis.  The only information required from the
      registrant is a valid contact information.  The recommended size
      of the SID ranges allocated is 1,000 for private use and 10,000
      for standard development organizations (SDOs).  Registrants MAY
      request fewer or more SIDs based on their expected, sat needs.
      Allocation of a significantly larger SID range MAY required IETF
      review or IESG approval.  IANA MAY delegate this registration
      process to one or multiple sub-registries.  The recommended size
      of the SID range allocation for a sub-registry is 1,000,000.

7.2.  YANG module registry

   Each registered SID range can be used to assign SIDs to one or more
   YANG modules.  To track which YANG modules have been assigned and to
   avoid duplicate allocation, IANA is requested to provide a method to
   register and query the following information:

   o  The YANG module name

   o  The contact information of the author

   o  The specification reference

   o  The associated ".yang" file(s) (Optional)

   o  The associated ".sid" file (Optional)

   Registration of YANG modules is optional.  When a YANG module is
   registered, the registrant MUST provide the module name and contact
   information and/or a specification reference.

   The registration of the associated ".yang" and ".sid" files is
   optional.  When provided, the validity of the files MUST be verified.
   This can be accomplished by a YANG validation tool specially modified
   to support ".sid" file verification.  The SID range specified within
   the ".sid" file SHOULD also be checked against the "SID" range
   registry (Section 7.1) and against the other YANG modules registered
   to detect any duplicate use of SIDs.

   Initial entries in this registry are as follows:

   +-------------+------+-----------------+---------------------------+
   | Entry Point | Size | Module name     | Reference                 |
   +-------------+------+-----------------+---------------------------+
   | 1000        | 100  | ietf-cool       | [I-D.veillette-core-cool] |
   | 1100        | 400  | iana-if-type    | [RFC7224]                 |
   | 1500        | 100  | ietf-interfaces | [RFC7223]                 |
   | 1600        | 100  | ietf-ip         | [RFC7277]                 |
