1. Introduction
This document provides a YANG[RFC7950] data model for transport Slice
Service.
The YANG model discussed in this document is defined based on the
description of the transport slice
in[I-D.nsdt-teas-transport-slice-definition] and is used to operate
customer-driven transport Slice during the transport Slice Network
instantiation, and the operations includes service creation,
modification, deletion, and monitoring.
The YANG model discussed in this document suggests an abstract,
technology independent model, which includes three major constructs:
o Transport Slice(TS): that describe a logical network that
interconnects Transport Slice End Points.
o Ts-Endpoint: is a logical point at an external interface of a
Transport slice network, to which a particular subset of traffic
that traverse the external interface, and the traffic is mapped to
a specific transport slice.
Wu, et al. Expires September 9, 2020 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Transport Slice YANG model March 2020
o TS-Member: that describe how each link association between any
slice endpoint, it uses to collect the performance data of this
unidirectional link.
The YANG models can be used with network management protocols such as
NETCONF[RFC6241] or RESTCONF to install, manipulate, and delete the
configuration of network devices.
The transport Slice Network operational state is included in the same
tree as the configuration consistent with Network Management
Datastore Architecture[RFC8342].

3. Design of the Data Model
The model presented in this document has the following transport
network slicing and ACTN framework context.
+----------------------------------------+
| A higher level system |
| (e.g. E2E network slice orchestrator) |
+----------------+-----------------------+
|
| transport slice YANG
|
|
+---------------------+--------------------------+
| Transport Slice Controller |
+------------------------------------------------+
transport slice yang context
In the use case of 5G transport application, E2E network slice
orchestrator provides service request to the transport slice
controller (i.e., CNC). The interface between the higher level
system and transport networks is used to facilitate dynamic transport
slice creation and its lifecycle management with proper feedback loop
for monitoring.

Internet-Draft Transport Slice YANG model March 2020
As shown in Figure 1, a Transport Slice(TS) links together End Points
at external Interfaces to the sites, which are customer endpoints
that request a transport slicing service.
For a particular TS service, a SLO profile needs to be specified.
Either a standard profile or a custom profile could be chosen. The
"slo-profile" container defines the transport slice SLO policy to be
used.
The type of TS topology is required for configuration. The model
supports any-to-any, Hub and Spoke (where Hubs can exchange traffic),
and the different combinations, which are supported through the
order-list of topology. New topologies could be added via
augmentation. By default, the any-to-any VPN service topology is
used.
In addition, "ep-role" also needs to be defined, which specifies the
role of the end point in a particular TS topology. In the any-to-any
VPN service topology, all end points MUST have the same role, which
will be "any-to-any-role". In the Hub-and-Spoke topology, end points
MUST have a Hub role or a Spoke role.
At each external site, one or multiple TS End points could be connect
to the Transport Slice. In the example above, when a site is
connected to two transport network edge devices in one Transport
Slice, two End Points are created.
A site could connect with transport network edge device with the
following ways:
o a distinct physical connection
o a logical Layer 2 connection
o An IP tunnel(e.g. using GRE Tunnel)
These connection could be shared with different Transport Slices or
be separated for each Transport Slice.
A TS End Point is a logical entity at an external Interface to a
customer site. A number of slice specific configuration must be
agreed with a customer site and the transport slice, and one TS End
Point's attributes may not be same with anotherTS End Point's. The
attributes may include some technology specific parameters, such as
connections, encapsulation, and routing protocols, etc. This model
can be augmented by referring to the parameters of L3SM [RFC8299] or
L2SM [RFC8466] .
Wu, et al. Expires September 9, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Transport Slice YANG model March 2020
At the external Interface, the particular subset of the transport is
identified either by a separate interface or by the combination of
interface and fields in the packet. The container 'ts-traffic-match'
is defined under "endpoint" list to specify the mapping of slice
traffic in case of mapping slice traffic by packet fields through
interface shared between multiple transport slices.
A TS Member is an abstract entity which represents transport
resources mapped to this particular Transport Slice. A TS Member may
encompass customer site links, edge points of the PE, intra-domain
paths, and inter-domain logical links.

4. Transport Slice SLO Policy
Transport slice slo is specified with two parts. One part is per-
slice SLO defined in container 'slo-profile', the other part is
described in container 'incoming-bandwidth' and container 'outgoing-
bandwidth' under 'end-point'.
The Transport Slice common attributes are as follows:
o Isolation: indicates that a transport slice can be enforced as
physical resource isolation or logical resource allocations. For
Wu, et al. Expires September 9, 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Transport Slice YANG model March 2020
physical resource isolation, it implies that the forwarding,
policy and address spaces are local with in a transport slice and
instantiation of one slice does not conflict with another slice.
For logical isolation, only policy and address spaces are isolated
from another slice.
o latency: indicates the latency constraint of the slice.
o Jitter: indicates the jitter constraint of the slice.
o Packet loss: indicates reliability constraint.
o Availability: Availability is a probabilistic measure of the
length of time that a slice instance functions without a network
failure. The availability level will need to be translated into
network specific policies such as the protection policy associated
with the slice.
o MTU: Specifies the maximum packet length that the slice gurantee
to be able to carry across.
The Bandwidth constraint is applied at each End Point of a Transport
Slice. The bandwidth container is used to define a guaranteed amount
of bandwidth and also a maximum bandwidth for the transport slice.
5. Transport Slice Monitoring
This model also describes performance status of a transport slice.
The statistics are described in individual TS link, 'ts-member-
monitoring', and an End Point, 'ep-monitoring'.
This model does not define monitoring enabling nodes. The mechanism
defined in [RFC8640] and [RFC8641] can be used for either periodic or
on-demand subscription.
By specifying subtree filters or xpath filters to 'ts-member' or
'endpoint' ,so that only interested contents will be sent. These two
mechanism can be used for monitoring the transport slice performance
status so that the client management system could initiate
modification based on the transport running status.

7. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed
via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or
RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport
layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure
Wu, et al. Expires September 9, 2020 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft Transport Slice YANG model March 2020
Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the
mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to
restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
writable/creatable/deletable (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.
o /ietf-transport-slice/transport-slices/transport-slice
The entries in the list above include the whole transport network
configurations corresponding with the slice which the higher
management system requests, and indirectly create or modify the PE or
P device configurations. Unexpected changes to these entries could
lead to service disruption and/or network misbehavior.
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-transport-slice
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document requests to register a YANG module in the YANG Module
Names registry [RFC7950].
Name: ietf-transport-slice
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-transport-slice
Prefix: ts
Reference: RFC XXXX

Appendix A. Appendix A Comparison with Other Possible Transport Slice
Models
1.Transport Slice model based on IETF ACTN VN model
The ACTN VN(Virtual Network) model introduced
in[I-D.ietf-teas-actn-vn-yang]
is the abstract customer view of the TE network. Its YANG structure
includes four components: .
o VN: The VN can be seen as a set of edge-to-edge abstract links (a
Type 1 VN).
o AP"links" list and "termination points" list describe how nodes in
a network are connected to each other
o VN-AP:vertical layering relationships between transport slice
networks and underlay networks
o VN member: Each abstract link is referred to as a VN member and is
formed as an E2E tunnel across the underlying networks
The main concern with this model is TE specific, which does not
comply with the technology agnostic characteristic specified in
[I-D.nsdt-teas-transport-slice-definition].
2.Transport Slice model based on IETF Network Topologies YANG data
model extension
IETF Network Topologies YANG data model extension introduced in
Transport Network Slice YANG Data Model
[I-D.liu-teas-transport-network-slice-yang]has the similar goal, but
with different modelling design. Its YANG structure includes three
parts:
o Transport network: a transport network list and an list of nodes
contained in the transport network
o Link: "links" list and "termination points" list describe how
nodes in a network are connected to each other
Wu, et al. Expires September 9, 2020 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft Transport Slice YANG model March 2020
o Support network: vertical layering relationships between transport
slice networks and underlay networks
Based on this structure, the transport slice-specific SLO attributes
nodes are augmented on the Network Topologies model,, e.g. isolation
etc. However, this modeling design requires the transport network to
expose a lot of details of the network, such as the actual topology
including nodes interconnection and different network layers
interconnection.
Appendix B. Appendix B Transporst Slice Traffic Criteria
In some scenarios, some sites supports the customer service traffic
of multiple slices. The transport network connected to the sites
needs to identify the traffic of' different slices to provide
different SLO guarantees. But the transport network does not have
prior knowledge of these information. Therefore, the transport slice
model needs to carry these slice traffic classification information.
'ts-traffic-criteria' container is used to specify the TS traffic-
related parameters, including IP addresses, VLAN information, and
etc.

As shown in the figure, gNodeB 1 and gNodeB 2 use IP gNB1 and IP gNB2
to communicate with the transport network, respectively. In
addition, the traffic of TS1 and TS2 on gNodeB 1 and gNodeB 2 is
transmitted through the same links to the transport network.
Therefore, edge devices of the transport network cannot use IP
addresses to distinguish a specific slice traffic. Other information
is therefore needed to identity it.
