RFC 9375 | A YANG Data Model for Network and VPN Se | April 2023 |
Wu, et al. | Standards Track | [Page] |
The data model for network topologies defined in RFC 8345 introduces vertical layering relationships between networks that can be augmented to cover network and service topologies. This document defines a YANG module for performance monitoring (PM) of both underlay networks and overlay VPN services that can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology of both layers.¶

[RFC8969] describes a framework for automating service and network management with YANG [RFC7950] data models. It states that the performance measurement telemetry model should be tied to the services (such as a Layer 3 VPN or Layer 2 VPN) or to the network models to monitor the overall network performance and the Service Level Agreements (SLAs).¶
The performance of VPN services is associated with the performance changes of the underlay networks that carry VPN services. For example, link delay between Provider Edge (PE) and Provider (P) devices and packet loss status on Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces connecting PEs and Customer Edge (CE) devices directly impact VPN service performance. Additionally, the integration of Layer 2 / Layer 3 VPN performance and network performance data enables the orchestrator to monitor consistently. Therefore, this document defines a YANG module for both network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM). The module can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology level or the service topology between VPN sites.¶
The base model specified in Section 5 can be extended to include technology-specific details, e.g., adding Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) statistics for Layer 3 networks or VPN services to support performance-sensitive applications.¶
This document does not introduce new metrics for network performance or mechanisms for measuring network performance, but it uses the existing mechanisms and statistics to monitor the performance of the network and the services.¶
The YANG module defined in this document is designed as an augmentation to the network topology YANG data model defined in [RFC8345] and draws on relevant YANG types defined in [RFC6991], [RFC8345], [RFC8532], and [RFC9181].¶
Appendix A provides a set of examples to illustrate the use of the module.¶
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this specification:¶
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950].¶
The tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340].¶
The following acronyms are used in the document:¶
Models are key for automating network management operations (Section 3 of [RFC8969]). Particularly, together with service and network models, performance measurement telemetry models are needed to monitor network performance to meet specific service requirements (typically captured in an SLA).¶
The network and VPN service PM model can be used to expose operational performance information to the layer above, e.g., to an orchestrator or other Business Support System (BSS) / Operational Support System (OSS) client application, via standard network management APIs. Figure 1 shows an example usage in a layered model architecture as described in [RFC8309].¶
Before using the model, the controller needs to establish topology visibility of the network and VPN. For example, the controller can use network information from [RFC8345] and [YANG-SAP] or VPN information from the L3VPN Network Model (L3NM) [RFC9182] and the L2VPN Network Model (L2NM) [RFC9291]. Then the controller derives network or VPN performance data by aggregating (and filtering) lower-level data collected via monitoring counters of the devices involved.¶
The network or VPN performance data can be based on different sources. For example, the performance monitoring data per link in the underlying networks can be collected using a network performance measurement method such as the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) [RFC4656], Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) [RFC5357], Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) [RFC8762], Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Loss and Delay Measurement [RFC6374], or In situ OAM (IOAM) [RFC9197]. The performance monitoring information reflecting the quality of the network or VPN service (e.g., network performance data between source node and destination node in the networks or between VPN sites) can be computed and aggregated, for example, using the information from the Traffic Engineering Database (TED) [RFC7471] [RFC8570] [RFC8571] or Large-Scale Measurement Platform (LMAP) [RFC8194].¶
The measurement and report intervals that are associated with these performance data usually depend on the configuration of the specific measurement method or collection method or various combinations. This document defines network-wide measurement intervals to align measurement requirements for networks or VPN services.¶
Some applications, such as service-assurance applications, which must maintain a continuous view of operational data and state, can use the subscription model specified in [RFC8641] to subscribe to the specific network performance data or VPN service performance data they are interested in, at the data source. For example, network or VPN topology updates may be obtained through on-change notifications [RFC8641]. For dynamic PM data (e.g., VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) routes or Media Access Control (MAC) entries, link metrics, and interface metrics), various notifications can be specified to obtain more complete data. A periodic notification [RFC8641] can be specified to obtain real-time performance data. For devices/controllers that maintain historical performance data for a period of time, a replay notification (see [RFC5277] or [RFC8639]) can be used to obtain the historical data. And alarm notifications [RFC8632] can be specified to get alarms for the metrics that exceed or fall below the performance threshold.¶
The data source can then use the network and VPN service performance monitoring model defined in this document and the YANG-Push data model [RFC8641] to distribute specific telemetry data to target recipients.¶
To obtain a snapshot of performance data from a network topology or a VPN service topology, service-assurance applications may retrieve information using the network and VPN service PM model through a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241] or a RESTCONF [RFC8040] interface. For example, a specified "link-id" of a VPN can be used as a filter in a RESTCONF GET request to retrieve per-link VPN PM data.¶
This document defines the "ietf-network-vpn-pm" YANG module, which is an augmentation to the "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" YANG modules.¶
[RFC8345] defines a YANG data model for network/service topologies and inventories. The service topology described in [RFC8345] includes the abstract topology for a service layer above Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3) underlay topologies. This service topology has the generic topology elements of node, link, and termination point. One typical example of a service topology is described in Figure 3 of [RFC8345]: two VPN service topologies instantiated over a common L3 topology. Each VPN service topology is mapped onto a subset of nodes from the L3 topology.¶
Figure 2 illustrates an example of a topology hierarchy that maps between the VPN service topology and an underlying Layer 3 network topology.¶
As shown in Figure 2, two VPN services topologies are built on top of one underlying Layer 3 network:¶
Based on the association between VPN service topologies and underlying network topologies, the Network and VPN Service PM YANG module extends the performance status of the underlay networks and VPN services. For example, the module can provide link PM statistics and port statistics of an underlay network, e.g., Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, and OSPF networks. It can also provide VPN PM statistics, which can be further split into PM for the VPN tunnel and PM at the VPN PE access node, as illustrated in the following diagram.¶
Figure 3 illustrates an example of VPN PM and two VPN PM measurement methods including the VPN tunnel PM and the inter-VPN-access interface PM. VPN PM can also provide statistics on VPN access interfaces, the number of current VRF routes, or L2VPN MAC entry of a VPN node.¶
The module described below can be used for performance monitoring for both the underlay networks and the VPN services, which would be separate entries in the network list [RFC8345]. The differences are as follows:¶
The YANG tree in Figure 4 is a part of the "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree. It defines the following set of network-level attributes:¶
The YANG tree in Figure 5 is the node part of the "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree.¶
For network performance monitoring, the module defines the following attributes:¶
For VPN service topology, the module defines one attribute:¶
The YANG tree in Figure 6 is the link and termination point (TP) part of the "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree.¶
The "links" are classified into two types: topology link (defined in [RFC8345]) and abstract link of a VPN between PEs (defined in this module).¶
The performance data of a link is a collection of counters and gauges that report the performance status. All these metrics are defined as unidirectional metrics.¶
For the data nodes of "link" depicted in Figure 6, the YANG module defines the following minimal set of link-level performance attributes:¶
For the data nodes of "termination-point" depicted in Figure 6, the module defines the following minimal set of statistics:¶
The "ietf-network-vpn-pm" YANG module uses types defined in [RFC6991], [RFC8345], [RFC8532], and [RFC9181].¶

The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data that 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 Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].¶
The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [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. These write operations can lead to inaccurate or incomplete network measurements that can impact the visibility and decisions this data would be used to inform. Unauthorized write access to the following subtrees could have the following impacts:¶
Access | Node | Potential Impact |
---|---|---|
/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types | ||
write | service type | disable VPN PM |
write | VPN identifier | disable VPN PM |
write | VPN service topology | render data unusable |
/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node | ||
write | node type | render data unusable |
write | VPN topology role | render data unusable |
/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:link/nvp:perf-mon | ||
write | percentile | impact reporting cadence |
write | measurement interval | impact monitoring fidelity |
write | vpn-pm-type | impact monitoring fidelity |
Some of the readable data 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. When using, the trade-off between confidentiality and proper monitoring of performance needs to be considered. Unauthorized access to the following subtrees could have the following impacts:¶
This YANG module does not define any Remote Procedure Call (RPC) operations and actions.¶
IANA has registered the following URI in the "ns" subregistry within the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:¶
IANA has registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry.¶
The example shown in Figure 7 illustrates how a client subscribes to the performance monitoring information between nodes ("node-id") A and B in the L3 network topology. The performance monitoring parameter that the client is interested in is end-to-end loss.¶
The example depicted in Figure 8 illustrates a VPN PM instance message body of a RESTCONF request to fetch the performance data of the link and TP that belongs to "VPN1".¶
This is an example of percentile measurement data that could be returned for link "example:A-B" between "example:A" and "example:B".¶
