Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] for the management of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Proxy devices [RFC4605]. The YANG module in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture as defined in [RFC8342].

1.1. Terminology

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC6020] and [RFC7950], including:

  • augment
  • data model
  • data node
  • identity
  • module

The following abbreviations are used in this document and in the defined YANG data model:

IGMP:
Internet Group Management Protocol [RFC3376].
MLD:
Multicast Listener Discovery [RFC3810].
PIM:
Protocol Independent Multicast [RFC7761].

1.2. Tree Diagrams

Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340].

1.3. Prefixes in Data Node Names

In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects are often used without a prefix, as long as the context clearly indicates the YANG module in which each name is defined. Otherwise, names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: Prefixes and Corresponding YANG Modules
Prefix YANG Module Reference
inet ietf-inet-types [RFC6991]
if ietf-interfaces [RFC8343]
rt ietf-routing [RFC8349]
rt-types ietf-routing-types [RFC8294]
pim-base ietf-pim-base [RFC9128]

2. Design of Data Model

The model covers forwarding based on IGMP and MLD proxying [RFC4605]. One goal of this document is to define a data model that provides a common user interface for IGMP/MLD Proxy devices.

2.1. Overview

The model defined in this document has all the common building blocks for IGMP/MLD Proxy devices and can be used to configure those devices. The operational state data and statistics can also be retrieved via this model.

2.2. Optional Features

This model is designed to represent the basic capability subsets of IGMP/MLD Proxies. The main design goals of this document are that (1) the basic capabilities described in the model will be supported by any major implementations that exist at the time of this writing and (2) the configuration of all implementations meeting the specifications will be easy to express through some combination of the optional features in the model and simple vendor augmentations.

This model declares two features representing capabilities that not all deployed devices support. One feature is called "igmp-proxy", and the other feature is called "mld-proxy". Either or both features could be implemented; this would provide more choices for vendors.

2.3. Position of Address Family in Hierarchy

IGMP Proxies only support IPv4, while MLD Proxies only support IPv6. The data model defined in this document can be used for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.

This document defines IGMP Proxies and MLD Proxies in separate schema branches in the structure. The benefits of this technique are as follows:

  • The model can support IGMP Proxies (IPv4), MLD Proxies (IPv6), or both, optionally and independently. Such flexibility cannot be achieved cleanly with a combined branch.
  • The structure is consistent with other YANG data models such as the model defined in [RFC8652], which uses separate branches for IPv4 and IPv6.
  • Having separate branches for IGMP Proxies and MLD Proxies allows minor differences in their behavior to be modeled more simply and cleanly. The two branches can better support different features and node types.

3. Module Structure

This model augments the core routing data model specified in [RFC8349].

   +--rw routing
      +--rw router-id?
      +--rw control-plane-protocols
      |  +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name]
      |     +--rw type
      |     +--rw name
      |     +--rw igmp-proxy <= Augmented by this model
                     ...
      |     +--rw mld-proxy  <= Augmented by this model

The "igmp-proxy" container instantiates an IGMP Proxy. The "mld-proxy" container instantiates an MLD Proxy.

3.1. IGMP Proxy Configuration and Operational State

The YANG module augments /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/rt:control-plane-protocol to add the igmp-proxy container.

All attributes related to IGMP Proxies are defined in the igmp-proxy container. The read-write attributes represent configurable data. The read-only attributes represent state data.

The igmp-version parameter represents the IGMP protocol version; the default value is 2. If the value of the "enabled" parameter is "true", it means that the IGMP Proxy is enabled.

The interface list under igmp-proxy contains upstream interfaces for an IGMP Proxy. A constraint is provided to make sure that the upstream interface for the IGMP Proxy is not configured to use PIM.

To configure a downstream interface for an IGMP Proxy, the ability to enable IGMP on that interface is needed. This is defined in "A YANG Data Model for the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)" [RFC8652].

augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
          /rt:control-plane-protocol:
  +--rw igmp-proxy! {igmp-proxy}?
     +--rw interfaces
        +--rw interface* [name]
           +--rw name                     if:interface-ref
           +--rw igmp-version?            uint8
           +--rw enabled?                 boolean
           +--rw sender-source-address?   inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
           +--ro group* [group-address]
              +--ro group-address
              |       rt-types:ipv4-multicast-group-address
              +--ro up-time?         uint32
              +--ro filter-mode      enumeration
              +--ro source* [source-address]
                 +--ro source-address
                 |       inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
                 +--ro up-time?                uint32
                 +--ro downstream-interface* [name]
                    +--ro name    if:interface-ref

3.2. MLD Proxy Configuration and Operational State

The YANG module augments /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/rt:control-plane-protocol to add the mld-proxy container.

All attributes related to MLD Proxies are defined in the mld-proxy container. The read-write attributes represent configurable data. The read-only attributes represent state data.

The mld-version parameter represents the MLD protocol version; the default value is 2. If the value of the "enabled" parameter is "true", it means that the MLD Proxy is enabled.

The interface list under mld-proxy contains upstream interfaces for an MLD Proxy. A constraint is provided to make sure that the upstream interface for the MLD Proxy is not configured to use PIM.

To configure a downstream interface for an MLD Proxy, enable MLD on that interface. This is defined in "A YANG Data Model for the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)" [RFC8652].

augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
          /rt:control-plane-protocol:
  +--rw mld-proxy! {mld-proxy}?
     +--rw interfaces
        +--rw interface* [name]
           +--rw name                     if:interface-ref
           +--rw mld-version?             uint8
           +--rw enabled?                 boolean
           +--rw sender-source-address?   inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
           +--ro group* [group-address]
              +--ro group-address
              |       rt-types:ipv6-multicast-group-address
              +--ro up-time?         uint32
              +--ro filter-mode      enumeration
              +--ro source* [source-address]
                 +--ro source-address
                 |       inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
                 +--ro up-time?                uint32
                 +--ro downstream-interface* [name]
                    +--ro name    if:interface-ref

5. Security Considerations

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 are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Under /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/rt:control-plane-protocol:/ igmp-mld-proxy:igmp-proxy:

igmp-mld-proxy:interfaces
This subtree specifies the interface list for an IGMP Proxy. Modifying the configuration may cause the IGMP Proxy interface to be deleted or changed.
igmp-mld-proxy:interfaces/interface
This subtree specifies the configuration for the IGMP Proxy attributes at the interface level. Modifying the configuration may cause the IGMP Proxy to be deleted or changed on a specific interface.

Under /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/rt:control-plane-protocol:/ igmp-mld-proxy:mld-proxy:

igmp-mld-proxy:interfaces
This subtree specifies the interface list for an MLD Proxy. Modifying the configuration may cause the MLD Proxy interface to be deleted or changed.
igmp-mld-proxy:interfaces/interface
This subtree specifies the configuration for the MLD Proxy attributes at the interface level. Modifying the configuration may cause the MLD Proxy to be deleted or changed on a specific interface.

Unauthorized access to any data nodes in these subtrees can adversely affect the IGMP/MLD Proxy subsystem of both the local device and the network. This may lead to network malfunctions, delivery of packets to inappropriate destinations, and other problems.

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. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Under
/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/rt:control-plane-protocol:/

igmp-mld-proxy:igmp-proxy
igmp-mld-proxy:mld-proxy

Unauthorized access to any data nodes in these subtrees can disclose operational state information about the IGMP/MLD Proxy on this device. Group information or source information may expose multicast group memberships.

Appendix A. Data Tree Example

This section contains an example for the IGMP Proxy, shown in JSON encoding [RFC7951] and containing both configuration and state data. In the example, the IGMP Proxy is enabled on interface eth1/1.

The ability to enable IGMP on eth1/2 and eth1/3 is also needed. The configuration details are omitted here because this document is focused on IGMP/MLD Proxies.
