Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Currently, there are many multicast protocol YANG models, such as PIM, MLD, and BIER and so on. But all these models are distributed in different working groups as separate files and focus on the protocol itself. Furthermore, they cannot describe a high-level multicast service required by network operators.

This document provides a general and all-round multicast model, which stands at a high level to take full advantages of these aforementioned models to control the multicast network, and guide the deployment of multicast service.

This document does not define any specific protocol model, instead, it depends on many existing multicast protocol models and relates several multicast information together to fulfill multicast service.

This model can be used along with other multicast YANG models such as PIM [RFC9128], which are not covered in this document.

1.5. Usage of Multicast Model

This multicast YANG data model is mainly used by the management tools run by the network operators, in order to manage, monitor and debug the network resources that are used to deliver multicast service. This model is used for gathering data from the network as well.

Figure 1: Usage of Multicast Model

Figure 1 illustrates example use cases for this multicast model. Network operators can use this model in a controller which is responsible to implement specific multicast flows with specific protocols and work with the corresponding protocols' model to configure the network elements through NETCONF/RESTCONF/CLI. Or network operators can use this model to the EMS (Element Management System)/ NMS (Network Management System) to manage or configure the network elements directly.

On the other hand, when the network elements detect failure or some other changes, the network devices can send the affected multicast flows and the associated overlay/ transport/ underlay information to the controller. Then the controller/ EMS/NMS can respond immediately due to the failure and distribute new model for the flows to the network nodes quickly. Such as the changing of the failure overlay protocol to another one, as well as transport and underlay protocol.

Specifically, in section 3, it provides a human readability of the whole multicast network through UML like class diagram, which frames different multicast components and correlates them in a readable fashion. Then, based on this UML like class diagram, there is instantiated and detailed YANG model in Section 4.

The usage of this model is flexible. The multicast-keys indicate the flow characters. The flow can be L3 multicast flow, or L2 flow which is also called BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast, Multicast) flow in EVPN ([RFC7432]) deployment.

Among the multicast-keys, the group-address of L3 multicast flow and the mac-address of BUM flow are the most important keys. The other keys are optional, and need not be all set. For example, only group-address is set, this is (*,G) analogous. If source-address and group-address are both set, this is (S,G) analogous. In addition to the source-address and group-address, when vpn-rd is also set, this is MVPN use case. If mac-address and vpn-rd are set, this is EVPN use case. In case vni-value is set with associated group-address, etc., this is NVO3 multicast use case.

                   +-----------------------------+    +--------------+
Figure 2: Example

The network administrator can use the multicast model and associated models to deploy the multicast service. For example, suppose that the flow for a multicast service is 233.252.0.0/16, the flow should be forwarded by BIER [RFC8279] with MPLS encapsulation [RFC8296]. Corresponding IGP protocol which is used to build BIER transport layer is OSPF [RFC2328].

In this model, the corresponding group-address that is in multicast-keys is set to 233.252.0.0/16, the transport technology is set to BIER. The BIER underlay protocol is set to OSPF. The model is sent to every edge router from the controller. If the BIER transport layer which depends on OSPF has not been built in the network, the multicast YANG model may invoke the BIER YANG model that is defined in [I-D.ietf-bier-bier-yang] generation in the controller. After the BIER transport layer is built, the ingress router encapsulates the multicast flow with BIER header and sends it into the network. Intermediate routers forward the flows to all the egress nodes by BIER forwarding.

Another example for this figure is, the controller can act as the BIER overlay only. The routers in the domain build BIER forwarding plane beforehand. The controller sends the multicast group-address and/or the source-address to the edge routers in BIER domain only, without transport and underlay set in the model. Then the ingres router can encapsulate the multicast flow with BIER encapsulation automatically.

2. Design of the multicast model

2.1. Scope of Model

This model can be used to configure and manage Multicast service. The operational state data can be retrieved by this model. The subscription and push mechanism defined in [RFC8639] and [RFC8641] can be implemented by the user to subscribe to notifications on the data nodes in this model.

The model contains all the basic configuration parameters to operate the model. Depending on the implementation choices, some systems may not allow some of the advanced parameters to be configurable. The occasionally implemented parameters are modeled as optional features in this model. This model can be extended, and it has been structured in a way that such extensions can be conveniently made.

2.2. Specification

The configuration data nodes cover configurations. The container "multicast-model" is the top level container in this data model. The presence of this container is expected to enable Multicast service functionality. The notification is used to notify the controller that there is error and the error reason.

3. Module Structure

This model imports and augments the ietf-routing YANG model defined in [RFC8349]. Both configuration data nodes and state data nodes of [RFC8349] are augmented.

The YANG data model defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The operational state data is combined with the associated configuration data in the same hierarchy [RFC8407].

3.3. Multicast YANG data model Configuration

This model is used with other protocol data model to provide multicast service.

This model includes multicast service keys and three layers: the multicast overlay, the transport layer and the multicast underlay information. Multicast keys include the features of multicast flow, such as(vpnid, multicast source and multicast group) information. In data center network, for fine-grained to gather the nodes belonging to the same virtual network, there may need VNI-related information to assist.

Multicast overlay defines (ingress-node, egress-nodes) nodes information. If the transport layer is BIER, there may define BIER information including (Subdomain, ingress-node BFR-id, egress-nodes BFR-id). If no (ingress-node, egress-nodes) information are defined directly, there may need overlay multicast signaling technology, such as MLD or MVPN, to collect these nodes information.

Multicast transport layer defines the type of transport technologies that can be used to forward multicast flow, including BIER forwarding type, MPLS forwarding type, or PIM forwarding type and so on. One or several transport technologies could be defined at the same time. As for the detailed parameters for each transport technology, this multicast YANG data model may invoke the corresponding protocol model to define them.

Multicast underlay defines the type of underlay technologies, such as OSPF, ISIS, BGP, PIM or BABEL and so on. One or several underlay technologies could be defined at the same time if there is protective requirement. As for the specific parameters for each underlay technology, this multicast YANG data model can depend the corresponding protocol model to configure them as well.

The configuration modeling branch is composed of the keys, overlay layer, transport layer and underlay layer.

3.4. Multicast YANG data model State

Multicast model states are the same with the configuration.

3.5. Multicast YANG data model Notification

The defined Notifications include the events of ingress or egress nodes. Like ingress node failure, overlay/ transport/ underlay module loading/ unloading. And the potential failure about some multicast flows and associated overlay/ transport/ underlay technologies.

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 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. These are data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Under /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/multicast-model,

multicast-model

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 data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/multicast-model,

Unauthorized access to any data node of the above tree can disclose the operational state information of multicast service on this device.

6. IANA Considerations

RFC Ed.: Please replace all occurrences of 'XXXX' with the actual RFC number (and remove this note).

The IANA is requested to assign one new URI from the IETF XML registry [RFC3688]. Authors are suggesting the following URI:

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-multicast-model

Registrant Contact: The IESG

XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace

This document also requests one new YANG module name in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC6020] with the following suggestion:

name: ietf-multicast-model

namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-multicast-model

prefix: multicast-model

reference: RFC XXXX
