| Wu, et al. | Expires 25 January 2024 | [Page] |
This document defines a YANG model for network inventory management, which provides consistent representation and reporting of network nodes (including endpoints) inventory and enable a network orchestrator in the network to maintain a centralized view of all the network nodes and endpoint types across multiple domains of the underlying network to implement a coherent control strategy.¶

A network inventory is a list of equipments connected to a network to track and manage network resources.¶
[RFC8345] defines a network topology model that can be used for network inventory extensions. The SAP network model [I-D.ietf-opsawg-sap] provides inventory data associated with Service Attachment Points (SAPs), which maintains an inventory of nodes contained in a network relying upon [RFC8345] extension to support the network inventory.¶
To fill this gap, this document extends the RFC 8345 network model for inventory management, which facilitates the association with other network and topology models, such as SAP, L2 topology, and L3 topology, supporting automatic service provisioning and network maintenance.¶
This document also defines the common types of network inventory, which can be reused in multiple network management applications as network inventory is the basis of multiple network management, such as asset tracking.¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
This document defines the following term:¶
The YANG model of network inventory is used to provide abstract interfaces to obtain network inventory under each network management systems or network controllers of different network domains.¶
Inventory management in a Service Provider environment is challenging. Devices, components are constantly being added or removed from the network, which can make it difficult to maintain an accurate inventory. Real-time inventory helps service providers to optimize their network utilization and reduce operational costs. The inventory topology model can be used as a base to retrieve other information, such as hardware components and layer 2 and Layer 3 logical inventory information. The figure belows gives an example of the usage.¶

Network Domain 1 Network Domain 2
Enterprise networks are becoming heterogenous and supporting a variety of device types, such as BYOD vs. enterprise-supplied devices, Internet of things (IoT) devices, IP phones, printers, IP cameras), OT (Operation Technology) devices (e.g., sensors), etc. Also, these networks are designed to support both localized applications and cloud-based applications (e.g., public cloud computing, storage, etc.), or hybrid applications. Also, means to access network resources are not anymore from within specific sites, but access can be granted from anywhere. Dedicated gateways and authorization procedures are being generalized.¶
This trend is observed for the medical, power, manufacturing, or other infrastructure industries. These networks host a large number of multi-vendor IoT or OT devices, with frequent additions and changes. These complex environments often expose unknown safety and reliability blind spots.¶
The endpoints connected to an Enterprise network lack unified modelling and lifecycle management, and different services are modelled, collected, processed, and stored separately. The same category of network device and network endpoints may be (repeatedly) discovered, processed, and stored. Therefore, the inventory is difficult to manage when they are tracked in different places. Maintaining a centralized and up-to-date inventory is a technical enabler in order to implement a coherent control strategy for all endpoint types connected to an Enterprise network.¶
Figure 2 shows an example of an enterprise network consisting of two network domains: one campus network domain and one cloud network domain. The inventory data in the network can include network infrastructure devices (such as routers, switchs, security devices) and network endpoints (such as IoT/OT devices, servers, laptop, mobile devices). The management systems or network controllers in different domains can automatically collect or discover the inventory by multiple approaches.¶

With the inventory data collected from the underlying network, the network orchestration system can centrally manage security and network policies related to network endpoints.¶
[I-D.irtf-nmrg-network-digital-twin-arch] defines "digital twin network" as a virtual representation of the physical network. Such virtual representation of the network is meant to be used to analyze, diagnose, emulate, and then manage the physical network based on data, models, and interfaces. A digital twin network architecture is proposed as follows.¶

+---------------------------------------------------------+¶
The service orchestration system can use digital twin platform to build visual relationship maps for networks and endpoints with relationship types and dependencies, and identify potential impacts on configuration management information from incidents, problems, and changes.¶
The inventory model can, for example, be used to emulate several what-if scenario such as the impact of EOL or depletion of a hardware component on the network resilience and service availability.¶

<CODE ENDS>¶
The YANG module specified in this document defines a data schema designed to be accessed through network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the required secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the required secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].¶
The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides a means of restricting access to specific NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and contents. Thus, NACM SHOULD be used to restrict the NSF registration from unauthorized users.¶
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable, creatable, and deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations to these data nodes could have a negative effect on network and security operations.¶
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:¶
