YANG Modules for Service Assurance

Abstract

This document specifies YANG modules representing assurance graphs. These graphs represent the assurance of a given service by decomposing it into atomic assurance elements called subservices. A companion RFC, Service Assurance for Intent-based Networking Architecture, presents an architecture for implementing the assurance of such services.

The YANG data models in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The "Service Assurance for Intent-based Networking Architecture" [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture], specifies the architecture and all of its components for service assurance. This document complements the architecture by providing open interfaces between components. More specifically, the goal is to provide YANG modules for the purpose of service assurance in a format that is:

1.1. Terminology

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 13 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

The terms used in this document are defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]

2. YANG Models Overview

The main YANG module, ietf-service-assurance, defines objects for assuring network services based on their decomposition into so-called subservices. The subservices are hierarchically organised by dependencies. The subservices, along with the dependencies, constitute an assurance graph. This module should be supported by an agent, able to interact with the devices in order to produce a health status and symptoms for each subservice in the assurance graph. This module is intended for the following use cases:

The main module represents the configuration (subservice and dependencies) and operational data (health status and symptoms) in a single tree. Other modules follows the same pattern. Thus, the modules presented in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].

The second YANG module, ietf-service-assurance-device, extends the ietf-service-assurance module to add support for the device subservice. Additional subservice types might be added the same way.

The third YANG module, ietf-service-assurance-interface, is another example that extends the ietf-service-assurance module. This extension adds support for the interface subservice.

We provide additional examples in the appendix. The module example-service-assurance-device-acme extends the ietf-service-assurance-device module to customize it for devices of the fictional ACME Corporation. Additional vendor-specific parameters might be added the same way. We also provide the modules example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity and example-service-assurance-is-is to completely model the example from the SAIN architecture draft [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture].

              +--rw dependency-type?   identityref

3.2. Concepts

The ietf-service-assurance YANG model assumes an identified number of subservices, to be assured independently. A subservice is a feature or a subpart of the network system that a given service instance might depend on. Example of subservices include:

  • device: whether a device is healthy, and if not, what are the symptoms. Potential symptoms are "CPU overloaded", "Out of RAM", or "Out of TCAM".
  • ip-connectivity: given two IP addresses owned by two devices, what is the quality of the connection between them. Potential symptoms are "No route available" or "ECMP Imbalance".

The first example is a subservice representing a subpart of the network system, while the second is a subservice representing a feature of the network, In both cases, these subservices might depend on other subservices, for instance, the connectivity might depend on a subservice representing the routing mechanism and on a subservice representing ECMP.

The status of each subservice contains a list of symptoms. Each symptom is specified by a unique id and contains a health-score-weight (the impact to the health score incurred by this symptom), a label (text describing what the symptom is), and dates and times at which the symptom was detected and stopped being detected. While the unique id is sufficient as an unique key list, the start-date-time second key help sorting and retrieving relevant symptoms.

The relation between the health score and the health-score-weight of the currently active symptoms is not explicitly defined in this draft. The only requirement is that a non-maximal score must be explained by at least one symptom. A way to enforce that requirement is to first detect symptoms and then compute the health score based on the health-score-weight of the detected symptoms. As an example, this computation could be to sum the health-score-weight of the active symptoms, subtract that value from 100 and change the value to 0 if negative. The relation between health-score and health-score-weight is left to the implementor (of an agent [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]). To consider for implementing this relation: the health-score is mostly for humans, the symptoms are what the closed loop automation can build on.

The assurance of a given service instance can be obtained by composing the assurance of the subservices that it depends on, via the dependency relations.

A subservice declaration MUST provide:

  • A type: identity inheriting of the base identity for subservice,
  • An id: string uniquely identifying the subservice among those with the same identity,
  • One or more parameters, which should be specified in an augmenting model, as described in the next sections.

The type and id uniquely identify a given subservice. They are used to indicate the dependencies. Dependencies have types as well. Two types are specified in the model:

  • Impacting: such a dependency indicates an impact on the health of the dependent,
  • Informational: such a dependency might explain why the dependent has issues but does not impact its health.

To illustrate the difference between "impacting" and "informational", consider the interface subservice, representing a network interface. If the device to which the network interface belongs goes down, the network interface will transition to a down state as well. Therefore, the dependency of the interface subservice towards the device subservice is "impacting". On the other hand, a dependency towards the ecmp-load subservice, which checks that the load between ECMP remains stable throughout time, is only "informational". Indeed, services might be perfectly healthy even if the load distribution between ECMP changed. However, such an instability might be a relevant symptom for diagnosing the root cause of a problem.

Service instances MUST be modeled as a particular type of subservice with two parameters, a type and an instance name. The type is the name of the service defined in the network orchestrator, for instance "point-to-point-l2vpn". The instance name is the name assigned to the particular instance to be assured, for instance the name of the customer using that instance.

The "under-maintenance" and "maintenance-contact" flags inhibit the emission of symptoms for that subservice and subservices that depend on them. See Section 3.7 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture] for a more detailed discussion.

By specifying service instances and their dependencies in terms of subservices, one defines the whole assurance to apply for them. An assurance agent supporting this model should then produce telemetry in return with, for each subservice: a health-status indicating how healthy the subservice is and when the subservice is not healthy, a list of symptoms explaining why the subservice is not healthy.

4.3. Concepts

As the number of subservices will grow over time, the YANG module is designed to be extensible. A new subservice type requires the precise specifications of its type and expected parameters. Let us illustrate the example of the new device subservice type. As the name implies, it monitors and reports the device health, along with some symptoms in case of degradation.

For our device subservice definition, the new identity device-idty is specified, as an inheritance from the base identity for subservices. This indicates to the assurance agent that we are now assuring the health of a device.

The typical parameter for the configuration of the device subservice is the name of the device that we want to assure. By augmenting the parameter choice from ietf-service-assurance YANG module for the case of the device-idty subservice type, this new parameter is specified.

5.3. Concepts

For our interface subservice definition, the new interface-idty is specified, as an inheritance from the base identity for subservices. This indicates to the assurance agent that we are now assuring the health of an interface.

The typical parameters for the configuration of the interface subservice are the name of the device and, on that specific device, a specific interface. By augmenting the parameter choice from ietf-service-assurance YANG module for the case of the interface-idty subservice type, those two new parameters are specified.

6. 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:

A.3. Concepts

Under some circumstances, vendor-specific subservice types might be required. As an example of this vendor-specific implementation, this section shows how to augment the ietf-service-assurance-device module to add custom support for the device subservice, specific to the ACME Corporation. The specific version adds a new parameter, named acme-specific-parameter.

Appendix B. Further Extensions: IP Connectivity and IS-IS subservices

In this section, we provide two additional YANG models to completely cover the example from Figure 2 in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]. The complete normalization of these modules is to be done in future work.

B.1. IP Connectivity Tree View

That subservice represents the unicast connectivity between two IP addresses located on to different devices. Such a subservice could report symptoms such as "No route found". The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity data model.

module: example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:
    +--rw parameters
       +--rw device1     string
       +--rw address1    inet:ip-address
       +--rw device2     string
       +--rw address2    inet:ip-address

To specify the connectivity that we are interested in, we specify two IP addresses and two devices. The subservice assures that the connectivity between IP address 1 on device 1 and IP address 2 on device 2 is healthy.

B.2. IS-IS Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the example-service-assurance-is-is data model.

module: example-service-assurance-is-is

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:
    +--rw parameters
       +--rw instance-name    string

The parameter of this subservice is the name of the IS-IS instance to assure.

B.3. Global Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the ietf-service-assurance, ietf-service-assurance-device, example-service-assurance-device-acme, example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity and example-service-assurance-is-is data models.

Appendix C. Example of YANG instances

This section contains examples of YANG instances that conform to the YANG modules. The validity of these data instances has been checked using yangson. Yangson requires a YANG library [RFC7895] to define the complete model against which the data instance must be validated. We provide in Appendix D the JSON library file, named "ietf-service-assurance-library.json", that we used for validation.

We provide below the contents of the file "example_configuration_instance.json" which contains the configuration data that models the Figure 2 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]. The instance can be validated with yangson by using the invocation "yangson -v example_configuration_instance.json ietf-service-assurance-library.json", assuming all the files (YANG and JSON) defined in this draft reside in the current folder.
