Introduction This document defines a YANG data model that extends the RIB data model defined in the ietf-routing YANG module with more route attributes. A RIB is a collection of routes with attributes controlled and manipulated by control plane protocols. Each RIB contains only routes of one address family . Within a protocol, routes are selected based on the metrics in use by that protocol, and the protocol installs the routes to the RIB. The RIB selects the preferred or active route by comparing the route preference (aka administrative distance) of the candidate routes installed by different protocols. The module defined in this document extends the RIB to support more route attributes, such as multiple next hops, route metrics, and administrative tags. The YANG modules defined and discussed in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) .

Design of the Model The YANG module defined in this document augments the ietf-routing, ietf-ipv4-unicast-routing, and ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing YANG modules defined in , which provide a basis for routing system data model development. Together with the ietf-routing YANG module and other YANG modules defined in , a generic RIB YANG data model is defined herein to implement and monitor a RIB. The modules in also define the basic configuration and operational state for both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes. This document provides augmentations for static routes to support multiple next hops and more next-hop attributes.

Tags and Preferences Individual route tags are supported at both the route and next-hop level. A preference per next hop is also supported for selection of the most preferred reachable static route. The following tree snapshot shows tag and preference entries that augment static IPv4 unicast route and IPv6 unicast route next hops. augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols /rt:control-plane-protocol/rt:static-routes/v4ur:ipv4 /v4ur:route/v4ur:next-hop/v4ur:next-hop-options /v4ur:simple-next-hop: +--rw preference? uint32 +--rw tag? uint32 augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols /rt:control-plane-protocol/rt:static-routes/v4ur:ipv4 /v4ur:route/v4ur:next-hop/v4ur:next-hop-options /v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop: +--rw preference? uint32 +--rw tag? uint32 augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols /rt:control-plane-protocol/rt:static-routes/v6ur:ipv6 /v6ur:route/v6ur:next-hop/v6ur:next-hop-options /v6ur:simple-next-hop: +--rw preference? uint32 +--rw tag? uint32 augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols /rt:control-plane-protocol/rt:static-routes/v6ur:ipv6 /v6ur:route/v6ur:next-hop/v6ur:next-hop-options /v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop: +--rw preference? uint32 +--rw tag? uint32 augment /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route: +--ro metric? uint32 +--ro tag* uint32 +--ro application-tag? uint32

Repair Path The IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) calculation by routing protocol precomputes repair paths , and the repair paths are installed in the RIB. Each route next hop in the RIB is augmented with a repair path and is shown in the following tree snapshot. augment /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route /rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:simple-next-hop: +--ro repair-path +--ro outgoing-interface? if:interface-state-ref +--ro next-hop-address? inet:ip-address-no-zone +--ro metric? uint32 augment /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route /rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:next-hop-list /rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop: +--ro repair-path +--ro outgoing-interface? if:interface-state-ref +--ro next-hop-address? inet:ip-address-no-zone +--ro metric? uint32

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 or RESTCONF . The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) . The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS . The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) 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 the ietf-rib-extension.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:

• /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference
• /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag
• /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list /v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference
• /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list /v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag
• /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference
• /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag
• /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list /v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference
• /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list /v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag

For these augmentations to ietf-routing.yang, the ability to delete, add, and modify IPv4 and IPv6 static route preferences and tags would allow traffic to be misrouted. Some of the readable data nodes in the ietf-rib-extension.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:

• /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rib-ext:statistics
• /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:metric
• /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:tag
• /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:application-tag
• /rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:repair-path
• /rt:routes/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop/rib-ext:repair-path

Exposing the RIB will expose the routing topology of the network. This may be undesirable due to the fact that such exposure may facilitate other attacks. Additionally, network operators may consider their topologies to be sensitive confidential data. All the security considerations for writable and readable data nodes defined in apply to the augmentations described herein.

References Normative References This document describes an IANA maintained registry for IETF standards which use Extensible Markup Language (XML) related items such as Namespaces, Document Type Declarations (DTDs), Schemas, and Resource Description Framework (RDF) Schemas. YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications. [STANDARDS-TRACK] The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized as remote procedure calls (RPCs). This document obsoletes RFC 4741. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document describes a method for invoking and running the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) within a Secure Shell (SSH) session as an SSH subsystem. This document obsoletes RFC 4742. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document introduces a collection of common data types to be used with the YANG data modeling language. This document obsoletes RFC 6021. YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for network management protocols. This document describes the syntax and semantics of version 1.1 of the YANG language. YANG version 1.1 is a maintenance release of the YANG language, addressing ambiguities and defects in the original specification. There are a small number of backward incompatibilities from YANG version 1. This document also specifies the YANG mappings to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). This document describes an HTTP-based protocol that provides a programmatic interface for accessing data defined in YANG, using the datastore concepts defined in the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). The standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) or the RESTCONF protocol requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. This document defines such an access control model. This document obsoletes RFC 6536. Datastores are a fundamental concept binding the data models written in the YANG data modeling language to network management protocols such as the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and RESTCONF. This document defines an architectural framework for datastores based on the experience gained with the initial simpler model, addressing requirements that were not well supported in the initial model. This document updates RFC 7950. This document defines a YANG data model for the management of network interfaces. It is expected that interface-type-specific data models augment the generic interfaces data model defined in this document. The data model includes definitions for configuration and system state (status information and counters for the collection of statistics). The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342. This document obsoletes RFC 7223. This document specifies three YANG modules and one submodule. Together, they form the core routing data model that serves as a framework for configuring and managing a routing subsystem. It is expected that these modules will be augmented by additional YANG modules defining data models for control-plane protocols, route filters, and other functions. The core routing data model provides common building blocks for such extensions -- routes, Routing Information Bases (RIBs), and control-plane protocols. The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA). This document obsoletes RFC 8022. This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS allows client/server applications to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. This document updates RFCs 5705 and 6066, and obsoletes RFCs 5077, 5246, and 6961. This document also specifies new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations. This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage OSPF. The model is based on YANG 1.1 as defined in RFC 7950 and conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as described in RFC 8342. This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure and manage the IS-IS protocol on network elements. World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation REC-xml-20081126 Informative References This document provides a framework for the development of IP fast- reroute mechanisms that provide protection against link or router failure by invoking locally determined repair paths. Unlike MPLS fast-reroute, the mechanisms are applicable to a network employing conventional IP routing and forwarding. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document defines encoding rules for representing configuration data, state data, parameters of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) operations or actions, and notifications defined using YANG as JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) text. This document captures the current syntax used in YANG module tree diagrams. The purpose of this document is to provide a single location for this definition. This syntax may be updated from time to time based on the evolution of the YANG language. This document defines two strategies for handling long lines in width-bounded text content. One strategy, called the "single backslash" strategy, is based on the historical use of a single backslash ('\') character to indicate where line-folding has occurred, with the continuation occurring with the first character that is not a space character (' ') on the next line. The second strategy, called the "double backslash" strategy, extends the first strategy by adding a second backslash character to identify where the continuation begins and is thereby able to handle cases not supported by the first strategy. Both strategies use a self-describing header enabling automated reconstitution of the original content.
