1. Introduction
This document defines two YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules to support the
configuration of UDP clients and UDP servers [RFC768], either as
standalone or in conjunction with configuration of other layers.
2. The "ietf-udp-client" Module
The "ietf-udp-client" YANG module defines the "udp-client-grouping"
grouping for configuring UDP clients with remote server information.
2.1. The "udp-client-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the tree structure
of the "udp-client-grouping" grouping:

+-- remote-address inet:host
+-- remote-port? inet:port-number
+-- local-address? inet:ip-address {local-binding-supported}?
+-- local-port? inet:port-number {local-binding-supported}?
2.2. Example Usage

4. 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.
Since the module in this document only define groupings, these
considerations are primarily for the designers of other modules that
use these groupings.
None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM
"default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes
defined in this module.
None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM
"default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes
defined in this module.
This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and
thus the security consideration for such is not provided here.
5. IANA Considerations
This document describes the URIs from IETF XML Registry and the
registration of a two new YANG module names
5.1. URI
IANA is requested to assign two new URI from the IETF XML Registry
[RFC3688]. The following two URIs are suggested:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-client
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
Huang Feng, et al. Expires 19 December 2024 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft udp-client-server-grouping June 2024
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-server
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
5.2. YANG module name
This document also requests two new YANG module names in the YANG
Module Names registry [RFC8342] with the following suggestions:
name: ietf-udp-client
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-client
prefix: udpc
maintained by IANA? N
reference: RFC-to-be
name: ietf-udp-server
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-udp-server
prefix: udps
maintained by IANA? N
reference: RFC-to-be
