YANG [YANG] (Bjorklund, M., Ed., “YANG - A data modeling language for NETCONF,” .) is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the NETCONF [RFC4741] (Enns, R., “NETCONF Configuration Protocol,” December 2006.) protocol. The YANG language supports a small set of built-in data types and provides mechanisms to derive other types from the built-in types.
This document introduces a collection of common data types derived from the built-in YANG data types. The definitions are organized in several YANG modules. The "ietf‑yang‑types" module contains generally useful data types. The "ietf‑inet‑types" module contains definitions that are relevant for the Internet protocol suite.
The derived types are generally designed to be applicable for modeling all areas of management information.
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] (Bradner, S., “Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels,” March 1997.).

This section provides a short overview over the types defined in subsequent sections and their equivalent SMIv2 data types. A YANG data type is equivalent to an SMIv2 data type if the data types have the same set of values and the semantics of the values are equivalent.

"The counter32 type represents a non-negative integer

maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal), when it
wraps around and starts increasing again from zero.
Counters have no defined `initial' value, and thus, a
single value of a counter has (in general) no information
content. Discontinuities in the monotonically increasing
value normally occur at re-initialization of the
management system, and at other times as specified in the
description of a schema node using this type. If such
other times can occur, for example, the creation of an
a schema node of type counter32 at times other than
re-initialization, then a corresponding schema node
should be defined, with an appropriate type, to indicate
the last discontinuity.
The counter32 type should not be used for configuration
schema nodes. A default statement should not be used for
attributes with a type value of counter32.

}
description
"The date-and-time type is a profile of the ISO 8601
standard for representation of dates and times using the
Gregorian calendar. The format is most easily described
using the following ABFN (replacing double quotes with
single quotes):
date-fullyear = 4DIGIT
date-month = 2DIGIT ; 01-12
date-mday = 2DIGIT ; 01-28, 01-29, 01-30, 01-31
time-hour = 2DIGIT ; 00-23
time-minute = 2DIGIT ; 00-59
time-second = 2DIGIT ; 00-58, 00-59, 00-60
time-secfrac = '.' 1*DIGIT
time-numoffset = ('+' / '-') time-hour ':' time-minute
time-offset = 'Z' / time-numoffset
partial-time = time-hour ':' time-minute ':' time-second
[time-secfrac]
full-date = date-fullyear '-' date-month '-' date-mday
full-time = partial-time time-offset
date-time = full-date 'T' full-time
The date-and-time type is consistent with the semantics defined
in RFC 3339. The date-and-time type is compatible with the
dateTime XML schema type with the following two notable
exceptions:
(a) The date-and-time type does not allow negative years.
(b) The date-and-time time-offset -00:00 indicates an unknown
time zone (see RFC 3339) while -00:00 and +00:00 and Z all
represent the same time zone in dateTime.
(c) The canonical format (see below) of data-and-time values
differs from the canonical format used by the dateTime XML
schema type, which requires all times to be in UTC using the
time-offset 'Z'.
This type is not equivalent to the DateAndTime textual
convention of the SMIv2 since RFC 3339 uses a different
separator between full-date and full-time and provides
higher resolution of time-secfrac.
The canonical format for date-and-time values with a known time
zone uses a numeric time zone offset that is calculated using
the device's configured known offset to UTC time. A change of
the device's offset to UTC time will cause date-and-time values
to change accordingly. Such changes might happen periodically
in case a server follows automatically daylight saving time
(DST) time zone offset changes. The canonical format for
date-and-time values with an unknown time zone (usually refering
to the notion of local time) uses the time-offset -00:00.";

occurrence occurred prior to the last time the associated

zero. Note that this requires all timestamp values to be
reset to zero when the value of the associated timeticks

The canonical format of an IPv6 prefix has all bits of

in the compressed format described in RFC 4291 section
2.2 item 2 with the following additional rules: The ::
substitution must be applied to the longest sequence of
all-zero 16-bit chunks in an IPv6 address. If there is
a tie, the first sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks is
replaced by ::. Single all-zero 16-bit chunks are not
compressed. The canonical format uses lower-case
characters and leading zeros are not allowed.";

"The domain-name type represents a DNS domain name. The
name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever possible.
Internet domain names are only loosely specified. Section
3.5 of RFC 1034 recommends a syntax (modified in section
2.1 of RFC 1123). The pattern above is intended to allow
for current practise in domain name use, and some possible
future expansion. It is designed to hold various types of
domain names, including names used for A or AAAA records
(host names) and other records, such as SRV records. Note
that Internet host names have a stricter syntax (described
in RFC 952) than the DNS recommendations in RFCs 1034 and
1123, and that systems that want to store host names in
schema nodes using the domain-name type are recommended to
adhere to this stricter standard to ensure interoperability.
The encoding of DNS names in the DNS protocol is limited
to 255 characters. Since the encoding consists of labels
prefixed by a length bytes and there is a trailing NULL
byte, only 253 characters can appear in the textual dotted
notation.
The description clause of schema nodes using the domain-name
type MUST describe when and how these names are resolved to
IP addresses. Note that the resolution of a domain-name value
may require to query multiple DNS records (e.g., A for IPv4
and AAAA for IPv6). The order of the resolution process and
which DNS record takes precedence can either be defined
explicitely or it may depend on the configuration of the
resolver.
The canonical format for domain-name values uses the
US-ASCII encoding and case-insensitive characters are set
to lowercase.";

Objects using the uri type MUST be in US-ASCII encoding,
and MUST be normalized as described by RFC 3986 Sections
6.2.1, 6.2.2.1, and 6.2.2.2. All unnecessary
percent-encoding is removed, and all case-insensitive
characters are set to lowercase except for hexadecimal
digits, which are normalized to uppercase as described in
Section 6.2.2.1.
The purpose of this normalization is to help provide
unique URIs. Note that this normalization is not
sufficient to provide uniqueness. Two URIs that are
textually distinct after this normalization may still be
equivalent.
Objects using the uri type may restrict the schemes that
they permit. For example, 'data:' and 'urn:' schemes
might not be appropriate.
A zero-length URI is not a valid URI. This can be used to
express 'URI absent' where required.
This type is in the value set and its semantics equivalent
to the Uri SMIv2 textual convention defined in RFC 5017.";

This document registers two URIs in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688] (Mealling, M., “The IETF XML Registry,” January 2004.). Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration is requested.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF. XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers two YANG modules in the YANG Module Names registry [YANG] (Bjorklund, M., Ed., “YANG - A data modeling language for NETCONF,” .).

This document defines common data types using the YANG data modeling language. The definitions themselves have no security impact on the Internet but the usage of these definitions in concrete YANG modules might have. The security considerations spelled out in the YANG specification [YANG] (Bjorklund, M., Ed., “YANG - A data modeling language for NETCONF,” .) apply for this document as well.
