Introduction This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for the IETF Network Slice Service as defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices]. This YANG module can be used in the IETF Network Slice Service Interface exposed by a provider to its customers in order to manage (e.g., subscribe, delete, or change) IETF Network Slice Services. The agreed service will then trigger the appropriate IETF Network Slice operation, such as instantiating, modifying, or deleting an IETF Network Slice. As discussed in [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], the mapping between an IETF Network Slice Service and its realization is implementation and deployment specific. The IETF Network Slice Service YANG model focuses on the requirements of an IETF Network Slice Service from the point of view of the customer, not how it is implemented by a provider. The module is classified as customer service model (Section 2 of [RFC8309]). The IETF Network Slice Service YANG model conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture [RFC8342]. Editorial Note: (To be removed by RFC Editor) This draft contains several placeholder values that need to be replaced with finalized values at the time of publication. Please apply the following replacements: * "XXXX" --> the assigned RFC value for this draft both in this draft and in the YANG models under the revision statement. * The "revision" date in model, in the format XXXX-XX-XX, needs to be updated with the date the draft gets approved.

IETF Network Slice Service Overview As defined in Section 3.2 of [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], an IETF Network Slice Service is specified in terms of a set of SDPs, a set of one or more connectivity constructs between subsets of these SDPs, and a set of SLOs and SLEs for each SDP sending to each connectivity construct. A communication type (point- to-point (P2P), point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or any-to-any (A2A)) is specified for each connectivity construct. The SDPs serve as the IETF Network Slice ingress/egress points. An SDP is identified by a unique identifier in the context of an IETF Network Slice Service. Examples of IETF Network Slice Services that contain only one connectivity construct are shown in Figure 1. Wu, et al.

The IETF network slice service 5 is a bidirectional unicast service between SDP14 and SDP15 that consists of two unidirectional P2P connectivity constructs. 4. IETF Network Slice Service Model Usage The NSSM can be used by a provider to expose its Slice Service, and by a customer to manage its IETF Network Slices Services (e.g., request, delete, or change). The details about how service requests are handled by the provider, including which network operations are triggered, are internal to the provider. The details of the IETF Network Slices realization are hidden from customers. The IETF Network Slices are applicable to use cases, such as (but not limited to) network wholesale services, network infrastructure sharing among operators, NFV (Network Function Virtualization) connectivity, Data Center Interconnect, and 5G E2E network slice. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 The IETF Network Slice Controller (NSC) is an entity that exposes the IETF Network Slice Service Interface to customers to manage IETF Network Slice Services. Typically, the NSC receives requests from its customer-facing interface (e.g., from a management system). During service creation, this interface can carry data objects the IETF Network Slice service customer provides, describing the needed IETF network slices service in terms of a set of SDPs, the associated connectivity constructs and the service objectives that the customer wishes to be fulfilled. These service requirements are then translated into technology-specific actions that are implemented in the underlying network using a network-facing interface. The details of how the IETF Network Slices are put into effect are out of scope for this document. As shown in Figure 3, in all the use cases, the model is used by the customer's higher level operation system to communicate with the NSC for life cycle management of IETF Network Slices including both enablement and monitoring. For example, in the 5G E2E (End-to-end) network slicing use-case the E2E network slice orchestrator acts as the higher layer system to request the IETF Network Slices. The interface is used to support dynamic IETF Network Slice creation and its lifecycle management to facilitate end-to-end network slice services. +----------------------------------------+ | IETF Network Slice Customer | | | +----------------+-----------------------+ | | |IETF Network Slice Service Model (NSSM) | +---------------------+--------------------------+ | IETF Network Slice Controller (NSC) | +------------------------------------------------+ Figure 3: IETF Network Slice Service Reference Architecture Note: The model can be recursive (hierarchical mode), i.e. an NSSM can map a child NSSM. As described in Section 5.3 of [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], the IETF Network Slice can support a recursive composite architecture that allows one layer of IETF network slices to be used by other layers. 5. IETF Network Slice Service Modeling Description The 'ietf-network-slice-service' module includes two main data nodes: 'slice-service' and 'slo-sle-templates' (see Figure 4). Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 The 'slice-service' list includes the set of IETF Network Slice Services that are maintained by a provider. 'slice-service' is the data structure that abstracts the IETF Network Slice Service. Under the 'slice-service', the 'sdp' list is used to abstract the SDPs. The 'connection-group' is used to abstract connectivity constructs between SDPs. The 'slo-sle-templates' container is used by an NSC to maintain a set of common network slice SLO and SLE templates that apply to one or several IETF Network Slice Services. The tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340]. The figure below describes the overall structure of the YANG module: module: ietf-network-slice-service +--rw network-slice-services +--rw slo-sle-templates | +--rw slo-sle-template* [id] | ... +--rw slice-service* [id] +--rw id string +--rw description? string +--rw service-tags | ... +--rw (slo-sle-policy)? | ... +--rw compute-only? empty +--rw status | ... +--rw sdps | ... +--rw connection-groups | ... +--rw custom-topology-ref ... Figure 4 5.1. IETF Network Slice Service SLO and SLE Templates The 'slo-sle-templates' container (Figure 4) is used by the service provider of the NSC to define and maintain a set of common IETF Network Slice templates that apply to one or several IETF Network Slice services. The exact definition of the templates is deployment specific to each network provider. Wu, et al.

Considering that there are many attributes defined and some attributes could vary with service requirements, e.g., bandwidth, or latency, multiple standard templates as well as custom "service-slo- sle-policy" are defined: 1: Standard template with no attribute specified: The exact definition of the templates is deployment specific to the provider. 2: Standard template with attributes specified: Provides the customers with the ability to define templates, or reference a predefined template "template-ref" and override specific attributes, and apply them to NS service configuration. 3: Custom "service-slo-sle-policy": More description is provided in Section 5.2.3. The following shows an example where two network slice templates can be retrieved by the customers: Wu, et al.

IETF Network Slice Services The 'slice-service' is the data structure that abstracts an IETF Network Slice Service. Each 'slice-service' is uniquely identified by an identifier: 'service-id' in the context of an NSC. An IETF Network Slice service has the following main parameters: * "id": Is an identifier that is used to uniquely identify the IETF Network Slice service within an NSC. * "description": Gives some description of an IETF Network Slice service. * "status": Is used to show the operative and administrative status of the IETF Network Slice service, and can be used as indicator to detect network slice anomalies. * "service-tags": Indicates a management tag (e.g. "customer-name" ) that is used to correlate the operational information of "Customer higher level operation system" and IETF network slices. It might be used by IETF Network Slice Service operator to provide additional information to the NSC during the automation of the IETF network slices. E.g. adding tags with "customer-name" when multiple actual customers use a same network slice service. Another use-case for "service-tag" might be for an operator to provide additional attributes to NSC which might be used during the realization of IETF Network Slice services such as type of services (e.g., L2 or L3). These additional attributes can also be used by the NSC for various use-cases such as monitoring and assurance of the IETF Network Slice services where NSC can notify the customer system by issuing the notifications. Note that all these attributes are OPTIONAL but might be useful for some use- cases. * "slo-sle-policy": Defines SLO and SLE policies for the "slice- service". More details are provided in Section 5.2.3. * "sdp": Represents a set of SDPs that are involved in the IETF Network Slice Service with each 'sdp' belonging to a single 'slice-service'. More details are provided in Section 5.2.1. * "connection-groups": Abstracts the connections to the set of SDPs of the IETF Network Slice service. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 5.2.1. IETF Network Slice Service Demarcation Points An SDP belong to a single IETF Network Slice service. An IETF Network Slice service involves two or more SDPs. An IETF Network Slice service can be modified by adding new "sdp" or removing existing "sdp". +--rw sdps +--rw sdp* [id] +--rw id string +--rw description? string +--rw location | ... +--rw node-id? string +--rw sdp-ip-address* inet:ip-address +--rw tp-ref? -> /nw:networks/network[nw:network-id =current()/../../../custom-topology-ref/network-ref]/node/nt:termination-point/tp-id +--rw service-match-criteria | ... +--rw incoming-qos-policy | ... +--rw outgoing-qos-policy | ... +--rw sdp-peering | ... +--rw ac-svc-name? string +--rw attachment-circuits | ... +--rw status | ... +--ro sdp-monitoring ... Section 5.2 of [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] describes four possible ways in which the SDP may be placed: * Within CE * Provider-facing ports on the CE * Customer-facing ports on the PE * Within PE Although there are four options, they can be categorized into two: CE-based or PE-based. To simplify the model, the NSC and the customer's system can agree on the choice of these two types without marking the type on each SDP. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 In the four options, the Attachment Circuit (AC) may be part of the IETF Network Slice service or may be external to it. Based on the definition of AC in Section 3.2 of [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], the customer and provider may agree on a per {IETF Network Slice service, connectivity construct, and SLOs/SLEs} basis to police or shape traffic on the AC in both the ingress (CE to PE) direction and egress (PE to CE) direction, which ensures that the traffic is within the capacity profile that is agreed in an IETF Network Slice service. Excess traffic is dropped by default, unless specific out-of-profile policies are agreed between the customer and the provider. To abstract the SDP options and SLOs/SLEs profiles, an SDP has several characteristics: * "id": Uniquely identifies the SDP within the Network Slice Controller (NSC). The identifier is a string that allows any encoding for the local administration of the IETF Network Slice service. * "location": Indicates SDP location information, which helps the NSC to identify an SDP. * "node-id": A reference to the node that hosts the SDP, which helps the NSC to identify an SDP. * "sdp-ip": The SDP IP information, which helps the NSC to identify an SDP. * "incoming-qos-policy" and "outgoing-qos-policy": Sets the incoming and outgoing QoS policies to apply on a given SDP, including QoS policy and specific ingress and egress traffic limits to ensure access security. When applied in the incoming direction, the rate-limit is applicable to the traffic from the SDP to the IETF scope Network that passes through the AC. When Bandwidth is applied to the outgoing direction, it is applied to the traffic from the IETF Network to the SDP of that particular slice service. If an SDP has multiple ACs, the "rate-limits" of "attachment- circuit" can be set to an AC specific value, but the rate cannot exceed the "rate-limits" of the SDP. If an SDP only contains a single AC, then the "rate-limits" of "attachment-circuit" is the same with the SDP. The definition of AC refers to Section 3.1 [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices]. * "ac-svc-name": Indicates an attachment circuit service name, for association purposes, to refer to an AC that has been created when an AC is used by multiple slices. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 * "attachment-circuit": Specifies the list of ACs by which the service traffic is received. This is an optional SDP attribute. When an SDP has multiple ACs and the AC specific attributes is needed, each "attachment-circuit" can specify attributes such as interface specific IP addresses, service MTU, etc. * "sdp-peering": Specifies the protocol for an SDP for exchanging control-plane information, e.g. L1 signaling protocol or L3 routing protocols, etc. - "peer-sap-id": Indicates a reference to the remote endpoints of an attachment circuit. A unique identifier that identifies a given Service Attachment Point (SAP) defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-sap], which defines a model of an abstract view of the provider network topology that contains the points from which its services can be attached. - "protocols": Serves as an augmentation target. Appendix A The example protocols of an SDP can be BGP, static routing, etc. * "status": Enables the control of the operative and administrative status of the SDP, can be used as indicator to detect SDP anomalies. * "service-match-criteria": Defines matching policies for network slice service traffic to apply on a given SDP. Depending on the requirements of different cases, “service-match- criteria” can be used for the following purposes: * Specify the AC type: physical or logical connection * Distinguish the SDP traffic if the SDP is located in the CE or PE * Distinguish the traffic of different CGs or CCs when multiple CGs/ CCs of different SLO/SLE may be set up between the same pair of SDPs, as illustrated in Figure 5. Traffic needs to be explicitly mapped into the IETF Network Slice's specific connectivity construct. The policies, "service-match-criteria", are based on the values in which combination of layer 2 and layer 3 header and payload fields within a packet to identify to which {IETF Network Slice service, connectivity construct, and SLOs/SLEs} that packet is assigned. * Define specific out-of-profile policies: The customer may choose to use an explicit "service-match-criteria" to map all the SDP's traffic or a subset of the SDP's traffic to a specific connection- group or connectivity-construct. If a subset of traffic is Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 matched (e.g. dscp-match) and mapped to a connectivity-construct, the customer may choose to add a subsequent "match-any" to explicitly map the remaining SDP traffic to a separate connectivity-construct. If the customer chooses to implicitly map remaining traffic and if there is no additional connectivity constructs where the "sdp-id" source is specified, then that traffic will be dropped. | | | | | Slice Service 6 with 2 P2P CCs | v +--x-x-x-x-x-x---->---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---+ | SDP16 o/ \ o SDP17 |\ / | | +--%-%-%-%-%-%---->---%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%---+ | | | +----------------------------------------------+ |<----------IETF Network Slice Services------->| | between endpoints SDP10 to SDP17 | Figure 5: Application of Match Criteria If an SDP is placed at the port or AC of a CE or PE, and there is only one single connectivity construct with a source at the SDP, traffic can be implicitly mapped to this connectivity construct since the port or AC can be used to identify the traffic and the SDP is the only source of the connectivity-construct. Appendix B.1 shows an example of both the implicit and explicit approaches. While explicit matching is optional in some use cases, it provides a more clear and readable implementation, but the choice is left to the operator. To illustrate the use of SDP options, the below are two examples. How the NSC realize the mapping is out of scope for this document. * SDPs at customer-facing ports on the PEs: As shown in Figure 6 , customer of the IETF network slice service would like to connect two SDPs to satisfy specific service, e.g., Network wholesale services. In this case, the IETF network slice SDPs are mapped to customer-facing ports of PE nodes. The NSC uses 'node-id' (PE device ID), 'attachment-circuit' (ACs) to map SDPs to the customer-facing ports on the PEs. Wu, et al.

In this scenario, the NSC uses 'node-id' (CE device ID) , 'sdp-ip' (IP of SDP for management), 'service-match- criteria' (VLAN tag), 'attachment-circuit' (CE ACs) to map SDPs to the CE.

IETF Network Slice Service Connectivity Constructs Based on the customer's service traffic requirements, an IETF Network Slice service connectivity type could be point-to-point (P2P), point- to-multipoint (P2MP), any-to-any (A2A) or a combination of these types.

"connectivity-construct" represents this connectivity construct, and "slo-sle-policy" under it represents the per-connectivity construct SLO and SLE requirements. Apart from the per-connectivity construct SLO and SLE, slice service traffic is usually managed by combining similar types of traffic. For example, some connections for video services require high bandwidth, and some connections for voice over IP request low latency and reliability. "connection-group" is thus defined to treat each type as a class with per-connection-group SLO and SLE such that the connectivity construct can inherit the SLO/SLE from the group if not explicitly defined. Additionally, in the case of Hub&Spoke connectivity, it may be inefficient when there are a large number of SDP with the multiple CCs. As illustrated in Appendix B.3, "connectivity-type" of "vpn- common:hub-spoke" and "connection-group-sdp-role" of "vpn-common:hub- role" or "vpn-common:spoke-role" can be specified. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 19] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 5.2.3. IETF Network Slice Service SLO and SLE Policy As defined in section 4 [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], the SLO and SLE policy of an IETF Network Slice service defines some common attributes. "slo-sle-policy" is used to represent specific SLO and SLE policies. During the creation of an IETF Network Slice service, the policy can be specified either by a standard SLO and SLO template or a customized SLO and SLE policy. The policy can apply to per-network slice service, per-connection group "connection group", or per-connectivity construct "connectivity-construct". Since there are multiple mechanisms for assigning a policy to a single connectivity construct, an override precedence order among them is as follows: * Connectivity-construct at an individual sending SDP * Connectivity-construct * Connection-group * Slice-level That is, the policy assigned through the sending SDP has highest precedence, and the policy assigned by the slice level has lowest precedence. Therefore, the policy assigned through the sending SDP takes precedence over the policy assigned through the connection- construct entry. Appendix B.5 gives an example of the preceding policy, which shows a slice service having an any-to-any connectivity as default and several specific SLO connections. The container "metric-bounds" supports all the variations and combinations of SLOs, which includes a list of "metric-bound" and each "metric-bound" could specify a particular "metric-type". "metric-type" is defined with YANG identity and supports the following options: "service-slo-one-way-bandwidth": Indicates the guaranteed minimum bandwidth between any two SDPs. And the bandwidth is unidirectional. "service-slo-two-way-bandwidth": Indicates the guaranteed minimum bandwidth between any two SDPs. And the bandwidth is bidirectional. "service-slo-one-way-delay-maximum": Indicates the maximum one-way Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 20] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 latency between two SDPs. "service-slo-two-way-delay-maximum": Indicates the maximum round- trip latency between two SDPs. "service-slo-one-way-delay-percentile": Indicates the percentile objective of the one-way latency between two SDPs. "service-slo-two-way-delay-percentile": Indicates the percentile objective of the round-trip latency between two SDPs. "service-slo-one-way-delay-variation-maximum": Indicates the jitter constraint of the slice maximum permissible delay variation, and is measured by the difference in the one-way latency between sequential packets in a flow. "service-slo-two-way-delay-variation-maximum": Indicates the jitter constraint of the slice maximum permissible delay variation, and is measured by the difference in the two-way latency between sequential packets in a flow. "service-slo-one-way-delay-variation-percentile": Indicates the percentile objective of the delay variation, and is measured by the difference in the one-way latency between sequential packets in a flow. "service-slo-two-way-delay-variation-percentile": Indicates the percentile objective of the delay variation, and is measured by the difference in the two-way latency between sequential packets in a flow. "service-slo-one-way-packet-loss": Indicates maximum permissible packet loss rate, which is defined by the ratio of packets dropped to packets transmitted between two SDPs. "service-slo-two-way-packet-loss": Indicates maximum permissible packet loss rate, which is defined by the ratio of packets dropped to packets transmitted between two SDPs. "service-slo-availability": Is defined as the ratio of up-time to total_time(up-time+down-time), where up-time is the time the IETF Network Slice is available in accordance with the SLOs associated with it. The following common SLEs are defined: "mtu": Refers to the service MTU, which is the maximum PDU size that the customer may use. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 21] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 "security": The security leaf-list defines the list of security techniques to traffic flowing between the two SDPs, including authentication, encryption, etc. "isolation": Specifies the isolation level that a customer expects, including dedicated, shared, or other level. "max-occupancy-level": Specifies the number of flows to be admitted and optionally a maximum number of countable resource units (e.g., IP or MAC addresses) an IETF Network Slice Service can consume. "steering-constraints": Specifies the constraints how the provider routes traffic for the IETF Network Slice Service. The following shows an example where a network slice policy can be configured: { "slice-services": { "slice-service": { "id": "exp-slice", "service-slo-sle-policy": { "description": "video-service-policy", "metric-bounds": { "metric-bound": [ { "metric-type": "service-slo-one-way-bandwidth", "metric-unit": "mbps", "bound": "1000" }, { "metric-type": "service-slo-availability", "bound": "99.9%" } ] } } } } } For more complex slicing scenarios, for example a multiple connectivity-construct slice service, an “override” option is provided to completely override all or part of the slo-sle template with new values. For example, if a particular connection-group or a connectivity-construct has a unique bandwidth or latency setting, that are different from those defined in the slice-service, a new set Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 22] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 of SLO&SLE with full or partial override can be applied. In the case of partial override, only the newly specified parameters are replaced from the original template, while maintaining on pre-existing parameters not specified. While a full override removes all pre- existing parameters, and in essence starts a new set of SLOs/SLEs which are specified. The "service-slo-sle-policy-override" is used to specify the requirements. 5.2.4. IETF Network Slice Service Monitoring An IETF Network Slice service defines connectivity with specific SLO characteristics, including bandwidth, latency, etc. The connectivity is a combination of logical unidirectional connections, represented by 'connectivity-construct'. This model also describes operational and performance status of an IETF Network Slice. The statistics are described in the following granularity: * Per SDP: specified in 'sdp-monitoring' under the "sdp". * Per connectivity construct: specified in 'connectivity-construct- monitoring' under the "connectivity-construct". * Per connection group: specified in 'connection-group-monitoring' under the "connection-group". This model does not define monitoring enabling methods. The mechanism defined in [RFC8640] and [RFC8641] can be used for either periodic or on-demand subscription. By specifying subtree filters or xpath filters to "sdp", "connectivity-construct", or "connection-group", so that only interested contents will be sent. These mechanisms can be used for monitoring the IETF Network Slice performance status so that the customer management system could initiate modification based on the IETF Network Slice running status. 5.2.5. IETF Network Slice Service on Custom Topology The IETF Network Slice customer might ask for some level of control of, e.g., to customize the service paths in a network slice. Section 3.13 in [RFC8345] defines abstract topology concept to accommodate both the provider's resource capability and the customer's preferences. The abstract topology is a topology that contains abstract topological elements (nodes, links, termination points). The following nodes are the extensions for this use case Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 23] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 "custom-topology-ref": The container under the list "slice- service" is defined to reference the prebuilt topology as a customized topology constraint for a slice service. "tp-ref": A reference to Termination Point (TP) in the custom topology, under the list "sdp", is used to associate an SDP with the customized topology to create point-to-point abstract links. These abstract links can be used as the underlying links of the connectivity-construct when a NS service is created. The model can be extended if some implementations require path control with specific constraints. 5.2.6. IETF Network Slice Service Compute An NS is, by default, provisioned so that it can instantiated and deliver the service. The IETF Network Slice customer may check the feasibility before instantiating a Network Slice Service. In such a case, the NS is configured in 'compute-only' mode to distinguish it from the default behavior. A 'compute-only' NS is configured as usual with the associated per slice SLOs/SLEs. The NSC computes the feasible CC to the configured SLOs/SLEs. This computation does not create a NS or reserve any resources in the system, it simply computes the resulting NS based on information. The Network Slice “administrative-status” and the CG or CC list are used to convey the result. For example, "admin-pre- deployment" can be used to show the status. +--------+ +--------+ |customer| | NSC | +--------+ +--------+ | | | | | configuration compute-only | compute the NS |---------------------------------------->| as per the | | SDPs and | | SLOs/SLEs | | | HTTP 200 (Computed NS and Status ) | |<----------------------------------------| | | 6.

Security Considerations The YANG module defined in this document 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 NETCONF access control model [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. o /ietf-network-slice-service/network-slice-services/slice-service The entries in the list above include the whole network configurations corresponding with the slice service which the higher management system requests, and indirectly create or modify the PE or P device configurations. Unexpected changes to these entries could lead to service disruption and/or network misbehavior. 8. IANA Considerations This document registers a URI in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registration is requested to be made: URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-network-slice-service Registrant Contact: The IESG.

Farrel, "Service Models Explained", RFC 8309, DOI 10.17487/RFC8309, January 2018, . Appendix A. Attachment Circuit Augmentation Considerations An AC is technology specific. The customer and provider need to agree, through configuration, on the technology parameter values, such as the protocol types and protocol parameters between the PE and the CE. The following shows an example where BGP and static routing are augmented to the Network Slice Service model. The protocol types and definitions can reference [I-D.boro-opsawg-teas-common-ac]. augment /ietf-nss:network-slice-services/ietf-nss:slice-service/ietf-nss:sdps\ /ietf-nss:sdp/ietf-nss:sdp-peering/ietf-nss:protocols: +--rw bgp-attributes | +--rw description? string | +--rw peer-as? inet:as-number | +--rw neighbor* inet:ip-address +--rw static-attributes +--rw cascaded-lan-prefixes +--rw ip-lan-prefixes* [lan next-hop] +--rw lan inet:ip-prefix +--rw next-hop union ... In some scenarios, for example, when multiple slice services share one or more ACs, independent AC services, defined in [I-D.boro-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit], can be used. Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 56] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 Appendix B. Examples of Network Slice Services B.1. Example-1: Two Any-to-any Slice Services with different match approaches The following example describes a simplified service configuration of two IETF Network slice instances where the SDPs are the customer- facing ports on the PE: * IETF Network Slice 1 on SDP1, SDP11a, and SDP4, with an any-to-any connectivity type. This is a L3 slice service and using the uniform low-latency slo-sle-template policy between all SDPs. These SDPs will also have AC eBGP peering sessions with unmanaged CE elements (not shown) using an AC augmentation model such as the one shown above. * IETF Network Slice 2 on SDP2, SDP11b, with any-to-any connectivity type. This is a L3 slice service and using the uniform high-BW slo-sle-template policy between all SDPs. Slice 1 uses the explicit match approach for mapping SDP traffic to a connectivity-construct, while slice 2 uses the implicit approach. Both approaches are supported. Note: These two slices both use service-tags of "L3". This service- tag is operator defined and has no specific meaning in the YANG model other to give a "hint" to the NSC on the service expectation being L3 forwarding. In other examples we may choose to eliminate it. The usage of this tag is arbitrary and up to the operator and the NSC on it's need and usage. Wu, et al.

Example-2: Two P2P slice services with different match approaches The following example describes a simplified service configuration of two IETF Network slice instances where the SDPs are the customer- facing ports on the PE: * IETF Network Slice 3 on SDP5 and SDP7a with pt-to-pt connectivity type. This is a L2 slice service and using the uniform low- latency slo-sle-template policies between the SDPs. * IETF Network Slice 4 on SDP6 and SDP7b, with pt-to-pt connectivity type. This is a L2 slice service and using the the high-BW slo- sle-template policies between the SDPs. Traffic from SDP6 and SDP7b is requesting a BW of 1000Mbps, while in the reverse direction from SDP7b to SDP6, 5000Mbps is being requested. Slice 3 uses the explicit match approach for mapping SDP traffic to a Connectivity-group, while slice 2 uses the implicit approach. Both approaches are supported. Note: These two slices both use service-tags of "L2". This service- tag is operator defined and has no specific meaning in the YANG model other to give a "hint" to the NSC on the service expectation being L2 forwarding. Other examples we may choose to eliminate it. The usage of this tag is arbitrary and up to the operator and the NSC on it's need and usage. Wu, et al.

Example-6: SDP at CE, L3 any-to-any Slice Service The following example describes a simplified service configuration of one IETF Network slice instances where the SDPs are located at the PE-facing ports on the CE: * IETF Network Slice 8 with SDP31 on CE Device1, SDP33 (with two ACs) on Device 3 and SDP34 on Device 4, with an any-to-any connectivity type. This is a L3 slice service and using the uniform low-latency slo-sle-template policy between all SDPs. These SDPs will also have AC eBGP peering sessions with the corresponding PE elements. * This example also introduces the optional attribute of sdp-ip. In this example it could be a loopback on the device. How this sdp- ip is used by the NSC is out-of-scope here, but an example could be it is the management interface of the device. The SDP and AC details are from the perspective of the CE in this example. How the CE ACs are mapped to the PE ACs are up to the NSC implementation and out-of-scope in this example.

How the NSC uses the peer-sap-id is out of scope of this document, but a possible implementation would be that the NSC was previously provisioned with a peer-sap-id to PE device/interface/ vlan mapping table.

Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 104] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 Appendix D. Comparison with Other Possible Design choices for IETF Network Slice Service Interface According to the 5.3.1 IETF Network Slice Service Interface [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], the Network Slice service Interface is a technology-agnostic interface, which is used for a customer to express requirements for a particular IETF Network Slice. Customers operate on abstract IETF Network Slices, with details related to their realization hidden. As classified by [RFC8309], the Network Slice service Interface is classified as Customer Service Model. This draft analyzes the following existing IETF models to identify the gap between the IETF Network Slice service Interface requirements. D.1. ACTN VN Model Augmentation The difference between the ACTN VN model and the IETF Network Slice service requirements is that the IETF Network Slice service interface is a technology-agnostic interface, whereas the VN model is bound to the IETF TE Topologies. The realization of the IETF Network Slice does not necessarily require the slice network to support the TE technology. The ACTN VN (Virtual Network) model introduced in[I-D.ietf-teas-actn-vn-yang] is the abstract customer view of the TE network. Its YANG structure includes four components: * VN: A Virtual Network (VN) is a network provided by a service provider to a customer for use and two types of VN has defined. The Type 1 VN can be seen as a set of edge-to-edge abstract links. Each link is an abstraction of the underlying network which can encompass edge points of the customer's network, access links, intra-domain paths, and inter-domain links. * AP: An AP is a logical identifier used to identify the access link which is shared between the customer and the IETF scoped Network. * VN-AP: A VN-AP is a logical binding between an AP and a given VN. * VN-member: A VN-member is an abstract edge-to-edge link between any two APs or VN-APs. Each link is formed as an E2E tunnel across the underlying networks. The Type 1 VN can be used to describe IETF Network Slice connection requirements. However, the Network Slice SLO and Network Slice SDP are not clearly defined and there's no direct equivalent. For Wu, et al. Expires 14 September 2023 [Page 105] Internet-Draft Network Slice Service YANG Model March 2023 example, the SLO requirement of the VN is defined through the IETF TE Topologies YANG model, but the TE Topologies model is related to a specific implementation technology. Also, VN-AP does not define "service-match-criteria“ to specify a specific SDP belonging to an IETF Network Slice service. D.2. RFC8345 Augmentation Model The difference between the IETF Network Slice service requirements and the IETF basic network model is that the IETF Network Slice service requests abstract customer IETF Network Slices, with details related to the slice Network hidden. But the IETF network model is used to describe the interconnection details of a Network. The customer service model does not need to provide details on the Network. For example, IETF Network Topologies YANG data model extension introduced in Transport Network Slice YANG Data Model [I-D.liu-teas-transport-network-slice-yang] includes three major parts: * Network: a transport network list and an list of nodes contained in the network * Link: "links" list and "termination points" list describe how nodes in a network are connected to each other * Support network: vertical layering relationships between IETF Network Slice networks and underlay networks Based on this structure, the IETF Network Slice-specific SLO attributes nodes are augmented on the Network Topologies model,, e.g. isolation etc. However, this modeling design requires the slice network to expose a lot of details of the network, such as the actual topology including nodes interconnection and different network layers interconnection.
