YANG Data Model for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Hardware Offloaded Session

Abstract

This document defines a extension YANG data model that can be used to manage Hardware Offloaded Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD).

This document specially talks about BFD sessions that are offloaded to hardware.

The YANG modules in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines an extension YANG data model to base model [RFC9127] that can be used to manage BFD sessions that are offloaded to hardware. BFD is a network protocol which is used for liveness detection of arbitrary paths between systems.

1.1. Requirements Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

1.2. Tree Diagrams

This document uses the graphical representation of data models defined in [RFC8340].

2. Design of the Data Model

This yang model which is extension to base BFD yang mode been designed to manage BFD HW offloaded sessions. This new "bfd" container is augmented by all the YANG modules for their respective specific information:

  1. ietf-bfd-ip-sh-ext.yang augments "/routing/control-plane-protocols/control-plane-protocol/bfd/ip-sh/sessions/session" with the "session-offloaded" leaf for BFD sessions over IP single-hop extension.
  2. ietf-bfd-ip-mh-ext.yang augments "/routing/control-plane-protocols/control-plane-protocol/bfd/ip-mh/sessions-groups/session-group" with the "session-offloaded" leaf for BFD sessions over IP multi-hop extension.
  3. ietf-bfd-lag-ext.yang augments "/routing/control-plane-protocols/control-plane-protocol/bfd/bfd-lag/sessions/session" with the "ession-offloaded" leaf for BFD sessions over LAG extension.

3. BFD IP single-hop-ext hierarchy

An "ip-sh-ext" node is added under "bfd" node in control-plane-protocol. The operational state data for each BFD IP single-hop session is under this "ip-sh-ext" node.

module: ietf-bfd-ip-sh-ext
augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
         /rt:control-plane-protocol/bfd:bfd/bfd-ip-sh:ip-sh
         /bfd-ip-sh:sessions/bfd-ip-sh:session:
    +--rw ip-sh-ext
       +--ro session-running-ext
          +--ro session-offloaded?   boolean

4. BFD IP multi-hop-ext hierarchy

An "ip-mh-ext" node is added under "bfd" node in control-plane-protocol. The operational state data for each BFD IP multi-hop session is under this "ip-mh-ext" node.

module: ietf-bfd-ip-mh-ext
augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
         /rt:control-plane-protocol/bfd:bfd/bfd-ip-mh:ip-mh
         /bfd-ip-mh:session-groups/bfd-ip-mh:session-group:
          +rw session-offloaded?   boolean

5. BFD Over LAG-ext hierarchy

An "lag-ext" node is added under "bfd" node in control-plane-protocol. The operational state data for each BFD Over LAG session is under this "lag-ext" node.

module: ietf-bfd-lag-ext
augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols
         /rt:control-plane-protocol/bfd:bfd/bfd-lag:lag
         /bfd-lag:sessions/bfd-lag:session:
          +rw session-offloaded?   boolean

6. BFD IP single-hop ext YANG Module

This YANG module imports "ietf-bfd-ip-sh" from RFC9127 and augments.
