Abstract This document defines a YANG model for managing flexi-grid DWDM Networks. The model described in this document is composed of two submodels: one to define an flex-grid traffic engineering database, and other one to describe the flex-grid paths or media channels.

Introduction Internet-based traffic is dramatically increasing every year. Moreover, such traffic is also becoming more dynamic. Thus, transport networks need to evolve from current DWDM systems towards elastic optical networks, based on flexi-grid transmission and switching technologies. This technology aims at increasing both transport network scalability and flexibility, allowing the optimization of bandwidth usage. This document presents a YANG model for flex-grid objects in the Lopez de Vergara, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 2] Internet-Draft A YANG data model for Flexi-Grid July 2015 dynamic optical network, including the nodes, transponders and links between them, as well as how such links interconnect nodes and transponders. The YANG model for flexi-grid [I-D.draft-ietf-ccamp-flexi-grid-fwk] networks allows the representation of the flex-grid optical layer of a network, combined with the underlying physical layer. The model is defined in two YANG modules: o Optical-TED (Traffic Engineering Database): This module defines all the information needed to represent the flex-grid optical node, an transponder and link. o Media-channel: This module defines the whole path from a source transponder to the destination through a number of intermediate nodes. This document identifies the flexi-grid components, parameters and their values, characterizes the features and the performances of the flex-grid elements. An application example is provided towards the end of the document to better understand their utility. 2. Conventions used in this document 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 [RFC2119]. In this document, these words will appear with that interpretation only when in ALL CAPS. Lower case uses of these words are not to be interpreted as carrying RFC-2119 significance. In this document, the characters ">>" preceding an indented line(s) indicates a compliance requirement statement using the key words listed above. This convention aids reviewers in quickly identifying or finding the explicit compliance requirements of this RFC. 3. Flex-grid network topology model overview YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data manipulated by the NETCONF protocol. Several YANG models have already been specified for network configurations. For instance, the work in [I-D.draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-network-topo] has proposed a YANG model of a TED, but only covering the IP layer. A YANG model has also been proposed in [I-D.draft-dharini-netmod-g-698-2-yang] to configure flex-grid DWDM parameters. As stated before, we propose a model to describe an flex-grid topology that is split in two YANG sub-modules: Lopez de Vergara, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 3] Internet-Draft A YANG data model for Flexi-Grid July 2015 o flexgrid-TED: In order to be compatible with existing proposals, we augment the definitions contained in [RFC6020], by defining the different elements we find in an flex-grid network: a node, a transponder and a link. For that, each of those elements is defined as a container that includes a group of attributes. References to the elements are provided to be later used in the definition of a media channel. It also includes the data types for the type of modulation, the flex-grid technology, the FEC, etc. o Media-channel: This module defines the whole path from a source transponder to the destination through a number of intermediate nodes and links. For this, it takes the information defined before in the flex-grid TED. The following section provides a detailed view of each module. 4. Main building blocks Subsections below detail each of the defined YANG modules. They are listed in Appendix A. 4.1. Flex-grid TED The description of the three main components, flex-grid-node, flex-grid-transponder and flex-grid-link is provided below. flex-grid-sliceable-transponders are also defined. ::= : This element designates a node in the network ::= : Contains all the attributes related to the node, such as its unique id, its interfaces or its management addresses. : An unique numeric identifier for the node. It is also used as a reference in order to point to it in the media-channel module. ::= [ / ] : The list containing all the information of the interfaces Lopez de Vergara, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 4] Internet-Draft A YANG data model for Flexi-Grid July 2015 : Determines the interface name. : Port number of the interface. : Boolean value that defines whether the interface is input or not. : Boolean value that defines whether the interface is output or not. : Description of the usage of the interface. : Determines if the interface is numbered or unnumbered. ::= : A interface with its own IP address : Only available if is "numbered-interface". Determines the IP address of the interface. ::=
