Expires 12 December 2024 [Page 2] Internet-Draft AC Glue for VPN Models June 2024 1. Introduction The document specifies a YANG module ("ietf-ac-glue", Section 6) that updates existing service and network Virtual Private Network (VPN) modules with the required information to bind specific services to Attachment Circuits (ACs) that are created using the AC service model [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit]. Specifically, the following modules are augmented: * The Layer 2 Service Model (L2SM) [RFC8466] * The Layer 3 Service Model (L3SM) [RFC8299] * The Layer 2 Network Model (L2NM) [RFC9291] * The Layer 3 Network Model (L3NM) [RFC9182] Likewise, the document augments the L2NM and L3NM with references to the ACs that are managed using the AC network model [I-D.ietf-opsawg-ntw-attachment-circuit]. The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342]. An example to illustrate the use of the "ietf-ac-glue" model is provided in Appendix A. 1.1.

This document uses terms defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit]. LxSM refers to both the L2SM and the L3SM. LxNM refers to both the L2NM and the L3NM. The following terms are used in the modules prefixes: ac: Attachment circuit ntw: Network ref: Reference svc: Service The names of data nodes are prefixed using the prefix associated with the corresponding imported YANG module as shown in Table 1: +===========+================+=========================+ | Prefix | Module | Reference | +===========+================+=========================+ | ac-svc | ietf-ac-svc | Section 5.2 of RFC SSSS | +-----------+----------------+-------------------------+ | ac-ntw | ietf-ac-ntw | RFC NNNN | +-----------+----------------+-------------------------+ | l2nm | ietf-l3vpn-ntw | [RFC9291] | +-----------+----------------+-------------------------+ | l2vpn-svc | ietf-l2vpn-svc | [RFC8466] | +-----------+----------------+-------------------------+ | l3nm | ietf-l3vpn-ntw | [RFC9182] | +-----------+----------------+-------------------------+ | l3vpn-svc | ietf-l3vpn-svc | [RFC8299] | +-----------+----------------+-------------------------+ Table 1: Modules and Their Associated Prefixes 3.

Bearers managed using "ietf-bearer-svc" may be referenced in the service ACs managed using "ietf-ac-svc". Similarly, a bearer managed using "ietf-bearer-svc" may list the set of ACs that use that bearer. In order to ease correlation between an AC service request and the actual AC provisioned in the network, "ietf-ac-ntw" uses the AC references exposed by "ietf-ac-svc". To bind Layer 2 VPN or Layer 3 VPN services with ACs, "ietf-ac-glue" augments the LxSM and LxNM with AC service references exposed by "ietf-ac-svc" and AC network references exposed by "ietf-ac-ntw". 4. Sample Uses of the Data Models 4.1. ACs Terminated by One or Multiple Customer Edges (CEs) Figure 2 depicts two target topology flavors that involve ACs. These topologies have the following characteristics: Boucadair, et al. Expires 12 December 2024 [Page 5] Internet-Draft AC Glue for VPN Models June 2024 * A Customer Edge (CE) can be either a physical device or a logical entity. Such logical entity is typically a software component (e.g., a virtual service function that is hosted within the provider's network or a third-party infrastructure). A CE is seen by the network as a peer Service Attachment Point (SAP) [RFC9408]. * CEs may be either dedicated to one single connectivity service or host multiple connectivity services (e.g., CEs with roles of service functions [RFC7665]). * A network provider may bind a single AC to one or multiple peer SAPs (e.g., CE1 and CE2 are tagged as peer SAPs for the same AC). For example, and as discussed in [RFC4364], multiple CEs can be attached to a PE over the same attachment circuit. This scenario is typically implemented when the Layer 2 infrastructure between the CE and the network is a multipoint service. * A single CE may terminate multiple ACs, which can be associated with the same bearer or distinct bearers (e.g., CE4). * Customers may request protection schemes in which the ACs associated with their endpoints are terminated by the same PE (e.g., CE3), distinct PEs (e.g., CE4), etc. The network provider uses this request to decide where to terminate the AC in the service provider network and also whether to enable specific capabilities (e.g., Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)). .--------------------. .-------. | .--.

Expires 12 December 2024 [Page 6] Internet-Draft AC Glue for VPN Models June 2024 4.2. Separate AC Provisioning From Actual VPN Service Provisioning The procedure to provision a service in a service provider network may depend on the practices adopted by a service provider. This includes the flow put in place for the provisioning of advanced network services and how they are bound to an attachment circuit. For example, a single attachment circuit may be used to host multiple connectivity services (e.g., Layer 2 VPN ("ietf-l2vpn-svc"), Layer 3 VPN ("ietf-l3vpn-svc"), Network Slice Service ("ietf-network-slice- service")). In order to avoid service interference and redundant information in various locations, a service provider may expose an interface to manage ACs network-wide using [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit]. Customers can request a bearer ("ietf-bearer-svc") or an attachment circuit ("ietf-ac-svc") to be put in place, and then refer to that bearer or AC when requesting VPN services that are bound to the bearer or AC ("ietf-ac- glue"). Also, internal references ("ietf-ac-ntw") used within a service provider network to implement ACs can be used by network controllers to glue the L2NM ("ietf-l2vpn-ntw") or the L3NM ("ietf-l3vpn-ntw") services with relevant ACs. Figure 3 shows the positioning of the AC models in the overall service delivery process. Boucadair, et al.

Expires 12 December 2024 [Page 8] Internet-Draft AC Glue for VPN Models June 2024 5. Module Tree Structure [RFC8299] specifies that a 'site-network-access' attachment is achieved through a 'bearer' with an 'ip-connection' on top. From that standpoint, a 'site-network-access' is mapped to an attachment circuit with both Layers 2 and 3 properties as per [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit]. [RFC8466] specifies that a 'site-network-access' represents a logical Layer 2 connection to a site. A 'site-network-access' can thus be mapped to an attachment circuit with Layer 2 properties [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit]. Similarly, 'vpn-network- access' defined in both [RFC9182] and [RFC9291] is mapped to an attachment circuit as per [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] or [I-D.ietf-opsawg-ntw-attachment-circuit]. As such, ACs created using the "ietf-ac-svc" module [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] can be referenced in other VPN-related modules (e.g., L2SM, L3SM, L2NM, and L3NM). Also, ACs managed using the "ietf-ac-ntw" module [I-D.ietf-opsawg-ntw-attachment-circuit] can be referenced in VPN- related network modules (mainly, the L2NM and the L3NM). The required augmentations to that aim are shown in Figure 4. Boucadair, et al.

Expires 12 December 2024 [Page 10] Internet-Draft AC Glue for VPN Models June 2024 When an AC is referenced within a specific network access, then that AC information takes precedence over any overlapping information that is also enclosed for this network access. This approach is consistent with the design in [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang] where an AC service reference, called 'ac-svc-name', is used to indicate the names of AC services. As per [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang], when both 'ac-svc-name' and the attributes of 'attachment- circuits' are defined, the 'ac-svc-name' takes precedence. The "ietf-ac-glue" module includes provisions to reference ACs within or outside a VPN network access to accommodate deployment contexts where an AC reference may be created before or after a VPN instance is created. Appendix A.1 illustrates how an AC reference can be included as part of a specific VPN network access, while Appendix A.2 shows how AC references can be indicated outside individual VPN network access entries. 6.

The YANG module specified in this document defines 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. 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) and delete operations to these data nodes without proper protection or authentication can have a negative effect on network operations. Specifically, the following subtrees and data nodes have particular sensitivities/vulnerabilities: 'ac-svc-ref' and 'ac-ntw-ref': An attacker who is able to access network nodes can undertake various attacks, such as deleting a running VPN service, interrupting all the traffic of a client. Specifically, an attacker may modify (including delete) the ACs that are bound to a running service, leading to malfunctioning of the service and therefore to Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations. : Such activity can be detected by adequately monitoring and tracking network configuration changes. Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. Specifically, the following subtrees and data nodes have particular sensitivities/ vulnerabilities: 'ac-svc-ref' and 'ac-ntw-ref': These references do not expose per se privacy-related information, however 'ac-svc-ref' may be used to track the set of VPN instances in which a given customer is involved. Boucadair, et al. Expires 12 December 2024 [Page 17] Internet-Draft AC Glue for VPN Models June 2024 Note that, unlike 'ac-svc-ref', 'ac-ntw-ref' is unique within the scope of a node and may multiplex many peer CEs. 8.
