1. Introduction
In-situ
In situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) is an
example of an on-path hybrid measurement method. IOAM defines a
method to produce for producing operational and telemetry information that may
be exported using the in-band or out-of-band method. The data types
and data formats for IOAM data records have been defined in [RFC9197]
and [RFC9326]. The IOAM data can be embedded in many protocol
encapsulations
encapsulations, such as the Network Services Service Header (NSH) [RFC9452]
and IPv6.
This document defines a data model for the configuration of IOAM
capabilities using the YANG data modeling language [RFC7950]. This
YANG data model supports five IOAM options, which are: are as follows:
* Incremental Tracing Option [RFC9197]
* Pre-allocated Tracing Option [RFC9197]
* Direct Export Option [RFC9326]
* Proof of Transit (PoT) (POT) Option [RFC9197]
* Edge-to-Edge Option [RFC9197]
2. Conventions used Used in this document This Document

The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC7950].
2.1. Tree Diagrams
Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
[RFC8340].
3. Design of the IOAM YANG Data Model
3.1. Overview
The IOAM model is organized as a list of profiles profiles, as shown in the
following figure. Each profile associates with one flow and the
corresponding IOAM information.
module: ietf-ioam
+--rw ioam
+--ro info
| +--ro timestamp-type? identityref
| +--ro available-interface* [if-name]
| +--ro if-name if:interface-ref
+--rw admin-config
| +--rw enabled? boolean
+--rw profiles
+--rw profile* [profile-name]
+--rw profile-name string
+--rw filter
| +--rw filter-type? ioam-filter-type
| +--rw ace-name? -> /acl:acls/acl/aces/ace/name
+--rw protocol-type? ioam-protocol-type
+--rw incremental-tracing-profile {incremental-trace}?
| ...
+--rw preallocated-tracing-profile {preallocated-trace}?
| ...
+--rw direct-export-profile {direct-export}?
| ...
+--rw pot-profile {proof-of-transit}?
| ...
+--rw e2e-profile {edge-to-edge}?
...
The "info" parameter is a container for all the read-only information
that assists monitoring systems in the interpretation of the IOAM
data.
The "enabled" parameter is an administrative configuration. When it
is set to
true, "true", IOAM configuration is enabled for the system.
Meanwhile, the IOAM data-plane data plane functionality is enabled.
The "filter" parameter is used to identify a flow, where the IOAM
profile can apply. There may be multiple filter types. ACL Access
Control Lists (ACLs) [RFC8519] is provide a common way to specify a
flow. Each IOAM profile can associate with an ACE(Access ACE (Access Control
Entry). When the matched ACE "forwarding" action is "accept", IOAM
actions MUST be driven by the accepted packets, when the matched ACE "forwarding" action is
"accept". packets.
The IOAM data can be encapsulated into multiple protocols, e.g., IPv6
[RFC9486] and the NSH [RFC9452]. The "protocol-type" parameter is
used to indicate where the IOAM is applied. For example, if the "protocol-type" "protocol-
type" is
IPv6, set to "ipv6", the IOAM ingress node will encapsulate the
associated flow with the IPv6-IOAM [RFC9486] format.
In this document, IOAM data includes five encapsulation types, i.e.,
incremental tracing data, preallocated pre-allocated tracing data, direct export
data, proof of transit data data, and end to end end-to-end data. In practice,
multiple IOAM data types can be encapsulated into the same IOAM
header. The "profile" parameter contains a set of sub-profiles, each
of which relates to one encapsulation type. The configured object
may not support all the sub-profiles. The supported sub-profiles are
indicated by 5 five defined features, i.e., "incremental-trace",
"preallocated-trace", "direct-export", "proof-of-transit" "proof-of-transit", and "edge-
to-edge".
This document uses the Access Control List "ietf-access-control-list" YANG module
[RFC8519], the
Interfaces "ietf-interfaces" YANG module [RFC8343] [RFC8343], and the LIME Time Types
"ietf-lime-time-types" YANG module [RFC8532].
The YANG data model in this document conform conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].
3.2. Preallocated Pre-allocated Tracing Profile
The
To ensure visibility into the entire path that a packet takes within
an IOAM domain, the IOAM tracing data is expected to be collected at
every node that a packet traverses to ensure visibility into the entire path a packet
takes within an IOAM domain. traverses. The preallocated pre-allocated tracing option
will create pre-allocated space for each node to populate its information
.
information. The "preallocated-tracing-profile" parameter contains
the detailed information for the preallocated pre-allocated tracing data. The This
information includes:
*
node-action: indicates the operation (e.g., encapsulate the IOAM
header, transit the IOAM data, or decapsulate the IOAM header)
applied to the dedicated flow.
*
use-namespace: indicates the namespace used for the trace types.
*
trace-type: indicates the per-hop data to be captured by the IOAM IOAM-
enabled nodes and included in the node data list.
*
max-length: specifies the maximum length of the node data list in
octets. The max-length "max-length" is only defined at the encapsulation node.
+--rw preallocated-tracing-profile {preallocated-trace}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw trace-types
| +--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
| +--rw trace-type* ioam-trace-type
+--rw max-length? uint32
3.3. Incremental Tracing Profile
The incremental tracing option contains a variable node data fields
where each node allocates and pushes its node data immediately
following the option header. The "incremental-tracing-profile"
parameter contains the detailed information for the incremental
tracing data.
The detailed This information is the same as that for the Preallocated Pre-
allocated Tracing
Profile. Profile; see Section 3.2.
+--rw incremental-tracing-profile {incremental-trace}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw trace-types
| +--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
| +--rw trace-type* ioam-trace-type
+--rw max-length? uint32
3.4. Direct Export Profile
The direct export option is used as a trigger for IOAM data to be
directly exported or locally aggregated without being pushed into in-
flight data packets. The "direct-export-profile" parameter contains
the detailed information for the direct export data. The detailed This
information is the same as that for the Preallocated Pre-allocated Tracing Profile, Profile
(Section 3.2), but with two more optional variables:
*
flow-id: is used to correlate the exported data of the same flow from
multiple nodes and from multiple packets.
*
enable-sequence-number: indicates whether the sequence number is
used in the direct export option.
+--rw direct-export-profile {direct-export}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw trace-types
| +--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
| +--rw trace-type* ioam-trace-type
+--rw flow-id? uint32
+--rw enable-sequence-number? boolean
3.5. Proof of Transit Profile
The IOAM Proof proof of Transit transit data is used to support the path or service
function chain verification use cases. The "pot-profile" parameter
is intended to contain the detailed information for the proof of
transit data. The "use-namespace" parameter indicates the namespace
used for the POT types. The "pot-type" parameter indicates a
particular POT variant that specifies the POT data that is included.
There may be several POT types, which have each having different configuration
data. To align with [RFC9197], this document only defines IOAM POT
type 0. User Users need to augment this module for the configuration of a specifc
specific POT type.
+--rw pot-profile {proof-of-transit}?
+--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
+--rw pot-type? ioam-pot-type
3.6. Edge-to-Edge Profile
The IOAM edge-to-edge option is used to carry data that is added by
the IOAM encapsulating node and interpreted by the IOAM decapsulating
node. The "e2e-profile" parameter contains the detailed information
for the edge-to-
edge edge-to-edge data. The detailed This information includes:
* node-action is
node-action: the same semantic as that provided in Section 3.2.
*
use-namespace: indicate indicates the namespace used for the edge-to-edge
types.
*
e2e-type: indicates data to be carried from the ingress IOAM node to
the egress IOAM node.
+--rw e2e-profile {edge-to-edge}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw e2e-types
+--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
+--rw e2e-type* ioam-e2e-type

5. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines a 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)
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
*
/ioam/admin-config: The items in the container above include the
top level
top-level administrative configurations related to the IOAM
functionalities and all the IOAM profiles. Unexpected changes to
these items could lead to the IOAM function disruption and/or
misbehavior of all the IOAM functions and/or
misbehaving IOAM profiles.
*
/ioam/profiles/profile: The entries in the list above include the
whole IOAM profile configurations. Unexpected changes to these
entries could lead to the mistake of the incorrect IOAM behavior for the
corresponding flows. Consequently, it will such changes would impact the
performance monitoring, data analytics, and the associated
reaction to network services.
Some of the readable data nodes in these this YANG modules 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. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
*
/ioam/profiles/profile: The information contained in this subtree
might give reveal information about the services deployed for the
customers.For
customers. For instance, a customer might be given access to
monitor the status of their services status. services. In that example, this scenario, the customer
customer's access should be restricted to nodes representing their
services so as not to divulge information about the underlying
network structure or services.
6. IANA Considerations
RFC Ed.: In this section, replace all occurrences of 'XXXX' with the
actual RFC number (and remove this note).
IANA is requested to assign a new URI from has registered the IETF XML Registry
[RFC3688]. The following URI is suggested: in the "IETF XML Registry"
[RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ioam
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document also requests a new
IANA has registered the following YANG module name in the YANG "YANG Module
Names
Names" registry [RFC7950] with the following suggestion:
name: [RFC6020]:
Name: ietf-ioam
namespace:
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ioam
prefix:
Prefix: ioam
reference:
Reference: RFC XXXX 9617

Appendix A. An Example of the Incremental Tracing Profile
An example of incremental tracing profile the Incremental Tracing Profile is depicted in the
following figure. This configuration is received by an IOAM ingress
node. This node encapsulates the IOAM data in the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop
option header. The trace type indicates that each on path on-path node need needs
to capture the transit delay, delay and add the data to the IOAM node data
list. The incremental tracing data space is variable, variable; however, the
node data list must not exceed 512 bytes.

Appendix B. An Example of the Pre-allocated Tracing Profile
An example of pre-allocated tracing profile the Pre-allocated Tracing Profile is depicted in the
following figure. This configuration is received by an IOAM ingress
node. This node firstly first identifies the target flow by using the ACL
"test-acl",
parameter "test-acl" and then encapsulates the IOAM data in the NSH header. NSH.
The trace type indicates that each on path on-path node need needs to capture the
name space specific
namespace-specific data in the short format, format and add the data to the IOAM
node data list. This node preallocates pre-allocates the node data list in the
packect
