1.  Introduction

   This document defines a data model for The Babel Routing Protocol
   [RFC8966].  The data model is defined using YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] and is
   Network Management Datastore Architecture (NDMA) [RFC8342]
   compatible.  It is based on the Babel Information Model [RFC9046].
   The data model only includes data nodes that are useful for managing
   Babel over IPv6.

1.1.  Note to RFC Editor

   Artwork in this document contains shorthand references to drafts in
   progress.  Please apply the following replacements and remove this
   note before publication.

   *  "XXXX" --> the assigned RFC value for this draft both in this
      draft and in the YANG models under the revision statement.

      updated with the date the draft gets approved.  The date also
      needs to get reflected on the line with <CODE BEGINS>.

1.2.  Tree Diagram Annotations

   For a reference to the annotations used in tree diagrams included in
   this draft, please see YANG Tree Diagrams [RFC8340].

2.  Babel Module

   This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] data model for the
   configuration and management of Babel.  The YANG module is based on
   the Babel Information Model [RFC9046].

2.1.  Information Model

   There are a few things that should be noted between the Babel
   Information Model and this data module.  The information model
   mandates the definition of some of the attributes, e.g., 'babel-
   implementation-version' or the 'babel-self-router-id'.  These
   attributes are marked as read-only objects in the information module
   as well as in this data module.  However, there is no way in the data
   module to mandate that a read-only attribute be present.  It is up to
   the implementation of this data module to make sure that the
   attributes that are marked read-only and are mandatory are indeed
   present.

2.2.  Tree Diagram

   The following diagram illustrates a top level hierarchy of the model.
   In addition to the version implemented by this device, the model
   contains subtrees on 'constants', 'interfaces', 'mac-key-set',
   'dtls', and 'routes'.

               /rt:control-plane-protocol:
       +--rw babel!
          +--ro version?              string
          +--rw enable                boolean
          +--ro router-id?            binary
          +--ro seqno?                uint16
          +--rw statistics-enabled?   boolean
          +--rw constants
          |     ...
          +--rw interfaces* [reference]
          |     ...
          +--rw mac-key-set* [name]
          |     ...
          +--rw dtls* [name]
          |     ...
          +--ro routes* [prefix]
                ...

   The 'interfaces' subtree describes attributes such as the 'interface'
   object that is being referenced, the type of link, e.g., wired,
   wireless or tunnel, as enumerated by 'metric-algorithm' and 'split-
   horizon' and whether the interface is enabled or not.

   The 'constants' subtree describes the UDP port used for sending and
   receiving Babel messages, and the multicast group used to send and
   receive announcements on IPv6.

   The 'routes' subtree describes objects such as the prefix for which
   the route is advertised, a reference to the neighboring route, and
   'next-hop' address.

   Finally, for security two subtrees are defined to contain MAC keys
   and DTLS certificates.  The 'mac-key-set' subtree contains keys used
   with the MAC security mechanism.  The boolean flag 'default-apply'
   indicates whether the set of MAC keys is automatically applied to new
   interfaces.  The 'dtls' subtree contains certificates used with DTLS
   security mechanism.  Similar to the MAC mechanism, the boolean flag
   'default-apply' indicates whether the set of DTLS certificates is
   automatically applied to new interfaces.

2.3.  YANG Module

   This YANG module augments the YANG Routing Management [RFC8349]
   module to provide a common framework for all routing subsystems.  By
   augmenting the module it provides a common building block for routes,
   and Routing Information Bases (RIBs).  It also has a reference to an
   interface defined by A YANG Data Model for Interface Management
   [RFC8343].

   A router running Babel routing protocol can sometimes determine the
   parameters it needs to use for an interface based on the interface
   name.  For example, it can detect that eth0 is a wired interface, and
   that wlan0 is a wireless interface.  This is not true for a tunnel
   interface, where the link parameters need to be configured
   explicitly.

   For a wired interface, it will assume 'two-out-of-three' for 'metric-
   algorithm', and 'split-horizon' set to true.  On the other hand, for
   a wireless interface it will assume 'etx' for 'metric-algorithm', and
   'split-horizon' set to false.  However, if the wired link is
   connected to a wireless radio, the values can be overriden by setting
   'metric-algorithm' to 'etx', and 'split-horizon' to false.
   Similarly, an interface that is a metered 3G link, and used for
   fallback connectivity needs much higher default time constants, e.g.,
   'mcast-hello-interval', and 'update-interval', in order to avoid
   carrying control traffic as much as possible.

   In addition to the modules used above, this module imports
   definitions from Common YANG Data Types [RFC6991], and references
   HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication [RFC2104], Using
   HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 with IPsec [RFC4868],
   The Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Version 1.3
   [I-D.ietf-tls-dtls13], The Blake2 Cryptographic Hash and Message
   Authentication Code (MAC) [RFC7693], Babel Information Model
   [RFC9046], The Babel Routing Protocol [RFC8966], YANG Data Types and
   Groupings for Cryptography [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types], Network
   Configuration Access Control Model [RFC8341] and MAC Authentication
   for Babel [RFC8967].

3.  IANA Considerations

   This document registers a URI and a YANG module.

3.1.  URI Registrations

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel

3.2.  YANG Module Name Registration

   This document registers a YANG module in the YANG Module Names
   registry YANG [RFC6020].

   Name:ietf-babel
   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-babel
   prefix: babel
   reference: RFC XXXX

4.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
   that is designed to be accessed via network management protocol such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  The lowest NETCONF layer
   is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure
   transport is SSH [RFC6242].  The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and
   the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].

   The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM [RFC8341]) provides the means
   to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured
   subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.

   The security considerations outlined here are specific to the YANG
   data model, and do not cover security considerations of the Babel
   protocol or its security mechanisms in The Babel Routing Protocol
   [RFC8966], MAC Authentication for the Babel Routing Protocol
   [RFC8967], and Babel Routing Protocol over Data Transport Layer
   Security [RFC8968].  Each of these has its own Security
   Considerations section for considerations that are specific to it.

   There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are
   writable/created/deleted (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 from a config true perspective:

Jethanandani & Stark      Expires 26 March 2022                [Page 32]

   'babel': This container includes an 'enable' parameter that can be
   used to enable or disable use of Babel on a router

   'babel/constants': This container includes configuration parameters
   that can prevent reachability if misconfigured.

   'babel/interfaces': This leaf-list has configuration parameters that
   can enable/disable security mechanisms and change performance
   characteristics of the Babel protocol.  For example, enabling logging
   of packets and giving unintended access to the log files gives an
   attacker detailed knowledge of the network, and allows it to launch
   an attack on the traffic traversing the network device.

   'babel/hmac' and 'babel/dtls': These contain security credentials
   that influence whether incoming packets are trusted, and whether
   outgoing packets are produced in a way such that the receiver will
   treat them as trusted.

   Some of the readable data or config false 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.  These are the
   subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability from a
   config false perpective:

   'babel': Access to the information in the various nodes can disclose
   the network topology.  Additionally, the routes used by a network
   device may be used to mount a subsequent attack on traffic traversing
   the network device.

   'babel/hmac' and 'babel/dtls': These contain security credentials,
   including private credentials of the router; however it is required
   that these values not be readable.

   Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control access to these operations.  These are the
   operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability from a RPC operation
   perspective:

   This model defines two actions.  Resetting the statistics within an
   interface container would be visible to any monitoring processes,
   which should be designed to account for the possibility of such a
   reset.  The "test" action allows for validation that a MAC key and
   MAC algorithm have been properly configured.  The MAC key is a
   sensitive piece of information, and it is important to prevent an
   attacker that does not know the MAC key from being able to determine
   the MAC value by trying different input parameters.  The "test"

   action has been designed to not reveal such information directly.
   Such information might also be revealed indirectly, due to side
   channels such as the time it takes to produce a response to the
   action.  Implementations SHOULD use a constant-time comparison
   between the input mac and the locally generated MAC value for
   comparison, in order to avoid such side channel leakage.

A.2.  Statistics Gathering Enabled

   In this example, interface eth0 is being configured for routing
   protocol Babel, and statistics gathering is enabled.  For security,
   HMAC-SHA256 is supported.  Every sent Babel packets is signed with
   the key value provided, and every received Babel packet is verified
   with the same key value.

  <!-- In this example, babeld is configured on three interfaces

   interface eth0
   interface eth1 type wireless
   interface tun0 type tunnel

   Here, interface eth1 is an Ethernet bridged to a wireless radio, so
   babeld's autodetection fails, and the interface type needs to be
   configured manually.  Tunnels are not detected automatically, so this
   needs to be specified.

   This is equivalent to the following:

   interface eth0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true
   interface eth1 metric-algorithm etx split-horizon false
   interface tun0 metric-algorithm 2-out-of-3 split-horizon true
