A YANG Model for Network and VPN Service Performance Monitoring
draft-ietf-opsawg-yang-vpn-service-pm-15
Abstract
The data model for network topologies defined in RFC 8345 introduces
vertical layering relationships between networks that can be
augmented to cover network and service topologies. This document
defines a YANG module for performance monitoring (PM) of both
underlay networks and overlay VPN services that can be used to
monitor and manage network performance on the topology of both
layers.

1. Introduction
[RFC8969] describes a framework for automating service and network
management with YANG [RFC7950] models. It defines that the
performance measurement telemetry model should be tied to the
services (such as a Layer 3 VPN or Layer 2 VPN) or to the network
models to monitor the overall network performance and the Service
Level Agreements (SLAs).
Wu, et al. Expires 15 May 2023 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Network and VPN Service PM YANG November 2022
The performance of VPN services is associated with the performance
changes of the underlay networks that carries VPN services. For
example, link delay between Provider Edge (PE) and Provider (P)
devices and packet loss status on Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces
connecting PEs and Customer Edge (CE) devices directly impact VPN
service performance. Additionally, the integration of Layer 2/Layer
3 VPN performance and network performance data enables the
orchestrator to monitor consistently. Therefore, this document
defines a YANG module for both network and VPN service performance
monitoring (PM). The module can be used to monitor and manage
network performance on the topology level or the service topology
between VPN sites.
The base model presented here can be extended to include technology-
specific details, e.g., adding Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
statistics for Layer 3 networks or VPN services to support
performance-sensitive applications.
This document does not introduce new metrics for network performance
or mechanisms for measuring network performance, but uses the
existing mechanisms and statistics to monitor the performance of the
network and the services.
The YANG module defined in this document is designed as an
augmentation to the network topology YANG model defined in [RFC8345]
and draws on relevant YANG types defined in [RFC6991], [RFC8345],
[RFC8532], and [RFC9181].
Appendix A provides a set of examples to illustrate the use of the
module.
2. Terminology
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this
specification:
* augment
* data model
* data node
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC7950].
The tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined
in [RFC8340].

3. Network and VPN Service Performance Monitoring Model Usage
Models are key for automating network management operations
(Section 3 of [RFC8969]). Particularly, together with service and
network models, performance measurement telemetry models are needed
to monitor network performance to meet specific service requirements
(typically captured in an SLA).

Network
Figure 1: An Example Architecture with a Service Orchestrator
The network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM) model can be
used to expose operational performance information to the layer
above, e.g., to an orchestrator or other BSS/OSS client application,
via standard network management APIs. Figure 1 shows an example
usage in a layered model architecture described in [RFC8309].
Before using the model, the controller needs to establish topology
visibility of the network and VPN. For example, the controller can
use network information from [RFC8345], [I-D.ietf-opsawg-sap] or VPN
information from the L3VPN Network Model (L3NM) [RFC9182] and the
L2VPN Network Model (L2NM) [RFC9291]. Then the controller derives
network or VPN level performance data by aggregating (and filtering)
lower-level data collected via monitoring counters of the devices
involved.
The network or VPN performance data can be based on different
sources. For example, the performance monitoring data per link in
the underlying networks can be collected using a network performance
measurement method such as One-Way Active Measurement Protocol
(OWAMP) [RFC4656], Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)
[RFC5357], Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP)
[RFC8762], Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Loss and Delay
Measurement [RFC6374] or In Situ OAM (IOAM) [RFC9197]. The
performance monitoring information reflecting the quality of the
network or VPN service (e.g., network performance data between source
Wu, et al. Expires 15 May 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Network and VPN Service PM YANG November 2022
node and destination node in the networks or between VPN sites) can
be computed and aggregated, for example, using the information from
the Traffic Engineering Database (TED), [RFC7471] [RFC8570]
[RFC8571], or LMAP (Large-Scale Measurement Platform) [RFC8194].
The measurement and report intervals that are associated with these
performance data usually depend on the configuration of the specific
measurement method or collection method or various combinations.
This document defines network-wide measurement intervals to align
measurement requirements for networks or VPN services.
3.1. Collecting Data via Pub/Sub Mechanism
Some applications, such as service-assurance applications, which must
maintain a continuous view of operational data and state, can use the
subscription model specified in [RFC8641] to subscribe to the
specific network performance data or VPN service performance data
they are interested in, at the data source. For example, networks or
VPN topologies updates may be obtained through on-change
notifications [RFC8641]. For dynamic PM data, e.g. VRF routes or
MAC entries, link metrics, and interface metrics, various
notifications can be specified to obtain more complete data. A
periodic notification [RFC8641] can be specified to obtain real-time
performance data. For devices/controllers that maintain historical
performance data for a period of time, a replay notification
[RFC5277] or [RFC8639] can be used to obtain the historical data.
And alarm notifications [RFC8632] can be specified to get alarms for
the metrics which exceed or fall below the performance threshold.
The data source can, then, use the network and VPN service
performance monitoring model defined in this document and the YANG
Push model [RFC8641] to distribute specific telemetry data to target
recipients.
3.2. Collecting Data On Demand
To obtain a snapshot of performance data from a network topology or a
VPN service topology, service-assurance applications may retrieve
information using the network and VPN service PM model through a
NETCONF [RFC6241] or a RESTCONF [RFC8040] interface. For example, a
specified "link-id" of a VPN can be used as a filter in a RESTCONF
GET request to retrieve per-link VPN PM data.
4. Description of The Data Model
This document defines the YANG module, "ietf-network-vpn-pm", which
is an augmentation to the "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology"
modules.

4.1. Layering Relationship between Multiple Layers of Topology
[RFC8345] defines a YANG data model for network/service topologies
and inventories. The service topology described in [RFC8345]
includes the abstract topology for a service layer above Layer 1
(L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3) underlay topologies. This
service topology has the generic topology elements of node, link, and
terminating point. One typical example of a service topology is
described in Figure 3 of [RFC8345]: two VPN service topologies
instantiated over a common L3 topology. Each VPN service topology is
mapped onto a subset of nodes from the L3 topology.
Figure 2 illustrates an example of a topology hierarchy that maps
between the VPN service topology and an underlying Layer 3 network
topology:

Figure 2: Example of Topology Mapping Between VPN Service
Topology and Underlying Network
As shown in Figure 2, two VPN services topologies are built on top of
one underlying Layer 3 network:
VPN 1: This service topology supports hub-spoke communications for
'customer 1' connecting the customer's access at three sites:
'Site-1A', 'Site-1B', and 'Site-1C'. These sites are connected to
nodes that are mapped to node 1 (N1), node 2 (N2), and node 4 (N4)
in the underlying Layer 3 network. 'Site-1A' plays the role of
hub while 'Site-1B' and 'Site-1C' are configured as spoke.
VPN 2: This service topology supports any-to-any communications for
'customer 2' connecting the customer's access at two sites: 'Site-
2A' and 'Site-2B'. These sites are connected to nodes that are
mapped to nodes 1 (N1) and node 3 (N3) in the underlying Layer 3
network. 'Site-2A' and 'Site-2B' have 'any-to-any' role.
Based on the association between the VPN service topologies and the
underlying network topologies, the VPN Network PM YANG module extends
the performance status of the underlay networks and VPN services.
For example, the module can provide link PM statistics and port
statistics of an underlay network, e.g. Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3,
OSPF networks. And it can also provide VPN PM statistics, which can
be further split into PM for the VPN tunnel and PM at the VPN PE
access node, as illustrated in the following diagram.

Figure 3: An Example of VPN PM
Figure 3 illustrates an example of VPN PM and two VPN PM measurement
methods including the VPN tunnel PM and the inter-VPN-access
interface PM. VPN PM can also provide statistics on VPN access
interfaces, the number of current VRF routes or L2VPN MAC entry of
VPN node.
4.2. Network Level Performance Monitoring Augmentation
The model can be used for performance monitoring both for the
underlay networks and the VPN services, which would be separate
entries in the network list [RFC8345]. The differences are as
follows:
* When the "service" presence container is absent, then it indicates
performance monitoring of the network itself.
* When the "service" presence container is present, then it
indicates performance monitoring of the VPN service specified by
the "service-type" leaf, e.g. , L3VPN or Virtual Private LAN
Service (VPLS). The values are taken from [RFC9181]. When a

network topology instance contains the L3VPN or other L2VPN
network type, it represents a VPN instance that can perform
performance monitoring
The tree in Figure 4 is a part of "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree. It
also defines the following set of network level attributes:
"vpn-id": Refers to an identifier of VPN service defined in
[RFC9181]. This identifier is used to correlate the performance
status with the network service configuration.
"vpn-service-topology": Indicates the type of the VPN service
topology. This model supports "any-to-any", "Hub and Spoke"
(where Hubs can exchange traffic), and "Hub and Spoke disjoint"
(where Hubs cannot exchange traffic) that are taken from
[RFC9181]. These VPN service topology types can be used to
describe how VPN sites communicate with each other.

4.3. Node Level Performance Monitoring Augmentation
The tree in Figure 5 is the node part of "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree.

between any two nodes each with specific node type can be
reported.

and MAC statistics. The detailed statistics are specified
separately.
For VPN service topology, the module defines one attribute:

hierarchies
For the data nodes of 'link' depicted in Figure 6, the YANG module
defines the following minimal set of link-level performance
attributes:
Percentile parameters: The module supports reporting delay and

jitter metric by percentile values. There are three percentile
values for configuring various percentile reporting levels. By
default, low percentile (10th percentile), intermediate percentile
(50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile) are used.
Configuring a percentile to 0.000 indicates the client is not
interested in receiving particular percentile. If all percentile
nodes are configured to 0.000, this represents that no percentile
related nodes will be reported for a given performance metric
(e.g., one-way delay, one-way delay variation) and only peak/min
values will be reported. For example, a client can inform the
server that it is interested in receiving only high percentiles.
Then for a given link, at a given "start-time", "end-time" and
"measurement-interval", the 'high-delay-percentile' and 'high-
jitter-percentile' will be reported. An example to illustrate the
use of percentiles is provided in Appendix A.3.
Measurement interval ("measurement-interval"): Specifies the
performance measurement interval, in seconds.
Start time ("start-time"): Indicates the start time of the
performance measurement for link statistics.
End time ("end-time"): Indicates the end time of the performance
measurement for link statistics.
PM source ("pm-source"): Indicates the performance monitoring
source. The data for the topology link can be based, e.g., on
BGP-LS [RFC8571]. The statistics of the VPN abstract links can be
collected based upon VPN OAM mechanisms, e.g., OAM mechanisms
referenced in [RFC9182], or Ethernet service OAM [ITU-T-Y-1731]
referenced in [RFC9291]. Alternatively, the data can be based
upon the underlay technology OAM mechanisms, for example, Generic
Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel OAM.
Loss statistics: A set of one-way loss statistics attributes that
are used to measure end to end loss between VPN sites or between
any two network nodes. The exact loss value or the loss
percentage can be reported.
Delay statistics: A set of one-way delay statistics attributes that
are used to measure end to end latency between VPN sites or
between any two network nodes. The peak/min values or percentile
values can be reported.
Jitter statistics: A set of one-way IP Packet Delay Variation
[RFC3393] statistics attributes that are used to measure end to
end jitter between VPN sites or between any two network nodes.
The peak/min values or percentile values can be reported.

Internet-Draft Network and VPN Service PM YANG November 2022
PM statistics per class: "one-way-pm-statistics-per-class" lists
performance measurement statistics for the topology link or the
abstract link between VPN PEs with given "class-id" names. The
list is defined separately from "one-way-pm-statistics", which is
used to collect generic metrics for unspecified "class-id" names.
VPN PM type ("vpn-pm-type"): Indicates the VPN performance type,
which can be "inter-vpn-access-interface" PM or "vpn-tunnel" PM.
These two methods are common VPN measurement methods. The "inter-
VPN-access-interface" PM is to monitor the performance of logical
point-to-point VPN connections between a source and a destination
VPN access interfaces. And the "vpn-tunnel" PM is to monitor the
performance of VPN tunnels. The "inter-VPN-access-interface" PM
includes PE-PE monitoring. Therefore, usually only one of the two
methods is used. The "inter-VPN-access-interface" PM is defined
as an empty leaf, which is not bound to a specific VPN access
interface. The source or destination VPN access interface of the
measurement can be augmented as needed.
VPN tunnel type ("vpn-tunnel-type"): Indicates the abstract link
protocol-type of a VPN, such as GRE or IP-in-IP. The leaf refers
to an identifier of the "underlay-transport" defined in [RFC9181],
which describes the transport technology to carry the traffic of
the VPN service. In the case of multiple types of tunnels between
a single pair of VPN nodes, a separate link for each type of
tunnel can be created.
For the data nodes of 'termination-point' depicted in Figure 6, the
module defines the following minimal set of statistics:
Last updated time ("last-updated"): Indicates the date and time when
the counters were last updated.
Inbound statistics: A set of inbound statistics attributes that are
used to measure the inbound statistics of the termination point,
such as received packets, received packets with errors, etc.
Outbound statistics: A set of outbound statistics attributes that
are used to measure the outbound statistics of the termination
point, such as sent packets, packets that could not be sent due to
errors, etc.
VPN network access ("vpn-network-access"): Lists counters of the VPN
network access defined in the L3NM [RFC9182] or the L2NM
[RFC9291]. When multiple VPN network accesses are created using
the same physical port, finer-grained metrics can be monitored.
If a TP is associated with only a single VPN, this list is not
required.

6. 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 write operates can lead to
inaccurate or incomplete network measurements which can impact the
visibility and decisions this data would be used to inform.
Unauthorized write access to the following subtrees could have the
following impacts:
Wu, et al. Expires 15 May 2023 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft Network and VPN Service PM YANG November 2022
+--------+----------------------+------------------------------+
| Access | Node | Potential impact |
+--------+----------------------+------------------------------+
| /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types |
| write | service type | disable VPN PM |
| write | VPN identifier | disable VPN PM |
| write | VPN service topology | render data unusable |
+--------+----------------------+------------------------------+
| /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node |
| write | node type | render data unusable |
| write | VPN topology role | render data unusable |

| /nw:networks/nw:network/nw:link/nvp:perf-mon |
| write | percentile | impact reporting cadence |
| write | measurement interval | impact monitoring fidelity |
| write | vpn-pm-type | impact monitoring fidelity |
+--------+----------------------+------------------------------+
Some readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It thus might
be important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. When using, the trade-off between
confidentiality and proper monitoring of performance needs to be
considered. Unauthorized access to the following subtrees could have
the following impacts:
* "/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node": Unauthorized read access to

Appendix A. Illustrative Examples
A.1. VPN Performance Subscription Example
The example shown in Figure 7 illustrates how a client subscribes to
the performance monitoring information between nodes ('node-id') A
and B in the L3 network topology. The performance monitoring
parameter that the client is interested in is end-to-end loss.
