Introduction + + This document defines three YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules to support the + configuration of TCP clients and TCP servers (TCP is defined in + [RFC9293]). The data models defined by these modules may be used + directly (e.g., to define a specific TCP client or TCP server) or in + conjunction with the configuration defined for higher level protocols + that depend on TCP (e.g., SSH, TLS, etc.). Examples of higher level + protocol configuration designed to be used in conjunction with this + configuration are in [RFC9644] and [RFC9645]. + + The modules focus on three different types of base TCP parameters + that matter for TCP-based applications: First, the modules cover + fundamental configuration of a TCP client or TCP server application, + such as addresses and port numbers. Second, a reusable grouping + enables modification of application-specific parameters for TCP + connections, such as use of TCP keepalives. And third, client + configuration for traversing proxies is included as well. In each + case, the modules have a very narrow scope and focus on a minimum set + of required parameters. + + Please be advised that while this document presents support for some + TCP proxy techniques, there are other TCP proxy techniques that are + not part of this document but could be added by augmenting the YANG + module. + +1.1. Relation to Other RFCs + + This document presents three YANG modules [RFC7950] that are part of + a collection of RFCs that work together to ultimately support the + configuration of both the clients and servers of both the Network + Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. + + The dependency relationship between the primary YANG groupings + defined in the various RFCs is presented in the below diagram. In + some cases, a document may define secondary groupings that introduce + dependencies not illustrated in the diagram. The labels in the + diagram are shorthand names for the defining RFCs. The citation + references for shorthand names are provided below the diagram. + + Please note that the arrows in the diagram point from referencer to + referenced. For example, the "crypto-types" RFC does not have any + dependencies, whilst the "keystore" RFC depends on the "crypto-types" + RFC. + + crypto-types + ^ ^ + / \ + / \ + truststore keystore + ^ ^ ^ ^ + | +---------+ | | + | | | | + | +------------+ | + tcp-client-server | / | | + ^ ^ ssh-client-server | | + | | ^ tls-client-server + | | | ^ ^ http-client-server + | | | | | ^ + | | | +-----+ +---------+ | + | | | | | | + | +-----------|--------|--------------+ | | + | | | | | | + +-----------+ | | | | | + | | | | | | + | | | | | | + netconf-client-server restconf-client-server + + +========================+==========================+ + | Label in Diagram | Reference | + +========================+==========================+ + | crypto-types | [RFC9640] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | truststore | [RFC9641] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | keystore | [RFC9642] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | tcp-client-server | RFC 9643 | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | ssh-client-server | [RFC9644] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | tls-client-server | [RFC9645] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | http-client-server | [HTTP-CLIENT-SERVER] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | netconf-client-server | [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + | restconf-client-server | [RESTCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] | + +------------------------+--------------------------+ + + Table 1: Label in Diagram to RFC Mapping + +1.2.

Adherence to the NMDA + + This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore + Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. It does not define any protocol + accessible nodes that are "config false". + +1.4. Conventions + + Various examples in this document use the XML [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] + encoding. Other encodings, such as JSON [RFC8259], could + alternatively be used. + +2. The "ietf-tcp-common" Module + + This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-tcp-common". A + high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 2.1. + Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Section 2.2 + ("Example Usage"). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 2.3. + +2.1. Data Model Overview + + This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tcp-common" module in + terms of its features and groupings. + +2.1.1. Model Scope + + This document presents a common "grouping" statement for basic TCP + connection parameters that matter to applications. It is "common" in + that this grouping is used by both the "ietf-tcp-client" and "ietf- + tcp-server" modules. In some TCP stacks, such parameters can also + directly be set by an application using system calls, such as the + sockets API. The base YANG data model in this document focuses on + modeling TCP keepalives. This base model can be extended as needed. + +2.1.2. Features + + The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in + the "ietf-tcp-common" module: + + Features: + +-- keepalives-supported + + The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in + [RFC8340]. + +2.1.3. Groupings + + The "ietf-tcp-common" module defines the following "grouping" + statement: + + * tcp-common-grouping + + This grouping is presented in the following subsection. + +2.1.3.1. The "tcp-common-grouping" Grouping + + The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tcp-common- + grouping" grouping: + + grouping tcp-common-grouping: + +-- keepalives! {keepalives-supported}? + +-- idle-time? uint16 + +-- max-probes? uint16 + +-- probe-interval? uint16 + + Comments: + + * The "keepalives" node is a "presence" container so that the + mandatory descendant nodes do not imply that keepalives must be + configured. + + * The "idle-time", "max-probes", and "probe-interval" nodes have the + common meanings. Please see the YANG module in Section 2.3 for + details. + +2.1.4. Protocol-Accessible Nodes + + The "ietf-tcp-common" module defines only "grouping" statements that + are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. + Thus, this module, when implemented, does not itself define any + protocol-accessible nodes. + +2.1.5. Guidelines for Configuring TCP Keepalives + + Network stacks may include keepalives in their TCP implementations, + although this practice is not universally implemented. If keepalives + are included, [RFC9293] mandates that the application MUST be able to + turn them on or off for each TCP connection and that they MUST + default to off. + + Keepalive mechanisms exist in many protocols. Depending on the + protocol stack, TCP keepalives may only be one out of several + alternatives. Which mechanism(s) to use depends on the use case and + application requirements. If keepalives are needed by an + application, it is RECOMMENDED that the liveness check happens only + at the protocol layers that are meaningful to the application. + + A TCP keepalive mechanism SHOULD only be invoked in server + applications that might otherwise hang indefinitely and consume + resources unnecessarily if a client crashes or aborts a connection + during a network failure [RFC9293]. TCP keepalives may consume + significant resources both in the network and in endpoints (e.g., + battery power). In addition, frequent keepalives risk network + congestion. The higher the frequency of keepalives, the higher the + overhead. + + Given the cost of keepalives, parameters have to be configured + carefully: + + * The default idle interval (leaf "idle-time") is two hours, i.e., + 7200 seconds [RFC9293]. A lower value MAY be configured, but idle + intervals SHOULD NOT be smaller than 15 seconds. Longer idle + intervals SHOULD be used when possible. + + * The maximum number of sequential keepalive probes that can fail + (leaf "max-probes") trades off responsiveness and robustness + against packet loss. ACK segments that contain no data are not + reliably transmitted by TCP. Consequently, if a keepalive + mechanism is implemented, it MUST NOT interpret failure to respond + to any specific probe as a dead connection [RFC9293]. Typically, + a single-digit number should suffice. + + * TCP implementations may include a parameter for the number of + seconds between TCP keepalive probes (leaf "probe-interval"). In + order to avoid congestion, the time interval between probes MUST + NOT be smaller than one second. Significantly longer intervals + SHOULD be used. It is important to note that keepalive probes (or + replies) can get dropped due to network congestion. Sending + further probe messages into a congested path after a short + interval, without backing off timers, could cause harm and result + in a congestion collapse. Therefore, it is essential to pick a + large, conservative value for this interval. + +2.2. Example Usage + + This section presents an example showing the "tcp-common-grouping" + grouping populated with some data. + + <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. --> + <!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. --> + + <tcp-common xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp-common"> + <keepalives> + <idle-time>7200</idle-time> + <max-probes>9</max-probes> + <probe-interval>75</probe-interval> + </keepalives> + </tcp-common> + +2.3.

YANG modules using this grouping SHOULD + refine the grouping with a "default" statement, when the port + number is well-known (e.g., a port number allocated by IANA), or + with a "mandatory" statement, if a port number needs to always be + configured. The SHOULD can be ignored when the port number is + neither well-known nor mandatory to configure, such as might be + the case when this grouping is used by another grouping. + + * The "local-address" node, which is enabled by the "local-binding- + supported" feature (Section 3.1.1), may be configured as an IPv4 + address, an IPv6 address, or a wildcard value. + + * The "local-port" node, which is enabled by the "local-binding- + supported" feature (Section 3.1.1), is not mandatory. Its default + value is "0", indicating that the operating system can pick an + arbitrary port number. + + * The "proxy-server" node is enabled by a "feature" statement and, + for servers that enable it, is a "presence" container so that the + descendant "mandatory true" choice node does not imply that the + proxy-server node must be configured. The proxy-server node uses + a "choice" statement to allow one of several types of proxies to + be configured. The choices presented in this document include + Socks4, Socks4a, and Socks5, each enabled by a YANG feature (see + Section 3.1.1). Other proxy types may be added by future work. + + * This grouping uses the "password-grouping" grouping discussed in + [RFC9640]. + + * This grouping uses the "tcp-common-grouping" grouping discussed in + Section 2.1.3.1. + +3.1.3.

The "ietf-tcp-server" Module + + This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-tcp-server". A + high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 4.1. + Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Section 4.2 + ("Example Usage"). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 4.3. + +4.1. Data Model Overview + + This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tcp-server" module in + terms of its features and groupings. + +4.1.1. Features + + The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in + the "ietf-tcp-server" module: + + Features: + +-- tcp-server-keepalives + + The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in + [RFC8340]. + +4.1.2. Groupings + + The "ietf-tcp-server" module defines the following "grouping" + statement: + + * tcp-server-grouping + + This grouping is presented in the following subsection. + +4.1.2.1. The "tcp-server-grouping" Grouping + + The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tcp-server- + grouping" grouping: + + grouping tcp-server-grouping: + +-- local-bind* [local-address] + | +-- local-address inet:ip-address + | +-- local-port? inet:port-number + +---u tcpcmn:tcp-common-grouping + + Comments: + + * The "local-address" node, which is mandatory, may be configured as + an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or a wildcard value. + + * The "local-port" leaf is defined with neither a "default" nor a + "mandatory" statement. YANG modules using this grouping SHOULD + refine the grouping with a "default" statement, when the port + number is well-known (e.g., a port number allocated by IANA), or + with a "mandatory" statement, if a port number needs to always be + configured. The SHOULD can be ignored when the port number is + neither well-known nor mandatory to configure, such as might be + the case when this grouping is used by another grouping. + + * This grouping uses the "tcp-common-grouping" grouping discussed in + Section 2.1.3.1. + +4.1.3. Protocol-Accessible Nodes + + The "ietf-tcp-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that + are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. + Thus, this module, when implemented, does not itself define any + protocol-accessible nodes. + +4.2. Example Usage + + This section presents an example showing the "tcp-server-grouping" + grouping populated with some data. + + <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. --> + <!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. --> + + <tcp-server xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcp-server"> + <local-bind> + <local-address>192.0.2.2</local-address> + <local-port>49152</local-port> + </local-bind> + <keepalives> + <idle-time>7200</idle-time> + <max-probes>9</max-probes> + <probe-interval>75</probe-interval> + </keepalives> + </tcp-server> + +4.3.

Security Considerations + + The three YANG modules in this document define groupings and will not + be deployed as standalone modules. Their security implications may + be context-dependent based on their use in other modules. The + designers of modules that import these groupings must conduct their + own analysis of the security considerations. + +5.1. Considerations for the "ietf-tcp-common" YANG Module + + This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 + of [RFC8407]. + + The "ietf-tcp-common" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that + are designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such + as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols + have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure + Shell (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and + mandatory-to-implement mutual authentication. + + The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] + provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a + preconfigured subset of all available protocol operations and + content. + + Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG + modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or + vulnerable in network environments. Please review the security + considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which + nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network + environments. + + None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are + considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM + "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes + defined in this module. + + None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are + considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM + "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes + defined in this module. + + This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and + thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. + +5.2. Considerations for the "ietf-tcp-client" YANG Module + + This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 + of [RFC8407]. + + The "ietf-tcp-client" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that + are designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such + as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].

Please review the security + considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which + nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network + environments. + + One readable data node defined in this YANG module may be considered + sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. This node is + as follows: + + * The "proxy-server/socks5-parameters/authentication-parameters/ + username-password/password" node: + + The "password" node defined in the "tcp-client-grouping" + grouping is defined using the "password-grouping" grouping + presented in [RFC9640]. This grouping enables both cleartext + and encrypted passwords to be configured. As the referenced + document states, configuration of cleartext passwords is NOT + RECOMMENDED. However, in the case cleartext values are + configured, this node is additionally sensitive to read + operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be + returned to a client. For this reason, the NACM "default-deny- + all" extension has been applied to it. + + None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are + considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM + "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes + defined in this module. + + This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and + thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. + + Implementations are RECOMMENDED to implement the "local-binding- + supported" feature for cryptographically secure protocols so as to + enable more granular ingress/egress firewall rule bases. It is NOT + RECOMMENDED to implement this feature for unsecure protocols, as per + [RFC6056]. + +5.3.
