+1. Introduction
+
+ As a synchronization protocol, IEEE Std 1588-2008 [IEEE1588] is
+ widely supported in the carrier networks, industrial networks,
+ automotive networks, and many other applications. It can provide
+ high precision time synchronization as fine as nanoseconds. The
+ protocol depends on a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) engine to decide
+ its own state automatically, and a PTP transportation layer to carry
+ the PTP timing and various quality messages. The configuration
+ parameters and state data sets of IEEE Std 1588-2008 are numerous.

+RFC 8575 YANG Data Model for PTP May 2019
+
+
+ According to the concepts described in [RFC3444], IEEE Std 1588-2008
+ itself provides an information model in its normative specifications
+ for the data sets (in IEEE Std 1588-2008 clause 8). Some
+ standardization organizations, including the IETF, have specified
+ data models in MIBs (Management Information Bases) for IEEE Std
+ 1588-2008 data sets (e.g., [RFC8173] and [IEEE8021AS]). These MIBs
+ are typically focused on retrieval of state data using the Simple
+ Network Management Protocol (SNMP); furthermore, configuration of PTP
+ data sets is not considered in [RFC8173].
+
+ Some service providers and applications require that the management
+ of the IEEE Std 1588-2008 synchronization network be flexible and
+ more Internet based (typically overlaid on their transport networks).
+ Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is another driving factor, which
+ demands an improved configuration capability of synchronization
+ networks.
+
+ YANG [RFC7950] is a data modeling language used to model
+ configuration and state data manipulated by network management
+ protocols like the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)
+ [RFC6241]. A small set of built-in data types is defined in
+ [RFC7950]; a collection of common data types is also defined in
+ [RFC6991]. Advantages of YANG include Internet-based configuration
+ capabilities, validation, rollback, and so on. All of these
+ characteristics make it attractive to become another candidate
+ modeling language for IEEE Std 1588-2008.
+
+ This document defines a YANG data model for the configuration of IEEE
+ Std 1588-2008 devices and clocks as well as retrieval of the state
+ data of IEEE Std 1588-2008 clocks. The data model is based on the
+ PTP data sets as specified in [IEEE1588]. The technology-specific
+ PTP information (e.g., those specifically implemented by a bridge, a
+ router, or a telecom profile) is out of scope of this document.
+
+ The YANG module in this document conforms to the Network Management
+ Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].
+
+ When used in practice, network products in support of synchronization
+ typically conform to one or more IEEE Std 1588-2008 profiles. Each
+ profile specifies how IEEE Std 1588-2008 is used in a given industry
+ (e.g., telecom or automotive) and application. A profile can require
+ features that are optional in IEEE Std 1588-2008, and it can specify
+ new features that use IEEE Std 1588-2008 as a foundation.

+RFC 8575 YANG Data Model for PTP May 2019
+
+
+ The readers are assumed to be familiar with IEEE Std 1588-2008. It
+ is expected that the IEEE Std 1588-2008 YANG module will be used as
+ follows:
+
+ - The IEEE Std 1588-2008 YANG module can be used as is for products
+ that conform to one of the default profiles specified in IEEE Std
+ 1588-2008.
+
+ - When the IEEE Std 1588 standard is revised (e.g., the IEEE Std
+ 1588 revision in progress at the time of writing this document),
+ it will add some new optional features to its data sets. The YANG
+ module of this document can be revised and extended to support
+ these new features. Moreover, the YANG "revision" MUST be used to
+ indicate changes to the YANG module under such a circumstance.
+
+ - A profile standard based on IEEE Std 1588-2008 may create a
+ dedicated YANG module for its profile. The profile's YANG module
+ SHOULD use YANG "import" to import the IEEE Std 1588-2008 YANG
+ module as its foundation. Then the profile's YANG module SHOULD
+ use YANG "augment" to add any profile-specific enhancements.
+
+ - A product that conforms to a profile standard may also create its
+ own YANG module. The product's YANG module SHOULD "import" the
+ profile's module, and then use YANG "augment" to add any product-
+ specific enhancements.

+2. IEEE Std 1588-2008 YANG Data Model Hierarchy
+
+ This section describes the hierarchy of a YANG module for IEEE Std
+ 1588-2008; specifically, query and configuration of device-wide or
+ port-specific configuration information and clock data sets are
+ described.
+
+ Query and configuration of clock information include:
+
+ (Note: The attribute names are consistent with IEEE Std 1588-2008,
+ but changed to the YANG style, i.e., using all lowercase, with dashes
+ between words.)
+
+ - Clock data set attributes in a clock node, including the
+ following: current-ds, parent-ds, default-ds, time-properties-ds,
+ and transparent-clock-default-ds.
+
+ - Port-specific data set attributes, including the following:
+ port-ds and transparent-clock-port-ds.
+
+ As all PTP terminology and PTP data set attributes are described in
+ detail in IEEE Std 1588-2008, this document only outlines each of
+ them in the YANG module.
+
+ A simplified YANG tree diagram [RFC8340] representing the data model
+ is typically used by YANG modules. This document uses the same tree
+ diagram syntax as described in [RFC8340].

+
+2.1. Interpretations from IEEE 1588 Working Group
+
+ The preceding model and the associated YANG module have some subtle
+ differences from the data set specifications of IEEE Std 1588-2008.
+ These differences are based on interpretation from the IEEE 1588
+ Working Group, and they are intended to provide compatibility with
+ future revisions of the IEEE Std 1588 standard.
+
+ In IEEE Std 1588-2008, a physical product can implement multiple PTP
+ clocks (i.e., an ordinary, boundary, or transparent clock). As
+ specified in IEEE Std 1588-2008 subclause 7.1, each of the multiple
+ clocks operates in an independent domain. However, the organization
+ of multiple PTP domains was not clear in the data sets of IEEE Std
+ 1588-2008. This document introduces the concept of a PTP instance,
+ which is a PTP implementation in a device (i.e., an OC or BC)
+ represented by a specific PTP data set. Each instance operates in
+ exactly one domain. The instance concept is used exclusively to
+ allow for optional support of multiple domains. The instance number
+ has no usage within PTP messages.
+
+ Based on statements in IEEE Std 1588-2008 subclauses 8.3.1 and 10.1,
+ most transparent clock products have interpreted the transparent
+ clock data sets to reside as a singleton at the root level of the
+ managed product, and this YANG data model reflects that location.

+
+RFC 8575 YANG Data Model for PTP May 2019
+
+
+2.2. Configuration and State
+
+ The information model of IEEE Std 1588-2008 classifies each member in
+ PTP data sets as one of the following:
+
+ Configurable: Writable by management.
+
+ Dynamic: Read-only to management, and the value is changed by
+ PTP protocol operation.
+
+ Static: Read-only to management, and the value typically does
+ not change.
+
+ For details on the classification of each PTP data set member, refer
+ to the specification of that member in IEEE Std 1588-2008.
+
+ Under certain circumstances, the classification of an IEEE Std 1588
+ data set member may change for a YANG implementation, for example, a
+ configurable member needs to be changed to read-only. In such a
+ case, an implementation SHOULD choose to return a warning upon
+ writing to a read-only member or use the deviation mechanism to
+ develop a new deviation model as described in Section 7.20.3 of
+ [RFC7950].

+4. 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]. Furthermore, general security considerations of time
+ protocols are discussed in [RFC7384].
+
+ 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, and the involved subtrees that are sensitive include:
+
+ /ptp/instance-list specifies an instance (i.e., PTP data sets) for an
+ OC or BC.
+
+ /ptp/transparent-clock-default-ds specifies a default data set for a
+ TC.
+
+ /ptp/transparent-clock-port-ds-list specifies a list of port data
+ sets for a TC.
+
+ Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without
+ proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
+ Specifically, an inappropriate configuration of them may adversely
+ impact a PTP synchronization network. For example, loss of
+ synchronization on a clock, accuracy degradation on a set of clocks,
+ or even break down of a whole synchronization network.

+
+
+Appendix A. Transferring YANG Work to the IEEE 1588 WG
+
+ This Appendix is informational.
+
+ This appendix describes a future plan to transition responsibility
+ for IEEE Std 1588 YANG modules from the IETF TICTOC Working Group
+ (WG) to the IEEE 1588 WG, which develops the time synchronization
+ technology that the YANG modules are designed to manage.
+
+ This appendix is forward-looking with regard to future
+ standardization roadmaps in the IETF and IEEE. Since those roadmaps
+ cannot be predicted with significant accuracy, this appendix is
+ informational, and it does not specify imperatives or normative
+ specifications of any kind.
+
+ The IEEE Std 1588-2008 YANG module of this standard represents a
+ cooperation between the IETF (for YANG) and IEEE (for 1588). For the
+ initial standardization of IEEE-1588 YANG modules, the information
+ model is relatively clear (i.e., IEEE Std 1588 data sets), but
+ expertise in YANG is required, making IETF an appropriate location
+ for the standards. The TICTOC WG has expertise with IEEE Std 1588,
+ making it the appropriate location within the IETF.
+
+ The IEEE 1588 WG anticipates future changes to its standard on an
+ ongoing basis. As IEEE 1588 WG members gain practical expertise with
+ YANG, the IEEE 1588 WG will become more appropriate for
+ standardization of its YANG modules. As the IEEE 1588 standard is
+ revised and/or amended, IEEE 1588 members can more effectively
+ synchronize the revision of this YANG module with future versions of
+ the IEEE 1588 standard.
+
+ This appendix is meant to establish some clear expectations between
+ IETF and IEEE about the future transfer of IEEE 1588 YANG modules to
+ the IEEE 1588 WG. The goal is to assist in making the future
+ transfer as smooth as possible. As the transfer takes place, some
+ case-by-case situations are likely to arise, which can be handled by
+ discussion on the IETF TICTOC WG mailing lists and/or appropriate
+ liaisons.
+
+ This appendix obtained insight from [RFC4663], an informational memo
+ that described a similar transfer of MIB work from the IETF Bridge
+ MIB WG to the IEEE 802.1 WG.

+RFC 8575 YANG Data Model for PTP May 2019
+
+
+A.1. Assumptions for the Transfer
+
+ For the purposes of discussion in this appendix, assume that the IESG
+ has approved the publication of an RFC containing a YANG module for a
+ published IEEE 1588 standard. As of this writing, this is IEEE Std
+ 1588-2008, but it is possible that YANG modules for subsequent 1588
+ revisions could be published from the IETF TICTOC WG. For discussion
+ in this appendix, we use the phrase "last IETF 1588 YANG" to refer to
+ the most recently published 1588 YANG module from the IETF TICTOC WG.
+
+ The IEEE-SA Standards Board New Standards Committee (NesCom) handles
+ new Project Authorization Requests (PARs) (see
+ <http://standards.ieee.org/board/nes/>). PARs are roughly the
+ equivalent of IETF Working Group Charters and include information
+ concerning the scope, purpose, and justification for standardization
+ projects.
+
+ Assume that IEEE 1588 has an approved PAR that explicitly specifies
+ development of a YANG module. The transfer of YANG work will occur
+ in the context of this IEEE 1588 PAR. For discussion in this
+ appendix, we use the phrase "first IEEE 1588 YANG" to refer to the
+ first IEEE 1588 standard for YANG.
+
+ Assume that as part of the transfer of YANG work, the IETF TICTOC WG
+ agrees to cease all work on standard YANG modules for IEEE 1588.
+
+ Assume that the IEEE 1588 WG has participated in the development of
+ the last IETF 1588 YANG module, such that the first IEEE 1588 YANG
+ module will effectively be a revision of it. In other words, the
+ transfer of YANG work will be relatively clean.
+
+ The actual conditions for the future transfer can be such that the
+ preceding assumptions do not hold. Exceptions to the assumptions
+ will need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis at the time of the
+ transfer. This appendix describes topics that can be addressed based
+ on the preceding assumptions.
+
+A.2. Intellectual Property Considerations
+
+ During review of the legal issues associated with transferring Bridge
+ MIB WG documents to the IEEE 802.1 WG (Sections 3.1 and 9 of
+ [RFC4663]), it was concluded that the IETF does not have sufficient
+ legal authority to make the transfer to the IEEE without the consent
+ of the document authors.
+
+ If the last IETF 1588 YANG is published as an RFC, the work is
+ required to be transferred from the IETF to the IEEE, so that IEEE
+ 1588 WG can begin working on the first IEEE 1588 YANG.
+
+
+
+Jiang, et al. Standards Track [Page 26]
+
+RFC 8575 YANG Data Model for PTP May 2019
+
+
+ When work on the first IEEE YANG module begins in the IEEE 1588 WG,
+ that work derives from the last IETF YANG module of this RFC,
+ requiring a transfer of that work from the IETF to the IEEE. In
+ order to avoid having the transfer of that work be dependent on the
+ availability of this RFC's authors at the time of its publication,
+ the IEEE Standards Association department of Risk Management and
+ Licensing provided the appropriate forms and mechanisms for this
+ document's authors to assign a non-exclusive license for IEEE to
+ create derivative works from this document. Those IEEE forms and
+ mechanisms will be updated as needed for any future IETF YANG modules
+ for IEEE 1588 (the signed forms are held by the IEEE Standards
+ Association department of Risk Management and Licensing.). This will
+ help to make the future transfer of work from the IETF to the IEEE
+ occur as smoothly as possible.
+
+ As stated in the initial "Status of this Memo", the YANG module in
+ this document conforms to the provisions of BCP 78. The IETF will
+ retain all the rights granted at the time of publication in the
+ published RFCs.
+
+A.3. Namespace and Module Name
+
+ As specified in Section 5 "IANA Considerations", the YANG module in
+ this document uses IETF as the root of its URN namespace and YANG
+ module name.
+
+ Use of IETF as the root of these names implies that the YANG module
+ is standardized in a Working Group of IETF, using the IETF processes.
+ If the IEEE 1588 Working Group were to continue using these names
+ rooted in IETF, the IEEE 1588 YANG standardization would need to
+ continue in the IETF. The goal of transferring the YANG work is to
+ avoid this sort of dependency between standards organizations.
+
+ IEEE 802 has an active PAR (IEEE P802d) for creating a URN namespace
+ for IEEE use (see <http://standards.ieee.org/develop/
+ project/802d.html>). It is likely that this IEEE 802 PAR will be
+ approved and published prior to the transfer of YANG work to the IEEE
+ 1588 WG. If so, the IEEE 1588 WG can use the IEEE URN namespace for
+ the first IEEE 1588 YANG module, such as:
+
+ urn:ieee:Std:1588:yang:ieee1588-ptp
+
+ where "ieee1588-ptp" is the registered YANG module name in the IEEE.
+
+ Under the assumptions of Appendix A.1, the first IEEE 1588 YANG
+ module's prefix will be the same as the last IETF 1588 YANG module's
+ prefix (i.e., "ptp"). Consequently, other YANG modules can preserve
+
+

+
+
+ the same import prefix "ptp" to access PTP nodes during the migration
+ from the last IETF 1588 YANG module to the first IEEE 1588 YANG
+ module.
+
+ The result of these name changes are that for complete compatibility,
+ a server (i.e., IEEE 1588 node) can choose to implement a YANG module
+ for the last IETF 1588 YANG module (with IETF root) as well as the
+ first IEEE 1588 YANG module (with IEEE root). Since the content of
+ the YANG module transferred are the same, the server implementation
+ is effectively common for both.
+
+ From a client's perspective, a client of the last IETF 1588 YANG
+ module (or earlier) looks for the IETF-rooted module name; and a
+ client of the first IEEE 1588 YANG module (or later) looks for the
+ IEEE-rooted module name.
+
+A.4. IEEE 1588 YANG Modules in ASCII Format
+
+ Although IEEE 1588 can certainly decide to publish YANG modules only
+ in the PDF format that they use for their standard documents, without
+ publishing an ASCII version, most network management systems cannot
+ import the YANG module directly from the PDF. Thus, not publishing
+ an ASCII version of the YANG module would negatively impact
+ implementers and deployers of YANG modules and would make potential
+ IETF reviews of YANG modules more difficult.
+
+ This appendix recommends that the IEEE 1588 WG consider future plans
+ for:
+
+ - Public availability of the ASCII YANG modules during project
+ development. These ASCII files allow IETF participants to access
+ these documents for pre-standard review purposes.
+
+ - Public availability of the YANG portion of published IEEE 1588
+ standards, provided as an ASCII file for each YANG module. These
+ ASCII files are intended for use of the published IEEE 1588
+ standard.
+
+ As an example of public availability during project development, IEEE
+ 802 uses the same repository that IETF uses for YANG module
+ development (see <https://github.com/YangModels/yang>). IEEE
+ branches are provided for experimental work (i.e., pre-PAR) as well
+ as standard work (post-PAR drafts). IEEE-SA has approved use of this
+ repository for project development, but not for published standards.

+
+ As an example of public availability of YANG modules for published
+ standards, IEEE 802.1 provides a public list of ASCII files for MIB
+ (see <http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/MIBs/> and
+ <http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/MIBS.html>), and analogous lists are
+ planned for IEEE 802.1 YANG files.
