Generic YANG Data Model for
Connection-Oriented Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
Protocols
Abstract
This document presents a base YANG data model for connection-oriented
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) protocols. It
provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs
for such protocols. The model presented here can be extended to
include technology-specific details. This guarantees uniformity in
the management of OAM protocols and provides support for nested OAM
workflows (i.e., performing OAM functions at different levels through
a unified interface).
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture.

RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
1. Introduction
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) are important
networking functions that allow operators to:
1. monitor network communications (i.e., reachability verification
and Continuity Check)
2. troubleshoot failures (i.e., fault verification and localization)
3. monitor service-level agreements and performance (i.e.,
performance management)
An overview of OAM tools is presented in [RFC7276]. Over the years,
many technologies have developed similar tools for fault and
performance management.
The different sets of OAM tools may support both connection-oriented
technologies or connectionless technologies. In connection-oriented
technologies, a connection is established prior to the transmission
of data. After the connection is established, no additional control
information such as signaling or operations and maintenance
information is required to transmit the actual user data. In
connectionless technologies, data is typically sent between
communicating endpoints without prior arrangement, but control
information is required to identify the destination (e.g., [G.800]).
The YANG data model for OAM protocols using connectionless
communications is specified in [RFC8532] and [IEEE802.1Q].
Connectivity Fault Management as specified in [IEEE802.1Q] is a well-
established OAM standard that is widely adopted for Ethernet
networks. ITU-T [G.8013], MEF Forum (MEF) Service OAM [MEF-17], MPLS
Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) [RFC6371], and Transparent
Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) [RFC7455] all define OAM
mechanisms based on the manageability framework of Connectivity Fault
Management (CFM) [IEEE802.1Q].
Given the wide adoption of the underlying OAM concepts defined in CFM
[IEEE802.1Q], it is a reasonable choice to develop the unified
management framework for connection-oriented OAM based on those
concepts. In this document, we take the CFM [IEEE802.1Q] model and
extend it to a technology-independent framework and define the
corresponding YANG data model accordingly. The YANG data model
presented in this document is the base model for connection-oriented
OAM protocols and supports generic continuity check, connectivity
verification, and path discovery (traceroute). The generic YANG data
model for connection-oriented OAM is designed to be extensible to
other connection-oriented technologies. Technology-dependent nodes

RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
and remote procedure call (RPC) commands are defined in technology-
specific YANG data models, which use and extend the base model
defined here. As an example, Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network
(VXLAN) uses the source UDP port number for flow entropy, while TRILL
uses either (a) MAC addresses, (b) the VLAN tag or Fine-Grained
Label, and/or (c) IP addresses for flow entropy in the hashing for
multipath selection. To capture this variation, corresponding YANG
data models would define the applicable structures as augmentation to
the generic base model presented here. This accomplishes three
goals: First, it keeps each YANG data model smaller and more
manageable. Second, it allows independent development of
corresponding YANG data models. Third, implementations can limit
support to only the applicable set of YANG data models (e.g., TRILL
RBridge may only need to implement the generic model and the TRILL
YANG data model).
The YANG data model presented in this document is generated at the
management layer. Encapsulations and state machines may differ
according to each OAM protocol. A user who wishes to issue a
Continuity Check command or a Loopback or initiate a performance
monitoring session can do so in the same manner, regardless of the
underlying protocol or technology or specific vendor implementation.
As an example, consider a scenario where connectivity from device A
loopback to device B fails. Between device A and B there are IEEE
802.1 bridges a, b, and c. Let's assume a, b, and c are using CFM
[IEEE802.1Q]. A user, upon detecting the loopback failure, may
decide to drill down to the lower level at different segments of the
path and issue the corresponding fault verification (Loopback
Message) and fault isolation (Looktrace Message) tools, using the
same API. This ability to drill down to a lower layer of the
protocol stack at a specific segment within a path for fault
localization and troubleshooting is referred to as "nested OAM
workflow". It is a useful concept that leads to efficient network
troubleshooting and maintenance workflows. The connection-oriented
OAM YANG data model presented in this document facilitates that
without needing changes to the underlying protocols.
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].

Many of the terms used in this document (including those set out in
Sections Section 2.1 and Section 2.2) are specific to the world of
OAM. This document does not attempt to explain the terms but does
assume that the reader is familiar with the concepts. For a good
overview, read [IEEE802.1Q]. For an example of how these OAM terms
appear in IETF work, see [RFC6371].

2.2. Terminology
Continuity Checks - Continuity Checks are used to verify that a
destination is reachable and therefore also are referred to as
"reachability verification".
Connectivity Verification - Connectivity Verification is used to
verify that a destination is connected. It is also referred to as
"path verification" and used to verify not only that the two MPs
are connected, but also that they are connected through the
expected path, allowing detection of unexpected topology changes.
Proactive OAM - Proactive OAM refers to OAM actions that are carried
out continuously to permit proactive reporting of fault. A
proactive OAM method requires persistent configuration.
On-demand OAM - On-demand OAM refers to OAM actions that are
initiated via manual intervention for a limited time to carry out
diagnostics. An on-demand OAM method requires only transient
configuration.
2.3. Tree Diagrams
Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
[RFC8340].
3. Architecture of Generic YANG Data Model for Connection-Oriented OAM
In this document, we define a generic YANG data model for connection-
oriented OAM protocols. The YANG data model defined here is generic
in a sense that other technologies can extend it for technology-
specific needs. The generic YANG data model for connection-oriented
OAM acts as the root for other OAM YANG data models. This allows
users to traverse between different OAM protocols with ease through a
uniform API set. This also enables a nested OAM workflow. Figure 1
depicts the relationship of different OAM YANG data models to the
Generic YANG Data Model for connection-oriented OAM. The Generic
YANG data model for connection-oriented OAM provides a framework
where technology-specific YANG data models can inherit constructs
from the base YANG data models without needing to redefine them
within the sub-technology.

4. Overview of the Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model
In this document, we adopt the concepts of the CFM [IEEE802.1Q] model
and structure such that it can be adapted to different connection-
oriented OAM protocols.
At the top of the model is the Maintenance Domain. Each Maintenance
Domain is associated with a Maintenance Name and a Domain Level.
Under each Maintenance Domain, there is one or more Maintenance
Associations (MAs). In TRILL, the MA can correspond to a Fine-
Grained Label.
Under each MA, there can be two or more MEPs (Maintenance End
Points). MEPs are addressed by their respective technology-specific
address identifiers. The YANG data model presented here provides
flexibility to accommodate different addressing schemes.

Commands are presented in the management protocol, which is
orthogonal to the Maintenance Domain. These are RPC commands, in
YANG terms. They provide uniform APIs for Continuity Check,
connectivity verification, path discovery (traceroute), and their
equivalents, as well as other OAM commands.
The OAM entities in the generic YANG data model defined here will be
either explicitly or implicitly configured using any of the OAM
tools. The OAM tools used here are limited to the OAM toolset
specified in Section 5.1 of [RFC7276]. In order to facilitate a
zero-touch experience, this document defines a default mode of OAM.
The default mode of OAM is referred to as the "Base Mode" and
specifies default values for each of the model's parameters, such as
Maintenance Domain Level, Name of the Maintenance Association,
Addresses of MEPs, and so on. The default values of these depend on
the technology. Base Mode for TRILL is defined in [RFC7455]. Base
Mode for other technologies and future extensions developed in IETF
will be defined in their corresponding documents.
It is important to note that no specific enhancements are needed in
the YANG data model to support Base Mode. Implementations that
comply with this document use, by default, the data nodes of the
applicable technology. Data nodes of the Base Mode are read-only
nodes.
4.1. Maintenance Domain (MD) Configuration
The container "domains" is the top-level container within the
"gen-oam" module. Within the container "domains", a separate list is
maintained per MD. The MD list uses the key "md-name-string" for
indexing. The "md-name-string" is a leaf and derived from type
string. Additional name formats as defined in [IEEE802.1Q], or other
standards, can be included by association of the "md-name-format"
with an identity-ref. The "md-name-format" indicates the format of
the augmented "md-name". The "md-name" is presented as choice/case
construct. Thus, it is easily augmentable by derivative work.

4.2. Maintenance Association (MA) Configuration
Within a given Maintenance Domain, there can be one or more
Maintenance Associations (MAs). MAs are represented as a list and
indexed by the "ma-name-string". Similar to "md-name" defined
previously, additional name formats can be added by augmenting the
name-format "identity-ref" and adding applicable case statements to
"ma-name".

4.4. RPC Definitions
The RPC model facilitates issuing commands to a "server" (in this
case, to the device that need to execute the OAM command) and
obtaining a response. The RPC model defined here abstracts OAM-
specific commands in a technology-independent manner.
There are several RPC commands defined for the purpose of OAM. In
this section, we present a snippet of the Continuity Check command
for illustration purposes. Please refer to Section 4.5 for the
complete data hierarchy and Section 5 for the YANG module.

4.5. Notifications
Notification is sent upon detecting a defect condition and upon
clearing a defect with a Maintenance Domain Name, MA Name, defect-
type (the currently active defects), generating-mepid, and defect-
message to indicate more details.
4.6. Monitor Statistics
Grouping for monitoring statistics is to be used by technology-
specific YANG modules that augment the generic YANG data model to
provide statistics due to proactive OAM-like Continuity Check
Messages -- for example, CCM transmit, CCM receive, CCM error, etc.

RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
6. Base Mode
The Base Mode ("default mode" described in Section 4) defines the
default configuration that MUST be present in the devices that comply
with this document. Base Mode allows users to have a "zero-touch"
experience. Several parameters require technology-specific
definition.
6.1. MEP Address
In the Base Mode of operation, the MEP Address is by default the IP
address of the interface on which the MEP is located.
6.2. MEP ID for Base Mode
In the Base Mode of operation, each device creates a single MEP
associated with a virtual OAM port with no physical layer (NULL PHY).
The MEP-ID associated with this MEP is zero (0). The choice of
MEP-ID of zero is explained below.
MEP-ID is a 2-octet field by default. It is never used on the wire
except when using CCM. It is important to have a method that can
derive the MEP-ID of Base Mode in an automatic manner with no user
intervention. The IP address cannot be directly used for this
purpose, as the MEP-ID is a much smaller field. For the Base Mode of
operation, MEP-ID is set to zero by default.
The CCM packet uses the MEP-ID in the payload. CCM MUST NOT be used
in the Base Mode. Hence, CCM MUST be disabled on the Maintenance
Association of the Base Mode.
If CCM is required, users MUST configure a separate Maintenance
Association and assign unique values for the corresponding MEP IDs.
CFM [IEEE802.1Q] defines MEP-ID as an unsigned integer in the range 1
to 8191. In this document, we propose extending the range to 0 to
65535. Value 0 is reserved for the MEP-ID in the Base Mode operation
and MUST NOT be used for other purposes.
6.3. Maintenance Association
The ID of the Maintenance Association (MA-ID) [IEEE802.1Q] has a
flexible format and includes two parts: Maintenance Domain Name and
Short MA name. In the Base Mode of operation, the value of the
Maintenance Domain Name must be the character string
"GenericBaseMode" (excluding the quotes). In the Base Mode
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 42]
^L
RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
operation, the Short MA Name format is set to a 2-octet integer
format (value 3 in Short MA Format field [IEEE802.1Q]) and the Short
MA name is set to 65532 (0xFFFC).
7. Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model Applicability
The "ietf-connection-oriented-oam" module defined in this document
provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs
for connection-oriented protocols. This module can be further
extended to include technology-specific details, e.g., adding new
data nodes with technology-specific functions and parameters into
proper anchor points of the base model, so as to develop a
technology-specific connection-oriented OAM model.
This section demonstrates the usability of the connection-oriented
YANG OAM data model to various connection-oriented OAM technologies,
e.g., TRILL and MPLS-TP. Note that, in this section, we only present
several snippets of technology-specific model extensions for
illustrative purposes. The complete model extensions should be
worked on in respective protocol working groups.
7.1. Generic YANG Data Model Extension for TRILL OAM
The TRILL OAM YANG module [TRILL-YANG-OAM] is augmenting the
connection-oriented OAM module for both configuration and RPC
commands.
In addition,the TRILL OAM YANG module also requires the base TRILL
module ([TRILL-YANG]) to be supported, as there is a strong
relationship between those modules.
The configuration extensions for connection-oriented OAM include the
MD configuration extension, technology type extension, MA
configuration extension, Connectivity-Context extension, MEP
Configuration extension, and ECMP extension. In the RPC extension,
the continuity-check and path-discovery RPC are extended with TRILL-
specific parameters.
7.1.1. MD Configuration Extension
MD level configuration parameters are management information that can
be inherited in the TRILL OAM model and set by the connection-
oriented base model as default values. For example, domain name can
be set to area-ID in the TRILL OAM case. In addition, at the
Maintenance Domain Level (i.e., at root level), the domain data node
can be augmented with technology type.
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 43]
^L
RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
Note that MD level configuration parameters provide context
information for the management system to correlate faults, defects,
and network failures with location information; this helps quickly
identify root causes of network failures.
7.1.1.1. Technology Type Extension
No TRILL technology type has been defined in the connection-oriented
base model. Therefore, a technology type extension is required in
the TRILL OAM model. The technology type "trill" is defined as an
identity that augments the base "technology-types" defined in the
connection-oriented base model:
identity trill{
base co-oam:technology-types;
description
"trill type";
}
7.1.2. MA Configuration Extension
MA level configuration parameters are management information that can
be inherited in the TRILL OAM model and set by the connection-
oriented base model as default values. In addition, at the
Maintenance Association (MA) level (i.e., at the second level), the
MA data node can be augmented with a connectivity-context extension.
Note that MA level configuration parameters provide context
information for the management system to correlate faults, defects,
and network failures with location information; this helps quickly
identify root causes of network failures.
7.1.2.1. Connectivity-Context Extension
In TRILL OAM, one example of connectivity-context is either a 12-bit
VLAN ID or a 24-bit Fine-Grained Label. The connection-oriented base
model defines a placeholder for context-id. This allows other
technologies to easily augment that to include technology-specific
extensions. The snippet below depicts an example of augmenting
connectivity-context to include either a VLAN ID or Fine-Grained
Label.
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain
/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:connectivity-context:
+--:(connectivity-context-vlan)
| +--rw connectivity-context-vlan? vlan
+--:(connectivity-context-fgl)
+--rw connectivity-context-fgl? fgl
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 44]
^L
RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
7.1.3. MEP Configuration Extension
The MEP configuration definition in the connection-oriented base
model already supports configuring the interface of MEP with either a
MAC address or IP address. In addition, the MEP address can be
represented using a 2-octet RBridge Nickname in TRILL OAM. Hence,
the TRILL OAM model augments the MEP configuration in the base model
to add a nickname case to the MEP address choice node as follows:
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain
/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep/co-oam:mep-address:
+--:( mep-address-trill)
| +--rw mep-address-trill? tril-rb-nickname
In addition, at the Maintenance association End Point (MEP) level
(i.e., at the third level), the MEP data node can be augmented with
an ECMP extension.
7.1.3.1. ECMP Extension
Since TRILL supports ECMP path selection, flow-entropy in TRILL is
defined as a 96-octet field in the Layer-Independent OAM Management
in the Multi-Layer Environment (LIME) model extension for TRILL OAM.
The snippet below illustrates its extension.
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain
/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep:
+--rw flow-entropy-trill? flow-entropy-trill
augment /co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain
/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep/co-oam:session:
+--rw flow-entropy-trill? flow-entropy-trill
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 45]

RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
7.1.4. RPC Extension
In the TRILL OAM YANG data model, the continuity-check and path-
discovery RPC commands are extended with TRILL-specific requirements.
The snippet below depicts an example of the TRILL OAM RPC extension.

7.2. Generic YANG Data Model Extension for MPLS-TP OAM
The MPLS-TP OAM YANG module can augment the connection-oriented OAM
module with some technology-specific details. [MPLS-TP-OAM-YANG]
presents the YANG data model for MPLS-TP OAM.
The configuration extensions for connection-oriented OAM include the
MD configuration extension, Technology type extension, Technology
Subtype extension, MA configuration extension, and MEP Configuration
extension.
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 46]
^L
RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
7.2.1. MD Configuration Extension
MD level configuration parameters are management information that can
be inherited in the MPLS-TP OAM model and set by the connection-
oriented OAM base model as default values. For example, domain name
can be set to area-ID or the provider's Autonomous System Number
(ASN) [RFC6370] in the MPLS-TP OAM case. In addition, at the
Maintenance Domain Level (i.e., at root level), the domain data node
can be augmented with technology type and technology subtype.
Note that MD level configuration parameters provide context
information for the management system to correlate faults, defects,
and network failures with location information; this helps quickly
identify root causes of network failures
7.2.1.1. Technology Type Extension
No MPLS-TP technology type has been defined in the connection-
oriented base model, hence it is required in the MPLS-TP OAM model.
The technology type "mpls-tp" is defined as an identity that augments
the base "technology-types" defined in the connection-oriented base
model:
identity mpls-tp{
base co-oam:technology-types;
description
"mpls-tp type";
}
7.2.1.2. Technology Subtype Extension
In MPLS-TP, since different encapsulation types such as IP/UDP
encapsulation and PW-ACH encapsulation can be employed, the
"technology-sub-type" data node is defined and added into the MPLS-TP
OAM model to further identify the encapsulation types within the
MPLS-TP OAM model. Based on it, we also define a technology subtype
for IP/UDP encapsulation and PW-ACH encapsulation. Other
encapsulation types can be defined in the same way. The snippet
below depicts an example of several encapsulation types.
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 47]
^L
RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
identity technology-sub-type {
description
"Certain implementations can have different
encapsulation types such as IP/UDP, PW-ACH, and so on.
Instead of defining separate models for each
encapsulation, we define a technology subtype to
further identify different encapsulations.
Technology subtype is associated at the MA level."; }
identity technology-sub-type-udp {
base technology-sub-type;
description
"Technology subtype is IP/UDP encapsulation.";
}
identity technology-sub-type-ach {
base technology-sub-type;
description
"Technology subtype is PW-ACH encapsulation.";
}
}
augment "/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain"
+ "/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma" {
leaf technology-sub-type {
type identityref {
base technology-sub-type;
}
}
}
7.2.2. MA Configuration Extension
MA level configuration parameters are management information that can
be inherited in the MPLS-TP OAM model and set by the connection-
oriented OAM base model as default values. Examples of MA Name are
MPLS-TP LSP MEG_ID, MEG Section ID, or MEG PW ID [RFC6370].
Note that MA level configuration parameters provide context
information for the management system to correlate faults, defects,
and network failures with location information; this helps quickly
identify root causes of network failures.
7.2.3. MEP Configuration Extension
In MPLS-TP, MEP-ID is either a variable-length label value in case of
G-ACH encapsulation or a 2-octet unsigned integer value in case of
IP/UDP encapsulation. One example of MEP-ID is MPLS-TP LSP_MEP_ID
Kumar, et al. Standards Track [Page 48]
^L
RFC 8531 Connection-Oriented OAM YANG Data Model April 2019
[RFC6370]. In the connection-oriented base model, MEP-ID is defined
as a choice/case node that can support an int32 value, and the same
definition can be used for MPLS-TP with no further modification. In
addition, at the Maintenance association End Point (MEP) level (i.e.,
at the third level), the MEP data node can be augmented with a
session extension and interface extension.
8. 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 [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 the YANG module that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive 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:
/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/
/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma
/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep
/co-oam:domains/co-oam:domain/co-oam:mas/co-oam:ma/co-oam:mep/
co-oam:session
Unauthorized access to any of these lists can adversely affect OAM
management system handling of end-to-end OAM and coordination of OAM
within underlying network layers. This may lead to inconsistent
configuration, reporting, and presentation for the OAM mechanisms
used to manage the network.

Acknowledgments
Giles Heron came up with the idea of developing a YANG data model as
a way of creating a unified OAM API set (interface); this document
was largely inspired by that. Alexander Clemm provided many valuable
tips, comments, and remarks that helped to refine the YANG data model
presented in this document.
