1. Introduction
The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) [RFC5357] is used to
measure network performance parameters such as latency, bandwidth,
and packet loss by sending probe packets and measuring their
experience in the network. To date, TWAMP implementations do not
come with a standard management framework, and, as such, implementers
have no choice except to provide a proprietary mechanism. This
document addresses this gap by defining the model using Unified
Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams [UML] and formally specifying
a TWAMP data model that is compliant with the Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342], using YANG 1.1 [RFC7950].
1.1. Motivation
In current TWAMP deployments, the lack of a standardized data model
limits the flexibility to dynamically instantiate TWAMP-based
measurements across equipment from different vendors. In large,
virtualized, and dynamically instantiated infrastructures where
network functions are placed according to orchestration algorithms,
proprietary mechanisms for managing TWAMP measurements pose severe
limitations with respect to programmability.
Two major trends call for standardizing TWAMP management aspects.
First, it is expected that in the coming years large-scale and multi-
vendor TWAMP deployments will become the norm. From an operations
perspective, using several vendor-specific TWAMP configuration
mechanisms when one standard mechanism could provide an alternative
is expensive and inefficient. Second, the increasingly software-
defined and virtualized nature of network infrastructures, based on
dynamic service chains [NSC] and programmable control and management
planes [RFC7426], requires a well-defined data model for TWAMP
implementations. This document defines such a TWAMP data model and
specifies it formally using the YANG 1.1 data modeling language
[RFC7950].
1.2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
1.3. Document Organization
The rest of this document is organized as follows. Section 2
presents the scope and applicability of this document. Section 3
provides a high-level overview of the TWAMP data model. Section 4
details the configuration parameters of the data model, and Section 5
specifies in YANG the TWAMP data model. Section 6 lists illustrative
examples that conform to the YANG data model specified in this
document. Appendix A elaborates these examples further.
2. Scope, Model, and Applicability
The purpose of this document is the specification of a vendor-
independent data model for TWAMP implementations.
Figure 1 illustrates a redrawn version of the TWAMP logical model
found in Section 1.2 of TWAMP [RFC5357]. The figure is annotated
with pointers to the UML diagrams [UML] provided in this document and
associated with the data model of the four logical entities in a
TWAMP deployment, namely the TWAMP Control-Client, Server, Session-
Sender, and Session-Reflector. A UML Notation Guide is available in
Section 5 of UML [UML].
As per TWAMP [RFC5357], unlabeled links in Figure 1 are left
unspecified and may be proprietary protocols.

Figure 1: Annotated TWAMP Logical Model
As per TWAMP [RFC5357], a TWAMP implementation may follow a
simplified logical model, in which the same node acts as both
Control-Client and Session-Sender, while another node acts at the
same time as both TWAMP Server and Session-Reflector. Figure 2
illustrates this simplified logical model and indicates the
interaction between the TWAMP configuration client and server using,
for instance, NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].

+-------------------+ +-------------------+
Figure 2: Simplified TWAMP Model and Protocols
The data model defined in this document is orthogonal to the specific
protocol used between the Config client and Config server to
communicate the TWAMP configuration parameters.
Operational actions such as how TWAMP-Test sessions are started and
stopped, how performance measurement results are retrieved, or how
stored results are cleared, and so on, are not addressed by the
configuration model defined in this document. As noted above, such
operational actions are not part of the TWAMP specification [RFC5357]
and hence are out of scope for this document. See also Appendix B.
In addition, for operational state, the information provided in the
Performance Metrics Registry [RFC8911] and [PERF-METRICS] can be used
to develop an independent model for the Performance Metrics that need
to be captured and retrieved.
3. Data Model Overview
The TWAMP data model includes four categories of configuration items.
First, global configuration items relate to parameters that are set
on a per-device level. For example, the administrative status of the
device with respect to whether it allows TWAMP sessions and, if so,
in what capacity (e.g., Control-Client, Server, or both) is a typical
instance of a global configuration item.
A second category includes attributes that can be configured on a
per-TWAMP-Control-connection basis, such as the Server IP address.
A third category includes attributes related to per-TWAMP-Test-
session attributes -- for instance, setting different values in the
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field.
Finally, the data model includes attributes that relate to the
operational state of the TWAMP implementation.
As the TWAMP data model is described in the remaining sections of
this document, readers should keep in mind the functional entity
grouping illustrated in Figure 1.
3.1. Control-Client
A TWAMP Control-Client has an administrative status field set at the
device level that indicates whether the node is enabled to function
as such.
Each TWAMP Control-Client is associated with zero or more
TWAMP-Control connections. The main configuration parameters of each
control connection are:
* A name that can be used to uniquely identify at the Control-Client
a particular control connection. This name is necessary for
programmability reasons because at the time of creation of a
TWAMP-Control connection not all IP and TCP port number
information needed to uniquely identify the connection is
available.
* The IP address of the interface the Control-Client will use for
connections.
* The IP address of the remote TWAMP Server.
* Authentication and encryption attributes such as KeyID, Token, and
the Control-Client Initialization Vector (Client-IV); see also
Section 3.1 of "A One-way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP)"
[RFC4656] and "Randomness Requirements for Security" [RFC4086].
Each TWAMP-Control connection, in turn, is associated with zero or
more TWAMP-Test sessions. For each test session, the following
configuration items should be noted:
* The test session name, which uniquely identifies a particular test
session at the Control-Client and Session-Sender. Similar to the
control connections mentioned above, this unique test session name
is needed because at the time of creation of a TWAMP-Test session,
for example, the source UDP port number is not known to uniquely
identify the test session.
* The IP address and UDP port number of the Session-Sender on the
path under test by TWAMP.
* The IP address and UDP port number of the Session-Reflector on
said path.
* Information pertaining to the test packet stream, such as the test
starting time; which Performance Metric is to be used, as defined
in "Registry for Performance Metrics" [RFC8911]; or whether the
test should be repeated.
3.2. Server
Each TWAMP Server has an administrative status field set at the
device level to indicate whether the node is enabled to function as a
TWAMP Server.
Each Server is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Control
connections. Each control connection is uniquely identified by the
4-tuple {Control-Client IP address, Control-Client TCP port number,
Server IP address, Server TCP port}. Control connection
configuration items on a TWAMP Server are read-only.
3.3. Session-Sender
A TWAMP Session-Sender has an administrative status field set at the
device level that indicates whether the node is enabled to function
as such.
There is one Session-Sender instance for each TWAMP-Test session that
is initiated from the sending device. Primary configuration fields
include:
* The test session name, which MUST be identical to the
corresponding test session name on the TWAMP Control-Client
(Section 3.1).
* The control connection name, which, along with the test session
name, uniquely identifies the TWAMP Session-Sender instance.
* Information pertaining to the test packet stream, such as the
number of test packets and the packet distribution to be employed;
see also "Network performance measurement with periodic streams"
[RFC3432].
3.4. Session-Reflector
Each TWAMP Session-Reflector has an administrative status field set
at the device level to indicate whether the node is enabled to
function as such.
Each Session-Reflector is associated with zero or more TWAMP-Test
sessions. For each test session, the REFWAIT timeout parameter,
which determines whether to discontinue the session if no packets
have been received (TWAMP [RFC5357], Section 4.2), can be configured.
Read-only access to other data model parameters, such as the Sender
IP address, is foreseen. Each test session can be uniquely
identified by the 4-tuple mentioned in Section 3.2.
4. Data Model Parameters
This section defines the TWAMP data model using UML [UML] and
introduces selected parameters associated with the four TWAMP logical
entities. The complete TWAMP data model specification is provided in
the YANG module presented in Section 5.2.
4.1. Control-Client
The client container (see Figure 3) holds items that are related to
the configuration of the TWAMP Control-Client logical entity (recall
Figure 1).
The client container includes an administrative configuration
parameter (client/admin-state) that indicates whether the device is
allowed to initiate TWAMP-Control connections.

Figure 3: TWAMP Control-Client UML Class Diagram
The client container holds a list (mode-preference-chain) that
specifies the mode values according to their preferred order of use
by the operator of this Control-Client, including the authentication
and encryption modes. Specifically, mode-preference-chain lists the
mode and its corresponding priority, expressed as a 16-bit unsigned
integer. Values for the priority start with zero, the highest
priority, and decreasing priority value is indicated by every
increase in value by one.
Depending on the modes available in the Server Greeting, the Control-
Client MUST choose the highest-priority mode from the configured
mode-preference-chain list.
Note that the list of preferred modes may set multiple bit positions
independently, such as when referring to the extended TWAMP features
in "Mixed Security Mode for the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol
(TWAMP)" [RFC5618], "Individual Session Control Feature for the
Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)" [RFC5938], "Two-Way
Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) Reflect Octets and Symmetrical
Size Features" [RFC6038], and "IKEv2-Derived Shared Secret Key for
the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and Two-Way Active
Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)" [RFC7717]. If the Control-Client
cannot determine an acceptable mode, or when the bit combinations do
not make sense, e.g., authenticated and unauthenticated bits are both
set, it MUST respond with zero Mode bits set in the Set-Up-Response
message, indicating that it will not continue with the control
connection.
In addition, the client container holds a list named "key-chain",
which relates key-id with the respective secret-key. Both the Server
and the Control-Client use the same mappings from key-id to
secret-key (in Figure 3); in order for this to work properly, key-id
must be unique across all systems in the administrative domain. The
Server, being prepared to conduct sessions with more than one
Control-Client, uses key-id to choose the appropriate secret-key; a
Control-Client would typically have different secret keys for
different Servers. The secret-key is the shared secret, of type
"binary", and the length SHOULD contain at least 128 bits of entropy.
The key-id and secret-key encoding SHOULD follow Section 9.8 of YANG
[RFC7950]. The derived key length (dkLen as defined in "PKCS #5:
Password-Based Cryptography Specification Version 2.1" [RFC8018])
MUST be 16 octets for the AES Session-key used for encryption and
32 octets for the HMAC-SHA1 Session-key used for authentication; see
also Section 6.10 of OWAMP [RFC4656].
Each client container also holds a list of control connections, where
each item in the list describes a TWAMP-Control connection initiated
by this Control-Client. There SHALL be one ctrl-connection per
TWAMP-Control (TCP) connection that is to be initiated from this
device.
In turn, each ctrl-connection holds a test-session-request list.
Each test-session-request holds information associated with the
Control-Client for this test session. This includes information
associated with the Request-TW-Session/Accept-Session message
exchange (see Section 3.5 of TWAMP [RFC5357]).
There SHALL be one instance of test-session-request for each
TWAMP-Test session that is to be negotiated by this TWAMP-Control
connection via a Request-TW-Session/Accept-Session exchange.
The Control-Client is also responsible for scheduling TWAMP-Test
sessions; therefore, test-session-request holds information related
to these actions (e.g., pm-index, repeat-interval).
4.2. Server
The server container (see Figure 4) holds items that are related to
the configuration of the TWAMP Server logical entity (recall
Figure 1).
The server container includes an administrative configuration
parameter (server/admin-state) that indicates whether the device is
allowed to receive TWAMP-Control connections.
A device operating in the Server Role cannot configure attributes on
a per-TWAMP-Control-connection basis, as it has no foreknowledge of
the incoming TWAMP-Control connections to be received. Consequently,
any parameter that the Server might want to apply to an incoming
control connection must be configured at the overall Server level and
applied to all incoming TWAMP-Control connections.

Figure 4: TWAMP Server UML Class Diagram
Each server container holds a list named "key-chain", which relates
key-id with the respective secret-key. As mentioned in Section 4.1,
both the Server and the Control-Client use the same mapping from
key-id to the shared secret-key; in order for this to work properly,
key-id must be unique across all the systems in the administrative
domain. The Server, being prepared to conduct sessions with more
than one Control-Client, uses key-id to choose the appropriate
secret-key; a Control-Client would typically have different secret
keys for different Servers. key-id tells the Server which shared
secret-key the Control-Client wishes to use for authentication or
encryption.
Each incoming control connection active on the Server is represented
by a ctrl-connection. There SHALL be one ctrl-connection per
incoming TWAMP-Control (TCP) connection that is received and active
on the Server. Each ctrl-connection can be uniquely identified by
the 4-tuple {client-ip, client-tcp-port, server-ip, server-tcp-
port}. All items in the ctrl-connection list are read-only.
4.3. Session-Sender
The session-sender container, illustrated in Figure 5, holds items
that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Session-Sender
logical entity.
The session-sender container includes an administrative parameter
(session-sender/admin-state) that controls whether the device is
allowed to initiate TWAMP-Test sessions.

Figure 5: TWAMP Session-Sender UML Class Diagram
Each TWAMP-Test session initiated by the Session-Sender will be
represented by an instance of a test-session object. There SHALL be
one instance of test-session for each TWAMP-Test session for which
packets are being sent.
4.4. Session-Reflector
The session-reflector container, illustrated in Figure 6, holds items
that are related to the configuration of the TWAMP Session-Reflector
logical entity.
The session-reflector container includes an administrative parameter
(session-reflector/admin-state) that controls whether the device is
allowed to respond to incoming TWAMP-Test sessions.
A device operating in the Session-Reflector Role cannot configure
attributes on a per-session basis, as it has no foreknowledge of what
incoming sessions it will receive. As such, any parameter that the
Session-Reflector might want to apply to an incoming TWAMP-Test
session must be configured at the overall Session-Reflector level and
applied to all incoming sessions.

+----------------------------------------+
Figure 6: TWAMP Session-Reflector UML Class Diagram
Each incoming TWAMP-Test session that is active on the Session-
Reflector SHALL be represented by an instance of a test-session
object. All items in the test-session object are read-only.
Instances of test-session are indexed by a Session Identifier (SID)
(the sid parameter). This SID value is auto-allocated by the TWAMP
Server as test session requests are received and is communicated back
to the Control-Client in the SID field of the Accept-Session message;
see Section 4.3 of "Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)
Reflect Octets and Symmetrical Size Features" [RFC6038].
When attempting to retrieve operational data for active test sessions
from a Session-Reflector device, the user will not know what sessions
are currently active on that device or what SIDs have been
auto-allocated for these test sessions. If the user has network
access to the Control-Client device, then it is possible to read the
data for this session under client/ctrl-connection/test-session-
request/sid and obtain the SID (see Figure 3). The user may then use
this SID value as an index to retrieve an individual session-
reflector/test-session instance on the Session-Reflector device.
If the user has no network access to the Control-Client device, then
the only option is to retrieve all test-session instances from the
Session-Reflector device and then pick out specific test-session
instances of interest to the user. This could be problematic if a
large number of test sessions are currently active on that device.
Each Session-Reflector TWAMP-Test session contains the following
4-tuple: {parent-connection-client-ip, parent-connection-client-tcp-
port, parent-connection-server-ip, parent-connection-server-tcp-
port}. This 4-tuple MUST correspond to the equivalent 4-tuple
{client-ip, client-tcp-port, server-ip, server-tcp-port} in
server/ctrl-connection. This 4-tuple allows the user to trace back
from the TWAMP-Test session to the (parent) TWAMP-Control connection
that negotiated this test session.
5. Data Model
This section formally specifies the TWAMP data model using YANG.
5.1. YANG Tree Diagram
This section presents a simplified graphical representation of the
TWAMP data model using a YANG tree diagram. Readers should keep in
mind that the limit of 72 characters per line forces us to introduce
artificial line breaks in some tree diagram nodes. Tree diagrams
used in this document follow the notation defined in "YANG Tree
Diagrams" [RFC8340].
Please note that the backslash ('\') character near the end of the
diagram is used for formatting purposes only (i.e.,
"reflector-udp-port]" should be treated as part of the same line as
"[sender-ip sender-udp-port reflector-ip").

"This parameter limits the maximum Count value, which MUST
be a power of 2 and at least 1024 as per RFC 5357. It is
configured by providing said power. For example,
configuring 10 here means max count 2^10 = 1024.
The default is 20, meaning 2^20 = 1048576.
A TWAMP Server uses this configured value in the
Server Greeting message sent to the Control-Client.
A TWAMP Control-Client uses this configured value to
prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by closing the
control connection to the Server if it 'receives a
Server-Greeting message with Count greater that [sic] its
maximum configured value', as per Section 6 of RFC 5357.
Further, note that according to Section 6 of RFC 5357:
'If an attacking system set the maximum value in Count
(2**32), then the system under attack would stall for a
significant period of time while it attempts to generate
keys. Therefore, TWAMP-compliant systems SHOULD have a
configuration control to limit the maximum Count value.
The default maximum Count value SHOULD be 32768.'
In the case of this document, the default max-count-exponent
value SHOULD be 15, which corresponds to a maximum value of
2**15 or 32768.
RFC 5357 does not qualify 'significant period' in terms of
time, but it is clear that this depends on the processing
capacity available, and operators need to pay attention to
this security consideration.";

6. Data Model Examples
This section presents simple but complete examples of configuring all
four entities in Figure 1, based on the YANG module specified in
Section 5. The examples are illustrative in nature but aim to be
self-contained, i.e., were they to be executed in a real TWAMP
implementation, they would lead to correctly configured test
sessions. For completeness, examples are provided for both IPv4 and
IPv6. The examples are shown using XML [W3C.REC-xml-20081126].
More elaborate examples, which also include authentication
parameters, are provided in Appendix A.
6.1. Control-Client
Figure 8 shows a configuration example for a Control-Client with
client/admin-state enabled. In a real implementation following
Figure 2, this would permit the initiation of TWAMP-Control
connections and TWAMP-Test sessions.

Figure 8: XML Instance Enabling Control-Client Operation
The following example shows a Control-Client with two instances of
client/ctrl-connection -- one called "RouterA" and another called
"RouterB". Each TWAMP-Control connection is to a different Server.
The control connection named "RouterA" has two test session requests.
The TWAMP-Control connection named "RouterB" has no TWAMP-Test
session requests.

7. Security Considerations
Virtually all existing measurement systems using TWAMP [RFC5357] are
administered by the same network operator. For example, attacks on
the measurement infrastructure could be launched by third parties to
commandeer the packet generation capability, corrupt the
measurements, or perform other nefarious acts.
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 are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
* If written, the 'admin-state' node can cause unintended test
sessions to be created.
* If the node 'number-of-packets', which dictates how many packets
are sent in any particular test session, is written with a large
value, it can cause a test session to run longer than expected.
* Nodes that are particularly vulnerable include several timeout
values put in the protocol to protect against sessions that are
not active but are consuming resources. These are the REFWAIT
timeout parameter, which determines whether to discontinue the
session if no packets are received; and the nodes 'count' and
'max-count-exponent', which can cause a long time to be spent on
Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) iterations.
* In addition, a 'dscp' node marked with different DSCP markings can
cause the test traffic on the network to be skewed and the result
manipulated.
* Finally, nodes within 'mode-preference-chain', which specifies the
'mode' and 'priority' values and indicates the preferred order of
use by an operator, can be manipulated to send unauthenticated or
non-encrypted traffic, enabling an on-path attack.
* Limiting access to these nodes will limit the ability to launch an
attack in network environments.
Some of the readable data 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. This is the subtree and data node
and its sensitivity/vulnerability:
* The 'token' node defined in the model, containing a concatenation
of a Challenge, an AES Session-key used for encryption, and an
HMAC-SHA1 Session-key used for authentication, is sensitive from a
privacy perspective and can be used to disrupt a test session.
The ability to read the field should be limited to the
administrator of the test network.
The TWAMP YANG data model does not define RPC operations, as detailed
in Appendix B, and defers the definition of NETCONF RPC operations to
each implementation. These RPC operations, when defined, may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It
is thus important to control access to these operations.

Appendix B. TWAMP Operational Commands
TWAMP operational commands could be performed programmatically or
manually, e.g., using a command-line interface (CLI).
With respect to programmability, YANG can be used to define NETCONF
Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs); therefore, it would be, in principle,
possible to define TWAMP RPC operations for actions such as starting
or stopping control connections, test sessions, or groups of
sessions; retrieving results; clearing stored results; and so on.
However, TWAMP [RFC5357] does not attempt to describe such
operational actions. Refer also to Section 2 and the unlabeled links
in Figure 1. In actual deployments, different TWAMP implementations
may support different sets of operational commands, with different
restrictions. Therefore, this document considers it the
responsibility of the individual implementation to define its
corresponding data model for TWAMP operational commands.
