A YANG Data Model for MPLS Base
Abstract
This document contains a specification of the MPLS base YANG data
model. The MPLS base YANG data model serves as a base framework for
configuring and managing an MPLS switching subsystem on an MPLS-
enabled router. It is expected that other MPLS YANG data models
(e.g., MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) static, LDP, or RSVP-TE YANG
data models) will augment the MPLS base YANG data model.

1. Introduction
A core routing YANG data model is defined in [RFC8349]; it provides a
basis for the development of routing data models for specific Address
Families (AFs). Specifically, [RFC8349] defines a model for a
generic Routing Information Base (RIB) that is AF agnostic.
[RFC8349] also defines two instances of RIBs based on the generic RIB
model for IPv4 and IPv6 AFs.
The MPLS base model defined in this document augments the generic RIB
model defined in [RFC8349] with additional data that enables MPLS
forwarding for one or more specific destination prefixes present in
one or more AF RIBs, as described in the MPLS architecture document
[RFC3031].
The MPLS base model also defines a new instance of the generic RIB
YANG data model as defined in [RFC8349] to store native MPLS routes.
The native MPLS RIB instance stores one or more routes that are not
associated with other AF instance RIBs (such as IPv4 or IPv6 instance
RIBs) but are enabled for MPLS forwarding. Examples of such native
MPLS routes are routes programmed by RSVP on one or more transit MPLS
routers along the path of a Label Switched Path (LSP). Other
examples are MPLS routes that cross-connect to specific Layer 2
adjacencies, such as Layer 2 Attachment Circuits (ACs); or Layer 3
adjacencies, such as Segment Routing (SR) Adjacency Segments (Adj-
SIDs) as described in [RFC8402].
The MPLS base YANG data model serves as a basis for future
development of MPLS YANG data models covering MPLS features and
subsystems that are more sophisticated. The main purpose is to
provide essential building blocks for other YANG data models
involving different control-plane protocols and MPLS functions.
To this end, it is expected that the MPLS base data model will be
augmented by a number of other YANG modules developed by the IETF
(e.g., by the TEAS and MPLS Working Groups).
The YANG module defined in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

2. MPLS Base Model
This document describes the "ietf-mpls" YANG module, which provides
base components of the MPLS data model. It is expected that other
MPLS YANG modules will augment the "ietf-mpls" YANG module for other
MPLS extensions to provision LSPs (e.g., MPLS static, MPLS LDP, or
MPLS RSVP-TE LSPs).
2.1. Model Overview
This document models MPLS-labeled routes as an augmentation of the
generic routing RIB data model as defined in [RFC8349]. For example,
IP prefix routes (e.g., routes stored in IPv4 or IPv6 RIBs) are
augmented to carry additional data to enable them for MPLS
forwarding.
This document also defines a new instance of the generic RIB model
defined in [RFC8349] to store one or more native MPLS routes
(described further in Section 2.3) by extending the identity
"address-family" defined in [RFC8349] with a new "mpls" identity; see
Section 3 of [RFC8349].

Figure 1: Relationship between MPLS Modules
The "ietf-mpls" YANG module defines the following identities:
mpls:
Identity that extends the "address-family" identity of RIB
instances, as defined in [RFC8349], to represent the native MPLS
RIB instance.
label-block-alloc-mode:
A base YANG identity for one or more supported label-block
allocation modes.
The "ietf-mpls" YANG module contains the following high-level types
and groupings:
mpls-operations-type:
An enumeration type that represents support for possible MPLS
operation types (impose-and-forward, pop-and-forward, pop-impose-
and-forward, and pop-and-lookup).
nhlfe-role:
An enumeration type that represents the role of the Next Hop Label
Forwarding Entry (NHLFE).
nhlfe-single-contents:
A YANG grouping that describes a single NHLFE and its associated
parameters as described in the MPLS architecture document
[RFC3031]. This grouping is specific to the case when a single
next hop is associated with the route.
The NHLFE is used when forwarding a labeled packet. It contains the
following information:
1. The packet's next hop. For "nhlfe-single-contents", only a
single next hop is expected, while for "nhlfe-multiple-contents",
multiple next hops are possible.
2. The operation to perform on the packet's label stack. This can
be one of the following operations:
a. Replace the label at the top of the label stack with one or
more specified new labels.
b. Pop the label stack.
c. Replace the label at the top of the label stack with a
specified new label, and then push one or more specified new
labels onto the label stack.
d. Push one or more labels onto an unlabeled packet.
The NHLFE may also contain:
1. The data-link encapsulation to use when transmitting the packet.
2. The way to encode the label stack when transmitting the packet.
3. Any other information needed in order to properly dispose of the
packet.
nhlfe-multiple-contents:
A YANG grouping that describes a set of NHLFEs and their
associated parameters as described in the MPLS architecture
document [RFC3031]. This grouping is used when multiple next hops
are associated with the route.
interfaces-mpls:
A YANG grouping that describes the list of MPLS-enabled interfaces
on a device.
label-blocks:
A YANG grouping that describes the list of assigned MPLS label
blocks and their properties.
rib-mpls-properties:
A YANG grouping for the augmentation of the generic RIB with MPLS
label forwarding data as defined in [RFC3031].
rib-active-route-mpls-input:
A YANG grouping for the augmentation to the "active-route" RPC
that is specific to the MPLS RIB instance.
2.3. Model Design
The MPLS routing model is based on the core routing data model
defined in [RFC8349]. Figure 2 shows the extensions introduced by
the MPLS base model on defined RIBs.

+---------+ +---------+ +--------+ +-----------+
+: created by the MPLS base model
o: augmented by the MPLS base model
Figure 2: Relationship between MPLS Model and RIB Instances
As shown in Figure 2, the MPLS base YANG data model augments defined
instances of AF RIBs with additional data that enables MPLS
forwarding for destination prefixes stored in such RIBs. For
example, an IPv4 prefix stored in RIB(v4) is augmented to carry an
MPLS local label and one or more per-next-hop remote labels to enable
MPLS forwarding for such a prefix.
The MPLS base model also creates a separate instance of the generic
RIB model defined in [RFC8349] to store one or more MPLS native
routes that are enabled for MPLS forwarding but are not stored in one
or more other AF RIBs.
Some examples of such native MPLS routes are:
* Routes programmed by RSVP on Label Switching Routers (LSRs) along
the path of an LSP,
* Routes that cross-connect an MPLS local label to a Layer 2 or
Layer 3 Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) entity,
* Routes that cross-connect an MPLS local label to a specific Layer
2 adjacency or interface, such as Layer 2 Attachment Circuits
(ACs), or
* Routes that cross-connect an MPLS local label to a Layer 3
adjacency or interface, such as MPLS Segment Routing (SR)
Adjacency Segments (Adj-SIDs) or SR MPLS Binding SIDs as defined
in [RFC8402].

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].
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:
"/rt:routing/mpls:mpls/mpls:label-blocks":
There are data nodes under this path that are writable, such as
"start-label" and "end-label". Write operations to those data
nodes may result in disruption to existing traffic.
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. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
"/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rt:next-hop/
rt:next-hop-options/rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop"
and "/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:active-
route/rt:output/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/
rt:simple-next-hop":
These two paths are augmented by additional MPLS leafs defined in
this model. Access to this information may disclose the next-hop
information for the prefix route and/or other information.
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
"/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:active-route/rt:input" and
"/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:active-route/rt:output/rt:route":
These two paths are augmented by additional MPLS data nodes that
are defined in this model. Access to those paths may disclose
information about per-prefix routes and/or other information; such
disclosure may be used for further attacks.
The security considerations spelled out in [RFC3031] and [RFC3032]
apply for this document as well.

Appendix A. Data Tree Instance Example
A simple network setup is shown in Figure 5. R1 runs the IS-IS
routing protocol and learns about the reachability of two IPv4
prefixes (P1: 198.51.100.1/32 and P2: 198.51.100.2/32) and two IPv6
prefixes (P3: 2001:db8:0:10::1/128 and P4: 2001:db8:0:10::2/128). We
also assume that R1 learns about local and remote MPLS label bindings
for each prefix using IS-IS (e.g., using Segment Routing (SR)
extensions).
State on R1:
============
IPv4 Prefix MPLS Label
P1: 198.51.100.1/32 16001

P3: 2001:db8:0:10::1/128 16003
P4: 2001:db8:0:10::2/128 16004
