OPS Area OPSAWG Working Group RFC Request for Comments Internet-Draft VPN Performance Measurement Telemetry The data model for network topologies defined in RFC 8345 introduces vertical layering relationships between networks that can be augmented to cover network and service topologies. This document defines a YANG module for performance monitoring (PM) of both underlay networks and overlay VPN services that can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology of both layers.

describes a framework for automating service and network management with YANG models. It defines that the performance measurement telemetry model should be tied to the services (such as a Layer 3 VPN or Layer 2 VPN) or to the network models to monitor the overall network performance and the Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The performance of VPN services is associated with the performance changes of the underlay network that carries VPN services, such as the delay of the underlay tunnels and the packet loss status of the device interfaces. Additionally, the integration of Layer 2/Layer 3 VPN performance and network performance data enables the orchestrator to subscribe to VPN service performance in a unified manner. Therefore, this document defines a YANG module for both network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM). The module can be used to monitor and manage network performance on the topology level or the service topology between VPN sites, in particular. This document does not introduce new metrics for network performance or mechanisms for measuring network performance, but uses the existing mechanisms and statistics to monitor the performance of the network and the services. All these metrics are defined as unidirectional metrics. The YANG module defined in this document is designed as an augmentation to the network topology YANG model defined in and draws on relevant YANG types defined in , , , and . provides a set of examples to illustrate the use of the module.

The following terms are defined in and are used in this specification: augment data model data node The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in . The tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in .

The following acronyms are used in the document: Layer 2 Virtual Private Network Layer 3 Virtual Private Network L2VPN Network Model L3VPN Network Model Multiprotocol Label Switching Operations, Administration, and Maintenance One-Way Active Measurement Protocol Provider Edge Performance Monitoring Service Level Agreement Termination Point, as defined in section 4.2 Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol Virtual Private LAN Service Virtual Private Network

Models are key for automating network management operations. According to , together with service and network models, performance measurement telemetry models are needed to monitor network performance to meet specific service requirements (typically captured in an SLA).

As shown in , in the context of the layered model architecture described in , the network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM) model can be used to expose operational performance information to the layer above, e.g., to an orchestrator or other client application, via standard network management APIs. Before using the model, the controller needs to establish complete topology visibility of the network and VPN. For example, the controller can use network information from , or VPN information from , . Then the controller derives network or VPN level performance data by aggregating (and filtering) lower-level data collected via monitoring counters of the involved devices. The network or VPN performance data can be based on different sources. For example, the performance monitoring data per link in the underlying network can be collected using a network performance measurement method such as One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) , Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) , Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol(STAMP) , and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Loss and Delay Measurement . The performance monitoring information reflecting the quality of the network or VPN service (e.g., end-to-end network performance data between source node and destination node in the network or between VPN sites) can be computed and aggregated, for example, using the information from the Traffic Engineering Database (TED), or LMAP (Large-Scale Measurement Platform) . The measurement and report intervals that are associated with these performance data usually depend on the configuration of the specific measurement method or collection method or various combinations. This document defines a network-wide measurement interval to align measurement requirements for networks or VPN services.

Some applications such as service-assurance applications, which must maintain a continuous view of operational data and state, can use the subscription model specified in to subscribe to the specific network performance data or VPN service performance data they are interested in, at the data source. For example, network or VPN topology updates may be obtained through on-change notifications . For dynamic PM data, e.g. VRF routes or MAC entries, link metrics, and interface metrics, various notifications can be specified to obtain more complete data. A periodic notification can be specified to obtain real-time performance data. For devices/controllers that maintain historical performance data for a period of time, a replay notification or can be used to obtain the historical data. And alarm notifications can be specified to get alarms for the metrics which exceed or fall below the performance threshold. The data source can, then, use the network and VPN service performance monitoring model defined in this document and the YANG Push model to distribute specific telemetry data to target recipients.

To obtain a snapshot of a large amount of performance data from a network topology or VPN network, service-assurance applications may retrieve information using the network and VPN service PM model through a NETCONF or a RESTCONF interface. For example, a specified "link-id" of a VPN can be used as a filter in a RESTCONF GET request to retrieve per-link VPN PM data.

This document defines the YANG module, "ietf-network-vpn-pm", which is an augmentation to the "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" modules. The performance monitoring data augments the service topology as shown in .

defines a YANG data model for network/service topologies and inventories. The service topology described in includes the virtual topology for a service layer above Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3). This service topology has the generic topology elements of node, link, and terminating point. One typical example of a service topology is described in Figure 3 of : two VPN service topologies instantiated over a common L3 topology. Each VPN service topology is mapped onto a subset of nodes from the common L3 topology. illustrates an example of a topology that maps between the VPN service topology and an underlying network:

As shown in , two VPN services topologies are built on top of one common underlying physical network: This service topology supports hub-spoke communications for 'customer 1' connecting the customer's access at three sites: 'Site-1A', 'Site-1B', and 'Site-1C'. These sites are connected to nodes that are mapped to node 1 (N1), node 2 (N2), and node 4 (N4) in the underlying physical network. 'Site-1A' plays the role of hub while 'Site-1B' and 'Site-1C' are configured as spoke. This service supports any-to-any communications for 'customer 2' connecting the customer's access at two sites: 'Site-2A' and 'Site-2B'. These sites are connected to nodes that are mapped to nodes 1 (N1) and node 3 (N3) in the underlying physical network. 'Site-2A' and 'Site-2B' have 'any-to-any' role. Apart from the association between the VPN topology and the underlay topology, VPN Network PM YANG module can also provide the performance status of the underlay network and VPN services. For example, the module can provide link PM statistics and port statistics of an underlay network. And it can also provide VPN PM statistics, which can be further split into PM for the VPN tunnel and PM at the VPN PE access node, as illustrated in the following diagram.

illustrates an example of VPN PM and two VPN PM measurement methods including the VPN tunnel PM and the inter-VPN-access interface PM. VPN PM can also provide statistics on VPN access interfaces, the number of current VRF routes or L2VPN MAC entry of VPN node.

The model can be used for performance monitoring both for the underlay network and the VPN services. The two would be separate entries in the network list . The differences are as follows: When the “service” presence container is absent, then it indicates performance monitoring of the network itself. When the “service” presence container is present, then it indicates performance monitoring of the VPN service specified by the “service-type” leaf, e.g. , L3VPN or Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). The values are taken from . When a network topology instance contains the L3VPN or other L2VPN network type, it represents a VPN instance that can perform performance monitoring The tree in is a part of "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree. It also defines the following set of network level attributes: Refers to an identifier of VPN service defined in . This identifier is used to correlate the performance status with the network service configuration. Indicates the type of the VPN topology. This model supports "any-to-any", "Hub and Spoke" (where Hubs can exchange traffic), and "Hub and Spoke disjoint" (where Hubs cannot exchange traffic) that are taken from . These VPN topology types can be used to describe how VPN sites communicate with each other.

The tree in is the node part of "ietf-network-vpn-pm" tree. For network performance monitoring, the module defines the following attributes: Indicates the device type of Provider Edge (PE), Provider (P) device, or Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) as defined in and , so that the performance metric between any two nodes each with specific node type can be reported. Lists a set of IPv4 statistics, IPv6 statistics, and MAC statistics. The detailed statistics are specified separately. For VPN service performance monitoring, the module defines one attribute: Defines the role in a particular VPN service topology. The roles are taken from (e.g., any-to-any-role, spoke-role, hub-role).

The tree in is the link and termination point (TP) part of ietf-network-vpn-pm tree. The 'links' are classified into two types: topology link defined in and abstract link of a VPN between PEs defined in this module. The performance data of a link is a collection of counters and gauges that report the performance status.

For the data nodes of 'link' depicted in , the YANG module defines the following minimal set of link-level performance attributes: The module supports reporting delay and jitter metric by percentile values. By default, low percentile (10th percentile), intermediate percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile) are used. Setting a percentile to 0.00 indicates the client is not interested in receiving particular percentile. If all percentile nodes are set to 0.00, this represents that no percentile related nodes will be reported for a given performance metric (e.g., one-way delay, one-way delay variation) and only peak/min values will be reported. For example, a client can inform the server that it is interested in receiving only high percentiles. Then for a given link, at a given "start-time", "end-time" and “measurement-interval", the 'high-delay-percentile' and 'high-jitter-percentile' will be reported. An example to illustrate the use of percentiles is provided in . Specifies the performance measurement interval, in seconds. Indicates the start time of the performance measurement for link statistics. Indicates the end time of the performance measurement for link statistics. Indicates the performance monitoring source. The data for the topology link can be based, e.g., on BGP-LS . The statistics of the VPN abstract links can be collected based upon VPN OAM mechanisms, e.g., OAM mechanisms referenced in , or Ethernet service OAM referenced in . Alternatively, the data can be based upon the underlay technology OAM mechanisms, for example, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel OAM. A set of one-way loss statistics attributes that are used to measure end to end loss between VPN sites or between any two network nodes. The exact loss value or the loss percentage can be reported. A set of one-way delay statistics attributes that are used to measure end to end latency between VPN sites or between any two network nodes. The peak/min values or percentile values can be reported. A set of one-way IP Packet Delay Variation statistics attributes that are used to measure end to end jitter between VPN sites or between any two network nodes. The peak/min values or percentile values can be reported. Lists performance measurement statistics for the topology link or the abstract underlay link between VPN PEs with given "class-id" names. The list is defined separately from "one-way-pm-statistics", which is used to collect generic metrics for unspecified "class-id" names. Indicates the VPN performance type, which can be inter-vpn-access-interface PM or VPN underlay-tunnel PM. These two methods are common VPN measurement methods. The inter-VPN-access-interface PM is to monitor the performance of logical point-to-point VPN connections between a source and a destination VPN access interfaces. And the underlay-tunnel PM is to monitor the performance of underlay tunnels of VPNs. The inter-VPN-access-interface PM includes PE-PE monitoring. Therefore, usually only one of the two methods is used. The inter-VPN-access-interface PM is defined as an empty leaf, which is not bound to a specific VPN access interface. The source or destination VPN access interface of the measurement can be augmented as needed. Indicates the abstract link protocol-type of a VPN, such as GRE or IP-in-IP. The leaf refers to an identifier of the "underlay-transport" defined in , which describes the transport technology to carry the traffic of the VPN service. In the case of multiple types of tunnels between a single pair of VPN nodes, a separate link for each type of tunnel can be created. For the data nodes of 'termination-point' depicted in , the module defines the following minimal set of statistics: Indicates the timestamp when the counters were last updated. A set of inbound statistics attributes that are used to measure the inbound statistics of the termination point, such as received packets, received packets with errors, etc. A set of outbound statistics attributes that are used to measure the outbound statistics of the termination point, such as sent packets, packets that could not be sent due to errors, etc. Lists counters of the VPN network access defined in or . When multiple VPN network accesses are created using the same physical port, finer-grained metrics can be monitored. If a TP is associated with only a single VPN, this list is not required.

The "ietf-network-vpn-pm" module uses types defined in , , , and .

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 or RESTCONF . The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) . The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS . The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) 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: "/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:network-types": This subtree specifies the VPN service type, VPN identifier and VPN service topology. Unauthorized access to this subtree may disable the VPN PM or render the VPN service type, VPN identifier, or VPN service topology invalid. “/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node”: This subtree specifies the network node type and VPN service topology role. Unauthorized access to this subtree may render the node type or the VPN service topology invalid. "/nw:networks/nw:network/nt:link/nvp:perf-mon": This subtree specifies the PM of the network link and VPN link. Unauthorized access to this subtree can impact the network and VPN monitoring. Some 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: “/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node": Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the operational state information of underlay network instances or VPN instances. “/nw:networks/nw:network/nt:link/nvp:perf-mon/nvp:one-way-pm-statistics": Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the operational state information of underlay network links or VPN abstract links. “/nw:networks/nw:network/nw:node/nt:termination-point/nvp:pm-statistics": Unauthorized access to this subtree can disclose the operational state information of underlay network termination points or VPN network accesses. This YANG module does not define any RPC (Remote Procedure Call) operations and Actions.

The example shown in illustrates how a client subscribes to the performance monitoring information between nodes ('node-id') A and B in the L3 network topology. The performance monitoring parameter that the client is interested in is end-to-end loss.

This example, depicted in , illustrates an VPN PM instance example in which a client uses RESTCONF to fetch the performance data of the link and TP belonged to "VPN1".

This is an example of percentile measurement data that could be returned for a link foo:vpn1-link1 between vpn-node1 and vpn-node3.
