Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 1. Introduction The mechanism to support a subscription of a continuous and customized stream of updates from a YANG datastore [RFC8342] is defined in [RFC8639] and [RFC8641]. Requirements for Subscription to YANG Datastores are defined in [RFC7923]. By streaming data from publishers to receivers, much better performance and fine-grained sampling can be achieved than with polling. In a distributed forwarding system, the packet forwarding is delegated to multiple processors on line cards. To not to overwhelm the route processor resources, it is not uncommon that data records are published directly from processors on line cards to target Receivers to further increase efficiency on the routing system. This document complements the general subscription requirements defined in section 4.2.1 of [RFC7923] by the paragraph: A Subscription Service MAY support the ability to export from multiple software processes on a single routing system and expose the information which software process produced which message to maintain data integrity. 2. Terminologies The following terms are defined in [RFC8639] and are not redefined here: Subscriber Publisher Receiver Subscription In addition, this document defines the following terms: Global Subscription: is the Subscription requested by the subscriber. It may be decomposed into multiple Component Subscriptions. Component Subscription: is the Subscription that defines a data source which is managed and controlled by a single Publisher. Global Capability: is the overall subscription capability that the group of Publishers can expose to the Subscriber. Zhou, et al. Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 Component Capability: is the subscription capability that each Publisher can expose to the Subscriber. Master: is the Publisher that interacts with the Subscriber to deal with the Global Subscription. It decomposes the Global Subscription to multiple Component Subscriptions and interacts with the Agents. Agent: is the Publisher that interacts with the Master to deal with the Component Subscription and pushing the data to the Receiver. Observation Domain: An Observation Domain is the largest set of observation points for which metrics can be collected, stored and exported by an Agent. For example, a router line card may be an Observation Domain if it is composed of several interfaces, each of which is an observation point. Observation Domain ID: A 32-bit identifier of the Observation Domain that is locally unique to the network node. In the YANG notification messages it generates, the Observation Domain includes its Observation Domain ID. That way, the collecting process can identify the specific Observation Domain from the publisher that sends the YANG notification messages. Receivers SHOULD use the transport session and the Observation Domain ID field to separate different publisher streams originating from the same publisher. 3. Motivation Lost and corrupt YANG notification messages need to be recognized at the receiver to ensure data integrity even when multiple publisher processes publishing from the same transport session. To preserve data integrity down to the publisher process, the Observation Domain ID in the transport message header of the YANG notification message is introduced. In case of UDP transport, this is described in Section 3.2 of UDP-based transport [I-D.ietf-netconf-udp-notif]. 4. Solution Overview Figure 1 below shows the distributed data export framework. A collector usually includes two components, * the Subscriber generates the subscription instructions to express what and how the Receiver wants to receive the data; * the Receiver is the target for the data publication. Zhou, et al. Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 For one subscription, there can be one or more Receivers. And the Subscriber does not necessarily share the same IP address as the Receivers. In this framework, the Publisher pushes data to the Receiver according to the subscription. The Publisher is either in the Master or Agent role. The Master knows all the capabilities that his Agents can provide and exposes the Global Capability to the collector. The Subscriber maintains the Global Subscription at the Master and disassembles the Global Subscription to multiple Component Subscriptions, depending which source data is needed. The Component Subscriptions are then distributed to the corresponding Publisher Agents on route and processors on line cards. Publisher Agents collects metrics according to the Component Subscription, add its metadata, encapsulates, and pushes data to the Receiver where packets are reassembled and decapsulated. +-----------------------------------------+ | Collector |-------------+ | | +------------+ | | | +------------+ || Receiver | | | | | Subscriber | |--------------+ | | +-----^-+----+ +------------^ | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------+ Global | | Global | Capability| | Subscription | +-----------------------------------------+ | | | | | | +--------+-v-------------------+ | | | | Publisher(Master) | | | | +--------^-+-------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | Component | | Component Push | | | Capability| | Subscription | | | +--------+-v-------------------+ | | | | Publisher(Agent) +--+ | | +------------------------------+ | | | | Device | +-----------------------------------------+ Figure 1: The Distributed Data Export Framework Master and Agents interact with each other in several ways: Zhou, et al. Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 * Agents need to register at the Master at the beginning of their process life cycle. * Contracts are created between the Master and each Agent on the Component Capability, and the format for streaming data structure. * The Master relays the component subscriptions to the Agents. * The Agents announce the status of their Component Subscriptions to the Master. The status of the overall subscription is maintained by the Master. The Master is responsible for notifying the subscriber in case of problems with the Component Subscriptions. The technical mechanisms or protocols used for the coordination of operational information between Master and Agent is out-of-scope of this document. 5. Subscription Decomposition The Collector can only subscribe to the Master. This requires the Master to: 1. expose the Global Capability that can be served by multiple Publisher Agents; 2. disassemble the Global Subscription to multiple Component Subscriptions, and distribute them to the Publisher Agents of the corresponding metric sources so that they not overlap; 3. notify on changes when portions of a subscription moving between different Publisher Agents over time. And the Agent to: * Inherit the Global Subscription properties from Publisher Master for its Component Subscription; * share the same life-cycle as the Global Subscription; * share the same Subscription ID as the Global Subscription. 6. Publication Composition The Publisher Agent collects data and encapsulates the packets per Component Subscription. The format and structure of the data records are defined by the YANG schema, so that the decomposition at the Receiver can benefit from the structured and hierarchical data records. Zhou, et al. Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 The Receiver is able to associate the YANG data records with Subscription ID [RFC8639] to the subscribed subscription and with Message Observation Domain ID to one of the Publisher Agents software processes to enable message integrity. For the dynamic subscription, the output of the "establish- subscription" RPC defined in [RFC8639] MUST include a list of Message Observation Domain IDs to indicate how the Global Subscription is decomposed into several Component Subscriptions. The "subscription-started" and "subscription-modified" notification defined in [RFC8639] MUST also include a list of Message Observation Domain IDs to notify the current Publishers for the corresponding Global Subscription. 7. Subscription State Change Notifications In addition to sending event records to Receivers, the Master MUST also send subscription state change notifications [RFC8639] when events related to subscription management have occurred. All the subscription state change notifications MUST be delivered by the Master. When the subscription decomposition result changed, the "subscription-modified" notification MUST be sent to indicate the new list of Publishers. 8. Publisher Configurations This document assumes that all Publisher Agents are preconfigured to push data. The actual working Publisher Agents are selected based on the subscription decomposition result. All Publisher Agents share the same source IP address for data export. For connectionless data transport such as UDP based transport [I-D.ietf-netconf-udp-notif] the same Layer 4 source port for data export can be used. For connection based data transport such as HTTPS based transport [I-D.ietf-netconf-https-notif], each Publisher Agent MUST be able to acknowledge packet retrieval from Receivers, and therefore requires a dedicated Layer 4 source port per software process. The specific configuration on transports is described in the responsible documents. 9. YANG Tree Zhou, et al.

XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. This document registers the following YANG module in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC3688]: Name: ietf-distributed-notif Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-distributed-notif Prefix: dn Reference: RFC XXXX 12. Implementation Status Note to the RFC-Editor: Please remove this section before publishing. 12.1. Open Source Publisher INSA Lyon implemented this document for a YANG Push publisher on UDP-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions [I-D.ietf-netconf-udp-notif] in an example implementation. The open source code can be obtained here: [INSA-Lyon-Publisher]. Zhou, et al. Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 12.2. Open Source Receiver Library INSA Lyon implemented this document for a YANG Push receiver on UDP-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions [I-D.ietf-netconf-udp-notif] as a library. The open source code can be obtained here: [INSA-Lyon-Receiver]. 12.3. Pmacct Data Collection The open source YANG push receiver library has been integrated into the Pmacct open source Network Telemetry data collection. 12.4. Huawei VRP Huawei implemented this document for a YANG Push publisher on UDP-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions [I-D.ietf-netconf-udp-notif] in their VRP platform. 13. Operational Considerations In Section 2 of [RFC7011] the Observation Domain term has been used to identify the largest set of Observation Points for which IPFIX Flow information can be aggregated by a Metering Process which usually applies to a router line card. Note that, even if the terms are similar, the concepts are different: indeed, in this case, one router line card can contain multiple publisher processes. The Observation Domain ID term, issue from IPFIX [RFC7011], has been kept, as opposed to create a new term such as Publisher ID, it is expected that most network node with line cards will contain just one publisher per line card. In which case, the observation domain (ID) concepts in IPFIX and in this draft are similar. 14. 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 [RFC5246]. The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access particulary for NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. Zhou, et al. Expires 8 January 2024 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Distributed Notifications July 2023 The new data nodes introduced 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-config or notification) to this data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: * /subscriptions/subscription/message-observation-domain-ids The entries in the two lists above will show where subscribed resources might be located on the publishers. Access control MUST be set so that only someone with proper access permissions has the ability to access this resource. Other Security Considerations is the same as those discussed in [RFC8639]. 15.
