Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Topology YANG Model

Abstract

This document defines a YANG data model for Deterministic Networking (DetNet) topology discovery and capability configuration.

The YANG module defined in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Deterministic Networking (DetNet) [I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture] is defined to provide high-quality network service with extremely low packet loss rate, bounded low latency and jitter.

DetNet YANG [RFC7950] [RFC6991] models are used for DetNet service configuration, QoS configuration and topology discovery. DetNet service and QoS configuration models are defined in [I-D.ietf-detnet-yang]. This document defines DetNet topology model that can be used for DetNet topology/capability discovery and device configuration. DetNet topology model is an augmentation of the ietf-te-toplogy model [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo].

2. Terminologies

This document uses the terminologies defined in [I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture].

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.

3. DetNet Topology Model

A DetNet topology is composed of a set of DetNet nodes and DetNet links. DetNet nodes represent the network devices that can transport DetNet services, which are connected by DetNet links. A DetNet Link Terminate Point(LTP) is the connection point between a DetNet node and a DetNet link, which represents the port or interface of a DetNet node. The concept of DetNet node/link/LTP are similar as TE node/link/LTP which are defined in [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo].

Figure 1 shows a simple DetNet topology: A is a DetNet node, B is DetNet a LTP, and C is a DetNet link.

                Figure 1. An example of DetNet Topology

DetNet topology model (ietf-detnet-topology) augments ietf-te-topology model [I-D.ietf-teas-yang-te-topo] to cover the following groups of attributes, which are necessary for supporting DetNet congestion protection and service protection:

The above attributes are categorized into three types: node attributes, link attributes and LTP attributes. The detailed descriptions and model definitions are specified in section 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively.

3.1. DetNet Node Attributes

Section 4.3 of [I-D.finn-detnet-bounded-latency] gives a DetNet time model, which defines that the delay within a node includes five parts: processing delay, regulation delay, queuing delay, output delay and preemption delay. The processing delay, queuing delay and regulation delay are variable in general, but for DetNet, these delays should be bounded, which is the basic assumption of deterministic networking. These bounded delay parameters are necessary to perform DetNet path computation. Among this delay attributes, processing delay and regulation delay are node relevant, and the queuing delay is LTP relevant. In addition, in order to simplify the model and implementation, the processing delay and regulation delay are combined as processing delay, and the preemption delay is included in queuing delay. [Editor notes: more comments and inputs need here].

For the DetNet node attributes, the following variables are introduced:

  • Maximum DetNet packet processing delay
  • Minimum DetNet packet processing delay
  • Maximum DetNet packet processing delay variation

The modeling structure is shown below:
