Hello, I have been selected as the Routing Directorate QA reviewer for this draft. My review is below. Regards, --John Document: draft-ietf-i2rs-rib-data-model-05 Reviewer: John Scudder Review Date: June 3, 2016 Summary: The document is reasonably understandable, although I did find myself with a fair number of questions, which I've written below. As noted below, many of these questions may only have arisen because I am not skilled in the subject area. I did find one major issue, with the Security Considerations section, which will certainly need to be resolved somehow before the document is progressed. Comments: In preparing my review, I reviewed the draft itself, but did not carefully read all the references. As a result, it's possible some of my observations might be in the rough, when taken in context of the full body of work. It's also the case that I am not an experienced Yang practitioner, so some practices and idioms that may be well known could easily have escaped me, and a similar disclaimer applies. Finally, I did not review Section 3, YANG Modules, in detail, although I made a few suggestions. Major Issues: 1. There are two problems with the Security Considerations section. The first is that the section isn't good (sorry). More on this below. The second is that it references the i2rs-architecture document normatively, but that document is listed under Informative References. The second problem is easily fixed, of course, by simply moving the architecture document to Normative References. The security section, in its entirety, is: This document introduces no extra new security threat and SHOULD follow the security requirements as stated in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture]. However, if I go look at the architecture document to see what "the security requirements" are that I am supposed to follow, I find a fairly long Security Considerations section which states nothing that formally appears to be a requirement. It also says that instantiations of i2rs will provide more detailed analysis of security properties. Since this document doesn't do that, there must be some other i2rs document that does, right? And this document should reference that one? It seems perfectly reasonable to state that this document doesn't introduce any security considerations of its own, and to reference some foundational document. However, the current security section doesn't do that effectively, doesn't reference the correct document, and I wouldn't expect it to survive a Security Directorate review. Suggesting a rewrite is beyond the scope of this QA review, sorry, but one is needed. I don't think it necessarily needs to be very long, but it does need to correct these issues. Minor Issues: 1. The author list of six people exceeds the current RFC Editor guidance of five or fewer named authors. See RFC 7322: The total number of authors or editors on the first page is generally limited to five individuals and their affiliations. If there is a request for more than five authors, the stream-approving body needs to consider if one or two editors should have primary responsibility for this document, with the other individuals listed in the Contributors or Acknowledgements section. 2. A number of symbols are not defined in Section 1.2, Tree Diagrams. I noticed the following as needing to be defined: { } x w n. 3. Possibly this is covered in a companion document or is well-known to those better versed in Yang than me, but I found myself wondering what the default values for optional items were. In particular, every writable boolean is optional. Many have no default value, for example sharing-flag has none. But return-failure-detail does have a default of false. Is it okay that some of these optional items have no default values? Is the expected behavior implementation-specific in that case? 4. "route-statistic" should probably be "route-statistics" (plural). Then again, looking at the content of "route-statistic", it's not what I would refer to as statistics at all. The content is state (active or inactive), installation state (installed, or not) and reason (I guess this indicates the reason the route entered its current state, see also comment 11 below). None of this seems like statistical data to me. Maybe "status"? 5. The model doesn't seem to capture any restrictions on how nexthops can be chained. Presumably there are some restrictions, for example it wouldn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to chain egress-interface and egress-interface-ipv4-nexthop together, the more so since the respective outgoing-interfaces might conflict. Possibly capturing this is outside the scope of this document. 6. In various parts of the model, it appears to be possible to reference an object either by an opaque identifier or by value. Maybe this is a common idiom, but it wasn't obvious to me why this should be, it seems redundant. For example, every route has a route-index, but when I want to operate on a route with route-update or route-delete, I have to identify it by rib name and prefix. The utility of the index, then, is not clear to me. Another example is in Section 2.5: o nh-delete: Delete a nexthop from a rib. A name of a rib and a nexthop or nexthop identifier are passed as the input parameters. Again, it's unclear to me why it's desirable to be able to delete the NH by either reference or value. 7. It was unclear to me why a reason is required for a route change notification, but not for a next hop change notification. 8. This construct appears three times: leaf rib-family { type rib-family-def; mandatory true; description "A reference to address family of a rib."; } However, in two locations the description is "The address family of a rib." and in the third, the "reference to" language is used. Probably this is just a cut and paste error, but because a reference is different from the thing itself (presumably a value), maybe the choice of language really does indicate some subtle difference? Because I haven't exhaustively reviewed Section 3, I think it is likely more such inconsistencies exist, and I think it would be good to check for them. 9. "To download N nexthops to the FIB, the N nexthops with the lowest value are selected." What if more than N nexthops are tied for having the lowest value? As written, this is underspecified. 10. "Nhop-lb-weight is a number between 1 and 99."; First, this doesn't use the correct name of the value it is describing. Second, it's not an adequate description. (It tells the reader nothing helpful.) 11. "Indicate the route reason." Again, this doesn't tell the reader anything helpful. Reason for what? Nits: I found a number of editorial nits. Rather than enumerating them here, I edited my suggested changes into a copy of https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-i2rs-rib-data-model-05.txt . I have provided both that copy, and a diff against the original, in attachments. Please review my changes and don't just accept them blindly, while I intended that all my changes were strictly editorial there's always the chance I altered the meaning unintentionally. In addition, I noticed some other issues where I'm not sure how they should be resolved: 1. The term "RIB" is used inconsistently throughout the document. In some places it's capitalized, as "RIB". In others, it's lowercase, as "rib", or even mixed-case, "Rib". I didn't change this in my marked up copy, for two reasons. First, global search and replace would not be straightforward, because the string also occurs where lowercase is clearly appropriate, for example "ietf-i2rs-rib" (there are 331 occurrences of RIB in any combination of upper and lowercase by my count). Second, I didn't completely discount the possibility of the authors are deliberately using the lowercase term sometimes. I recommend either the term should be uppercase ("RIB") throughout, or if a distinction between "RIB" and "rib" is intended, that should be explained in the Definitions and Acronyms section. 2. "there should be a limitation on how many levels of lookup can be practically performed." I suspect what the authors mean here is "there might be a limitation", meaning a practical limitation might exist (indeed, probably does exist) in the hardware implementing forwarding. I've suggested that change in my marked up copy. However, may be the authors really do mean that there needs to be a configurable limitation to allow restriction to something less than what the hardware implements. The fact that lookup-limit is a rw value seems to support this – I don't see why that would be a configurable value if it represents an expression of what the hardware is capable of. On the other hand, the document is silent about what an implementation is supposed to do with that value once configured. (Maybe one of the companion documents explains?) 3. The rib-list under routing-instance is indexed by a field called "name". Under the notification hierarchy the corresponding field is called "rib-name". it works as written, of course, but it caused a little dissonance for me. (See #4 below as well.) 4. The name "rib-family" wasn't self-explanatory for me. "rib-address-family" would have been. For that matter, why prefix "rib-" onto it since you haven't prefixed "rib-" onto the other variables (see #3 above as well). 5. Shouldn't there be an ellipsis right below rw-route-vendor-attributes in Figure 1? 6. In Section 2.1, capability negotiation is referred to twice, once in the first paragraph and once in the last. I think you probably mean capability advertisement. The distinction is that in advertisement, an entity (the router) is telling another entity what it's capabilities are. There is nothing to negotiate about per se, if the other entity doesn't like the router's capabilities, it can't very well convince the router to change them. I have changed "negotiation" to "advertisement" in my marked up copy accordingly, if that's not right you should revert it but also clarify. 7. "nexthop-lbs" is a strange choice of name for load-balancing. I would suggest either dropping the S and just making it "nexthop-lb", or spelling it out in full, "nexthop-load-balance". But something the casual reader is likely to see as "next hop pounds" ("lbs" is the common abbreviation for the English system unit of weight pounds, of course) seems problematic. 8. I couldn't understand this sentence at all: * failure-detail: shows the specific failed routes that failure reason. Since I didn't understand it, I can't suggest a rewrite, sorry. (The text recurs three times in section 2.5.) 9. nh-add in Section 2.5 talks about "the network node" doing something: o nh-add: Add a nexthop to a rib. A name of the rib and a nexthop are passed as the input parameters. The network node is required to allocate a nexthop identifier to the nexthop. The outputs include the result of the nexthop add operation. As far as I can tell, the entire rest of the document talks about "the i2rs agent" doing something. Should "network node" the rewritten accordingly? 10. Similar to #9, "A RIB data-model MUST support sending 2 kind of asynchronous notifications" Doesn't seem right. Surely the data model per se doesn't support sending anything at all, it's the i2rs agent that supports it? I've tentatively replaced the text with "An implementation of this RIB data model" (cribbed from lower down in the doc).

Introduction The Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] provides read and write access to the information and state within the routing process that exists inside the routing elements, this is achieved via protocol message exchange between I2RS clients and I2RS agents associated with the routing system. One of the functions of I2RS is to read and write data of Routing Information Base (RIB). [I-D.ietf-i2rs-usecase-reqs-summary] introduces a set of RIB use Wang, et al. Expires September 18, 2016 [Page 2] Internet-Draft RIB DM March 2016 cases. The RIB information model is defined in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model]. This document defines a YANG [RFC6020][RFC6991] data model for the RIB that satisfies the RIB use cases and aligns with the RIB information model. 1.1. Definitions and Acronyms RIB: Routing Information Base Information Model (IM): An abstract model of a conceptual domain, independent of a specific implementation or data representation. 1.2. Tree Diagrams A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows: o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys. o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration (read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only). o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node and "*" denotes a "list" and "leaf-list". o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":"). o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown. 2.

RIB Capability RIB capability advertisement is very important because not all of the hardware will be able to support all kinds of nexthops and there might be a limitation on how many levels of lookup can be practically performed. Therefore, a RIB data model MUST specify a way for an external entity to learn about the functional capabilities of a network device. At the same time, nexthop chains can be used to specify multiple headers over a packet, before that particular packet is forwarded. Not every network device will be able to support all kinds of nexthop chains along with the arbitrary number of headers which are chained Wang, et al. Expires September 18, 2016 [Page 7] Internet-Draft RIB DM March 2016 together. The RIB data model MUST provide a way to expose the nexthop chaining capability supported by a given network device. This module uses the feature and if-feature statements to achieve above capability advertisement. 2.2. Routing Instance and Rib A routing instance, in the context of the RIB information model, is a collection of RIBs, interfaces, and routing protocol parameters. A routing instance creates a logical slice of the router and can allow multiple different logical slices, across a set of routers, to communicate with each other. The routing protocol parameters control the information available in the RIBs. More detail about routing instance can be found in Section 2.2 of [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model]. For a routing instance, there can be multiple RIBs. Therefore, this model uses "list" to express the RIBs. The structure tree is shown below: +--rw routing-instance +--rw name string +--rw interface-list* [name] | +--rw name if:interface-ref +--rw router-id? yang:dotted-quad +--rw lookup-limit? uint8 +--rw rib-list* [name] +--rw name string +--rw rib-family rib-family-def +--rw ip-rpf-check? boolean +--rw route-list* [route-index] ... (refer to Section 2.3) Figure 2: Routing Instance Structure 2.3. Route A route is essentially a match condition and an action following that match. The match condition specifies the kind of route (e.g., IPv4, MPLS, MAC, Interface etc.) and the set of fields to match on. According to the definition in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model], a route MUST associate with the following attributes: o ROUTE_PREFERENCE: See Section 2.3 of [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model]. Wang, et al. Expires September 18, 2016 [Page 8] Internet-Draft RIB DM March 2016 o ACTIVE: Indicates whether a route has at least one fully resolved nexthop and is therefore eligible for installation in the FIB. o INSTALLED: Indicates whether the route got installed in the FIB. In addition, a route can be associated with one or more optional route attributes (e.g., route-vendor-attributes). A RIB will have a number of routes, so the routes are expressed as a list under a specific rib. Each rib has its own route list. +--rw route-list* [route-index] +--rw route-index uint64 +--rw match | +--rw (route-type)? | +--:(ipv4) | | +--rw ipv4 | | +--rw (ip-route-match-type)? | | +--:(dest-ipv4-address) | | | ... | | +--:(src-ipv4-address) | | | ... | | +--:(dest-src-ipv4-address) | | ... | +--:(ipv6) | | +--rw ipv6 | | +--rw (ip-route-match-type)? | | +--:(dest-ipv6-address) | | | ... | | +--:(src-ipv6-address) | | | ... | | +--:(dest-src-ipv6-address) | | ... | +--:(mpls-route) | | +--rw mpls-label uint32 | +--:(mac-route) | | +--rw mac-address uint32 | +--:(interface-route) | +--rw interface-identifier if:interface-ref +--rw nexthop | ...(refer to Section 2.4) Figure 3: Routes Structure Wang, et al. Expires September 18, 2016 [Page 9] Internet-Draft RIB DM March 2016 2.4. Nexthop A nexthop represents an object resulting from a route lookup. As illustrated in Section 2.4 of [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model], to support various use cases (e.g., load balance, protection, multicast or a combination of them), the nexthop is modeled as a multi-level structure and supports recursion. The first level of the nexthop includes the following four types: o Base: The "base" nexthop is the foundation of all other nexthop types. It includes the follow basic nexthops: * nexthop-id * IPv4 address * IPv6 address * egress-interface * egress-interface with IPv4 address * egress-interface with IPv6 address * egress-interface with MAC address * logical-tunnel * tunnel-encap * tunnel-decap * rib-name o Chain: Provide a way to perform multiple operations on a packet by logically combining them. o Load-balance: Designed for load-balance case where it normally will have multiple weighted nexthops. o Protection: Designed for protection scenario where it normally will have primary and standby nexthop. o Replicate: Designed for multiple destinations forwarding.

RPC Operations This module defines the following RPC operations: o rib-add: Add a rib to a routing instance. A name of the rib, address family of the rib and (optionally) whether the RPF check is enabled are passed as the input parameters. The output is the result of the add operation: * true - success; * false - failed; when failed, the i2rs agent may return the specific reason that causes the failure. o rib-delete: Delete a rib from a routing instance. When a rib is deleted, all routes installed in the rib will be deleted. A name of the rib is passed as the input parameter. The output is the result of the delete operation: * true - success; * false - failed; when failed, the i2rs agent may return the specific reason that causes the failure. o route-add: Add a route or a set of routes to a rib. A rib name, the route prefix(es), route attributes, route vendor attributes, nexthop and whether to return failure detail are passed as the input parameters. Before calling the route-add rpc, it is required to call the nh-add rpc to create and/or return the nexthop identifier. The output is a combination of the route operation states that include: * success-count: the number of routes that were successfully added; Wang, et al. Expires September 18, 2016 [Page 14] Internet-Draft RIB DM March 2016 * failed-count: the number of routes that failed to be added; * failure-detail: shows the specific failed routes that failure reason. o route-delete: Delete a route or a set of routes from a rib. A name of the rib, the route prefix(es) and whether to return failure detail are passed as the input parameters. The output is a combination of route operation states that include: * success-count: the number of routes that were successfully deleted; * failed-count: the number of the routes that failed to be deleted; * failure-detail: shows the specific failed routes that failure reason. o route-update: Update a route or a set of routes. A rib name, the route prefix(es), or route attributes, or route vendor attributes, or nexthop are passed as the input parameters. The match conditions can be either route prefix(es), or route attributes, or route vendor attributes, or nexthop. The update actions include: update the nexthop, update the route attributes, update the route vendor attributes. The output is combination of the route operation states that include: * success-count: the number of routes that were successfully updated; * failed-count: the number of routes that failed to be updated; * failure-detail: shows the specific failed routes that failure reason. o nh-add: Add a nexthop to a rib. A name of the rib and a nexthop are passed as the input parameters. The network node is required to allocate a nexthop identifier to the nexthop. The outputs include the result of the nexthop add operation. * true - success; when success, a nexthop identifier will be returned to the i2rs client. * false - failed; when failed, the i2rs agent may return the specific reason that causes the failure.

Notifications Asynchronous notifications are sent by the RIB manager of a network device to an external entity when some event triggers on the network device. An implementation of this RIB data model MUST support sending two kinds of asynchronous notifications. 1. Route change notification: o Installed (Indicates whether the route got installed in the FIB) ; o Active (Indicates whether a route has at least one fully resolved nexthop and is therefore eligible for installation in the FIB) ; o Reason - E.g. Not authorized 2. Nexthop resolution status notification Nexthops can be fully resolved or unresolved. A resolved nexthop has an adequate level of information to send the outgoing packet towards the destination by forwarding it on an interface to a directly connected neighbor. An unresolved nexthop is something that requires the RIB manager to determine the final resolved nexthop. In one example, a nexthop could be an IP address. The RIB manager would resolve how to reach that IP address, e.g. by checking if that particular IP address is reachable by regular IP forwarding or by a MPLS tunnel or by both. If the RIB manager cannot resolve the nexthop, then the nexthop remains in an unresolved state and is NOT a suitable candidate for installation in the FIB. An implementation of this RIB data model MUST support sending route- change notifications whenever a route transitions between the following states: o from the active state to the inactive state o from the inactive state to the active state o from the installed state to the uninstalled state o from the uninstalled state to the installed state Wang, et al. Expires September 18, 2016 [Page 18] Internet-Draft RIB DM March 2016 A single notification MAY be used when a route transitions from inactive/uninstalled to active/installed or in the other direction.
