 YANG Modules Describing Capabilities for Systems and Datastore Update
                             Notifications

Abstract

   This document defines two YANG modules, "ietf-system-capabilities"
   and "ietf-notification-capabilities".

   The module "ietf-system-capabilities" provides a placeholder
   structure that can be used to discover YANG-related system
   capabilities for servers.  The module can be used to report
   capability information from the server at runtime or at
   implementation time by making use of the YANG instance data file
   format.

   The module "ietf-notification-capabilities" augments "ietf-system-
   capabilities" to specify capabilities related to "Subscription to
   YANG Notifications for Datastore Updates" (RFC 8641).

1.  Introduction

   Servers and/or publishers often have capabilities, which can be
   represented by values that designate operational behavior, that need
   to be conveyed to clients.  The YANG modules that are defined in this
   document facilitate this.

   There is a need to publish this capability information as it is part
   of the API contract between the server and client.  Examples include
   the maximum size of data that can be stored or transferred,
   information about counters (whether a node supports "on-change"
   telemetry), etc.  Such capabilities are often dependent on a vendor's
   implementation or the available resources at deployment.  Many such
   capabilities are specific to the complete system, individual YANG
   datastores [RFC8342], specific parts of the YANG schema, or even
   individual data nodes.  It is a goal of this document to provide a
   common way to represent such capabilities in a format that is:

   *  vendor independent,

   *  machine readable, and

   *  available in an identical format both at implementation time and
      at runtime.

   Implementation-time information is needed by Network Management
   System (NMS) implementers.  An NMS implementation that supports
   notifications needs information about a system's capability so it can
   send "on-change" notifications.  If the information is not documented
   in a way that is readily available to the NMS designer, but only as
   instance data from the network node once it is deployed, the NMS
   implementation will be delayed because it has to wait for the network
   node to be ready.  In addition, the assumption that all NMS
   implementers will have a correctly configured network node available
   from which to retrieve data is an expensive proposition and may not
   always hold.  (An NMS may need to be able to handle many dozens of
   network node types.)  Often, a fully functional NMS is a requirement
   for introducing a new network node type into a network, so delaying
   NMS readiness effectively also delays the time at which a new network
   node type can be introduced into the network.

   Implementation-time information is needed by system integrators.
   When introducing a network node type into their network, operators
   often need to integrate the node type into their own management
   system.  The NMS may have management functions that depend on "on-
   change" notifications.  The network operators need to plan their
   management practices and NMS implementation before they decide to buy
   the specific network node type.  Moreover, the decision to buy the
   node type sometimes depends on these management possibilities.

   Runtime capability information is needed:

   *  for any "purely model-driven" application, e.g., a NETCONF
      browser.  Such applications depend on reading models and
      capabilities at runtime to support all the publisher's available
      functionality.

   *  in case the capability might change during runtime, e.g., due to
      licensing, hardware constraints, etc.

   *  to check that that capability information provided earlier, at
      implementation time, is what the publisher has implemented.

1.1.  Terminology

   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.

   The terms "YANG-Push", "on-change subscription", and "periodic
   subscription" are used as defined in [RFC8641].

   The terms "subscriber", "publisher", and "receiver" are used as
   defined in [RFC8639].

   The term "server" is used as defined in [RFC8342].

   The terms "YANG instance data file format", "instance data", and
   "instance data set" are used as defined in [RFC9195].

   In addition, this document defines the following terms:

   Implementation-time information:  Information about the server's
      behavior that is made available during the implementation of the
      server, available from a source other than a running server.

   Runtime information:  Information about the server's behavior that is
      available from the running server via management protocols such as
      NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].

2.  Providing System Capability Information

   Capability information is represented by instance data based on one
   or more "capability-defining YANG modules".  This allows a user to
   discover capabilities both at implementation time and at runtime.

   For the implementation-time use case:  Capabilities SHOULD be
      provided by the implementer as YANG instance data files complying
      with [RFC9195].  When provided, the file MUST already be available
      at implementation time and retrievable in a way that does not
      depend on a live network node, e.g., downloading from a product
      website.

   For the runtime use case:  Capabilities SHOULD be available via
      NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040] from the live server
      (implementing the publisher) during runtime.  Implementations that
      support changing these capabilities at runtime SHOULD support "on-
      change" notifications about the system-capabilities container.

   The module "ietf-system-capabilities" provides a placeholder
   structure to be used to specify any YANG-related system capability.

   The module "ietf-notification-capabilities" is defined to allow a
   publisher to specify capabilities related to "Subscription to YANG
   Notifications for Datastore Updates" [RFC8641], also known as YANG-
   Push, augmenting "ietf-system-capabilities".

   The YANG data models in this document conform to the Network
   Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].

3.  Providing YANG-Push Notification Capabilities Information

   A specific case is the need to specify capabilities in the YANG-Push
   functionality.  As defined in [RFC8641], a publisher may allow
   subscribers to subscribe to updates from a datastore and will
   subsequently push such update notifications to the receiver.
   Notifications may be sent periodically or "on change" (more or less
   immediately after each change).

   A publisher supporting YANG-Push has a number of capabilities defined
   in [RFC8641] that are often determined during the implementation of
   the publisher.  These include:

   *  supported (reporting) periods for "periodic" subscriptions.

   *  the maximum number of objects that can be sent in an update.

   *  the set of datastores or data nodes for which "periodic"
      notification is supported.

   Additional capabilities if the optional "on-change" feature is
   supported include:

   *  supported dampening periods for "on-change" subscriptions.

   *  the set of datastores or data nodes for which "on-change"
      notification is supported.

   Publishers might have some capabilities (or limitations) to document
   -- for example, how many update notifications and how many datastore
   node updates they can send out in a certain time period.  Other
   publishers might not support "periodic" subscriptions to all
   datastores.  In some cases, a publisher supporting "on-change"
   notifications will not be able to push updates for some object types
   "on change".  Reasons for this might be that the value of the
   datastore node changes frequently (e.g., in-octet counter), that
   small object changes are frequent and irrelevant to the receiver
   (e.g., a temperature gauge changing 0.1 degrees within a
   predetermined and acceptable range), or that the implementation is
   not capable of on-change notification for a particular object.  In
   all those cases, it will be important for subscriber applications to
   have a way to identify the objects for which "on-change"
   notifications are supported and the objects for which they are not.

   Support for "on-change" notifications does not mean that such
   notifications will be sent for any specific data node, as the ability
   to do so may not be supported for every data node.  Therefore,
   subscriber/management applications cannot rely on the "on-change"
   functionality unless the subscriber has some means to identify the
   objects for which "on-change" notifications are in fact supported.
   YANG data models are meant to be used as an interface contract.
   Without identification of the data nodes actually supporting "on-
   change" notifications, this contract would be incomplete.

   Clients of a server (and subscribers to a publisher, as subscribers
   are also clients) need a method to gather capability information.

4.  System Capabilities Model

   The module "ietf-system-capabilities" is defined to provide a
   structure that can be used to discover (as a read-only operational
   state) any YANG-related system capability.

   This module itself does not contain any capabilities; it provides
   augmentation points for capabilities to be defined in subsequent YANG
   modules. "ietf-system-capabilities" is used by other modules to
   augment in specific capability information.  Every set of such
   capabilities MUST be wrapped in a container under the augment
   statement to cleanly separate different groups of capabilities.
   These "wrapper containers" SHALL be augmented at /sysc:system-
   capabilities and /sysc:system-capabilities/sysc:datastore-
   capabilities/sysc:per-node-capabilities.

   Capability values can be specified at the system level, at the
   datastore level (by selecting all nodes in the datastore), or for
   specific data nodes of a specific datastore (and their contained
   subtrees).  Capability values specified for a specific datastore or
   node-set override values specified at the system level.

      Note: The solution is usable for both NMDA and non-NMDA systems.
      For non-NMDA servers, "config false" data is considered as if it
      were part of the running datastore.

       "This module specifies a structure to specify system
        capabilities for a server or a publisher.  System capabilities
        may include capabilities of a NETCONF or RESTCONF server or a
        notification publisher.

        This module does not contain any specific capabilities; it only
        provides a structure where containers containing the actual
        capabilities are augmented in.

        Capability values can be specified at the system level, at the
        datastore level (by selecting all nodes in the datastore), or
        for specific data nodes of a specific datastore (and their
        contained subtrees).
        Capability values specified for a specific datastore or
        node-set override values specified on the system/publisher
        level.

        The same grouping MUST be used to define hierarchical
        capabilities supported both at the system level and at the
        datastore/data-node level.

        To find a capability value for a specific data node in a
        specific datastore, the user SHALL:

        1) search for a datastore-capabilities list entry for
        the specific datastore.  When stating a specific capability, the
        relative path for any specific capability must be the same
        under the system-capabilities container and under the
        per-node-capabilities list.

        2) If the datastore entry is found within that entry, process
        all per-node-capabilities entries in the order they appear in
        the list.  The first entry that specifies the specific
        capability and has a node-selector selecting the specific data
        node defines the capability value.

        3) If the capability value is not found above and the specific
        capability is specified under the system-capabilities container
        (outside the datastore-capabilities list), this value shall be
        used.

        4) If no values are found in the previous steps, the
        system/publisher is not capable of providing a value.  Possible
        reasons are that it is unknown, the capability is changing for
        some reason, there is no specified limit, etc.  In this case,
        the system's behavior is unspecified.

       "This module specifies publisher capabilities related to
        YANG-Push (RFC 8641).

        The module contains:

        - a specification of the data nodes that support 'on-change' or
        'periodic' notifications.

        - capabilities related to the throughput of notification data
        that the publisher can support.  (Note that for a specific
        subscription, the publisher MAY allow only longer periods
        or smaller updates depending on, e.g., actual load conditions.)

        Capability values can be specified at the system/publisher
        level, at the datastore level, or for specific data nodes of
        a specific datastore (and their contained subtrees), as defined
        in the ietf-system-capabilities module.

        If different data nodes covered by a single subscription
        have different values for a specific capability, then using
        values that are only acceptable for some of these data nodes,
        but not for others, may result in the rejection of the
        subscription.

        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 (RFC 2119)
        (RFC 8174) when, and only when, they appear in all
        capitals, as shown here.

6. Security Considerations The YANG modules specified in this document define a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040] or as YANG instance data. 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. This document outlines a framework for conveying system capability information that is inherently flexible and extensible. While the full set of use cases is not known now, they may range as wide as conveying the minimum update period for periodic subscription updates and what protocols might be used for such notifications. Knowledge of this type of value might, for example, allow an attacker to gain insight into how long unauthorized configuration changes might be active prior to detection and what communications channels might be disrupted to extend the period of non-detection. Documents adding additional capabilities via augmenting this module are encouraged to document the security considerations of the new YANG nodes, according to the guidance in BCP 216 [RFC8407]. All protocol-accessible data nodes in augmented modules are read-only and cannot be modified. Access control may be configured to avoid exposing any read-only data that is defined by the augmenting module documentation as being security sensitive. When that data is in file format, the data should be protected against modification or unauthorized access using normal file- handling mechanisms. The data in file format also inherits all the security considerations of [RFC9195], which includes additional considerations about read protections and distinguishes between data at rest and in motion. 7.

Periodic subscriptions are supported for running and operational, but not for candidate datastore. </description> <content-data> <system-capabilities \ xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-system-capabilities" \ xmlns:notc=\ "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-notification-capabilities" \ xmlns:ds="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-datastores"> <notc:subscription-capabilities> <notc:minimum-update-period>500</notc:minimum-update-period> <notc:max-nodes-per-update>2000</notc:max-nodes-per-update> <notc:minimum-dampening-period>\ 100\ </notc:minimum-dampening-period> <notc:periodic-notifications-supported>\ config-changes state-changes\ </notc:periodic-notifications-supported> </notc:subscription-capabilities> <datastore-capabilities> <datastore>ds:operational</datastore> <per-node-capabilities> <node-selector>/</node-selector> <notc:subscription-capabilities> <notc:on-change-supported>\ state-changes\ </notc:on-change-supported> </notc:subscription-capabilities> </per-node-capabilities> </datastore-capabilities> <datastore-capabilities> <datastore>ds:candidate</datastore> <per-node-capabilities> <node-selector>/</node-selector> <notc:subscription-capabilities> <notc:on-change-supported/> <notc:periodic-notifications-supported/> </notc:subscription-capabilities> </per-node-capabilities> </datastore-capabilities> <datastore-capabilities> <datastore>ds:running</datastore> <per-node-capabilities> <node-selector>/</node-selector> <notc:subscription-capabilities> <notc:on-change-supported>\ config-changes\ </notc:on-change-supported> </notc:subscription-capabilities> </per-node-capabilities> </datastore-capabilities> </system-capabilities> </content-data> </instance-data-set> Figure 2: Notification Capabilities with Datastore-Level Settings Acknowledgments For their valuable comments, discussions, and feedback, we wish to acknowledge Andy Bierman, Juergen Schoenwaelder, Rob Wilton, Kent Watsen, Eric Voit, Joe Clarke, Martin Bjorklund, Ladislav Lhotka, Qin Wu, Mahesh Jethanandani, Ran Tao, Reshad Rahman, and other members of the Netmod Working Group.
