Introduction There is a need for standard mechanisms to patch datastores defined in [RFC6241], which contain conceptual data that conforms to schema specified with YANG [RFC7950]. An "orderededit'edit' list" approach is needed to provide RESTCONF client developers with more precise RESTCONF client control of the edit procedure thanexisting mechanismsthe "plain patch" mechanism found in[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf].[RFC8040]. This document defines a media type for a YANG-based editing mechanism that can be used with the HTTP PATCH method [RFC5789]. YANG Patch is designed to support the RESTCONF protocol, defined in[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf].[RFC8040]. This document only specifies the use of the YANG Patch media type with the RESTCONF protocol. It may be possible to use YANG Patch with other protocols besides RESTCONF. This is outside the scope of this document. For any protocolwhichthat supports the YANG Patch media type, if the entire patch document cannot be successfully applied, then the server MUST NOT apply any of the changes. It may be possible to use YANG Patch with datastore types other than a configuration datastore. This is outside the scope of this document. 1.1. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 1.1.1. NETCONF The following terms are defined in [RFC6241]: o configuration data o datastore o configuration datastore o protocol operation o running configuration datastore o state data o user 1.1.2. HTTP The following terms are defined in [RFC7230]: o header field o message-body o query o request URI The following terms are defined in [RFC7231]: o method o request o resource 1.1.3. YANG The following terms are defined in [RFC7950]: o container o data node o leaf o leaf-list o listo RPC operation (now called protocol operation)1.1.4. RESTCONF The following terms are defined in[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf]:[RFC8040]: o application/yang-data+xml o application/yang-data+json o data resource o datastore resource o patch o RESTCONF capability o target resource o YANG data template 1.1.5. YANG Patch The following terms are used within this document: o RESTCONF client: a clientwhichthat implements the RESTCONF protocol. o RESTCONF server: a serverwhichthat implements the RESTCONF protocol. o YANG Patch: a conceptual edit request using the "yang-patch" YANG Patch template, defined in Section 3. In HTTP, refers to a PATCH method where a representation uses either the media type "application/yang-patch+xml" or "application/yang-patch+json". o YANG Patch Status: a conceptual edit status response using the YANG "yang-patch-status" YANG data template, defined in Section 3. In HTTP, refers to a response message for a PATCH method, where it has a representation with either the media type"application/ yang-data+xml""application/yang-data+xml" or "application/yang-data+json". o YANG Patch template:this issimilar to a YANG data template, except that it has a representation with the media type"application/ yang-patch+xml""application/yang-patch+xml" or "application/yang-patch+json". 1.1.6. Examples Some protocol message lines within examples throughoutthethis document are split into multiple lines for display purposes only. When a line ends with a backslash('\')("\") as the last character, the line is wrapped for display purposes. It is to be considered to be joined to the next line by deleting the backslash, the following line break, and the leading whitespace of the next line. 1.1.7. Tree Diagram Notations A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. Themeaningmeanings of the symbols in these diagramsisare as follows: o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys. o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration data (read-write), "ro" means state data (read-only), and "x" means operation resource(executable)(executable). o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optionalnodenode, 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. YANG Patch A "YANG Patch" is an ordered list of edits that are applied to the target datastore by the RESTCONF server. The specific fields are defined in the YANG module in Section 3. The YANG Patch operation is invoked by the RESTCONF client by sending a PATCH method request with a representation using either the media type "application/yang-patch+xml" or"application/yang-patch+json" media type."application/yang-patch+json". This message-body representing the YANG Patch input parameters MUST be present. YANG Patch has some features that are not possible with thePATCH method"plain-patch" mechanism defined inRESTCONF:RESTCONF [RFC8040]: o YANG Patch allows multiple sub-resources to be edited within the same PATCH method. o YANG Patch allows a more precise editoperationsoperation thanRESTCONF.the "plain patch" mechanism found in [RFC8040]. There are7seven operations supported(create, delete, insert, merge, move, replace, remove).("create", "delete", "insert", "merge", "move", "replace", and "remove"). o YANG Patch uses anedit"edit" list with an explicit processing order. The edits are processed in client-specified order, and error processing can be precise even when multiple errors occur in the samepatchYANG Patch request. The YANG Patch "patch-id" may be useful fordebugging,debugging and SHOULD be present in any auditauditlogging records generated by the RESTCONF server for a patch. The RESTCONF server MUST return theAccept-Patch"Accept-Patch" header field in an OPTIONS response, as specified in [RFC5789], which includes the media type for YANG Patch. This is needed by a client to determine themessage encodingmessage-encoding formats supported by the server (e.g., XML, JSON, or both).An exampleThe following isshown in Figure 1.an example of an "Accept-Patch" header: Accept-Patch: application/yang-patch+xml,application/yang-patch+jsonFigure 1: Example Accept-Patch headerNote that YANG Patch can only edit data resources. The PATCH method cannot be used to replace the datastore resource. Although the "ietf-yang-patch" YANG module is written using YANG version 1.1 [RFC7950], an implementation of YANG Patch can be used with content defined in YANG version 1 [RFC6020] as well. A YANG Patch can be encoded in XML format according to [W3C.REC-xml-20081126]. It can also be encoded inJSON,JSON according to "JSON Encoding of Data Modeled with YANG" [RFC7951]. If anymeta- datametadata needs to be sent in a JSON message, it is encoded according to "Defining and Using Metadata with YANG" [RFC7952]. 2.1. Target Resource The YANG Patch operation uses the RESTCONF target resource URI to identify the resource that will be patched. This can be the datastore resource itself, i.e., "{+restconf}/data", to edittop- leveltop-level configuration data resources, or it can be a configuration data resource within the datastore resource, e.g.,"{+restconf}/data/ ietf-interfaces:interfaces","{+restconf}/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces", to edit sub-resources within a top-level configuration data resource. The target resource MUST identify exactly one resource instance. If more than one resource instance is identified, then the request MUST NOT beprocessed,processed and a "400 Bad Request" error response MUST be sent by the server. If the target resource does not identify any existing resourceinstanceinstance, then the request MUST NOT beprocessed,processed and a "404 Not Found" error response MUST be sent by the server. Each edit with a YANG Patch identifies a target data node for the associated edit. This is described in Section 2.4. 2.2. yang-patch Request A YANGpatchPatch isoptionallyidentified by a unique"patch-id""patch-id", and it may have an optional comment. A patch is an ordered collection of edits. Each edit is identified by an"edit-id""edit-id", and it has an edit operation(create, delete, insert, merge, move, replace, remove)("create", "delete", "insert", "merge", "move", "replace", or "remove") that is applied to the target resource. Each edit can be applied to a sub-resource "target" within the target resource. If the operation is "insert" or "move", then the "where" parameter indicates how the node is inserted or moved. For values "before" and "after", the "point" parameter specifies the data node insertion point. Themerge, replace, create, delete,"merge", "replace", "create", "delete", andremove"remove" edit operations have exactly theexactsamemeaningmeanings as those defined for the "operation" attribute described insectionSection 7.2 of [RFC6241]. Each edit within a YANG Patch MUST identify exactly one data resource instance. If an edit represents more than one resource instance, then the request MUST NOT beprocessed,processed and a "400 Bad Request" error response MUST be sent by the server. If the edit does not identify any existing resourceinstance,instance and the operation for the edit is not "create", then the request MUST NOT beprocessed,processed and a "404 Not Found" error response MUST be sent by the server. A "yang-patch-status" response MUST be sent by the server identifying theedit(s)edit or edits that are not valid. YANG Patch does not provide any access to specific datastores.It is an implementation detail howHow a server processes an edit if it isco- locatedco-located with aNETCONFNetwork Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server that does provide access to individualdatastores.datastores is left up to the implementation. A complete datastore cannot be replaced in the same manner as that provided by the"copy-config"<copy-config> operation defined insectionSection 7.3 of [RFC6241]. Only the specified nodes in a YANG Patch are affected. A message-body representing the YANG Patch is sent by the RESTCONF client to specify the edit operation request. When used with the HTTP PATCH method, this data is identified by the YANG Patch media type.

When used with the HTTP PATCH method, this data is identified by the YANG Patch Status mediatype, andtype; the syntax specification is defined in Section 3.

Target Data Node The target data node for each edit operation is determined by the value of the target resource in the request and the "target" leaf within each "edit" entry. If the target resource specified in the request URI identifies a datastore resource, then the path string in the "target" leaf is treated as an absolute path expression identifying the target data node for the corresponding edit. The first node specified in the "target" leaf is a top-level data node defined within a YANG module. The "target" leaf MUST NOT contain a single forward slash"/",("/"), since this would identify the datastore resource, not a data resource. If the target resource specified in the request URI identifies a configuration data resource, then the path string in the "target" leaf is treated as a relative path expression. The first node specified in the "target" leaf is a child configuration data node of the data node associated with the target resource. If the "target" leaf contains a single forward slash"/",("/"), then the target data node is the target resource data node. 2.5. Edit Operations Each YANGpatchPatch edit specifies one edit operation on the target data node. The set of operations is aligned with the NETCONF editoperations,operations but also includes some new operations. +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | Operation | Description | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | create | create a new data resource if it does not already | | |exist orexist; if it already exists, return an error | | | | | delete | delete a data resource if it alreadyexists orexists; if it | | | does not exist, return an error | | | | | insert | insert a new user-ordered data resource | | | | | merge | merge the edit value with the target data resource; | | | create if it does not already exist | | | | | move |re-orderreorder the target data resource | | | | | replace | replace the target data resource with the edit value | | | | | remove | remove a data resource if it already exists | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ YANG Patch Edit Operations 2.6. Successful Edit Response Handling If a YANG Patch is completed without errors, the RESTCONF server MUST return a "yang-patch-status" message with aglobal-status"global-status" choice set to'ok'. The RESTCONF server will save the running datastore to non-volatile storage if it supports non-volatile storage, and if the running datastore contents have changed, as specified in [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf]."ok". Refer to AppendixD.1.2A.1.2 foraan example of a successful YANG Patch response. 2.7. Error Handling If a well-formed, schema-valid YANG Patch message is received, then the RESTCONF server will process the supplied edits in ascending order. The following error modes apply to the processing of thisedit"edit" list: If a YANG Patch is completed with errors, the RESTCONF server SHOULD return a "yang-patch-status" message. It is possible (e.g., within a distributedimplementation),implementation) that an invalid request will be rejected before the YANGpatchPatch edits are processed. In this case, the server MUST send the appropriate HTTP error response instead. Refer to AppendixD.1.1A.1.1 foraan example of an error YANG Patch response. 2.8.yang-patch":yang-patch" RESTCONF Capability A URI is defined to identify the YANG Patch extension to the base RESTCONF protocol. If the RESTCONF server supports the YANG Patch media type, then the"yang-patch"":yang-patch" RESTCONF capability defined in Section 4.3 MUST be present in the "capability" leaf-list in the "ietf-restconf-monitoring" module defined in[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf].[RFC8040]. 3. YANG Module The "ietf-yang-patch" module defines conceptual definitions with the'yang-data'"yang-data" extension statements, which are not meant to be implemented as datastore contents by a RESTCONF server. The "ietf-restconf" module from[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf][RFC8040] is used by this module for the'yang-data'"yang-data" extension definition.RFC Ed.: update the date below with the date of RFC publication and remove this note.<CODE BEGINS> file "ietf-yang-patch@2016-11-09.yang" module ietf-yang-patch { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-patch"; prefix "ypatch"; import ietf-restconf { prefix rc; } organization "IETF NETCONF (Network Configuration) Working Group"; contact "WG Web:<http://tools.ietf.org/wg/netconf/><https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/netconf/> WG List: <mailto:netconf@ietf.org> Author: Andy Bierman <mailto:andy@yumaworks.com> Author: Martin Bjorklund <mailto:mbj@tail-f.com> Author: Kent Watsen <mailto:kwatsen@juniper.net>"; description "This module contains conceptual YANG specifications for the YANG Patch and YANG Patch Status data structures.

RESTCONF Capability URNs This document registers one capability identifier in the "RESTCONFProtocolCapability URNs" registryIndex Capability Identifier ------------------------ :yang-patch urn:ietf:params:restconf:capability:yang-patch:1.0 5.[RFC8040]. The review policy for this registry is "IETF Review" [RFC5226]. Index Capability Identifier ------------------------------------------------------------------ :yang-patch urn:ietf:params:restconf:capability:yang-patch:1.0 5. Security Considerations The YANG Patch media type does not introduce any significant new security threats, beyond what is described in[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf].[RFC8040]. This document defines edit processing instructions for a variant of the PATCH method, as used within the RESTCONF protocol. Message integrity is provided by the RESTCONF protocol. There is no additional capability to validate that a patch has not been altered. It may be possible to use YANG Patch with other protocols besidesRESTCONF, whichRESTCONF; this topic is outside the scope of this document. For RESTCONF, both the client and server MUST beauthenticated,authenticated according tosectionSection 2 of[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf].[RFC8040]. It is important for RESTCONF server implementations to carefully validate all the edit request parameters in some manner. If the entire YANG Patch request cannot be completed, then no configuration changes to the system are done. A PATCH request MUST be applied atomically, as specified insectionSection 2 of [RFC5789]. A RESTCONF server implementation SHOULD attempt to prevent system disruption due to incremental processing of the YANG Patchedit"edit" list. It may be possible to construct an attack on such a RESTCONF server, which relies on the edit processing order mandated by YANG Patch. A server SHOULD apply only the fully validated configuration to the underlying system. For example, anedit"edit" listwhichthat deleted an interface and then recreated it could cause system disruption if theedit"edit" list was incrementally applied. A RESTCONF server implementation SHOULD attempt to prevent system disruption due to excessive resource consumption required to fulfill YANG Patch edit requests.ItOn such an implementation, it may be possible to construct an attackon such a RESTCONF server, whichthat attempts to consume all available memory or other resource types. 6.
