RIB Extension
A YANG Data Model
draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rib-extend-22 for RIB Extensions
Abstract
A Routing Information Base (RIB) is a list of routes and their
corresponding administrative data and operational state.
RFC 8349 defines the basic building blocks for the RIB data model,
and this model augments it to support multiple next-hops (aka, next hops (aka paths)
for each route as well as additional attributes.

1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model which [RFC7950] that extends the
RIB data model defined in the ietf-routing YANG module [RFC8349] with
more route attributes.
A RIB is a collection of routes with attributes controlled and
manipulated by control-plane control plane protocols. Each RIB contains only
routes of one address family [RFC8349]. Within a protocol, routes
are selected based on the metrics in use by that protocol, and the
protocol installs the routes to the RIB. The RIB selects the
preferred or active route by comparing the route-preference (aka, route preference (aka
administrative distance) of the candidate routes installed by
different protocols.
The module defined in this document extends the RIB to support more
route attributes, such as multiple next-hops, next hops, route metrics, and
administrative tags.
The YANG modules defined and discussed in this document conform to
the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

2.2. Prefixes in Data Node Names
In this document, names of data nodes, actions, and other data model

3. Design of the Model
The YANG module defined in this document augments the ietf-routing ietf-routing,
ietf-ipv4-unicast-routing, and ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing YANG modules
defined in [RFC8349], which provide a basis for routing system data
model development. Together with the ietf-routing YANG module and
other YANG modules defined in [RFC8349], a generic RIB YANG data
model is defined herein to implement and monitor a RIB.
The modules in [RFC8349] also define the basic configuration and
operational state for both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes. This
document provides augmentations for static routes to support multiple
next-hops
next hops and more next-hop attributes.
3.1. Tags and Preference Preferences
Individual route tags are supported at both the route and next-hop
level. A preference per next-hop next hop is also supported for selection of
the most preferred reachable static route.
The following tree snapshot shows tag and preference which entries that
augment static IPv4 unicast routes route and IPv6 unicast routes next-hop. route next hops.

+--ro metric? uint32
+--ro tag* uint32
+--ro application-tag? uint32
3.2. Repair Path
The IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) calculation by routing protocol pre-
computes
precomputes repair paths [RFC5714], and the repair paths are
installed in the RIB.
Each route next-hop next hop in the RIB is augmented with a repair path, path and is
shown in the following tree snapshot.
augment /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route
/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:simple-next-hop:
+--ro repair-path
+--ro outgoing-interface? if:interface-state-ref
+--ro next-hop-address? inet:ip-address-no-zone
+--ro metric? uint32

6. 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
[RFC8446].
The NETCONF access control model Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or
RESTCONF users to a pre-
configured preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or
RESTCONF protocol operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in ietf-rib-extensions.yang the ietf-rib-
extension.yang module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e.,
config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.
Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without
proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: sensitivity/
vulnerability:
* /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference
* /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag
* /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list
/v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference
* /v4ur:next-hop-options/v4ur:next-hop-list/v4ur:next-hop-list
/v4ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag
* /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:preference
* /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:simple-next-hop/rib-ext:tag
* /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list
/v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:preference
* /v6ur:next-hop-options/v6ur:next-hop-list/v6ur:next-hop-list
/v6ur:next-hop/rib-ext:tag
For these augmentations to ietf-routing.yang, the ability to
delete, add, and modify IPv4 and IPv6 static route preference preferences and
tag
tags would allow traffic to be misrouted.
Some of the readable data nodes in the ietf-rib-extensions.yang ietf-rib-extension.yang module
may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via
get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the
subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
* /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rib-ext:statistics
* /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:metric
* /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:tag
/rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route /rib-
ext:application-tag
/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:simple-next-hop /rib-
* /rt:routing/rt:ribs/rt:rib/rt:routes/rt:route/rib-ext:application-
tag
* /rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:simple-next-hop/rib-
ext:repair-path
/rt:routes/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options /rt:next-hop-
* /rt:routes/rt:route/rt:next-hop/rt:next-hop-options/rt:next-hop-
list/rt:next-hop-list/rt:next-hop/rib-ext:repair-path
The exposure of
Exposing the Routing Information Base (RIB) RIB will expose the routing topology of the network.
This may be undesirable due to the fact that such exposure may
facilitate other attacks. Additionally, network operators may
consider their topologies to be sensitive confidential data.
All the security considerations for [RFC8349] writable and readable data nodes
defined in [RFC8349] apply to the augmentations described herein.
