| RFC 9617 | YANG Data Model for IOAM | August 2024 |
| Zhou, et al. | Standards Track | [Page] |
In situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) is an example of an on-path hybrid measurement method. IOAM defines a method for producing operational and telemetry information that may be exported using the in-band or out-of-band method. RFCs 9197 and 9326 discuss the data fields and associated data types for IOAM. This document defines a YANG module for the configuration of IOAM functions.¶

In situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) is an example of an on-path hybrid measurement method. IOAM defines a method for producing operational and telemetry information that may be exported using the in-band or out-of-band method. The data types and data formats for IOAM data records have been defined in [RFC9197] and [RFC9326]. The IOAM data can be embedded in many protocol encapsulations, such as the Network Service Header (NSH) [RFC9452] and IPv6.¶
This document defines a data model for the configuration of IOAM capabilities using the YANG data modeling language [RFC7950]. This YANG data model supports five IOAM options, which are as follows:¶
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 following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this specification:¶
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950].¶
Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340].¶
The IOAM model is organized as a list of profiles, as shown in the following figure. Each profile associates with one flow and the corresponding IOAM information.¶

¶
The "info" parameter is a container for all the read-only information that assists monitoring systems in the interpretation of the IOAM data.¶
The "enabled" parameter is an administrative configuration. When it is set to "true", IOAM configuration is enabled for the system. Meanwhile, the IOAM data plane functionality is enabled.¶
The "filter" parameter is used to identify a flow, where the IOAM profile can apply. There may be multiple filter types. Access Control Lists (ACLs) [RFC8519] provide a common way to specify a flow. Each IOAM profile can associate with an ACE (Access Control Entry). When the matched ACE "forwarding" action is "accept", IOAM actions MUST be driven by the accepted packets.¶
The IOAM data can be encapsulated into multiple protocols, e.g., IPv6 [RFC9486] and the NSH [RFC9452]. The "protocol-type" parameter is used to indicate where IOAM is applied. For example, if "protocol-type" is set to "ipv6", the IOAM ingress node will encapsulate the associated flow according to [RFC9486].¶
In this document, IOAM data includes five encapsulation types, i.e., incremental tracing data, pre-allocated tracing data, direct export data, proof of transit data, and end-to-end data. In practice, multiple IOAM data types can be encapsulated into the same IOAM header. The "profile" parameter contains a set of sub-profiles, each of which relates to one encapsulation type. The configured object may not support all the sub-profiles. The supported sub-profiles are indicated by five defined features, i.e., "incremental-trace", "preallocated-trace", "direct-export", "proof-of-transit", and "edge-to-edge".¶
This document uses the "ietf-access-control-list" YANG module [RFC8519], the "ietf-interfaces" YANG module [RFC8343], and the "ietf-lime-time-types" YANG module [RFC8532].¶
The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].¶
To ensure visibility into the entire path that a packet takes within an IOAM domain, the IOAM tracing data is expected to be collected at every node that a packet traverses. The Pre-allocated Trace-Option will create pre-allocated space for each node to populate its information. The "preallocated-tracing-profile" parameter contains the detailed information for the pre-allocated tracing data. This information includes:¶
+--rw preallocated-tracing-profile {preallocated-trace}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw trace-types
| +--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
| +--rw trace-type* ioam-trace-type
+--rw max-length? uint32
¶
The Incremental Trace-Option contains a variable-length list of node data fields, where each node allocates and pushes its node data immediately following the option header. The "incremental-tracing-profile" parameter contains the detailed information for the incremental tracing data. This information is the same as that for the Pre-allocated Tracing Profile; see Section 3.2.¶
+--rw incremental-tracing-profile {incremental-trace}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw trace-types
| +--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
| +--rw trace-type* ioam-trace-type
+--rw max-length? uint32
¶
The Direct Export Option is used as a trigger for IOAM data to be directly exported or locally aggregated without being pushed into in-flight data packets. The "direct-export-profile" parameter contains the detailed information for the direct export data. This information is the same as that for the Pre-allocated Tracing Profile (Section 3.2), but with two more optional variables:¶
+--rw direct-export-profile {direct-export}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw trace-types
| +--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
| +--rw trace-type* ioam-trace-type
+--rw flow-id? uint32
+--rw enable-sequence-number? boolean
¶
The IOAM proof of transit data is used to support the path or service function chain verification use cases. The "pot-profile" parameter is intended to contain the detailed information for the proof of transit data. The "use-namespace" parameter indicates the namespace used for the POT types. The "pot-type" parameter indicates a particular POT variant that specifies the POT data that is included. There may be several POT types, each having different configuration data. To align with [RFC9197], this document only defines IOAM POT type 0. Users need to augment this module for the configuration of a specific POT type.¶
+--rw pot-profile {proof-of-transit}?
+--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
+--rw pot-type? ioam-pot-type
¶
The IOAM Edge-to-Edge Option is used to carry data that is added by the IOAM encapsulating node and interpreted by the IOAM decapsulating node. The "e2e-profile" parameter contains the detailed information for the edge-to-edge data. This information includes:¶
+--rw e2e-profile {edge-to-edge}?
+--rw node-action? ioam-node-action
+--rw e2e-types
+--rw use-namespace? ioam-namespace
+--rw e2e-type* ioam-e2e-type

<CODE ENDS>¶
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 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.¶
There are a number of data nodes defined in this 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:¶
Some of the readable data nodes in this 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:¶
IANA has registered the following URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:¶
IANA has registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]:¶
An XML example (per [W3C.REC-xml11-20060816]) of the Incremental Tracing Profile is depicted in the following figure. This configuration is received by an IOAM ingress node. This node encapsulates the IOAM data in the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option header. The trace type indicates that each on-path node needs to capture the transit delay and add the data to the IOAM node data list. The incremental tracing data space is variable; however, the node data list must not exceed 512 bytes.¶

An example of the Pre-allocated Tracing Profile is depicted in the following figure. This configuration is received by an IOAM ingress node. This node first identifies the target flow by using the ACL parameter "test-acl" and then encapsulates the IOAM data in the NSH. The trace type indicates that each on-path node needs to capture the namespace-specific data in short format and add the data to the IOAM node data list. This node pre-allocates the node data list in the packet with 512 bytes.¶

An example of the Edge-to-Edge Profile is depicted in the following figure. This configuration is received by an IOAM egress node. This node detects the IOAM Edge-to-Edge Option in the IPv6 extension header and removes the option to clean all the IOAM data. As the IOAM egress node, it may collect the edge-to-edge data and deliver it to the data-exporting process.¶
