1. Introduction

This document defines a data model for Large-Scale Measurement Platforms (LMAPs) [RFC7594]. The data model is defined using the YANG [RFC7950] data modeling language. It is based on the LMAP Information Model [RFC8193].

1.1. Terminology

This document uses the LMAP terminology defined in [RFC7594].

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.

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:

  • Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
  • Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration (read-write), "ro" means state data (read-only), and "w" means RPC input data (write-only).
  • Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
  • Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":").
  • Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown.

2. Data Model Overview

The LMAP framework has three basic elements: Measurement Agents (MAs), Controllers, and Collectors. Measurement Agents initiate the actual measurements, which are called Measurement Tasks in the LMAP terminology. The Controller instructs one or more MAs and communicates the set of Measurement Tasks an MA should perform and when. The Collector accepts Reports from the MAs with the Results from their Measurement Tasks.

The YANG data model for LMAP has been split into three modules:

   1.  The module ietf-lmap-common.yang provides common definitions such
   
       as LMAP-specific data types.
   
   2.  The module ietf-lmap-control.yang defines the data structures
       exchanged between a Controller and Measurement Agents.
   
   3.  The module ietf-lmap-report.yang defines the data structures
       exchanged between Measurement Agents and Collectors.
   
   As shown in Figure 1, a Controller, implementing
   ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-control.yang as a client, will
   instruct Measurement Agents, which implement ietf-lmap-common.yang
   and ietf-lmap-control.yang as servers.  A Measurement Agent,
   implementing ietf-lmap-common.yang and ietf-lmap-report.yang, will
   send results to a Collector, which implements ietf-lmap-common.yang
   and ietf-lmap-report.yang as a server.

3. Relationship to the Information Model

The LMAP Information Model [RFC8193] is divided into six aspects. They are mapped into the YANG data model as explained below:

  • Preconfiguration Information: This is not modeled explicitly since bootstrapping information is outside the scope of this data model. Implementations may use some of the Configuration Information also for bootstrapping purposes.
  • Configuration Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/agent subtree, the /lmap/schedules subtree, and the /lmap/tasks subtree described below. Some items have been left out because they are expected to be dealt with by the underlying protocol.
  • Instruction Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/suppressions subtree, the /lmap/schedules subtree, and the /lmap/tasks subtree described below.
  • Logging Information: Some of the Logging Information, in particular 'success/failure/warning messages in response to information updates from the Controller', will be handled by the protocol used to manipulate the LMAP-specific configuration. The LMAP data model defined in this document assumes that runtime Logging Information will be communicated using protocols that do not require a formal data model, e.g., the syslog protocol defined in [RFC5424].
  • Capability and Status Information: Some of the Capability and Status Information is modeled in the /lmap/capability subtree. The list of supported Tasks is modeled in the /lmap/capabilities/ task list. Status Information about Schedules and Actions is included in the /lmap/schedules subtree. Information about network interfaces can be obtained from the ietf-interfaces YANG data model [RFC7223]. Information about the hardware and the firmware can be obtained from the ietf-system YANG data model [RFC7317]. A device identifier can be obtained from the ietf- hardware YANG data model [YANG-HARDWARE].
  • Reporting Information: This is modeled by the report data model to be implemented by the Collector. Measurement Agents send results to the Collector by invoking an RPC on the Collector.

These six Information Model aspects use a collection of common information objects. These common information objects are represented in the YANG data model as follows:

  • Schedules: Schedules are modeled in the /lmap/schedules subtree.
  • Channels: Channels are not modeled since the NETCONF server configuration data model [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] already provides a mechanism to configure NETCONF server Channels.
  • Task Configurations: Configured Tasks are modeled in the /lmap/ tasks subtree.
  • Event Information: Event definitions are modeled in the /lmap/ events subtree.

5. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this document 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 Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246].

The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] 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:

   /lmap/agent           This subtree configures general properties of
                         the Measurement Agent such as its identity,
                         measurement point, or Controller timeout.  This
                         subtree should only have write access for the
                         system responsible for configuring the
                         Measurement Agent.
   
   /lmap/tasks           This subtree configures the Tasks that can be
                         invoked by a Controller.  This subtree should
                         only have write access for the system
                         responsible for configuring the Measurement
                         Agent.  Care must be taken to not expose Tasks
                         to a Controller that can cause damage to the
                         system or the network.
   
   /lmap/schedules       This subtree is used by a Controller to define
                         the Schedules and Actions that are executed
                         when certain events occur.  Unauthorized access
                         can cause unwanted load on the device or
                         network, or it might direct measurement traffic
                         to targets that become victims of an attack.
   
   /lmap/suppressions    This subtree is used by a Controller to define
                         Suppressions that can temporarily disable the
                         execution of Schedules or Actions.
                         Unauthorized access can either disable
                         measurements that should normally take place or
                         cause measurements to take place during times
                         when normally no measurements should take
                         place.
   
   /lmap/events          This subtree is used by a Controller to define
                         events that trigger the execution of Schedules
                         and Actions.  Unauthorized access can either
                         disable measurements that should normally take
                         place or cause measurements to take place
                         during times when normally no measurements
                         should take place or at a frequency that is
                         higher than normally expected.

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:

   /lmap/agent           This subtree provides information about the
                         Measurement Agent.  This information may be
                         used to select specific targets for attacks.
   
   /lmap/capabilities    This subtree provides information about the
                         capabilities of the Measurement Agent,
                         including its software version number and the
                         Tasks that it supports.  This information may
                         be used to execute targeted attacks against
                         specific implementations.
   
   /lmap/schedules       This subtree provides information about the
                         Schedules and their associated Actions executed
                         on the Measurement Agent.  This information may
                         be used to check whether attacks against the
                         implementation are effective.
   
   /lmap/suppressions    This subtree provides information about the
                         Suppressions that can be active on the
                         Measurement Agent.  This information may be
                         used to predict time periods where measurements
                         take place (or do not take place).

Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /report   The report operation is used to send locally collected
   
             measurement results to a remote Collector.  Unauthorized
             access may leak measurement results, including those from
             passive measurements.

The data model uses a number of identifiers that are set by the Controller. Implementors may find these identifiers useful for the identification of resources, e.g., to identify objects in a file system providing temporary storage. Since the identifiers used by the YANG data model may allow characters that may be given special interpretation in a specific context, implementations must ensure that identifiers are properly mapped into safe identifiers.

The data model allows specifying options in the form of name/value pairs that are passed to programs. Implementors ought to take care that option names and values are passed literally to programs. In particular, shell expansions that may alter option names and values must not be performed.

Appendix A. Example Parameter Extension Module

Sometimes Tasks may require complicated parameters that cannot easily be fit into options, i.e., a list of name/value pairs. In such a situation, it is possible to augment the ietf-lmap-control.yang and ietf-lmap-report.yang data models with definitions for more complex parameters. The following example module demonstrates this idea using the parameters of UDP latency metrics as an example (although UDP latency metric parameters do not really need such an extension module).
