DMM Working Group J. Kaippallimalil Internet-Draft Futurewei Intended status: Standards Track L.M. Contreras Expires: 13 March 2026 Telefonica U. Chunduri Intel Corporation 9 September 2025 UDP Tunnel Attachment Circuit as a Service draft-jlu-dmm-udp-tunnel-acaas-00 Abstract Delivery of network services over a Layer 3 tunnel bearer assumes that the appropriate setup is provisioned over links that connect the customer termination points and provider network. The setup needed to allow successful data exchange over these links is referred to as an attachment circuit (AC) while the underlying link for carrying network services is referred to as "bearer", in this case a Layer 3 UDP tunnel. This document specifies an extension for UDP tunnel as Layer 3 bearer to the YANG service data model for AC defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit].

Introduction Connectivity services provided by networks to customers ensure the transfer of data between termination points in the network. The objectives of the connectivity service can be negotiated and agreed between customer and network provider. To facilitate data transfer within the provider network, it is assumed that the appropriate setup is provisioned over links that connect customer termination points and provider network (usually via Provider Edges (PEs)). This is referred to as attachment circuit (AC) and the underlying link defined in this document is a UDP tunnel as Layer 3 bearer. In general, a bearer can be described as a physical or logical link that connects a customer node (or site) to a provider network. [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] describes further details of bearers and 'Attachment Circuits'-as-a-service. [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] describes YANG data models for bearers and 'Attachment circuits'-as-a-service ACaaS). Layer 3 UDP tunnel as bearer is not defined there and is an extension defined in this document. Section 2 describes the data module ietf-ac-udpt for Layer 3 UDP tunnel service. Section 3 describes the UDP tunnel YANG model. Kaippallimalil, et al. Expires 13 March 2026 [Page 2] Internet-Draft UDP Tunnel Attachment Circuit as a Servi September 2025 2. Attachment Circuit for UDP Tunnel [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] defines YANG service model for AC to an IETF slice [RFC9543] based on layer 2 bearers. This document extends the YANG service model for AC in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] to support UDP tunnels. The 'l3-service' and 'l3-tunnel-service' in the AC structure in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] is used to configure the relevant layer 3 tunnel properties of a UDP tunnel AC. IPv4 and IPv6 properties of the UDP tunnel AC are provided in "ip-connection" and the extension below adds source port number and range for the UDP tunnel. module: ietf-ac-udpt augment /ac-svc:attachment-circuits/ac-svc:ac/ac-svc:ip-connection /ac-svc:l3-service/ac-svc:l3-tunnel-service /ac-svc:l3-tunnel-service: +--rw (udp-port)? +--:(port-range-or-operator) +--rw source-port-range-or-operator +--rw (port-range-or-operator)? +--:(range) | +--rw lower-port inet:port-number | +--rw upper-port inet:port-number +--:(operator) +--rw operator? operator +--rw port inet:port-number Figure 1: UDP Tunnel Yang Module 'l3-tunnel-service' in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] is extended in this document to carry UDP source port number/range. 3. ietf-ac-udp-tunnel YANG Module The "ietf-ac-udp-tunnel" module uses definitions in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit] and [RFC8519].

Acknowledgements Mohamed Boucadair helped with Yang structures for the ietf-ac-udp- tunnel attachment circuit in this document. 5. Security Considerations This section is modeled after the template described in Section 3.7 of [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis]. The "ietf-ac-udp-tunnel" YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have to use a secure transport layer (e.g., SSH [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446] or QUIC [RFC9000] and have to use mutual authentication. Servers MUST verify that requesting clients are entitled to access and manipulate a given bearer or AC. For example, a given customer must not have access to bearers (attachment circuits) of other customers. 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. The data nodes in the YANG model in this document inherits from [I-D.ietf-opsawg-teas-attachment-circuit], and the security constraints to the data structures there apply. Data nodes defined in the ietf-ac-udp-tunnel YANG module 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) and delete operations to these data nodes without proper protection or authentication can have a negative effect on network operations. The 'udp-port' information may be used to track a customer of the slice service and may be considered a violation of the customer-provider trust relationship. 6.
