YANG Data Model for OSPFv3 Extended Link State Advertisements (LSAs)
Abstract
This document defines a YANG data model augmenting the IETF OSPF YANG
data model (RFC 9129) to provide support for OSPFv3 Link State
Advertisement (LSA) Extensibility as defined in RFC 8362. OSPFv3
Extended LSAs provide extensible TLV-based LSAs for the base LSA
types defined in RFC 5340.

1. Overview
YANG [RFC7950] is a data definition language used to define the
contents of a conceptual datastore that allows networked devices to
be managed using NETCONF [RFC6241]. YANG is proving relevant beyond
its initial confines as bindings to other interfaces (e.g., RESTCONF
[RFC8040]) and encodings other than XML (e.g., JSON) are being
defined. Furthermore, YANG data models can be used as the basis for
implementation of other interfaces, such as Command-Line Interfaces
(CLIs) and programmatic APIs.
This document defines a YANG data model augmenting the IETF OSPF YANG
data model [RFC9129], which itself augments [RFC8349], to provide
support for configuration and operational state for OSPFv3 Extended
Link State Advertisements (LSAs) as defined in [RFC8362].
The YANG module specified in this document conforms to the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].
2. Tree Diagrams
This document uses the graphical representation of data models
defined in [RFC8340].
3. OSPFv3 Extended LSAs
This document defines a YANG data model for the OSPFv3 Extended LSA
feature. It is an augmentation of the OSPF base model [RFC9129] to
provide support for OSPFv3 LSA Extensibility [RFC8362]. OSPFv3
Extended LSAs provide extensible TLV-based LSAs for the base LSA
types defined in [RFC5340].
The OSPFv3 Extended LSA YANG module requires support for the OSPF
base model, which defines basic OSPF configuration and state. The
OSPF YANG data model augments the "ietf-routing" YANG data model
defined in [RFC8349]. The augmentations defined in the "ietf-ospfv3-
extended-lsa" YANG module provide global configuration, area
configuration, and the addition of OSPFv3 Extended LSAs to the Link
State Database (LSDB) operational state.

5. 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 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 the "ietf-ospfv3-
extended-lsa.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:
/ospf:ospf/extended-lsa-support
/ospf:ospf/ospf:areas/ospf:area/extended-lsa-support
The ability to disable or enable OSPFv3 Extended LSA support can
result in a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, since OSPFv3 routers will
use solely OSPFv3 Extended LSAs or OSPFv3 Legacy LSAs for the OSPFv3
SPF computation. OSPFv3 routers using different types of LSAs will
result in incomplete reachability and possible partitioning of the
OSPFv3 routing domain. Refer to Section 6 of [RFC8362] for more
information on OSPFv3 Extended LSA compatibility.
Some of the readable data nodes in the "ietf-ospfv3-extended-
lsa.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.
Exposing the Link State Database (LSDB) will in turn expose the
detailed topology of the network. This includes topological
information from other routers. This may be undesirable due to the
fact that exposure may facilitate other attacks. Additionally,
network operators may consider their topologies to be sensitive
confidential data.
6. IANA Considerations
Per this document, IANA has registered the following URI in the "IETF
XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ospfv3-extended-lsa
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
Per this document, IANA has registered the following YANG module in
the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]:
Name: ietf-ospfv3-extended-lsa
Maintained by IANA: N
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ospfv3-extended-lsa
Prefix: ospfv3-e-lsa
Reference: RFC 9587
